WHAT THE FUCK. I'm sorry your own parent said that to you, and kudos for advocating for yourself to him.

Is this from a dna thing like 23andme? Looking at getting my husband one of these for Xmas and would love recommendations....

I posted this on its own thread, but reposting here because I am a feeble inconsistently commenting gray: my husband is a bankruptcy attorney, so if any commenters have any questions about this bankruptcy and what to expect, please feel free to reply to my comment and I can respond with his answer / insight!

Whenever I use the phrase “lesbian shitasses” in my train of thought, I feel so old school Jez.

My husband is a bankruptcy attorney. If you have any questions about general chapter 11 stuff, reply to this comment and I'll ask him to respond when he gets home from work!

This makes me so happy! I was a member of USA swimming until I was 18 and plan on encouraging my kids to try out club swimming when they're old enough. Things like this make me feel better about their safety.

Democracy Now has a heartwarming story about how this judge sentenced a domestic abuser who almost killed his wife in the incident to a weekend in jail, AFTER ENSURING IT WOULDN’T INTERFERE WITH HIS MONDAY WORK SCHEDULE. http://m.democracynow.org/web_exclusives…

The president of a company I used to work for told me I needed to smile more when I was in the throes of morning sickness. Now that I no longer work there, I wish I would have vomited on him in response.

That was my son! At 9 months, he's finally getting solid sleep stretches at night (started this week and I now remember what happiness is like). Hang in there. We did ferber, co sleeping, a billion different schedules, restricted diet for me I case it was a breastmilk issue, everything. Ferber kind of worked,…

We did that with our first, too, and it worked like a dream. She's the best sleeper in the world. My son is the worst sleeper ever, and I'm sure I exacerbated it by not sticking to the strict Ferber method as I did with my daughter. He's finally sleeping in longer stretches at 8 months old, now that a couple of teeth…

My now 2.5 year old went through a daddy phase at around a year old. She went through it again around 2 years old, when her little brother was about 3 months old and emerging from the newborn blob phase. It's totally a phase! Your kid loves you so much and is just exploring her relationships with those around her and…

PINEAPPLE JUICE! Add it to your starter and it'll keep all sorts of yucky bacteria from growing and destroying your starter.

A friend of mine from college had a roommate who had a total mental breakdown. She was paranoid, talked to people who weren’t there, and muttered vague threats, among other unwell behavior. The roommates went to the university, the cops, even the girl’s parents. No one would/could help. They were told that no one…

I don't even care. They can pry my lavender kombucha from my cold, dead, hippie fingers.

Wasn’t Blac Chyna arrested for public intoxication, like, 3 months ago? I consider “several months along” to be more than three months, so........

I lost my hospital squeeze bottle (long story), and all my husband could find after searching many pharmacies was a portable bidet sprayer. My girlfriends and I referred to it as the horse inseminator because it was HUGE. I had to forgo my diaper bag for a backpack until my incision healed.

Baking soda baths were helpful for us. We also switched to huggies night time diapers and applied a&d diaper cream. Those were game changers for us after so much diaper rash due to night time urination.

We do this! It’s such a miracle worker. We also do naked time in direct sunlight (we live in ca near the beach) and that kills most diaper rashes. If it survives spread eagle direct sunlight, then we know it’s time for an antifungal topical ointment and a baking soda bath.

I am so sorry that you experienced that. I hope that you can one day find peace with losing your dad so young. And the fact that you had no control over him passing.

I am so sorry that happened. I also think you're putting too much pressure on and having too high expectations of your 5 year old self.
