Agreed! Plus, 18 months old is hardly a baby. That’s a toddler. It can certainly wait. I might get it if you are out with a newborn...both sides donned to chill.

And birthday mallomars!

I know! And you get it on both sides! I literally just got home from my ultrasound (we want to know, and the technician put an xx on one pic, so we figure it’s probably going to be labelled girl), but some people I work with are freaking out on both sides of the discussion. Half are all “TELL ME AS SOON AS YOU KNOW!!”…

This is a beautiful post. So much of today focuses on the good mothers, and I always feel so uncomfortable because mine isn’t. I haven’t managed to get free of her yet, so I struggle to find a card that wishes her a happy Mother’s Day without all the “you’re the best mom ever” bullshit. It is sad but comforting to…

Not sure that it counts as sneaking not to disclose personal information to customers. Personal information that has nothing to do with the service they are providing. If an accountant who does taxes for customers hires someone else to do their own taxes, do they have to tell their customers? No, because it isn’t…

Nooo! This story is too scary and upsetting. As someone who has rabbits and watched the 70s version as a kid, I find even thinking about it traumatic...

It doesn’t have to be by gender...we picked names we liked for a boy and a girl, and decided which sounded better with which last name. Due in Oct, so I don’t know which name it’ll be yet, but the girl name just happens to sound better with my last name, and the boy name has too many Cs in it to go with mine (last…

Agreed. I feel like it has to start somewhere, so even if I have “my dad’s last name” at least I got to make the choice and I choose to own the name I was given at birth. I kept mine when we married, and our first kid is due in October. We have decided the last name will depend on the first name. Some we like sound…

I also found it strange that everyone was gushing about it. I am allergic to it and love that it’s progressively being banned in public. It causes major breathing problems for a lot of people, and it adds literally no real value in the first place...

Good luck! We tried for 7 months and just got a positive 2 weeks ago, so I am “6 weeks pregnant”. It’s a roller-coaster feeling as you try. I finally stopped tracking my cycle (had an app) and stopped scheduling sex every other day, and just started doing it when the mood struck, and bingo. Now hoping it ‘sticks’.

Okay, ‘stuffed pizza crust’ is now my favourite way to describe being pregnant! I too am freshly knocked up, mind if I borrow this turn of urease when I break the news to my family? They’ll hate it :D

I think he was the character I loved to hate...maybe hate is too strong a word...loved to be annoyed by? Wouldn’t be GG without him...I loved seeing his cameo in Bunheads....and Gypsy’s and all the others.

She and Jackson were the best part! They were hilariously weird. Like the episode he slept with his cucumbers.

Who whoa, what’s with the Kirk hate?

I have a furbaby and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I care more about my bunny than I do most people i’ve met. I am terrified that I will love him more than future offspring, but I can guarantee I will never love him less than them. I will be devastated when he goes (have had him for 6 years, and they live…

I don’t think you need to be in Ireland, just Irish is fine. I am, and I am giving my offspring traditional Irish names. If it’s a boy his name will be Mahlon, after my granddad.

My cousin named her son Kale a decade ago.....my grandfather couldn't remember the name she picked, so called him Kohlrabi for the first few months. It amused me that my cousin picked a food name, because her name was Brie

Geez you’ve got a chip on your shoulder. Once again, I don’t have an objection to people encouraging people to have kids, it’s this nasty “there is something wrong with you if you don’t” bullshit I object to. There is nothing better about someone who chooses to have kids, any more than someone who doesn’t everyone…

You missed the point again. I don’t object to people procreating, or even the expectation that most will. It’s the cultural obsession with babies I object to. Not an obsession with having them, that would be fine, it’s the focus on THEM itself. Anne Geddes. Constant baby photo shoots of them that spawned calendars…

So just because something is necessary that means we have to worship it? Using a toilet is necessary for us to survive, but people don’t feel the need to get up in each other's business about it, or create a huge pressure-filled subculture about it....well, if they do they tend not to be encouraged by society. Having…
