Indeed, I do! I appreciate all of the work she does to compile these things b/c I can’t stomach the blogs/message boards long enough to find those gems!

When women start doing that to me, and hit them with the “ehn, mine’s a little on the slow side, but he’s sweet and happy, but I drank like a fish through most of my pregnancy, so [shrug!]”

Smug mommery, now with sponsors! Yuck. Glad I pushed a kid out before all these modern mommy blogs were conceived. I just had iVillage and LIKED it. Actually, I used the firm conviction I would do everything opposite to how I had been raised, and I referred to the Dr Spock book and my mother in law for health info.…

Ok- super props to the woman that said she loves sponcon and it tells her what to buy. Either she is a marketer for the blog, or the person I never though existed.

but in this instance i am SO embarrassed i took the time to respond to you… instead of taking the time to virtually hug all the happy lovers who follow me. That is my only regret.

Welcome to the world of the sanctimommy. Folks like myself who are currently in the baby-making phase of their lives, are far too familiar with this tripe. The ads, the sanctimonious responses to the blogger and to other commenters make mommy blogs even less appealing than they are on their face. I don’t know anyone…

i wish they had stopped after 1 season. there. i said it. come at me.

I see it as the disconnect so many moms have that borders on postpartum depression when they can’t execute something that seems biologically innate. I’ve seen this struggle, and the inevitable disconnect and feelings that “my baby hates me” occur with a flip of a switch. And we say fed is best, but that doesn’t always…

I agree. It makes a person feel helpless, as if caught in a wave that will just heave us of the edge of the earth (the Trump earth is flat). I will also admit to stocking up on water and canned food, not psycho prepping or anything, but just in case. Where I live we should do it for weather emergencies anyway, which…

I feel like the constant deluge of bullshit mandates that I manage my outrage. It’s so much and it is constant. I almost have to pick and choose where to invest my outrage any given day. “Today am I mad about an inevitable war or should I rage about women’s rights?” “Do I get pissed today only to put it aside tomorrow…

I’mthinking in the insufferable category you have us all beat in the terrible person category. So insufferable I wonder if you are an MRA troll.

What the fuck? No. That is like saying if woman A slept with woman B who was trans but before she had transitioned in any way, or even publicly identified that way, then woman A has slept with a woman even though at that time woman B was biologically and publicly identifying as a man. Circumcision done to you as a…

A similar premise was done successfully by Almodovar a few years ago, with Antonio Banderas as the surgeon...

Except you know, elected politicians trying to vilify me and make it okay to hate me... It’s a little more than just “what other people think”.

I’d be curious to hear the author’s take on Pedro Almodóvar’s “The Skin I Live In.”

JBH (native Oregonian), their donuts are sugar flavored flour blobs fed almost exclusively to tourists. The sell donuts so people can take an instagram pic, not because they taste particularly good.

Full disclosure to what she’s referring to, my husband works for Jet who is owned by Walmart. If you didn’t get it from everything I’ve already said, where I’m from it would be pretty hard to avoid working for Walmart, but to answer your question... I’m mad because my whole life I’ve lived where all there are these…

Fellow poor/rural kid here. I lived in a microscopic town in Indiana and this is absolutely where I had to buy clothes/food/everything else. Even when I moved to DE, it was still the primary option, as I lived in a really rural part. When I moved to a city to do grad work, I was surprised by all the elitist snobbery…

Oh oh they just wanted to keep their livelihoods?! They’ll do anything to put food on the table? Really? Why don’t they just work harder and pull themselves up by their bootstraps then? No one owes them anything right? That’s what they tell all the other colors of poors! The hypocrisy is astonishing. Guess it’s easier…

I think that making excuses for the racist Trump supporters needs to stop.
