A mother at my kids’ school was horrified that some parents were not aware of certain school functions happening, because “signs are near the office and by the classrooms!”

Seriously. Hangovers when you have young children are the absolute worst thing in the universe.

I bet talking to you is fun. That’s a lot of different language influences!

This is ridiculous. My children go to a language immersion school, and some of the teachers are not native speakers of the target language...but they are fluent in said language, as is the goddamn requirement.

I’m a life long Chargers fan, who also lives in Los Angeles and is a current season ticket holder. Last season, I drove 4+ hours every fucking home game to see this shit show of a team win two games, whilst playing in a stadium that is probably more dangerous than the Fukishima nuclear site.

She was always very into “nerd culture,” so that doesn’t surprise me. When I saw her there, she was working as a booth girl - it was probably right around the same time she was getting into the adult industry.

I wouldn’t call her a friend. I don’t want to misstate our relationship. I haven’t seen her or spoken to her in 10 years.

She was quite Smart, but also Insecure, and sometimes flaky (I was her supervisor, and she was often late or a no show). But generally engaging, and a friendly and caring person. I was both shocked at her adult career, but also not surprised somehow at the same time, however that works.

I used to work with her at a bookstore before she became an adult film actress. I followed her career, because obviously.

Yes, that would be horrifying.

My dog’s name is Starbuck 😂

Now she’s a mouthy 5 year old ;) But she still has the cheeks!

My second had a lot of hair, and it never fell out. She has more hair than any 5 year old I know now, and it’s impossible to keep tamed.

I am not married, but I do have two kids with my long time partner. I won’t change my name whether or not we get married. My children are named “First Name/Middle Name+My Last Name/His Last Name.” So I guess they have two middle names.

It was important to him that they have his last name, and I didn’t really have an…

This post comes at a time where I really needed to read this. I was at my daughters’ first softball practice last night, and the head of the organization was commenting on the equipment needed for the girls. One of the items mentioned was a face mask for when the girls are in the field. (At higher levels, this is…

This was quite beautiful and very honest. Thank you.

I learned something new today. I still can’t look at the word without having a conniption.

I cannot help but feel the intense need to add an a to Archeology. I realize it is an accepted spelling but I just can’t handle it.

I had mine in my doctor’s office. It was after normal hours.

Thank you for sharing this story. Mine is similar, except my IUD fell out without my knowledge, and my children were both under 2 years old. My doctor was supportive and helpful. I wish I had a similar experience from peers, though. I told a few friends, but the response was incredibly cold. I actually think I lost…
