Marriage is hard on everyone. Sure, at first it's all honeymooning and sex and being on your best behavior, but at some point the guard comes down and life gets messy. We've all been there. You love your spouse, but if they do this one horrible thing one more time you swear to GOD you will cut them in their sleep. Pet peeves can be marriage killers, but there are some that are so over-the-top awful that you kinda have to wonder if your beloved is doing them as some form of marital warfare. Sure, they might simply be oblivious to the death stares you give them each time they do one of these Keep Reading >>>
I Put Off Intimacy With My Husband After Pregnancy Because I Was Ashamed Of My Body
Over and over I've seen other moms talk about their stretch marks as 'tiger stripes', 'warrior scars', 'hope wounds', but I hated mine. And the worst part was I couldn't tell anyone how much I hated them. I remember starting the conversation with a friend of mine. "I had the baby and now my skin is all stretched out of shape..." She called it glorious. Said that we should embrace our bodies and be so happy with what we've accomplished. I carried a baby for a little over nine months, I'm proud of that. But the way my body looks now? Here's the truth...and it's something we mommies don't want to Keep Reading >>>
How To Know If You’re Doing An ‘Okay’ Job As A Parent
Tonight my daughter told me she hated me. She screamed it, in fact, before flipping her hair and marching upstairs to her bedroom. The door slammed and while part of me wanted to run after her and talk to her, I knew the best thing would be to give her time to cool down. My daughter is twelve. She came to me this afternoon and asked if she could go to the mall with her new friend (just moved in down the street), and I told her no. See, I don't know her new friend's parents. We've met in passing, but never really talked. And while I realize twelve is almost old enough to hang out at the mall Keep Reading >>>
5 Strategies To Help Night Owl Moms Who Have Early Bird Kiddo’s
Some parents roll out of bed perky and ready to tackle the day. I am not one of those parents. Most mornings I roll out of bed squinty eyed, cursing at the alarm clock, and praying someday they invent a patch that infuses us with caffeine as we sleep. I, like many of us, was a night owl before I became a parent. Unfortunately my body never adjusted to the idea that kids like to be up in the daytime, so now my brain still thinks I'm a night owl and I'm stuck being an exhausted parent each morning. In short: it sucks. But it used to suck worse. I've come up with 5 strategies that make mornings Keep Reading >>>
I’m Glad Harambe Died (And You Would Be, Too!)
aka That Time Everyone Without Little Kids Pissed Off Everyone With Little Kids When a child, being a child and therefore prone to stupidity, got himself into an endangered gorilla’s enclosure last year, the zoo sacrificed the gorilla’s life to extract the boy. The Internet went on a campaign of blame and outrage, some even sending death threats to the boy’s mother. More recently, poachers killed an endangered white rhino in a Paris zoo for its horn and it was kinda talked about for maybe a day. The first event was a tragedy; the second, a deliberate act of annihilation by adults who Keep Reading >>>
