We're pretty boring, it's almost always either oranges or peanut butter & apples.

I do agree that it takes a village to raise a child, a village of our choosing. Meaning when a ''well meaning'' stranger attempts to intervene when any of my kids are melting down in public, I just ask as nicely as possible, ''How many of your kids did I tell you how to raise or discipline?'' and as the answer is most assuredly NONE I then ask them to extend to me the same courtesy. Because seriously, wtf goes through the minds of some people? While I don't think shushing is helpful, at all, to the parent or child it's also nowhere near as inappropriate and illegal as assaulting a child. End of the day, if you're not actively helping or offering assistance (hold packages, hands of other children in parking lots/crowded areas etc.) not advice, avert your judging glare and eat your damn bagel.

As you said, it was obviously a show intended to cause controversy without the slightest hint of resolution. I thought you presented your thoughts concisely and I would not have guessed your appearance wasn't scheduled. Good job.

Man it is so interesting how something that has been going on since....well, forever, can have such different paths to the same ending. My um ''birth plan'' was to be numb from the neck down and I'm not really sure what I thought would happen afterwards. Real life turned into a ten+ hour labor without drugs with the added bonus of HOURS of pushing. That said, I hope your girl gets here in the time and way best for everyone involved and that daddy makes it home on time!!

xoxoxoxo I hope things get better soon; am doing a similar dance with crazy pills right now and honestly most days all I can do is cry, like A LOT. UGH, wishes for our brains to get with the program already.

I saw the preview of Tough Love and was horrified. HORRIFIED. Essentially a smarmy guy with a toothy smile 'charms' women into foregoing anything unique or original to them to get a man. Niiiiiiiiiiiice. DO NOT WANT.

Good job, lady. Keep it up, you're worth it.

Sounds like progress to me, pretty girl.Good job!

Oh honey, I am so, so sorry you're not feeling well and I super hope (hear that rash? SUPER HOPE!! IN YOUR FACE!!) it is nerves/stress and not anything (physically) worse; and no, please don't think I'm underestimating the hurt of PTSD and the import of your anniversary of sobriety; I just hope it's something benadryl and hugs can treat. On that note: HUGS. And huge kudos for your first of many, many years of sobriety. You're doing great, kiddo.
