I have the most miserable fucking head cold right now. One that can only be treated with excessive amounts of oxycodone and cheap tequila. It is 2:30am and I'm awake sniffling to myself, creaking and watching Bad Lip Reading on YouTube (which you should really check out, just sayin ( Read more... )

laugh so you don't cry, opinions and assholes, angry cripple, pain, breastfeeding, always look on the bright side of life, fuck your ableism, you probably think this blog is about yo

Crap, I really want to leave some insightful, touching reply but I keep worrying it's going to come across as stupid or similar.

Screw it, pregnancy has eaten my brain. I think you are one tough cookie, and your kids have a beautiful set of role models in their parents.

Thank you. :)

Still waiting... anonymous October 1 2011, 14:31:38 UTC

I keep waiting to find the other mothers who are like me. I'm a visible minority in a very white community. My kid went to a preschool that was pretty much all white, so for kindergarten we switched to a "diverse" school. Yeah, it's still pretty much all white. All the "good" kids and "good" moms are white, all the "diverse" kids are pitied. But I don't fit into either group, so basically I just stand there like an idiot ( ... )

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The "not like the good ones" cycle is vicious, and it's absolute bullshit.

If your chest freezer breaks, you will take your milk baggies to my house and dump them in MY chest freezer. The end.

Also, LET ME TAKE YOUR CHILDREN. Seriously. I have random days off in the middle of the week. I have every other weekend off or something similar. I have a huge back yard and a large playroom in the basement that comes with toys and books already in it. I have bus tickets! Let us take them so you have a day with just the baby, or a day with the baby and Curtis. I live next to a rec centre and two parks and an ice rink. And an awesome frozen yogurt place. We can occupy them for hours.

I love you, and I so appreciate this, and I kow I'd be barking the same thing in your ear in a few years time when it's you (and yes, it will be you).

At the same time it feels weird to just... bum off my kids on someone else when I'm perfectly capable of caring for them myself, you know? I know sometimes it's needed, and you guys are their aunties and they LOVE you, but it's... weird for me to be all, "I'm going to have someone babysit for NO REASON AT ALL!".

Surround yourself with people who care about you, and screw the rest.

The only person qualified to judge your parenting skills is yourself.

Every mom is a shitty mom sometimes.

Parenting is like triage, you have to decide what's the most important thing and deal with that. Some days, that's the only thing you do - and that's ok!

If you can't find bags that'll ship to Canada, I have a ridiculous surplus of Lansinohs. My kid's a year old and I rarely need to pump these days, so I don't need them taking up space anymore.

I can find the bags locally, they just cost an arm and a leg. If you're willing to give up your lansinoh breastmilk bags, I'd be happy to take them. :)

They're yours. I have way more than I could ever even think about using. I can mail them out Friday and get a confirmation number for you. Would you be okay covering shipping?

ETA: If you don't mind them without the outer boxes, I can probably squeeze them in a flat rate envelope.

Totally, on both counts. I think I still have some in my Paypal. Email me using the 'communicate' link on the sidebar. :)
