Figure of authority? In what world?

Babies can be super loud when babbling too and it's going to be frustrating no matter what, but it doesn't mean you hate kids! People get really sensitive when it comes to children, it's easy to forget that it sucks to be inconvenienced by someone else's kid and not be able to do anything about it. I kind of wonder if…

It's not you. Bad violin playing and screaming babies are bullshit.

I get really sensitive and angry about too much noise too! I live below a baby, a six year old, and their mother who stomps around and I get so upset! I sleep with ear plugs and I can still hear them. There's something about a baby crying that seems to pierce through walls. I work a morning shift so I usually go to…

I'm wondering if I have anger issues or something. When I first moved to my apartment I really liked it. Occasionally there was a violin playing upstairs but it was good violin playing. I didn't mind. Then someone less experienced started playing, in this very...bad manner. And then their baby started crying more and…

Hi guys! Sorry to bring up a sore subject for some of you, but where did Doug go? I miss him.

The thing I find with PCOS is that *so many* things we experience — very high body-weight, all-over body hair, facial hair, acne, masculine features, stretch marks, depression, diabetes, infertility — serve as barriers to social acceptability, that it feels like there's no point in obsessing over any particular thing,…

This is cool. Not everyone has time to look fit or whatever. Some people do have time, but would rather do other things. Some people have tried to make time, but don't want to eat what is necessary to get whatever their intended results are. Some people don't have time to shop for the necessary groceries. There are a…

Everyone thinks they know what's better for someone else's baby. Maybe they know what's best for their own child, or what works for him.
I understand the law and potential consequences, but seriously? I would find it hard to believe that they are unaware of the recommendations, and have considered it.

FFS, considering they do most of their driving in an escorted motorcade I don't think it really matters. Calm yourselves outrageously judgmental Mums of New Zealand before you embarrass us all.

Totally! Her whole gimmick is, "My hobby is exercising and therefore I'm superior to everyone whose hobby is volunteering or learning Mandarin." Same with a vocal minority of the fat acceptance people who go, "Anyone on a diet is a traitor to themselves and guilty of reinforcing unhealthy beauty standards." You can't…

I have to say that I've always been pretty blasé about my body, mostly because there are so many abnormal health and appearance aspects I've had to deal with. But having PCOS has really made me even more casual about it because there are just a lot of things that go on with my body that I can't control and getting…

I do think it's creepy that women can't say anything about their bodies that might be perceived as "negative" without getting corrected. I find it so odd. Usually I don't even mean it negatively, I am just saying something that's true. It makes me feel weird for being realistic — I don't hate my body, but I certainly…

I don't think the problem with Fit Mom and people like her is that they like their bodies too much, it's that they base their worth and value as human beings on what their bodies look like. So do people who hate themselves and feel inferior because they think they're ugly.

As a teacher, April Fools is one of my nightmares. I hate pranks, and I spend the whole day basically ducking my students. Luckily, April 1 was on a Tuesday this year, and I teach MWF this semester, so it wasn't so bad this year.

Good grief,Kate's 5'10" and Will's 6'3". Their child might be, oh I don't know, bigger than average???

Articles like these are like a freaking bat call to the overly obsessed car seat people. Sheesh. It's amazing how some people become a parent and get their Ph.D. in Judgy Know-It-All. It's like they have Google Alerts set & a Word doc full of links to send people. Tone it down, folks. People don't listen to you when…

I think I'm just too weary and lazy at this point to really hate my body. Sure, if I put some effort into it, I can hate every single square inch of my body, from my cartoonishly big boobs to my absolutely stupid little toes and my outrageously awful upper arms. But you know what? Fuck it. I can't change it. I have…

Anecdotal, I've seen that many women hate their bodies, just not with the flaming passions ascribed to the loudest voices. Most women I know hate their bodies the way they hate asparagus or dog poop in the middle of the sidewalk. They might not always be thinking about how much they hate those things, but when it…
