It’s actually outrageous that they can make a lease change like that after she has already bought the apartment. I assume she should be grandfathered in (like people who already have dogs when the buildings change rules) — if you are a parent who travels for work, something like that would be a dictating factor in…

Because if they are enrolled in school near her home and have their social lives set up there, when the primary caregiver is away, young children may stay with non-parental adults (nannies, other family members) so that it doesn’t disrupt their routine or lives. Nothing would stop their father from visiting or staying…

They should do away with the idea of push presents and just hand out straight up medals. Everyone who delivered that day in the hospital gathers together and you get awards based on whose delivery was the worst. People who have it easy get participation ribbons. You get hte gold.

I would tell you not to be terrified but that would be pointless. I will say that (barring anything going awry) it’s awful and painful and gross — and then it’s over. Recovery sucks and your body definitely produces things you weren’t prepared for — but at least there’s a cute little creature curled up on your chest…

I’m intrigued by the fact that you have your phone on rotation lock.

How long did it take you to write that comment?

Not, it’s a boy — that was my point...

Kim and Kanye baby makes 4.

Thank you for your time. This has been a really eye opening exchange for me.

WHOA PUJA, WHOA. You would want to work at Deadspin?

If you weren’t at Jezebel, which GM blog would you most want to switch to?

No love for Saint West?

So they don’t die alone.

That is, I would say, the most minor issue with childbirth. It just seems like the worst. If you have the baby in a hospital, the doctor or nurse will discretely wipe your butthole every so often, removing the poop and tossing it in the trash. You don’t end up covered in it (or at least I didn’t and have never heard…

The grossest thing your body has ever done is eat a 1 lb bag of black twizzlers.

Before I had my first so many people would tell me “oh you’re just so happy to have the kid that you forget all the pain of childbirth and the gross body things that happen in aftermath.” Those people are full of shit. I have 3 kids and intimately remember the horror and misery that came with every single one of them.

Ohhh you’re probably right.

The miracle of life is a beautiful thing. The act of giving birth is fucking disgusting.

I respect that even though he’s a dude, Barry knew to use the universal gif for “PERIODS ARE THE WORST” as the lede image.

Given birth.
