He's been cuddling up to me all day! Unfortunately, he was also running around like crazy and biting my face from 4am-6am. I'm hoping it's a kitten thing and he won't do that forever?

I ADOPTED A KITTEN THIS WEEK!!!! It's my first time having a cat! Yaaay!!!

I love that you include Roseanne in this mix. People don't put her in the same category with other great TV moms, but SHE was out there busting her ass in any demeaning job she could get, sometimes two at a time, to make ends meet. Living in a town that didn't offer their kids a lot of options, but clearly loved them…

So, some of you may have little bits of this already.

I tease him all the time (he's 10 now) about how he did all his trouble making before he was born. He really has been the easiest, sweetest, and just all around best kid in the world to be gifted with.

I went to all those hippy classes to and when it came time for my second all that went out the window. My little dude was a flipper, 40 weeks pregnant and he kept flipping, head up, head sideways, head down, head back up. So we had to schedule a c-section because he was sideways, which makes even a breech birth…

Clair Huxtable, Harriet Winslow, and Roseanne Connor raised me when my mother decided she had better things to do. I owe them a lot.

Clair Huxtable is why I'm a lawyer. I wanted to be her. I even moved to NYC. She was my childhood hero!

For my second kid's birth, my epidural failed. Yep, apparently this is a thing that can happen. I had been in labor for about 12 hours and was exhausted. I got it just as things were getting intense, and was fine for about an hour. Then all of a sudden the pain came back full force, just as I was transitioning - the…

my birth was fine. Can we talk the first post partum poop, which was far more terrifying than giving birth?

I mentioned some of this on another article recently. And this is really more of a full scale pregnancy horror, story, but here goes. So, it took me 3 years to get pregnant with my son. That included the indignity of a plethora of infertility tests and treatments. I ended up getting pregnant while we were on a short…

I don't know if this is a horror story, but it's definitely the most embarrassing part.

So first: I don't think labor was a nightmare. I had a natural birth at a freestanding birth center. I did hypnosis. I had a doula who did all kinds of weird shit to get me through. I got to labor in a jacuzzi. It worked for me and…

Since this literally just happened to me and I'm recovering from a c-section after being discharged yesterday, I'm sort of vicariously excited to see what other people went through.

Man, people are already taking this thread SUPER seriously and negatively. To all I say: chillax. This thread is not meant to stop women from becoming mothers. If you really want to be a mother, nothing in this thread will stop you, and if it does, then you really didn't want to be a mother.

I had a really problematic pregnancy. When I delivered, I tore. Forward. This is apparently kind of rare, but I split up the middle toward my clitoris. I cannot explain how painful that was.

So I went to one of those super hippy birth classes (for TEN weeks) and they were against everything that doctors normally advise. This would include not eating a lot as you're going into labor, or the day you're to be induced (of course they were against that as well). I ended up being induced at 42 weeks because…

My husband and I have, during arguments, yelled at the other versions of, "I hope the next shit you take is unsatisfying! I hope you work really hard, and it's tiny! And I hope you don't realize there's no toilet paper and you don't realize until after so you have to apologize to me so I will bring you another roll!"

I always say that the absolute BEST things in life involve things coming into or going out of your body. See: pooing.

Am I the only one who has ever had one of those really good poops and then fought the urge to tell someone about it?
