Cystic fibrosis makes men infertile.

It’s just bonkers.

I had a very strange complication with my last birth: Peripartum Cardiomyopathy. No one listened to me when I described my symptoms in the hospital (one of the biggest and best in the country, btw) after delivering a very healthy baby following a very healthy and uneventful pregnancy. I was discharged but at home, my…

Even though I’m sure nobody cares, this makes me really happy because purple is my favourite colour. I’m not sure I’ve met a shade of purple I don’t like.

I think his intention was probably one of two things, both of which are dumb as hell on his part. The first is that no one really uses Sacagewea coins so he was like here is a useless dollar for your useless lawsuit. The second is that he was probably trying to make a point about how there are more important…

We’re all distraught over this, but don’t dole out spectacularly stupid advice. At the heart of this story is the omnipresence of cameras - and if you think that by storming in and assaulting a child bully at school is going to yield positive results in this day and age (nothing like when your badass mother did it),…

Awwww FFS, this sucks but let’s lance the boil and get rid of all the scum.

This may actually work for your family but to me it just seems like you are saying its too hard. People (mostly women) figure this stuff all the time because someone has to. Maybe try harder to do some of the logistics stuff and maybe let your wife try for the absolute best forts for a change. Not gonna lie, if I…

A lot of the comments are talking about dishes and laundry and cooking duties as if doing those for a day are what the emotion/mental load is all about. I don’t think that’s the case. From previous discussions I’ve seen on the subject the extra load usually placed on the Mom is the complex schedule keeping and…

I can’t speak for your wife, but in my case and many women I know, we are good at that stuff BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BE. We hear these gendered excuses so many times, throughout our entire lives. Also, no offense, but what is the “best” pillow fort? There is no bar for that. However, “getting your kids vaccinated when they…

You sound like my partner. After almost 20 years of doing all the unpleasant shit that I am good at, I am at a breaking point. The burden has shifted, but the damage is done. We are in couples counseling and I am pretty pissed about about how things went down. I regret it and its been really unfair. There are no…

Poor Rand Paul; yet another victim of The Bowling Green Massacre.

Because cooking and clean up is the entertainment being provided. How many “dinner parties” have I been invited to, which are advertised to start at 7 or so, but the ingredients are actually still in the fridge at 7...dinner finally cooked and served at 10 after everyone has gathered around for three hours just…

“...some lame-o is sure to offer to start washing them, and then insisting, and then your glamorous party becomes a hootenany of chores instead of the Algonquin Round Table like you’d hoped.”

How can people with open plan even have dinner parties? All the dirty dishes are sitting there staring you in the face and some lame-o is sure to offer to start washing them, and then insisting, and then your glamorous party becomes a hootenany of chores instead of the Algonquin Round Table like you’d hoped.

Makes sense. when I’m depressed and crying in front of the mirror the thing I want most is to be erased from existence.

actually laughed out loud, thx

Are you available on weekend evenings? I have three boys with a deep and abiding love of fart jokes and a serious hankering for mommy wine time.

I work with kids and one of my coworkers spent her entire morning fake farting in the face of and having her face fake-farted in by a six year old. He also thought this was hilarious. So. Checks out.

The toot of the toot and the butt of the butt.
