    How DH “does the laundry”

    @faithwalker007 Yeah, I'm the same way. All of my clothes and the kids' clothes go in the same loads. I actually use the washer as a dirty laundry hamper, and once it's got a full load in it I start it. My partner washes his clothes separately, but that's because he's a mason so his clothes are...

    So tired of being gaslighted when I say I had a traumatic birthing experience *TRIGGER WARNING*

    @katrina2017 Same! I went from my first contraction to holding my son in just under two hours. It was my second induction, and I thought I knew what to expect. My first birth was so straightforward! I had an epidural and literally didn't feel anything, I pushed for 30 minutes, my daughter was...
