What a fucking cumtrumpet.

I hate just ‘adopt.’ Every child up for adoption has experienced trauma. I have friends who’ve gone through it and it is utter agony-even when it’s straightforward. Also, there’s fewer kids up for adoption than people think.

I’m so sorry, my love, I truly am.

My friend is fantastic OB. She says this sometimes happens and there’s nothing they can find wrong with the baby. It just happens. I’m so sorry for your niece.

I live in an Edwardian house and our room isn’t on the same floor as the kids’ rooms. I never used any kind of monitor for them. Each to their own, but I absolutely hate them.

That’s where all my happiest memories come from- baseball with my dad. He taught me to keep score and just like you said, had plenty of time to show me what was what. Wish we had baseball here.

Or just chilling the fuck out with them. I watch Say Yes to The Dress with my 5 year old. She discusses in great detail about the dresses and what she likes. It’s a bonding thing for us.

I want to have another kid just to call it Rock Hardboy.

My kid’s friend’s dad looks just like JRM. Lovely man, but my husband and I chuckle when we see him.

The south east side of Chicago is 15 minutes from Indiana. In fact, my dad would take us to Indiana for Tasty Freeze. It took us maybe 25 minutes. It took longer to go to Schaumburg.

Call me crazy, but picking up, talking to your kids, and spending some fucking time with them is an easier and cheaper way of nuturing your kids. I don’t get any of these high-tech baby gadgets. My youngest kid is five, so it’s not like I’ve been out of the baby game for a while. This is anecdotal, but the most…

It’s trite, but I’m so sorry.

I’m a black woman and I loved it. I’m 40, so it didn’t relate to my life at the time, but I just found it to be fizzy fun. It did have some great moments and it showed female friendships- flaws and all.

It is, in some cases. We have kids and had no trouble conceiving, but we talked about this stuff. I wish you the best with everything.

She cares enough to write about it. I’d want my friends to tell me. Also, she’s a fucking adult- tell them she doesn’t want to get them done.

Mom of three here. There’s 6 years between 1 and 2, and 2 is now wearing 1's hand me downs. 3 is 2.5 years younger than 3, and she’s the only girl. She wore 2's hand me downs until she decided on dresses. 3 also gets my boss’s daughter’s cast-offs. I can afford new shit, but I hate waste and taking them shopping.

Or one that’s seen his mom having the shit beat out of her constantly. Or was sexually exploited. Adoption is a lifelong process. My friends who’ve adopted have said as much. A guy at work just had an adoption fall through. He’s gotta go through the process again.

You don’t. But you don’t have parent a child with deep-seated trauma either. It’s hugely different and adoption isn’t right or proper for everyone.

Bravo. An child put up for adoption has experienced some sort of trauma- whether they’re orphans (that almost never happens) or through other means. There’s also not a bunch of kids waiting for adoption either.

Exactly. Also, maybe her eyebrows are terrible.
