I'm 30 weeks pregnant and recently had a co-worker (who is the same type of person as Jensy is) ask me about my birth plan. My response:

Thank you. I've always been afraid of having a kid and losing a personality. I think I'd want to be a dad with boobs who had a baby instead of "mom"(tm).

I think that if I should ever have a child, I want the same attitude as you: the kid is a priority, but at the same time, I don't get why people make it seem like it is the most necessary of requirements to be a good parent. Like... Life is not, or should not be determined and defined by before and after having…

I am a woman. I have a 9 y/o. I did not turn into a completely different person the minute he was born. There is hope for you too!

From one preggo to another, Congrats and Good Luck!

You have the attitude I want to have should I ever become a dad. I hate, hate, hate people who stop being themselves when they become parents, and honestly, I think they do their kids a disservice. The best parents I know are the ones who haven't really changed (of course, they're busier and less free for nights out,…

I'm with you, Kelly. It fits her like a fucking dream and also makes it look like she was down to just grab Grandma's damask tablecloth, tie it on and shout, "LET'S DO THIS, MOTHERFUCKERS"

What's hilarious is that even if she wants to think of it as "manners," she is being ridiculous by saying that schools DEF SHOULD NOT TEACH THAT ever. Like, other than the ABCs, WTF is kindergarten for if not to get kids used to interacting with other people in a respectful, somewhat socially acceptable way? These…

I use the J. Crew catalogue as a style guide at this point, without buying many products. I love the way Lyons and her minions put things together, but the quality of J. Crew clothes has gone down SO much over the years that I can't justify buying it. Most of it is basic shapes and colors with one piece of flair or an…

So much this. I don't buy anything full price at J Crew, not because I'm a cheapskate, but because I just don't think the quality warrants the price point. They do have good sales, though ...

For real. The prices are also going up and up but the quality isn't. And that's the biggest problem. I have no problem plunking down some cash for something that I can wear for a long time, but J.Crew clothing doesn't stand up as much as used to.

Edit: never mind. Just repeating what others have said. Still, re spoilers etiquette, I don't think it's your readers who need to "catch the fuck up".

*I'll* be the OMG SPOILERS person:

At first, I was bummed this is a "thing" now since I've wanted a short wedding dress since like 10 years ago. But maybe this is good? When I do married I'll have more options? We shall see...

I that hear if you chant "feminism" in a bathroom mirror five times the ghost of Andrea Dworkin will appear and destroy your entire pornography collection.

"Some people can understand this, while others can't. You cannot explain this to feminists because they do not accept the concept of motherhood."

FINALLY.

True. BUT, I will say that a female Hollywood star making less money than a male Hollywood star is a different type of institutionalized sexism than the average woman working for less than her male counterpart. The former, from what I gather, is typically caused by the misguided belief that the public isn't interested…

came here just to say that! "cue the.." and everything.

My favorite quote from the Cosmo article is the woman who had two daughters —one of whom was in high school!— who became pregnant out of wedlock.

Then, of course, this: "I taught my daughters abstinence. It doesn't mean I've been successful with my first two, but I have three more to go. You hold your breath."
