100. And if I forget and am with the kids, someone inevitably asks if they have a “parent” with them.

See, I was the hippy breastfeeding, cloth-diapering liberal West Coaster to my in-laws genteel Southern Republican crowd. So immediate judgment on everything I did anyway; should have expected the same with my mothering. Neither MIL nor SIL breastfed and they thought it was gross. Got lots of judgy comments about the…

You do realize that not everybody can nurse, or every baby tolerate breast milk, right?

THIS. I was banished to the basement at my MIL’s house whenever I nursed my son. Spent all of Christmas there since the little babe was cluster feeding. Family togetherness.

Are you me? Because this is exactly my MIL. Total disdain like “You aren’t going to nurse him HERE, are you?!” when completely covered by a blanket. Yeah lady, I am. But your ass is welcome to go sit in the bathroom for a half hour if it bothers you that much. She never gave up with the comments, either. STILL MAKES…

OMG. I got halfway through and rage quit! WHAT. DID. I. JUST. READ.

My Mother-in-Law acted like I was whipping out a dildo and going to town whenever I nursed, it was so fucking awful. My husband tried to repeatedly talk to her, she said she just wasn’t comfortable since she didn’t nurse her kids and could I just not understand HOW THAT MADE HER FEEL??

This is what I think when people complain that you shouldn’t breastfeed/pump where a child could see you. Isn’t a boob one of the first things a child sees after it’s born?

Crazy thing is I got off to pump thinking “I don’t want to offend the guy next to me” But why? He probably sucked a boob too.

Huh? Isn’t the last chap shown Tyrion Lannister??

As someone who finds out tomorrow if they’re pregnant and just spent 5 hours combing the streets of my city looking for my wandering mother with early onset Alzheimer’s, Duncan Jones’ news just made me burst into tears. Good luck to him and his wife.

Right. There were so many low hanging questions that someone who had listened would have asked him, but she didn’t. And then she lay down again for Urick, which was even weirder. Aren’t left wing publications like the Intercept supposed to be generally wary of the blanket assertions of powerful state officials? Isn’t…

That article she wrote — especially the prologue to the Urick interview — was some of the SHITTIEST journalism I’ve ever seen. Her argument was basically, “He’s right because he’s an authority figure and he says it was a simple case.” She ignored all of the evidence to the contrary and never challenged him on it. I’m…

Well you couldn’t do any worse than Cristina Gutierrez.

From what I understand- Jay’s legal team contacted her specifically because she has some weird beef with NPR. The editorial section let her do the story (against their normal editorial standards) for the click bait.

Eh, there’s nothing I could add to the discussion about how terrible that hit piece was that she hasn’t heard before. She can access the comment section of her articles any time she wants.

I've been listening to Undisclosed, so between that and my Law and Order degree, I feel like they could put me on the bench and tag me in if anyone gets tired.

This is where I wind up, too. In general, unless someone is being hurt within a relationship (physically, mentally), I don’t view it as my business how anyone decides to conduct their private life. I have no issue with open relationships in their many incarnations. But we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about…

I’m gonna weigh in a little heavy here because I’ve been dealing with some bullshit at my kids preschool and yes it’s princess problems but it’s still a bitch. We started receiving IRS letters this year telling the parents to start sending our monthly checks for the school directly to them. We also became privy to…
