The comments on the Facebook announcement are insane. All these Trump fans are announcing that they’re boycotting TCM because they’re going to “push liberal propaganda.” There are even people calling for a quota system. On a movie channel.

Your life sounds incredibly interesting.

Awesome, thanks! I’ll look into if they have a dairy free brand.

Believe me, I get it. My family comes from northern England where Thatcher’s solution to coal mines shutting down was to blame the unions. Parts still haven’t recovered because there was never any retraining scheme to help them once their jobs were gone. But I still can’t believe that people actually expected Trump to…

It’s funny, my husband’s whole family are right wing conservatives. They don’t like immigrants (except his uncle’s wife but “she came in the right way” by applying for political asylum in a country that it really shouldn’t apply to) or people who use benefits (except his cousin who is on food stamps, they feel like…

I’m fascinated by the “I did it for the economy” argument. Like incredibly low unemployment rates and rapid job growth wasn’t enough for you? The hell else did these people expect?

Every time I see someone breastfeed with a nipple shield, I’m impressed with their dedication. I would have quit after a few weeks if I had to put on the shield every single time.

You’re a great parent. My daughter is a pretty good sleeper but I do miss sleeping through the night. I can’t imagine not going to her when she cries though. The look on her face when I pick her up like I’ve just saved the day is the best feeling in the world.

True. I’m jealous that you’re no longer breastfeeding. Go have that wine and celebrate!

This is my worst nightmare. You’re a good person for not running from your house every night.

All of my friends who read Jez are going to think you’re me. I can relate on the mom, husband and baby levels. Good luck to you, we all need it.

I was terrified of giving birth. I ended up with a C section and it really wasn’t that bad. I felt back to normal like 3-4 weeks after. I had laparoscopic surgery several years ago and had basically the same recovery time. Just take the drugs is my advice.

The worst is when people refer to a man taking care of his kids as “babysitting.” No, it’s a man being a fucking parent.

I thought Jimmy Gulzar’s weird behavior and Eddie Murphy being a total douche were bad. This is so much worse. Poor Mel.

Mel’s mum and sister were always attacking Stephen (rightly so it seems). I don’t think it’s a coincidence that she filed for divorce after spending more time with her family while her dad was dying.

That’s really endearing. My mom enjoys John Oliver. Do you think it’s the easy distraction of the comedy that helps with the sun downing? My mom doesn’t sundown too badly (she’s at the point in her dementia where she sleeps all day and all night now), but I’d rather watch comedy than the crappy reality tv we watch now.

Really? My hospital was so uptight about any/all things (like the socks we wore), I can’t imagine them handing out bows. A junior nurse left an aspirator in my daughter’s bassinet and the nurse freaked out at her (and us for not removing it). Something about swaddled babies and suffocating. It was 2 am, I was tired.

I had a girl child and refused any and all bows. I’m betting the parents brought those in. The nurses on my mother/baby ward gave serious side eye to that kind of nonsense.

At least this time she’s not marrying them thinking their straight. That’s progress.

You’re probably right. I think the other problem was that their babies were all 2-3 months older than my daughter so they’d been hanging out for several months before I joined. It felt like high school when you’re the new kid and sit at a random table in the lunchroom.
