Too bad it’s not America or she would lose right now on the basis of her bad teeth.

It could also be isis or some isis wannabe tryna eliminate the gray zone and all that. Everybody’s got an agenda. Too bad very little of it is any good.

Most embarrassing alum. The end.

According to Michael Harriot over at The Root, pretty much anyone, it would seem. http://www.theroot.com/richard-spencers-racist-little-secret-1794463770

A few people with a lot of money wanted to have beers with them

Sing It

You are absolutely correct

I kinda feel like the first daughters’ hair was criticized because they didn’t relax it...when they were tiny kids. How can you insist that people pour lye on their heads at any time, let alone when they are children. Eesh. Obvious racism much.

Thanks, I really appreciate that.

I was at a work conference once and this woman I had just met asked if I had kids and when I said no she said “oh, you’re enjoying (country where I live)“ like I was eating bonbons or wasting time or something. She had recently had a baby and Got Religion but still. She had no idea who I was. I could’ve been infertile…

Congratulations! Hope it goes great.

I feel this. I also get that treatment, and I’m in my late 30s. I remember going to a wedding a few years ago, on my way to immigrate to my now-husband’s home country, and because I wasn’t married, I was put at the singles table with a bunch of yuppies a decade younger than me. It was like uh, no. People have always…

I have a lot of family pressure also. That said, I also know that if I had a kid, my family would have snide, undermining things to say about however I was raising it. People always have something to say. It’s probably only worth listening if they know what they’re talking about, and you know yourself best.

I haaaaate that argument. Oh, by all means, bring a child you don’t want into the world-a person who requires enormous amounts of care and resources for years and years, that you will somehow, in spite of your best efforts, eventually project all your resentments onto and thwart in some way or other, because, IDK,…

I feel really fortunate w/r/t the household chores thing-my husband’s mother is a lifelong housewife who waits on everyone hand and foot. He never liked not knowing how to do basic things for himself and being treated like he was somehow incapable, and when he left to work abroad and learned how to take care of…

Children are definitely tedious, and having to relive parts of your life through another person does seem like the garbagiest part of the whole deal, tbh.

I appreciate hearing this. I’m sure it can be legit overwhelming for a lot of reasons, but making it a part of your larger life and not allowing everything to be a drama-filled country song makes it seem more appealing.

People are shitty shitty garbage. They buy into all this romantic garbage but still see romantic relationships as fundamentally transactional. What do you get, what do you produce blahblahblah. It is whatever you make it except that it isn’t-someone will still decide you are a loser. So do what you want. Good for your…

Good. I’m 37 and married and trying to decide what I want to do about it. Part of me would like to have a child and part of me is sick to death of the bullshit that’s being peddled by people who never valued me for my actual strengths.

I did girl scouts all the way through and was given a lifetime membership as a gift when I finished my gold award in high school. I sold 600 boxes of cookies when I was 14 and the money I made from it took me on a trip to Bermuda. I got to do so many cool and interesting things that would’ve been economically out of…
