Y’ALL! I’ve been dragging my feet on getting sterilized but the Roe decision kicked my ass into gear. The whole thing has been so much easier than I thought! The OB was fully on board with sterilization, no invasive questions or repeated appointments. I just got off the phone with my insurance...

My partner is currently sitting on the floor with LO reading books and icing himself with a bag of frozen peas. I am relishing in making our family of three official!

I went to the neighborhood playground earlier with my 2 year-old & there were 2 other moms there. One of the moms made a comment about how she didn’t know how I had “all that energy” (I was climbing & sliding w/ my daughter.) The other mom, who has met me before, said something like “Oh, she...

I (25f) have a 7 month old son and I’m OAD for various reasons, one being due to my baby’s special needs. Well, yesterday he was at the doctor’s to get blood drawn and 2 nurses asked me the usual “how old is he? is he your first?” Etc. When they got to the “Will you have more?” question, I...

love makes the bite-sized world go round . that’s the peaches and cream of having a child , any child . but , w/ one , the focus goes into overdrive . you get a front-row seat to all this beautiful ridiculousness , and it’s amazing with a capital ‘a’

3 days of Disneyland went relatively well. I’m not saying we couldn’t have done it if we had more than 1… but with how rider swap works I don’t think wife and I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if we had had more. We took our almost 5 year old to Disneyland and had a great time, and we...

My daughter just turned 16 months. We just sold our house, husband has a new job in the next state over and lives there m-f and come home on the weekend. So it’s me, my daughter and our two dogs M-F. We just bought a home. I’m cleaning out our house and my classroom as we make this move. I’m...

I told my sister that I jokingly asked my OB to go ahead and tie my tubes while she’s down there if I do have to have a c-section, and my sister said “well, at least wait until they survive past the risk of SIDS to tie your tubes” Idk if it’s just the raging nausea that burned up all my fucks...

I said what I said. Today she dragged my husband into the kitchen to put the cup he finished 0.001 seconds before, next to the kettle 🤣

I occasionally get to play “mom” to multiple kids since i’m not mentally or physically stretched too thin in everyday parenthood. This past weekend, I texted a friend whose husband recently underwent major surgery. The friend was/is nursing him around the clock. O offered to watch their child...
