I’m not loving this particular dress but I’m happy to see any trend that I can wear a bra with!

I am tall and, currently anyway, thin (due to an exclusion diet so this probably won’t last). Tried a dress like this on recently and it still made me look and feel like a sister wife.

Well then they should start right now

I’ve literally avoided going into the city centre with my baby because I can’t bear the idea of using the trams or the big metro train stations where we do have lifts but it’s summer here and everything constantly breaks.

The extent of misogyny and racism in this world shouldn’t surprise me but it still does somehow.

Rent is goddamn awful and it’s absolutely everywhere.

Yes! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m an Australian who was recently prescribed Amoxicillin and it cost me about 5 Australian dollars (so, 3ish usd).

I’ve had to give up all dairy recently and without sounding dramatic, I am in state of mourning over cheese. I spend my days dreaming of it. I would give almost anything even to be able to have a slice of cheep American cheese.

I’ve been spending a fair bit of my time in hospitals recently (not for anything too serious) and the amount of hospital pharmacies that sell vaginal ‘freshness’ products is mind blowing. Vaginas shouldn’t smell like peaches and I think it’s super negligent of hospitals to suggest they should.

I mean, that hair is not good or real looking but at least it looks like it is actually some sort of substance that is really touching his head.

Not me, but my brother.

I’m so confused right now! You don’t eat basil leaves??? Is this an American thing?  What about pesto? I could go on and on!

The other thing is, if there’s an omniscient God, surely those foetuses/babies would then be with God? In which case, they’d be in the best place.

Isn’t there something in the bible which says you shouldn’t make a show of your religion/prayers?

Since my kid was born, my mother has on multiple occasions sent me, unprompted, the clip of Jennifer Garner reading ‘Go the fuck to sleep’. Always accompanied by a whole bunch of those laugh crying emojis. Often sent at 6am, making it one of her first thoughts for the day. 

I’m so glad your little guy/gal is doing well! But it sucks so much that you have to worry about costs as well as health.

Same! I had a condition that made it harder to feel the baby so every couple of weeks I wound up in emergency. They would monitor me for hours and send me on my way and it didn’t cost a cent (except, yes, my taxes- but this is the kind of thing taxes should go to).

Ugh, my brother does stuff like this all the time. Before I had kids, my mom would tell me when complained that I’d do it too when I had kids. Well, guess what? It’s been 3 months since bubs was of and NOPE! unless you are my child’s dr, I will not make you hear that crap. 

My local primary school (sadly in a low vaccination rate area) has had to shit several times due to various epidemics. The govt recently changed the law so that you have to be vaccinated to go to school. A whole bunch of people complained that it violated a child’s right to learn. As a teacher, though, my first…

I think a lot of people forget the ongoing effects of this disease. My parents grew up before the vaccine and both have serious diseases caused by measles scarring- my dad is down to 50% lung function despite never smoking and my mom almost went blind because she had scarring on her retinas. Both of these issues only…
