My son doesn’t get out of school for another twenty minutes but I have found a massive parking spot that I have easily glided into without any second glances. No sensors even had the nerve to beep at me because there was no one the fuck around. Unfortunately it wasn’t the same situation for the […]
The Babysitter is Your Mom Now
My husband and I were in the back seat of an Uber, heading downtown for a concert on a very rare night out for the two of us. Our three children were left under the watchful eye of our angel of a babysitter. I swear to God she was sent to this Earth solely for […]
This Cult Isn’t For Me
I love MY kids. But I don’t love kids. There is a difference. Now before you get all judgmental, let me go into more detail as to why I’m a terrible person… I like babies. The useless ones that are so brand new they can’t move or talk yet. They just squeak a little. But […]

Mom Guilt Had Me At Hello
I had a client yesterday who recently had her second child. With a quick warning of “okay I am going to cry when I say this!” she proceeded to tell me how breastfeeding wasn’t working. She had nursed her first child for two years, and now her second, only a matter of weeks. Mom guilt […]
