There’s always someone on posts like this talking about thrifty (i.e. superior) they were at their wedding but I’ve got you all beat: not getting married saves SO much money!

Wow, Sixty five grand really buys a lot of tacky overly ornate bullshit, huh? Guess these kids don’t need to worry about student loans, a down payment on a house or all the usual stuff a twenty-something generally would be concerned about.

“Right, I’d have no problem with that article in a magazine that’s for middle school aged kids.”

It isn't a rumor, she has been forthright about it. But I fail to see how that has any bearing on him cheating on her over thirty years later. She slept with Randy while just beginning a relationship with Ozzy, who was still married to someone else at the time. Sharon also told Ozzy the day after it happened and he…

Could it be purely coincidental that the skinny girls come off okay in your story, but the bigger girl doesn’t?

Mace—yes. Unless you’re pretty strong and the dog is pretty weak/small, a stick might just make it angrier and defensive. A whistle probably wouldn’t do much for an aggressive dog either. Mace is the way to go.

Depending on one’s perspective, it’s also possible to view it as “Wouldn’t have been born.” Not everyone believes life begins at conception. For instance, I’ve miscarried twice (10 and 11 weeks). I do not consider either scenario as a dead child. Some women might.

I still crank My Body the Hand Grenade in my car. That live version of “Asking For It” is a goddamned gut-punch. I’d listen to Live Through This except it’s scratched to hell. And my stupid 2004 car does not have an auxiliary jack.

Almost certainly no harm? It’s what you want to gamble with for sure, your unborn child.

But seriously, folks, alcohol during pregnancy is no joke and should not be dismissed as moralistic hang wringing. There can be serious disruptions to the fetal development (especially in early pregnancy) and there’s no “safe” amount — every woman and every pregnancy is different.

>you can’t propose the idea of letting the wealthy pay for everything, while the poor can remain poor

The idea that we could control the process beyond the most basic level seems adorably quaint and naive in retrospect.

Here’s a little secret not all parents share because it feels wrong: You might not feel anything for your new baby when you meet him or her at first.

Yeah, I’d like to support the sisterhood on this, but I just can’t, mainly because I despise him just that much. If Melania didn’t know what she was getting into by marrying the controversial rich asshole, accent on “asshole,” that’s kind of her problem. Some small part of me thinks she is seriously wondering what she…

This has been an especially terrible election cycle. Lets all take a Ruthie Foster break. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1n_d4e…

Not sure this will ease your mind, but wanted to give you my two cents. A semi-experienced working mom here (7 years under my belt), and I will say it is not easy, but it is getting easier. In the same way, it has been enjoyable and miserable but is getting more and more on the side of enjoyable these days. My oldest…

I think for most women the truth is somewhere in the middle. Yeah, there are a ton of shitty parts but there are a ton of awesome parts, too. And it varies so much depending on the age of your kid(s). I absolutely adore my children and I love being a mother. But they also frustrate the hell out of me and piss me off.…

It’s hard to do but you can just ignore that shit. I’m working on it. I grew up in a loving household on a pretty long leash. I did a lot of activities, but it was always stuff I wanted to do. My mom never “signed me up” for anything - I asked to participate. So, I figure I’ll just parent like that. You want to do…

But for viewers who aren’t yet at the parenting stage, the inundation with negative stories about that next step is frustrating and depressing. Watching them, it’s easy to wonder why anyone would procreate at all.
