Do abusive mothers usually take their children and children's spouses on vacation?

Before I had insurance through my job, Planned Parenthoood was pretty much the only medical care I could afford.

I worked down the street from a planned parenthood in a very poor part of town. Not long after the clinic opened, a fake 'planned pregnancy health clinic' opened next door to us.

I get random 'compliments' quite a bit, and it always blows my husband's mind that I don't tell people off or ignore them.

My parents paid to have a professional teach us how to apply and figure out our makeup (colors, products, etc). I don't think it was that weird, especially considering my fondness for bright colors.

Good for the restaurant. They should kick her out.

I have polled all of my friends with kids (over the last few years), and each agrees that while they would be put out if a restaurant didn't have a changing table, they would never change the diaper in a dining area.

It might be harsh, but it's not untrue.

I think tailors are an excellent and under utilized tool for plus size women. My best friend is very heavy, but people never 'notice' because she has all of her clothing tailored to fit her body type. She is constantly complimented by *straight* size shoppers and always looks very fashionable.

It's only natural that some men would have trouble understanding that feminism is not about them (or hating them). It's narcissism, some people just can't fathom that the world doesn't revolve around them, or their genitals.

It's always about balls isn't it?

Animals are territorial, I completely agree. Most instances where an animal reacts badly to a child or new pet is when the animal is not socialized to the new family member. Granted this is not always the case, I'm sure some pets are just aggressive.

I have a friend with a 13 year old cat. Great cat, sweet, loving, gentle, and when I complimented her on how well the cat adjusted to their baby she asked if 'I wanted to keep her'. I couldn't tell if she was joking about the baby or the cat.

I would have been tempted to ditch the useless husband. If he can't help with a litterbox I doubt he will help with diapers.

I mentioned the cat giveaway a few days ago, and no one remembered it. I've always had an issue with getting rid of pets, especially older animals. I always considered myself a cat lady until I met my husband, he puts my cat love to shame. Our one cat household has grown to 3 cats and various strays and fosters.

Does your cat happen to know my husband? He carries the cat around the house when my cat wants to catch a bug but is too fat and lazy to jump and run...the thrill of the hunt is so majestic when a 6'2 240lb man runs full speed around the house lifting a cat toward the ceiling.

I was going to inquire if it was a suppressing bear hug or 'loving' Incredible Hulk hug. The headline gave me a weird impression.

I had the same fears, and yes, you can (sadly) hear some music.

I love your name. I tried to figure out a clever way to usurp Moltov Cocktease...but I could not.

I probably can't compete with most of these stories but I think I have a pretty skeevy roommate tale...
