Jennifer. A responsible mom tells her young child she's just laughing her ass off over the toy because it looks like so much fun, then quietly removes the bizarre appendage from the packaging after said child is sound asleep on the floor. Responsible mom can then keep the doohickey to show her friends over cocktails…

That is the same exact eyeroll and smirk BabyNom makes when I ask him if he just pooped and he says, "Ummmmm... no!" even though, yes, he totally just pooped.

I'd really like all the assholes who screech about free speech every time someone calls them an asshole for their asshole opinions to read this. THIS. THIS FUCKING RIGHT HERE is what free speech is about. These women are literally being tried for having an opinion different to that of their government. THIS is a free…

That's certainly true. Even so, the fact that you said you won't counsel patients about science because you "just can't wrap your mind around it" is alarming.

You know what alcohol increases? Chillness in moms; studies have shown that chill moms are happier, healthier, and better equipped to deal with the trials of motherhood, especially during stressful times like the holidays. Best time to drink, according to that same study (sample size = me)? While you're breastfeeding;…

Amen. Giving inaccurate medical advice because you (plural for the majority medical establishment) believe women/moms are stupid, is a dumb and insulting soapbox. I'm a grown ass woman who is not an alcoholic. I'll have a glass of wine if I want one.

Moms,

The year is 1997. I'm 9 years old, opening presents with my huge, Catholic family, as always. It's time to open my last gift, a box from my parents. The whole family watches as I unwrap the box, open it, and reveal... a butterfly print training bra and matching underwear! I. Am. Mortified.

So for most of my childhood my mother was just insanely busy with work 100% of the time, especially around Christmas, so she would usually give me cash and commission me around December to buy her Christmas presents for her and wrap them, just to take some of the stress off for the holidays. This way the only presents…

My birthday is exactly a week before Christmas, and as such, is almost always the day that my office chooses to have their holiday party. This has happened several times over the years with various jobs, and it is generally uncomfortable and has occasionally gotten weird.

The most memorable, however, was several…

No self-respecting girl swallows for a single-serving bag of Lays.

In a just universe, homeless (but queer and larcenous) waif answers the ad, slips something in the guy's drink to make him sleep, then ties him naked to the bed. Then she and her girlfriend ransack his place, take anything of value, and find the PINs for all his cards. They depart after taking a few pics of him naked…

Abuse Of Power Comes As No Surprise.

If your constituents don't like abortions, I would recommend to them that they avoid having any.

We don't want to have it both ways. We don't want men paying for our dates; we want financial independence. We don't want sole custody; we want a world where men and women are considered equally responsible for parenting. We don't want female on male rape to be treated less seriously than male on female rape; we want…

Those managers are enemabags. So is anyone who gets snotty about pregnant women trying to exist while being pregnant.

Come on, USA, it's about time you earned the term first world country and implemented several weeks of maternity leave before and at least half a year after someone gives birth. Paid maternity leave, of course. It might even help with abortion rates, because people are more inclined to have a baby, when they know they…

My friend was sexually assaulted at a college party one night, so her boyfriend found the guy's home phone number and called his mother in the middle of dinner to tell him what he had done.

You had never seen a person repent so fast before.

There will be more studies like this about high-powered/promising women, one of which I'm part of, and they'll implicate husbands and the usual suspects in business, though perhaps more forcibly than before.

My husband tried to pull this shit on me after talking a long bullshit 50/50 child/home-work line, and for the…

I thought I needed to do this. With five children I was looking at part time work so I could continue to do everything at home as well. But part time work is hard to come by and you hardly ever get to choose what *kind* of work you do if the hours are paramount.
