I let my 21 year old son live with us for free because he’s single, he’s got a real job, he’s helpful, and he has saved enough to pay cash for a truck today so he’ll have no car payment. I will not boomer my kids into debt. They’re always welcome. He won’t be saddled with debt and unable to provide for a family on my watch if I have the ability and space to help him set up for success.

If a man asked your body count on a first date pick up your purse and walk out, especially if the number is 0. That man isn’t worth being your 1. Trashy.
A man asking you for body count on the first date 🚩🚩🚩 But lying is wrong. It has always been wrong. If you lie, you are building a relationship based off of lies. There’s already dishonesty - it’s similar to cheating.

My husband brought our daughter to the hospital in Portland once and didn’t like what they were doing to her so he said he wanted her transferred. They said no. He said fine I’ll take her somewhere else myself. They said if he left with her against medical advice they would call CPS. I kid you not J said great call them now get the fuck out of my way and drove her to another hospital. I’m not saying he rudely left I am saying he literally told the pediatrics overlord to “get the fuck out of my way” and carried her out the door. She was fine and the other hospital discharged her home. Never heard another word about it. Point being, sometimes people in positions of what they clearly believe to be infallible authority need to be told what time it is and who is who in the relationship.

Helping teach my daughter how to get what she wants is going well. Teenage girls are so bad at it. They roll their eyes and stomp. I approach the kids with maladaptive behaviors by asking if they are more or less likely to get what they want by doing that thing. She’s working on calm pleasant negotiations. Today I said be ready in five. I watched her start to storm off and she turned and said “would you consider waiting 10”. I am so pleased. I said of course! Girl learn to get what you want. It took me 30 years. She can do it in 15.

She’s not wrong I absolutely lost all the things men value. Except if you ask one man. The only man that matters. I’m everything to him and nothing to all other men. I’m not supposed to be youthful forever. No one is. We age then we die and that’s if we are lucky. Some don’t get the chance and they die young. No one expects youth from me I’m 38. They expect warmth, good pancakes, bedtime stories, wisdom, advice, fun. Today my husband got home from a long trip in the woods to a warm newly made bed, a clean towel, a bathrobe, and perfectly timed hot dinner. He took a shower, ate like a man half starved, and as I type this he’s in an sleep deprived Mexican food coma with the dog. Stop telling older women they have no value. My value is incalculable. I know because I watched my mother die when I was younger than four of my kids are now. The hole her absence left in our lives was unbearable. It had nothing to do with her fertility. Cancer ravaged her looks. It meant nothing. Less than nothing. Someone tell Pearl it’s unbecoming to be so callous to other women. Crass even. She may have nothing to offer the world but her youth and if so I pity her immensely. Speak for yourself.

I post about my parenting hacks but please note I did throw my son’s cell phone in a creek yesterday so I recognize I’m a human with silly human reactions. Hear me out though. I said “please take the girls for a ride on the atv”. He said “why” like a smart ass. I said “because it would be the nice big brother thing to do”. He shook his head with this *mom sucks* face. He went back to scrolling on his phone. I waited. He did not move. I said “hey come here”. He walked over to me. I asked for his phone. He handed it to me. I immediately tossed it into the creek by our house and told him “look now you have nothing better to do go take your sister out on the atv”. Never let your kid look at you like you’re the dumbest person in the room when they’re scrolling on a cell phone you paid for with your money. Anyway if you need our son he is receiving letters at his PO Box. Possibly learning Morse code. He can march right on down to the prepaid phone store and replace it if he wants to go get a job. Or he can write letters. I don’t care either way. He asked me to go for a walk with him later and I told him his annoying family is full of the people who will have his back for life so maybe remember who will be there for you until the end when you’re dishing out your badass rude little attitude. Parenting is hard and none of us get it right all the time. I strive for good. Most days I get close to good. Perfect ain’t on the table. If you think it’s on yours I suggest you recalibrate your expectations.

My husband has been super busy cutting up trees for the cabin. He came down the river last night to sleep at home. He smoked two racks of ribs. We went to bed early because we were both tired. He said he came home early just missed being near his wife. He said he likes working when I’m close by even if I’m staring at my phone ignoring him and being utterly unhelpful. Twitter is full of people trying to build brands and get clicks by starting controversy between men and women. Body counts. Submission. 90% of it is BS to get engagement. Marriage is about finding someone you miss when they are gone. I’m my husband’s peace. It’s not complicated. I want to be near him. We like doing nothing together. We make each other coffee. It’s not exciting. I like to make sure he has clean shirts. He makes sure the dog eats. Our lives revolve around unspoken rituals of care and concern.

If your husband and the father of your children is having public fantasies about some apocalyptic scenario where all the men get to unshackle themselves from useless women and thrive in a barren wasteland of pure male order I suggest you find a whole new man yours is broken.
If you want to survive any apocalyptic situation, your biggest advantage would be to exclude all females from your group or survival cell. Modern women would be completely dependent, and for most practical applications, totally useless.

Marriage tip of the evening in honor of Christmas Eve: Do not set your spouse up for failure. I know it feels good to be *right* while they’re *wrong* but hear me out. My husband forgot that we planned to sneak out after the kids went to bed and go pick up the couch we got for my daughter’s room. She’s a little interior decorator and she’s been asking forever. Of course we were watching the Grinch and so the kids stayed up later than usual. He was getting ready for bed and I said wait don’t go to bed the boys are going with you to get the couch. When I tell you his face fell and he looked ready to pick a fight. Lu no this is absurd we aren’t going to sneak a couch inside at 10:00 pm with the boys. I said yes we are it’s the present she’ll love the most. He was deeply annoyed. He said just take the boys they are strong enough to do it you don’t need me. Now I could have made him the asshole and done that but see I believe in the need to KNOW THYSELF and I know how my heart works. I said yes I know I could but see hun if you don’t go and I go with the boys by myself I’ll make up a story in my head about how much more I care about Christmas magic and I wrapped and planned more and you are the asshole and I’m the best mom and see the thing is I’ll secretly resent you. So would you please get the couch with me? He did. He kissed me goodnight when we got home and went to bed. Crisis averted. Know when your spouse steps on a secret resentment landmine and warn them. Do it because you love them more than being the good guy and being right. I need you to ______ or I’ll resent it is a powerful knowing of yourself that saves marriages.

Someone reposted this and said it would break the hearts of average women to read what it’s like to be, what did he say, at the “top of the pecking order of women”. Oh dear. A response from the most plain Jane average woman on earth: The experience she writes about is magical. I’m so happy for this woman and for the love she experiences. I remember when I learned I’d never be the most beautiful woman in the room. Many many years ago when I was much younger my uncle was dying of cancer and we went to say goodbye. He was high on pain medicine at the end. My sister and I entered the room and he said it was “Lu and her sister, the beautiful one of the three”. I remember the awkward silence grew and I realized what he’d said. I started laughing and the tension eased. How could I be hurt? My sister *is* the beautiful one. Always has been. I was always the muddy blonde with the congenitally malformed legs. Short. Average. My sister is gorgeous. This isn’t the part where I say I got all the personality and she got the looks. She got it all. She is brilliant. A great mother. Her beauty detracted nothing from her whatsoever. She is interesting, witty, a genuinely delightful human. My heart didn’t break when I heard that from my uncle. I was born with an innate sense of my own worth. It never occurred to me I wouldn’t marry and be a mother. That I wouldn’t be loved. It seemed so obvious. Hell I like me surely other folks will too. It’s not that God made up for my average-ness so this is a story about how smart I am to make up for it. I’ve been loved well I’m in competition with zero women. My husband looks at me in a way that lights me on fire. He’s my everything. I’m his home. You don’t need to be all that special to receive and give love. You can be just like me. Perfectly average and perfectly loved. I think the original post from the gentleman is wrong. I hope every woman reading this feels this much loved and cherished. Swooned over. I’ll be falling asleep next to the man who gave me my last name, my kids, and this home in spite of my limp, my snark, and all the rest that makes me human. Happy anniversary, Brittany ❤️
Marry someone you’re obsessed with… emotionally, physically, and sexually. Our 6 year wedding anniversary was on Saturday. He asked me to pack a bag and be ready by 3pm. A black car pulled up to our valet. My husband was carrying a leather duffel bag, some gift bags, wearing aviators and linen. Looking hot as ever. We put our phones away and had a deep conversation. Car rides are for sexual tension. He took me to a breathtaking beachfront hotel in Sunny Aisles. 5 diamond award winner. After a tour of the property, the manager brought us to our suite. My jaw dropped. It was the most beautiful (and large) hotel room I’d ever seen. The blue ocean beyond the balcony stretching as far as the eye could see. Rose petals and swan shaped towels on the bed. Chocolate covered strawberries, flowers, fruits, and gifts. Since Iron was the theme, I gave him a handmade pocket knife of copper and Damascus steel special ordered from a blacksmith. He gave me a stunning necklace and the sexiest lingerie from Agent Provocateur. We swam in the ocean. I sat facing him in the shallow water and let the waves rock us back and forth. The spa was world-class. I showered under the “rainforest,” put on a dress I knew he’d love that showed off my necklace. The Italian restaurant was the best I’ve had. The service, from the waiters to the beach and hotel staff made me feel like royalty. But honestly, we took the dessert to go. At 6 years, our passion is more intense than ever, and we’ve become experts of each other. We fell asleep to the moon over the ocean, the night breeze blowing the drapes as Midnight in Paris played faintly on the TV. I woke in a state of pure bliss. We had seven more hours. And we made the most of it. Bed. Beach. Spa. Food. Then we went home, excited to see our baby girl. It was a honeymoon all over again, but somehow even better. Forever grateful to be married to the love of my life.

90% of my happy marriage is us just wanting each other to be happy. J wants to watch football so I am planning snacks and a meal around him doing that. Yesterday the kids mentioned wanting the fall feeling of caramel apples. Got those too. Put his favorite sodas in the fridge so they’re cold ahead of time. It’s honestly just the little things. He bought me Mac n cheese bites today. He saw someone who has previously been rude at my business through the window when he drove by and called to check on me. It’s the 1,000 little things that take less than a minute to consider doing that add to the net quality of life in a family. Someone needs to have time, energy, and the disposition to do this. When this becomes a task of a mom who doesn’t have the time or energy for it, it becomes a resentment petri-dish. Resentment makes you sick and makes you sick of people. Fast. If you haven’t cultivated a life where your wife has time to consider the little things that make you happy maybe sort that out and see how your life improves.

This is potentially the worst idea I’ve ever heard in 40 years on this planet, 16 of which I spent as a nurse. This idea is so bad it should be technically illegal. You should have to speak to a priest. Potentially demonic.
My brother has a colonoscopy on Tuesday. He’s traveling by car and plane on Monday. He thinks he can pull off doing the prep while in the airport….

Spiritually bankrupt men commenting on my daughter-in-law’s weight should remember that the only man who she ever needs to please is my son and that man looks at her like she’s made of cake, magic, and sunshine. He’s worried about two things and that’s making her smile and making her a mother as many times as God lets him. You? Very online. Very weird. Very weird online. 🤷‍♀️ oh well. A you problem.

Being told you’re the asshole by your spouse with an implied request for a change in your behavior is an attempt to make it right and connect with you. It’s a GOOD thing. You want to be corrected. It makes marriage last. Pretending things are fine that aren’t fine is like giving a marriage cancer and ignoring it.

My sister was in an ICU and I called out for help. Told them my sister’s telemetry reading was concerning. The literal cardiologist looked at me and said “oh that’s not her heart rate it’s just artifact from her moving” and I said “no it isn’t LOOK at it” anyway she had a collapsed lung. I never leave a family member alone at a hospital NEVER.
The sad reality is that if you have a loved one in the hospital, you need a Karen there to bitch at nurses and doctors to give a shit. You also need to do all of the research yourself to figure out what your options are. Otherwise they will treat your loved one with the same mental Clarity and integrity they harnessed during Covid. They will do what’s easiest & makes them the most money. That is most doctors & nurses in America, sadly. Doctors aren’t the superheroes we think they are when we’re 6

I’m Catholic which means during COVID a Catholic person was dying in a local facility during lockdown and a priest who shall forever remain nameless and I made a plan to bring my husband’s work ladder to a back window and break him in to give her last rites. A kindred spirit. I loved him for not flinching. We don’t care for the laws of men when the time comes. The hospital let him come in. Maybe they knew the alternative was an older priest falling out a second story window and making a scandal. We were spared the indignity of criminality but please know we were ready. You know he thought to himself which Catholic in our parish doesn’t mind a criminal record and has a lot of ladders in her garage. Me. It’s me.

I have zero tolerance for kids who don’t want to eat what is served. Don’t eat then. Don’t announce your preference. Be hungry. Quietly. Raising your kids to demand accommodations for their preferences at shared or hosted meals is unfair to the planet.
Catering to picky eaters as children, creates insufferable, entitled adults.

Stop treating your boyfriend like your husband. My husband tells anyone who will listen I made him a gourmet meal and baked him some bread exactly once and then waited for that ring. Oh you want sourdough? Ask your wife. Oh you don’t have one? Weird. Go to Trader Joe’s.

It’s not anti-trans to say a biological man shouldn’t intentionally seek out employment as a pelvic floor therapist working on penetrating women who come seeking help with pain and dysfunction often after significant sexual trauma. Any sane human would think they should do something else with their skills and alleged care/concern for women. It would never cross a normal person’s mind to do that *knowing* this will make a significant number of women uncomfortable. Worse to know they might not feel safe to tell you. You are knowingly and willfully putting yourself in this position. It’s a shocking and obscene thing to do.

I’ve actually never met a woman fresh from having a baby that looks at that baby and thinks I wonder who can keep you for two whole weeks so I can travel… women feel bad stepping away to bathe. Women feel stress the first trip to the store without their baby. Two weeks?!
Going on a two-week vacation without your newborn baby is insane behavior. This is borderline child abuse.

I’ve seen this meme in the wild backwaters of Twitter for long enough let’s discuss it. My husband and I have six kids and two grandkids. My body changed a great deal after guillain barre in 2017. Our marriage looks exactly like this right up until the end. I wear flannel nightgowns instead of lingerie now. Sometimes our kids need me in the night. They need me. He needs me. Yesterday was J’s 51st birthday. His big party is next Tuesday. Yesterday we enjoyed each other. Alone. Every child has to go away for one day a year. Son is at camp, daughter at summer activities, etc. We are never alone so this is our day. Just for us. J grills two of the best steaks we can find. We make a cherry pie. We spend one night like two teenagers in love without a care in the world. We laugh at the weirdness of the silence. We get a lot of sleep. It’s not that we don’t love our kids. It’s not that we don’t miss them. It’s that our marriage remains deeply satisfying after all this time and reveling in that is a blessing. This meme is bullshit if you play your cards right. My body has changed. That part is spot on. We remain.

My first severe injury as a bedside nurse was 10 years ago. A large woman in labor used my body to move her body despite the 300 lb difference in our sizes. She reached out and grabbed me as if I could hold her. My right shoulder has never been the same. I took 2 weeks off the floor and instead of seeing patients I worked in an admin capacity. I went back with a tens unit. I’ve pulled 17 hours straight in an ER. I’ve been exposed to TB and all manner of disease repeatedly. I’ve been spit on, hit, kicked, bled on, vomited on, the list is endless. When should people like us get to retire Ben? 70? 80? When have we given enough?
Ben Shapiro: "No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old. Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem."

Open letter to the unwashed masses waking up to a new day of calling me fat on the internet. Friends I spent my whole teen life wishing I had a womanly figure. I was rail thin and angular. My vibe is not that. My vibe is holds two babies at once and makes cinnamon rolls. My vibe is little spoon meets Mrs. Claus but also knows how to make really good challah. My body is the vehicle of my life and she has thus far treated me to a luxurious ride. I got paralyzed by a vaccine in 2017 and she really did me a solid and not only chose to survive but did so in stunning fashion. My body is my husband’s home. Wherever I am he will always be at home. My arms are the safest place in the world for a scared kid. Many a sick kid has fallen asleep on my chest and woken up feeling better. This body gets all the best from me. Moisturized and well rested. I’m vitaminmaxxing all winter so my body knows I notice her low vitamin D. My body is my friend so I make sure she gets massages and goes to the sauna to sweat out the bullshit bad vibes. I’d hate for my body to think I’m the enemy so I eat well, sleep on a good mattress, stay hydrated, make sure she has good loving, and invest heavily in my own well-being. So in honor of your unkindness I present you with a gift. This is a photo of my body at my absolute fattest. This was two years ago. I was happy this day. This was a good day. I made pies and held my granddaughter. I have lost weight since this day and still love myself in exactly the same ways. I did it precisely because I love myself up to and including my physical body in all the ways that matter. So I hope you all have a blessed day. Be well. ✌️

If my 12 year old daughter came home with a kit of plan B, condoms, pregnancy tests, and narcan and said her friend’s super fun understanding chill dad gave it to her I’d use him as crab bait.
Amber & I have compiled a true emergency kit for Briana & her friends. Plan-B, condoms, pregnancy tests. Just found out that I can add Narcan for free to that kit. I hope we never need to use it. But it will be there. You can see if you are eligible⬇️ phra.org/mail-order-naloxone

I’ve worked in a maternity center and delivered babies and I want moms to know I would not bat an eye at any of this. None of this is shocking. This is just called leave me and my baby alone unless it’s a legitimate medical crisis birthing and I’m down for it. Building trust is essential. Show respect and I find when you do feel the need to intervene you’ve communicated well and built that rapport that moms trust that you would have avoided any intervention if at all possible. Never get into a power struggle. It isn’t fair to moms and it degrades trust immediately.

There is no reason for someone to go into such a sensitive type of medical care for women with full knowledge that MANY of the patients will feel uncomfortable. It’s outrageous. You could be a hand specialist. You could specialize in upper back pain. But no, you specifically want access to women with pelvic floor dysfunction! Do you hope the uncomfortable ones remain silent for YOUR comfort? How many women with pelvic floor pain have suffered assaults or trauma? Sir honestly how dare you?
Everyone is so convinced that "how another person lives their life doesn't affect you!!!!" until a biological man walks in to be your pelvic floor therapist Kinda hard to "live and let live" when it could involve this

As a formal marriage respecter I’d like to give a shout out to my husband for being the least complicated man alive. We are like two Rubik’s cubes that have each other figured out. I went to the store yesterday and bought $158 worth of cleaning supplies. He saw that and left to go to the store. He bought bait. We don’t even need to talk about it. We just see the bags on the table at home and know what the weekend looks like. He will need roughly an hour of my formal attention between now and Sunday and maybe some boat snacks. That’s it. I need him to leave me alone so I can bleach things now that the household crud is leaving. He’ll bring the dog fishing. I’ll watch fights and eradicate germs. He will catch me a fish and grill it for dinner tomorrow. The ongoing unspoken understanding is a gift of marriage that ironically we don’t talk about enough.
