I got into a discussion about this case on FB today. Someone wanted to talk about how we raise our boys, and how need to teach them how to deal with their emotions.

I’m from the American Midwest (kcmo represent!) and in addition to loving ranch dressing we instinctively say ‘uhp,’ ‘hup’ or ‘ope’ anytime we get too physically close to another human. Especially in grocery stores or elevators. God help me, we just bounce off of each other making this ridiculous noise en mass sometime…

Keep breathing. Keep doing your self care. Don’t take your eyes off your goal.

So this is maybe kind of weird but I realize I’m getting out of a high functioning depression (which started when fucking One Direction of all things helped me with my driving anxiety) I’ve lost a lot of weight in a healthy way (not talking to food about my problems - who knew?) So i’m out of this funk and then got…

It was a small kindness, but my daughter had her first day at preschool this week. When she went to enter the room she turned around and took the hand of a little boy and said “come on” and led him in. It warmed my heart and made me hope for her to be forever that kind. 

Okay I already did a thread so sorry if I’m breaking the rules but I’m watching the technical Emmys and don’t want to pollute the makeup talk with this.

My nephew told me that he saw a girl being teased about her hair at school so he told her jokes to help her cheer up.

I refused to let my four year old watch any more TV today and he told me to go to jail. Kids are a trip. Haha

My three and a half year old alternately tells me I’m her favorite mommy ever (pretty sure she’s never had another one lol) and “go away and leave me alone forever” as she slams the door on me. You are not alone- small children are adorable, amazing, and insane jerks. 

I’m not dead! But I couldn’t log in for what seems like months. Unfortunately baby is two and a half now and becoming a more recognizable little person, so probably no more photos. Earlier today she told me “no mommy. Get away from me. Go upstairs and go to sleep”. So that’s fun.

About a year ago, I started posting on here about how I was dissatisfied with my sex life with my husband. With support from this community, I started seeking therapy and came to realize that my dissatisfaction with my sex life was an indicator of the emotional abuse that I was experiencing. I left my husband in…

So, I did a two week training class a few weeks ago and I’m still reeling from it. I work in law enforcement (I’m an analyst) and I completed a family and sexual violence investigations course. I had a hotel on the beach and essentially a vacation paid for by work. However, the class made me realize some things about…

Finally came to a point this week where I ran out of money paying our rent and our bills, and struggled mightily each day for train fare for work. Should be okay now, but this is exactly what I thought would happen. Boyfriend is working a few days a week but no paychecks yet, and all his Zumba and drag money went to…

I only came across The Toast a few months before the end, and I deeply regret all the years it couldve been part of my life.

Diane Feisntein botched this. She knew this nomination was on a ridiculous fast track and she sat on this, making it clear she wanted to focus on the law, not on his personal issues. And now she comes with a last minute letter? Christ!! What. the fuck? Dems, get your shit together.

My son proudly told me once, “Mommy, you wear clothes other people think of as costumes!”

Excuse you I have always been a fashion ICON

Remember the late 90s blonde highlights?

Oh, so many! An incomplete list:

Lol! Thanks very much & I’d like to let everyone know that I googled “Doogie.” He didn’t enter the family business. In fact, he actually does something that makes the world better. He still looks like Doogie.
