One thing I've learned is that you don't get anywhere by staying in one place. My successful SILs are ALWAYS exploring their options and have no sense of shame or loyalty to their employers. Look out for Number One. They keep their feelers out for new leads, keep their interview skills sharp, and enjoy a sense of…

Sorry to say there are some big red flags here. Not mentioning his kids when you MET is one. Having kids with two different women by age 30 is another in my book, but others may disagree. And if those two things weren't a factor, I'd brush off the PTSD and say it may be worth it to continue. But in combination with…

Jezebel is the Altar of Beyonce and there's no way the laydeez here are going to think critically about a reference to domestic violence. She could come right out and tell the feminist empowered women here that a man beating a woman is okay and they'd just lap it up like the brainwashed sheep they are. Look at all the…

The adoption "snark" is a response to the usual "Why do you need to replicate your DNA, anyway? You're not that special. Just adopt" shit that comes up everytime there's an article remotely related to pregnancy or parenting.

That's disgusting.

She was corrupted by the money.

"Mama"?

I only came back here to see if anyone responded to my similar comment. (Nope)

Yeah, because once you've been impregnated, you can never be sexy or sexual again. Pregnant women are gross and should never show their gross bellies, especially in some sort of sexual context.

I know a woman who had a photo of her kid on her dating profiles. Yes, you have to let people know you HAVE a kid, because it's a deal breaker for some people, but I think it's stupid to put his photo out there.

Why did she have her class photo on FB, though?
