I’m in this hole. I was in the middle of “prove yourself years” and paid more than my husband. Now the youngest is in school, I’m over 40 and I can’t find a job. Kids turned me into the “stopped looking for work unemployed.”

“Real Love” cover by Regina Spektor. The song is lovely, but our wedding had a bunch of go wrongs. I had a stereo song play through mono speakers (!?) So there was no singing. My godmother who is a total HBIC (i.e. Emily Gilmore) shot laserbeams from her eyes at the DJ. I can laugh now...

I’m following just the accused copier now. Girl huffing about being copied by her friend was so boring in high school. But dead-eyed trying too hard copier is always fascinating. I see you girl who always ran for student council, never won but cheerfully took the class.

This is good to know. I was getting an uncomfortable glee from misery vibe off this movie, similar to the Darwin Awards.

Poor kids get their own POS cars sometimes. She had a job, probably just to cover gas. I went to school with friends who all drove their own car, but all qualified for college aid.

Thank you, this is the kind of post Jezebel is designed for.

My husband went out of town for the week so I went on lady movie bender and drank all his beer:

I’m just here to ask, “Did a twelve year old boy dress Jen?” I’m a big fan of Bobby Finger’s style of accurately quoting what you said out loud by yourself to a screen.

Don’t move in with a guy who won’t step up and propose unless you want to just live with a guy for a long time. There’s nothing about being roommates with somebody that will magically make them the one for you. P.S. Babies are over rated, a lot of great kids need adopting, parenting is way more than giving birth.

I just interviewed my dad about his time in the military during Vietnam. I recommend making a date to interview your parents, the holidays are too busy and fly by. Also want to interview my mom about early feminism and sexists of yore. I heard along time ago: record your parents’ laughter while you can, but that…

Thank you for this very important piece. I struggle with sending Jezebel links to my mom, because this is such a different form of feminism. This is the exact opposite of a sit-in or marching in the street and is very much needed.

Tom Petty is my ultimate favorite, this is hard. The first song I played for my daughter in utero was “Here Comes My Girl” — it made her jump.

Connie Britton is a real SMILF. My husband got to talk to her while the kids played at the park. I missed it, but he kept cool and reports her hair is resplendent in person. (We’ve been geeking out since Friday Night Lights.)

My husband cracked me up post-delivery by reaction to all the Similac packages, calling them “Big Formula”.

If you have been trying to talk your gen x husband and his friends to stop knocking up you and your friends, then you would not be making fun of this. I realize the article is redic but so is talking men into vasectomies. Also tubals are hardly more invasive anymore, with laproscopy. Getting religious hospitals to…

I adopted these babies this week, it was a lot of work but worth it to raise them from babies. My husband is watching The Godfather because he says it’s American?

I know mayors rarely become American presidents, buuut Eric Garcetti would be America’s Phil Dunphy Dad.

My grandma gave me very good marriage advice: Make sure you can put up with his annoying little habits now, because they will only amplify with time (and I would add they amplify during times of duress, like the sleep deprivation babies bring). So try to imagine him annoying you at breakfast when you are 60 year old…

Yes Boden has replaced my old American go-to brands. Practical clothes for work and parties and still some “for riding on a Vespa in Capri this summer” fantasy clothes.
