I think any person who suggest you just pump needs a kick in the butt. Pumping absolutely sucks and requires you to do it just as often as you would be feeding the kid anyway. There’s also the people who will suggest formula so you get a break when in reality it just allows the father an out for not taking on more…

tI breastfed mine for about 3 1/2 years each (which equals the magic 7 which is supposted to lower your breast cancer risk.) We coslept which made things loads easier - I didn’t wake up most of the time and we weaned off nightfeeds between 6 and 8 months, by having them sleep on the other side of my husband, away from…

Hi, breastfeeding is not a valid excuse for him to do less with the baby, especially a four month old. Babies have lots of other needs: being burped, held, clothed, bathed, changed. Not to mention the many household chores! It sounds like you worked hard for this. I would suggest coming up with specific examples of…

I feel like I do the heavy lifting all night every night (we both work full time) that I want him to pull more weight on the weekends

Breastfeeding sucks. It just does. It’s good for baby, but your life is destroyed — esp when also working. My only advice (mom to a 5year old and 2month old) is to not stress. Breastfeeding is best of course, and do it for as long as you can! But if you supplement or even switch over to formula completely, your baby…

Absolutely he should be stepping up. We struggled in the first 12 weeks after mini me was born because of breastfeeding/pumping/expectations and the lack of sleep and quiet simmering resentment I was building. At 12 weeks after a nurse said ‘you know, it is ok to stop doing this if you want to’, I finally had a ‘fuck…

Oh, man. The last 24-ish hours have been pretty bad.

Breastfed over a year. It definitely gets easier, and not too far in the future for you - the moment they can keep enough food in their stomach to sleep for more than a couple hours is a beautiful thing. You really stop feeling less like a baby feeding machine and more like a human again. Congrats on making it this…

I have a 10 month old and have had a similar experience. We had a sick family member that my partner needed to be with a lot during the early days. It set a precedent that I did everything. I kept quiet because it was super important for him to be with family, but eventually it all came flooding out. I also…

I’m in the middle of a move. I’ve lived at the place for a year. I gave my landlord notice at the beginning of the month that i would be moving. I haven’t been sleeping there since last weekend. I went there today to finish some packing and start cleaning up the place. My landlord was in the garage when I pulled into…

Right around this time with my son my breasts quit producing. We had to switch to bottle feeding and it was huge. I was feeding all the time, I was exhausted, I was a mess. I felt the way you did because it’s true: you, as the mother, do so much at the beginning. Switching to bottles let us share 50/50 and I finally…

The light has gone out of my life.

I prefer to give women like this my attention.

this reminds me of a joke.

Have you tried peeing on it?

Yeah, I thought Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me! said it pretty well on the show yesterday: when someone crashes a car into your house, you don’t fix it by crashing another, nicer car into it.

Wasn’t his wife’s show produced by Harvey? Oh, and, Chrissy Teigen needs to spill all the tea with he clap back, “Hmm. Let’s just say we’ve all heard things about each other, haven’t we?” Curious and curiouser... That said, his video walk back was good. I ain’t mad at him.

The tragedy is that I have but one star to give

Seal, please shut the fuck up. The reason why there are so many incriminating photos of celebrities palling around with Weinstein was because he was a virus who ingratiated himself with anyone who had influence. And I find it a tad sexist that only women are being criticized with their associations with known male…

Do your dishes all the time. I’m a lucky soul who has a dishwasher (and a great one at that. It sings a delightful tune when it’s done!) and it was even a struggle for me to get into it. I don’t go to bed if there are dishes in the sink. And empty the dishwasher when the things are clean so you can just keep the cycle…
