Askamanger is amazing! I also pivoted out of the field I was working in for about 10 years. It was making me miserable so I went back to school. I’m hugely in debt but I genuinely like my job now. I can’t recommend changing fields more.

Oh my goshhh I am sooo looking forward to real smiles!! Kenderín is now smiling, at least, and at people, but they are fleeting and semi-random.

HE’S SO TAKEN WITH HER!! And he’s like, typical gruff old man about emotions and shit. But he lights up when he sees her, and he has her photo up in his hospital room.

Do y’all remember the very short-lived cartoon they warranted which was severely lacking in claymation raisins?

If a judge rules the credit is shared, does that make them each 50% that bitch?

Kender, I was thinking about you last week and wondering on sns if you’d had your little one. I’ve been looking out for you tonight. I’m so happy she’s here, I’ve read everything you have posted all the way through and I just want to say congratulations Kender, welcome to sns mini Kender, I for one am so looking…

Unpopular opinion-breastfeeding low key sucks. At least for me it did. I found it helped a lot to use a nipple shield, I think mine were medela you can buy them on Amazon etc. It was basically the only way he would nurse until he was older.

My first kid didn’t want to do anything with my nipples, so bottles for her, I breastfed the second one until I was four months pregnant with the third one, never had a problem, I think she was almost two years old when I stopped, and the third one used to but me so hard, it was a horrible pain, you feel in even in…

Im super late to this game, but I’m pumping as I read this now and my nipples have gone from pain to numbness, which is the only reason I am still pumping right now. We are expecting a baby via surrogate in 5 weeks (5!) and I’m trying to induce lactation. It’s working! Kinda! We will see how (or if) this goes with an…

Hi Copper! Yes that sounds like what it could be!! I called a midwife last night (my maternity hospital has a 24/7 line for questions/worries which is amazing) and she suggested paracetamol (aka acetaminophen) and a heat pack, and they helped and I got a better night’s sleep than I have been getting. “Tired and in…

Seconding nipple shields. They were the only reason I was able to breastfeed. But again, the important thing is your mental health. Next time your MIL says that, just tell her the subject is closed. Don’t let her even get started. Feel free to walk away when she starts after that.

…….lol.....methinks I like you.....thank Gawd I’m a gay dude and will NEVER deal with mothers-in-law nor kids, but something tells me that lady’s knobs need to be twisted a few times......

OMG, this is the most amusing comment I’ve read all night!

Ughhhh...Congrats on your new baby. I’m sure you’ve already tried ALLL the things re: breastfeeding, but I found that nipple shields were a game changer for me. They trained my son to latch better and protected my nipples from being mauled for the first few weeks and holy shit that was necessary. That said, if pumping…

As a mother via adoption, a fed baby is a happy baby. It’s far easier for mum and dad to bond with a happy baby with a full tum, doesn’t matter if it’s boob or bottle. MIL can fuck all the way off. Props to your husband for stepping up and not leaving this conversation all on you (even though it sounds like MIL is…

Agreed. Free Kender!

“I'm cool as a cucumber" was Stanford's next choice

I have been enjoying it immensely every time it shows up. 

“Of the Target Mossimos” is my favorite new Jezebel Thing. I hope it never goes away.
