I’m seeing a lot of people say the dress code is basically “business casual.” A) What the hell children’s wear constitutes business casual, b) y’all know tight-fitting Lycra and spandex pants are sold as business clothing now, right, and c) still not acceptable to publicly humiliate a ten year old.

That too. I’m not even nearly ready for my next kid but also aware that I’m about to reach “advanced maternal age.” It changes a lot of decisions.

Good luck!!

The term is invented. I assure you, the feeling is real.

Seconded. The biological clock is very real for some women and it’s worth acknowledging. I hit 30 and suddenly very much wanted a baby, even though I hadn’t really wanted one before.

Also, men do get breast cancer. Some men do get mammograms. Misogyny kills everyone, it turns out.

The best thing about being an adult is being able to unabashedly love the things I secretly loved in my teens and early twenties. Now excuse me while I go sing every Celine song ever CAUSE I’M YOUR LAAAAAAADYYYYYYYYYY.

Is there a better time to read about the holocaust than when someone is on standby to hand you liquor?

I am going to watch the shit out of the first episode of this, and then cringe with secondhand embarrassment every time I see the title on my channel guide for the rest of my life.

Sneaking out sounds legitimately awful to me, because I would still be paying for it in guilt trips to this day. At least picky eating I feel like my mom wouldn’t bug me about all that much?

I took my kid to the playground the other day and a kid ran up to another and went, “HEY KID. Wanna be my best friend??”

Putting this gif on my resume. I’ll report back how it works out for me.
