I feel like a dick, but I am here to judge Ms. WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME THEN way more than the perfectly coiffed. This is me with my filter turned off: that is so pathetic. What the hell is wrong with people that they can’t look at someone else and recognize that any comparison is apples to oranges because HELLO you are…

Theres a photo of me about..3 hours or so after giving birth: My husband is lovingly holding our son. I’m in the background, looking on from the hospital bed with a box of Cheez-Its in my hand and a mouth full of Oreos.

I like how I look in my first post-childbirth photo because I look like myself and my baby’s in it.

You know, I MUCH prefer talking with my mom-friends (I am childless). I know the conversation will last 20 minutes tops (they don’t have time), will involve a concise and humorous anecdote about their child, a rundown of what’s new with me, some quickie gossip, and then we each go on with our own lives and send each…

“you can’t rehabilitate a monster”

You seem to forget that 13 year old children do not have a developed prefrontal cortex, which helps to deal with aggression, planning, and abstract judgement, among other things. This is just one reason why this is complete bullshit.

EXACTLY. There’s a reason we don’t say that 13 year olds can consent to sex with adults.

Trying 13 year olds as adults is inhumane. Trying a 13 year old who is also mentally ill as an adult should be a violation of the constitution. Why is the US so batshit crazy when it comes to the criminal justice system?

I spent years working in the juvenile justice system. Anyone who thinks that a 13 year old has the same judgment therefore should be tried in the adult court knows very little about current research. Having kids tried as an adult is a political move by people who want to look tough on crime, not a move based on any…

Yes, because all the details of this case scream adult level cognitive processes/judgement.

It makes me sad that mothers feel like they have to live vicariously through their daughters, and it makes me sad that daughters think it’s normal to have so few boundaries with a parent.

I didn’t know this was a thing. I’m so glad the first time I’ve learned about it is through Jez and not...you know...personal experience.

I would pay like. Kardashian money to see my mother try and walk in these heels.

that top one is ESPECIALLY cool

Sorry if this is huge! This is my emerald sparkler. Diamonds are dead.

My friend has the most gorgeous moonstone for hers. It’s a perfect little sphere, all by itself, and it’s beautiful. And bizarrely, she has been accosted at bars and accused of being a manipulative harlot* because she doesn’t have a diamond, and how else are people going to know that she’s married? People are…

I should really have known better than to click through expecting something that’s not sarcastic.

New Rule #1: Never spend so much money on an engagement ring that it would be worth the money to hire a lawyer to sue for it back.

I love the fact that your post engendered a response from a troll like the one who's pending.

I returned the ring when I broke it off from an abusive ex and I always regretted doing such. It would of paid for a decent vacation which I rightly deserved.
