Congratulations, Mama! Luckily, there is so much support I've found in online groups and in real life (a little harder haha). You got this.

Hell to the yes on this! On the plus side, everything that came back to me is REAL. My true talents, a few great friendships, my relationship with my husband, my flaws - these I own.

My toddler calls them spider bats - she thinks they're cute but they completely repulse me. I can't even look at pictures of them without getting freaked out.

Facials are an amazing non-sexual way to feel intimate with a stranger: the aesthetician’s touch used to make me feel loved at some of my loneliest points. Same with massage. What worked for me in my 20s is not the same 15 years later - hormones are one helluva drug. Except Retinol: if you aren't allergic, it's…

It's illegal in Colorado - look up Masterpiece Cake Shop ruling. If you have a business license, you must follow the rules if you want to keep that privilege. If I get speeding tickets constantly, I'm bound to lose my access to legally drive, right?

It tastes pretty amazing, honestly. It's worth a try.

So, you are referring to author's mom? Do you know her? See why I'm confused?

Also, that is not the only Leia that Lego produces. Also clothed!

Haha! Reminiscent of Teeth, eh?

Please don't assume your upbringing is the norm.

This is why I'm fat.

And also, why don't we start putting mothers and babies on the list of important parts of society? People love to blame parents and teachers for every social ill, but our society makes it very difficult to ever feel like you can do a complete and good job when it comes to children. Do you realize that babies love to…

Which is really too much to ask the internet for, haha...now that I think about it. Troll on, friend. :-)

Next comment, preferably from someone who comments from a point of view shaped by experience.

Are you breast feeding? Are you a mom? I had to delay my jury duty because it landed on my due date. I had to delay again because my child was sick and day centers do not accept sick children. They wouldn't even accept that my child doesn't take a bottle - what use does a bf baby have for a fake nipple? I go again in…

I never go anywhere without my baby for more than 2 hours. It affects my milk supply, it makes her day horrid and it can cause mastitis and plugged ducts. It's a health issue.

Clearly you have no experience to even speak from right now. Next!

The "complete lack of self-awareness" and "reckless entitlement" evil, me thinks.

Right? This cat no longer has to prostitute itself on its three remaining legs for snacks and pets! I always get sleeved when people attribute human emotions and prejudices to animals. This cat has had an wonderful city life.
