I feel like everyone who opposes vaccines as unnecessary and not at all life saving...should participate in a family swap, in which their vaccine-and-science refusing asses would be shipped to a third world country without easy access to vaccines. And a family from said country, who likely desperately wants access to…

Yeah, we were cool. She was an awesome nurse.

L&d nurses are angelic creatures of light.

That’s a great story! (my nurse was just joking though).

Oh yeah. It took 6 tries to get my epidural in, so everything after that was like a goddamn walk in the park.

Nah, we were in a good place.

My joking nurse was awesome! I loved her. We spent all day together. She looked at my vagina a bunch of times and cleaned up my birthing table poop.

I just kept wanting to poop. They were like, that’s not poop, that’s a baby.

I know. It was a joke on the nurse’s part. I found it amusing.

Congratulations :)

When I was in labor, my nurse told me to try to hold it in, because she hadn’t “caught” in years, and my doctor was in a C-Section. But she was joking. I can’t fathom why anyone would do this.

I tend to be the voice that constantly says “well, how can working parents attend/help/volunteer.” I think it makes a difference when there’s someone speaking for us.

The list of things my kids would never do from before I had them was extensive. That list is no longer relevant.

There are bad parents out there, I just don't think one can judge someone's entire parenthood on one incident.

Listen, if you want to judge it, that’s your business. It just doesn’t make me want to spring for CPS, because almost all parents have done something really fucking stupid at some point or another. If there’s a pattern of neglect, it is obviously very serious. But one shitty hangover decision doesn’t inherently make…

Shit happens. Parenting is enough of a challenge without the constant judgement from other people. The judgment just adds an added difficulty level. You have to just laugh at it, or you'll go crazy.

Yes

I had a really bad hangover a few weeks ago. My kids had friends who had spent the night. I had been out with said friend’s parents, who were also probably nursing really shitty hangovers. All 4 of them woke me up at 6 AM (my drunk ass fell asleep at 3). I lost the toss, so I turned the TV on, put a blanket over my…

I get to see both sides of the coin, both having work responsibilities, but also having the ability to be more involved than most working parents out there. I try to be a bridge between the two groups, because on the one hand, the super volunteers really do an incredible job, and spend a great deal of time making the…

I have a very flexible job, so I am able to volunteer for school things more than a lot of working moms I know. There is definitely a vast divide. At least our PTA meetings are in the evenings -I know lot of PTAS who have meetings in the middle of the school day. What working parent can make that?!
