Ooh or when she told 12 year old me I had childbearing hips. Or when I hit puberty and grew size D boobs and she started calling me Chesty Morgan.....who is apparently a stripper. I have so many things for this!

Oh, and she is always staring at my teeth and pointing out their flaws. My eyes are up here, Mom.

Back-handed compliment after I lost weight: “Now that you aren’t fat, I got you this dress.” Now that I’ve put weight back on she gives me the once-over and asks if I am pregnant. Ugh, Mom.

Just a quick comment on the second half of your reply. I think this ties back to the explanation in the article about old school feminists eschewing gender norms. I have been pressured my whole life to have kids. By family, friends, the media etc. My natural reaction is to do the exact opposite. We are told every day…

I am the complete opposite. Being on the pill made me horny all the time and increased lubrication. I have been off the pill for three months and I have to struggle to get excited now, and need help in the lube department. Can’t wait to go back on...

Not cool pope. Fast-talking PR pope. Don’t trust him.

Dude, he’s Beast in the new X-Men movies, amazing in the new Mad Max, and was an awesome zombie Romeo in Warm Bodies....I had no idea he was dating Jennifer Lawrence at some point, but I guess it makes sense since she worked with him in X-Men First Class. He’s a lot more than just some dude who dated her...

Yeah, I am the higher earner in my family, but we just scrape by. We will be better once hubby gets a new job (he is almost done college), so are happy I didn’t get knocked up this year.

Definitely, but it only helps the upper middle class...I can’t afford to take it.

We only get 55% of our wages from EI on mat leav in Canada. My family can’t function on 55%. My employer tops it up to 75%, but we still can’t function on that. It’s not all that great...

My office is ridiculously cold (like 3 sweaters, a snuggie and gloves cold), but it’s 75% women. It’s the menopausal women who keep demanding they crank the AC :(

Wait...since when is mid thirties ‘middle aged’?

Mine did this too! He called it a tax...

We are considering creating a new combo name once we have kids. Not hyphenating, but making a new name out of letters from both our names.

Totally agree with you, but nitpicking one thing -there is no such thing as reverse racism. It’s racism, regardless of who is doing the mistreating and who is being mistreated. That being said, her lawsuit was a crock of shit because she didn’t experience racism.

Dude....the degrassi reboot made it 14 seasons? They forced us to watch the original when I was a kid in the ‘90s....I remember when they announced they were starting it up again....I figured they’d cancelled it after Drake stopped calling himself Aubrey and left lol...

Whoa whoa there....i’m a Canadian! Don’t lump us in with people who you consider the “Florida of the North” please lol. Don’t judge us by the crappy tv show stereotypes...

Awwww! He was an awesome guy...chatted with me for a bit. I am a huge Xena fan too, and I swoon every time I see my signed Joxer pic.

He is, isn’t he? We love the guy.

A little...we save all our travel money for it. Last year we went big.
