Whoa. I thought I had heard it all with postpartum and bf stories, but this one is amazing.

I used to work at an engineering firm and HOLY SHIT the things they would do and say to the women, especially the female engineers. It was a big reason why I didn't return to work after having my first child. I couldn't handle all the stresses of being a working mom AND fielding microagressions and hostility daily.

What in the actual fuck

Hoooooo boy have I tried those formulas. But that’s a story for another time. Of course formula is fine, it’s the feeding an infant goats milk instead of formula (not goats milk formula) that is a terrrrrible idea. If the product is a formula, it has the necessary vitamins and minerals. Goats milk alone doesn't have

Honestly, you are giving yourself way too much power over her life and actions. You will never truly be the reason she self harms, or gets her shit together, or anything in between. I am sorry you have to deal with this, but please kindly remind yourself that you are not responsible for her actions.

Removable wallpaper? Spoonflower.com sells some fun patterns, and they allow custom designs as well!

Congratulations! Honestly, the guilt is part of the process. Once you really see the amazingness of the gift you’ve given your child - a sibling - you’ll realize that she’s making out like a bandit with the arrival of her younger sibling. And newborns are such blobs, I found that responding to the toddler first when

I’m so sorry. It’s so shitty of your boss to make you feel lousy when you’re transitioning out. I hope your new job is marvelous and full of supportive colleagues.

When I was 8ish, my dad showed me a no-holds-barred biography of the beach boys (my favorite band at the time). It seriously traumatized me. I couldn’t listen to them again until college at the earliest? My dad was abusive in many ways, but this definitely stood out to me because he had good intentions and was just

My 2.5 year old was horrified by the snow monster in Frozen on our tiny little tv. I can't imagine what would happen if we took her to a G rated movie in a theater, let alone FUCKING DEADPOOL or some R rated madness.

Giving a baby under 1 goats milk is bananas. They should be drinking breast milk or formula. There are a ton of vitamins and minerals that babies need for healthy brain development, and they’re sure as hell not found in goats milk and maple syrup. They make formulas specifically for babies with dairy issues, and while

Applause for you. In addition to all the practical reasons you listed, there's nothing more satisfying than exacting justice with cold dignity. Especially if the other party goes ape shit. Good luck with everything, I hope it goes as smoothly as it can.

Translation: “I have very deep-seeded issues about sexuality and sex positivity. Bullet dodged!”

It is SO EXPENSIVE. My husband’s job sometimes allows him the opportunity to hire Marshals. I don’t think he has ever done it solely because of the cost. For his needs, there’s an alternative (sheriff) this requires many hours more work and effort on his part, and it’s still preferable for him.

This is what I have wondered, too. What happens if you get Zika and then get pregnant months or years later? Are there any cases of microcephaly in that circumstance?

Congratulations on your marriage! I totally understand the feeling of disconnect between your life and the life of the wandering / adventuring young adult. Met my husband in college, traveled a bit before graduation, married when I was 25, first kid at 27. No regrets. We live in a crazy expensive town, yet have a nice

Hahaha! I have no issues with people purchasing vegan products, and try to purchase ethically made items myself, but I’ll be damned if someone is going to try selling me pleather as a fancy material.

Yes! I unabashedly nurse my son wherever without a second thought, but a designated clean area to nurse him while issuing verbal threats to my toddler to stay put....well, that sounds like heaven.

I personally prefer a different diaper brand, but their lip balm is AMAZING. I buy the entire display on the rare occasion they show up at my local grocery store.
