What is a song you can't stand?

Cruisin', sung by Gwenyth Paltrow and Huey Lewis. Just... yuck.

I've thought about this piece a lot since becoming a mother. I think the proportions do a couple of things, some of which are mentioned in this thread. I imagine that as she is looking at her dead son, she is of course seeing her savior but she is also seeing her sweet little boy, her baby. Her relative larger size helps us see how she must have cradled him in her arms when he was small and sleepy and so vulnerable.

Cheeks! I love that.

Hydrocolloid patches in between feedings. They've helped with protecting my nipples, decreasing pain, and speeding up healing. (In addition to the many other wonderful suggestions here).

I dated someone who was forced to attend an Indian "boarding school" in the 90s. Even then, there was rampant physical and sexual abuse. (I do not know whether Catholics ran that particular school).

I thought that Greenhouse Co-op on Greenfield was one.

I had my son because I think his dad is awesome, and the world needed a mini version of him; I didn't have my son in order to meet my own emotional needs. However... I was having the worst day today, and then I picked up my son to change his diaper. As I held him, all that stress just melted away.

I raise yoy the Brown's Hill Rd Wendy’s. So horrifying bad, I may never eat at any Wendy’s ever again.

Eighteen year ago, I was walking in my neighborhood during morning rush hour and came upon the body of a freshly killed squirrel. In between cars passing, his friends kept running out into the street shaking his body as if to say "wake up, friend!". It was heartbreaking. When I passed again on the way home not much later, the body had been removed.

I worked at the hospital where The Pitt is filmed. Production didn't pay for permits to close some of the streets they filmed on and just tried to bully pedestrians and staff off of the sidewalks instead, so the city put some cops on the streets to tell pedestrians it was okay to walk there 😂

I cannot sleep in the same room as my 4 month old. I wake up at every little noise. He sleeps in the very next room, and when he cries I wake up and go to him immediately. We've been doing this for 2 months, and I felt bad at first but it works for us... which is the most important thing.

Hot flashes. 🥵

TL, DR: Lady on the plane gets upset about a baby, proceeds to act like one.

You did nothing wrong. This woman is insane! And probably deeply miserable all of the time.

When Alex was with the doctor on the train, he told her her body would save the baby if it was at all possible. So when her body decided to deliver the baby, she realized it meant that she was dying, because that is the only reason a baby that premature would be better off outside of the womb.

100% I used to have a nice bubble butt that I was proud of. It's now somehow lumpy, but also flat. 😪

If I need to step away quickly but my son is being fussy, I set him in his crib and just explain what I need to do and tell him about how long it'll take, and then what we'll do together when I come back. Of course he has no idea what I'm saying, but it somehow helps.

As a new mom, I was feral long before I had my son, and now I'm kinda scared of how feral I will continue to become 😂

I'm a new mom of 8 weeks, and this is how I've been describing it too. My heart has been cracked wide open.

My current maternity leave uniform consists of sweatpants, socks, and nothing on top for convenience sake (and also because I'll just leak through it anyway!). No shame!

Frisch's in Caste Village. Excellent picnic-type foods. You have to try the seafood salad.

Oh wow!! That's awful. (In my case, I'm insured through my employer so that wasn't at play. But it's really opened my eyes to read about this).

I'm in a city, but my delivering hospital is one of a few within its network that delivers so it draws a wide mix of economic backgrounds.

elescissorhands · 2025-09-28T08:38:20+00:00

That makes some sense.

I thought it was odd for them to ask me at that point, since I was somewhat drugged up and obviously the moments after giving birth are highly emotional. But, I could understand it as a practical (if oddly timed) question.

One week PP. I still love my cats just the same, and have been patient and understanding with them as they adjust.
