The cheapest center near us is $250 a week. And it was cheapest by a lot.

In TS2/3, if a kid saw one of their parents being romantic with someone who was not their other parent OR was not that parent’s spouse, they would just stand there crying.

Towards the end of my pregnancy, my friends and I did a scavenger hunt in the city. I think I walked like 8 miles that day. Over the course of our checklist, we spoke to a lot of people.

I once got detention in 8th grade because we had some pro-life speaker come in to commemorate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

When I was a kid, the priest at church described it as “turning the baby around” so the head isn’t in front, and then takes a pair of scissors, and jams it in the back of the head directly above your neck.

I laughed really hard at that joke, but I also felt kind of bad for her. She didn’t seem to love the whole situation when the camera was on her last night.

Yeah, she made a joke, and pundits have been talking about a “smooth transfer of power” re: his concession, and I’m so confused because while he certainly can contest the results of the election, should he lose, he doesn’t actually hold any power. Barack Obama is our current president. He is who the power will be…

Every goddamn year, I open this story LIKE A SUCKER while I’m on the toilet pooping. And now I’m afraid to move.

They gave me one in the ER over the summer. I ended up having a kidney stone.

My favorite story was my friend’s son. The baby was insured through the father’s insurance, the mother was not. C-section, but otherwise nothing fancy or out of the ordinary. Charges submitted to her insurance company? $32,000.

The pregnancy test they required me to take prior to an outpatient surgery cost $85.

Like I just don’t understand art, apparently. All this makes me feel is annoyed confusion.

Exactly! Like your eyes are literally always under your brow. There’s no other way to look at anyone.

I know they tell you to ease up to max dose (4 pills?) and start taking them before you go to bed.

It’s not a guarantee that she’ll get that sick with every pregnancy - I know people who have had hyperemesis gravidarum with one pregnancy but not another. One girl took the max dosage of Diclegis almost every day until she gave birth just to be able to function. Even though she continued to vomit frequently everyday…

The best part of her set was Pete Davidson openly hating her in the background.

It sounds really silly, but we didn’t tell anyone our names (we were being surprised so we had girl and boy names ready) because we’d had our names decided before we got pregnant - 2 girl names and 2 boy names. Very unlikely that they will change with time. So if we had told people, “Jessica Wakefield if we have a…

I named my daughter after a relative - my husband calls it an old lady name. It was my first choice girl name before I even knew my husband, and we’ve been together over 10 years.

In 5th grade, my uncle died and my parents got divorced. It was a sucky year. And I had a teacher who every single day would nitpick something stupid. One day she literally pulled my spelling test out and passed it around the room so everyone could see how “wrong” I wrote my capital N. She made fun of me like that as…

Not gonna lie, I couldn’t get through most days without the vending machine at work, so the people who fill them ARE heroes.
