i always wear mine, my husband never wears any. he hates jewellery and i don't push him because i don't really care. it's also not necessary because he talks about his wife to almost EVERYONE (i on the other hand don't do that). if he had gotten me a golden ring (mine is silver) i would never wear it. i wear the ring…

yeah, but it soon will be turned into a movie, or a sitcom or somethin' like that... o_O

uh, i know how this story will end. somewhere around sandwich no. 200 he will say something along the lines of: "hey babes, this is really boring! i hate eating f*cking sandwiches all day - this is goodbye. and a word of advice: learn how to cook properly, maybe then you'll find a man some day!"

i like the idea of the wives ganging up on him :D

i do believe that people shouldn't judge your for your privilege, but how you handle it. having said that: she totally sounds like she couldn't handle her advantages. and i am pretty sure that all those people she names (doorman etc.) NEVER look at her in a bad way and that no one ever criticised her for her ways. i…

that is not all. i didn't claim that your research results were just "an opinion". i just want to make clear that my book-and-doctor-research is not an opinion either.

oh and yeah, it is part of our maternity protection rights at the work place here in germany. so you are probably right, it is just an opinion...

my "fact" then is an "opinion" of all the doctors i went to. if this is the case and they just agreed on an "opinion", then be it. i am not a doctor, but i talked to a lot of doctors. i can also quote you my gynocology book (it's in german) where it says that you shouldn't lift more than 5 kilo after the 25th week of…

sure, it can work. but it is a medical fact that heavy lifting during pregnancy increases the risk of losing your baby EXTREMELY. so it might be that this lady and her baby will be totally fine. but yeah, it might very well be not the case. she seems to have managed so far, which she should be thankful for, but it…

i am currently pregnant, also did a little weightlifting before my pregnancy and am totally FOR women to make their own choices. still, i think that what she does is highly risky! i cannot even lift the vacuum cleaner anymore - i can feel how it is not good for my baby. heavy weightlifting can result in an early…

gladly so. i am from germany, born and raised, and the situation for women and children is quite good. having said that, we do have a problem with discrimination and racism here, especially towards "southern-looking" people who might be muslims (sometimes even italians with the name "christian" get mistaken for…

i am a muslim woman. they (doctors, teachers, random people on the street) tried to save me very often by claiming that my marriage was forced, by thinking that - for example - i don't smoke because my parents don't allow me to. many muslim women fight the fight, and that's completely ok. and it's good if there are…

ah doctors... when i had problems with my appetite and went to the doctors to maybe get checked for anything, she asked whether i am married, and then - when i confirmed (i was 26 at that time) - just very randomly asked me whether it was a forced marriage. yeah, i'm muslim so i guess this is the ONLY way i could ever…

thank you for showing me beauty :D this is the BEST!

that's what i thought... sailermoon-ish in a way...

to make one thing quite sure: it is NOT ok to call someone a slut and act accordingly towards them. having said that: unfortunately it still happens, and i think there is a big difference between telling your kid that she is a slut and WANTS the attention, or that her attire (or his for that matter) can be considered…

i see... now i am getting closer to the truth. don't you just hate it when people don't get jokes and you have to explain them some often that every funny is lost? i'm sorry for being that person... ;)

okey, thanks - now i am not worried anymore :) but i still sort of don't understand your comment or what exactly you were referencing... (maybe i am just a little slow, and english is also not my mothertongue - maybe that's why i don't get all nuances... )

how so?
