While I can see the the point of what if the kids read it, I think that once again diminishes mothers and the myriad of different experiences they go through. Yes, it will suck for the kid to read it and probably sting a bit, but why does that trump what the mother is going through? Why are mothers always last on the…

Same here​! Well 43 when the younger one is in college. Parenting is easier now, but I still wonder if I’m really cut out for it. It’s only been in the last 2 years that I miss my kids when they’re with their dad. People used to give me such horror stricken looks over that one.

I feel ya. Flexeril is awesome, I’ve thrown my back out a couple times and it coincided with my period once, so much easier. I see my doc on Monday and I’m gonna push for it. I’ve got 2 kids, a job and am a grad student...I don’t have time for cramps.

Glad I’m not the only one with otc issues. My current doses of ibuprofen and aleve to get any relief are 800-1000mg and 600 mg respectively every 6 hours. Smh. If they would just give me a mild muscle relaxer, I could cope better.

L-Theanine and chia seeds are great too. Both have helped me a good bit.

tl;dr=at least you admitted you’re an idiot upfront

...as he watches the game from his couch. I think we know who the real bitch is.

When I was pregnant both times, I clung to caffeine as my life raft (especially the 2nd one since I had an infant to care for, yeah my kids are 11.5 months apart). I lived off of subway sandwiches during my first trimester (horrible nausea, couldn’t stand the smell of food cooking). I had 1/2 a glass of wine a night…

So the ex I thought was a psychopath actually isn’t and the other one is.....INTERESTING!

Damn, you beat me to it!

That doesn’t change the fact that it’s a choice she never should have been in the position to make.

You’re kidding with this right?

I agree with you 100%. It’s not easy, but worth it. Took my ex and I 3 years to get to the point where it wasn’t super stressful, but recently we had a birthday party for our son. Him, his new wife, me and my boyfriend plus some other family and all actually had fun!

15. Get it yourself.

Kids have a knack for seeing the truth of things :)

It’s just a shame more parents can’t work together and get along for the kids’ sake. It’s no by no means easy, but it’s for the best. My ex was very angry that i wanted a divorce and I took a lot of crap in order to maintain civility, but we’re able to work together now to raise our 2 kids. And in doing so we keep the…

Sadly sometimes the opposite is true. There was 1 woman in my practice and when I was pregnant with my 2nd, towards the end I knew something was wrong. She blew me off as “crazy pregnant lady”. Had she listened to me, my son would not have had to spend his first 10 days in a hospital, hooked up to an iv getting hard…

Given the grand platform media provides celebrities to espouse their views and the blind adulation the public has for them, I think celebrities should have to back up all their big issue opinions with fact.

Mostly scientologists......big shock

I’m right there with you!
