My husband and I both work from home. There are plenty of days when I’m shut in my office from 8:30-5:30 without more than a half hour sandwich break mid day. One of us takes the kid to preschool at 8 and the other picks up at 5 so the other can finish up work. And then at least one of us is working again after he…

Thank you. I work from home too. I had a nanny 20 hours a week before we started daycare so I could actually get 20 hours of work done. You get NOTHING done with a baby home. Especially babies who don’t nap, like mine.

Is this one of those things that no one should have to hear but it got left off the list?

Only if she looks like Megan. Homeboy’s got a TYPE. (Vanessa Marcil and Megan Fox are the same person, IMO. Except that Vanessa is my husbands “free pass” and he's never asked for the same courtesy for MF.)

Do you live somewhere with Kaiser as an option? They were INCREDIBLE when I was pregnant with my first child. Not super cheap monthly (around $300), but the maternity care more than made up for it. I paid $20 in copays-total-my entire pregnancy and then $600 for my entire hospital stay. That was it.

I love how it sounds like CA gives benefits to all workers. It doesn’t. I work full time, but for myself as a sole proprietor (I'm a freelance designer). I don’t pay into state disability and therefore (maybe rightfully) I don’t get any help. Instead I’m busting my ass at 6 months pregnant trying to work/save enough…

Mmmmmmmmm Mesa Grill. So. Fucking. Good.

80s too.

When I bought my first pregnancy test I was 30, married, and hoping it was positive...that thing was locked behind glass at Walgreens and I had to push a button that announced over the loud speaker that someone needed help in the family planning aisle. It was for some reason mortifying. And all I could think of was…

I hardly think you can call him a “minor” candidate at this point in the game, but whatever makes you feel better.

Cinnamon and Peppermint are not flavors that belong in alcohol. Unless that alcohol is mouthwash.

Never required but still the norm, I believe. I never do two expensive gifts. Either one cheap and one nice or two “middle road” gifts.

Barf. Not one of my 3 bridesmaids got me a gift. They did, however, each pay for airfare and a dress. I bought their shoes and hotel room. It was the least I could do. Them being there for me was totally a gift.

I've never heard of it. I might have to begrudgingly check it out now.

WORST? I cannot take that designation away from her brother quite yet.

Like someone's house. Potluck. Beer. Cheap. Fun. I'm all over it.

I am too old to pay for any outdoor festival that doesn’t include at least one alcoholic drink in the entrance price.

I am literally only awake at 1am (or 12. or 11pm.) because my 3 year old insists on waking us up so one of us can sit with him when he pees in the middle of the night. Par-tay.

I don't even remember that far back.

Whatever happened to shooting fleeing suspects in the knee as a last resort? I miss those days.
