As the parent of a child who NEVER wears pajama on “pajama day” but DID wear a dinosaur costume to the Christmas party - yeah, the other parents TOTALLY talked shit about the parents whose kid went as a hotdog.

For sure and it is so cool having both. My son was real quick at language (his arch-nemesis is silence), a complete mess at physical coordination, and awesomely terrible at lying as his emotions are right there for all to see. Our daughter came out chasing him (he is 5 years older) and even though she is still mostly…

Yep. If your toes aren’t broken/bleeding you’re doing it wrong.

When I was young I begged my mom to make me a snoopy costume ( think a couple of years running) man did I rake in the candy actually won a couple of costume contests. Hugs to all the awesome moms out there!

Little girls are AMAZING. And they never stop, really. If you just let them be what they want to be, they will just be AMAZING. My own little girl would only wear dresses from about 2 to 6, but ONLY with bike shorts or leggings because she was modest (somehow) and fierce and didn’t want to show her undies while GOING…

It’s a day in dance class (usually ballet) where the little kids dress up princess wear, usually Disney princess-inspired for fun and the cute pictures. But some kids aren’t into the princess thing so much and use the occasion to do something else like fair wee hot dog here (who’s going for unconventional princess…

Agreed. The snark didn’t bother me a bit because I dug being a puppy. She dug being a hot dog so any snark won’t matter to her.

“Princess Day” at dance class? My childhood ballet teacher would be horrified at the prospect of the children wearing anything but a leotard and pink tights. And the idea of her students having fun.

That may well be but the kid looks happy and that’s all that really matters.

Gonna be honest, I got A TON of snark for being a puppy on princess day. From other moms, one kid who was REALLY into the princess illusion, and an assistant instructor. The babysitter who brought me to class loved it though. I’m sure there was some snark. It didn’t bother me, but obviously I remember that ha.

Look, I would like to believe they’re being honest but I just can’t. I’m 95% sure that there was a ton of snark in that room when one kid showed up as a hot dog. Sure, when it started trending on Twitter, no mom wanted to look like a bitch so they made sure to post nice things, but I find it hard to believe that any…

Also it appears I have makeup swatches on my hand. Some things never change.

Awww so cute! Reminds me of a cooler version of myself, who went to Princess Day as...a puppy. Not as a fun a pic since you can only see one princess. Also mad turnout skills on that little Elsa-esque there.

...did you just call my beloved Mulan crap?

You hurting him does not justify him hurting you. Two wrongs don’t make a right. He needs to either forgive you or divorce you. Holding your affair over your head forever is unacceptable. <3

Oh girl, no! You don’t deserve that regardless of what you did. I had an ex that would hassle me for hooking up with someone when we were broken up (it had been 2 months!) and it was just ridiculous. He kept on putting it on me because he couldn’t handle how he felt about the situation (aka either you can get over it…

This!! My mother is a charming nice sweet animal rights save the planet type person who turns into an emotional and physically abusive person at the drop of a hat. To this day the sound of her yelling causes a visceral reaction.

My ex’s emotional abuse became extreme when I got pregnant - my life turned into a nightmare, and I truly feared for my life when I broke up with him, and again after our child was born and I didn’t just immediately hand the baby over to him as he demanded. There were nights I literally slept with a baseball bat under…

I did the same thing. It felt so bizarre, like I was living in a book or a movie. I never expected to be fleeing in the night, calling women’s shelters as I went.

Oh how I know all about that.
