I want to suggest we try a new steak restaurant, but in my mind I’m seeing that as asking him for something expensive when really I just want to do something new with him. Financial conversations are strained and a little awkward when we discuss what we can afford. Are we staying at the Ritz or the Super 8? It’s not really up to me, because it’s not my money. More

Isn’t it the worst when people have ultra-personal conversations in places that abound with strangers? Actually, the worst is when they do it – then act like you’re nosy for listening. And by “you” I mean “me.” I’m only human. If you live in a big city, you’re almost certainly used to having no boundaries when it comes to the intimate conversations of strangers.

This research would have us believing that employers are looking at these people, sitting from high above, deciding that “yes, daddies are more worthy and deserve more of my money,” while mommies are inferior by nature and should earn less. I just don’t see it that way in America where everything is driven by the bottom line. More
Think about it, if it no longer becomes common that only the woman takes time off — if it is truly just as common that men will too — there’s no longer a reason to value a man’s career over a woman’s, who employers assume will spend some time out of the game. You know who else benefits from this? Anyone who wants more flexibility to pursue a semblance of a life outside of work. It’s a win-win-win. More
I read a post today where a woman is clearly taking the high road and trying to convince those that have been cheated on that they should rid themselves of toxic emotions by forgiving “the other woman.” Fuck that. More
I just told everyone at Mommyish what is in yogurt and now they all hate me. More
It’s amazing anyone is graduating from college these days. College was distracting enough before digital addiction was born. I can only imagine how impossible it is to concentrate now. A new study found students use digital devices an obscene amount during their college school day More

I knew it was bribery, but I had no choice. I was a vital part of this call and I needed quiet. I led them back out to the kitchen table and stacked five cookies and a huge glass of milk in front of each of them. That bought me seven minutes. Only 173 to go. More
More and more stories about our vanishing maternity leaves are surfacing and I’m not surprised. Guess what? Bills need to be paid. Forty percent of women are now the primary financial providers for their families. Since our country doesn’t think it’s important to mandate paid maternity leave, what other choice do we have? More
This last year has enjoyed its fair share of working mom buzz words in the media. Sheryl Sandberg with her plea to “Lean-In” and Judith Warner remarking on the trend for my generation to “opt-in” (after Lisa Belkin‘s “Opt-Out Revolution”).  Now there’s a new buzz word, “Maxed Out.”  I relate to all three.

Gird your loins ladies and gents, you’re about to be shocked and amazed. Did you know that a woman’s fertility actually DECREASES after age 35? I hope I didn’t cause any shock-related strokes, because this is totally and completely NEW NEWS, right? Well, it is if you’re professor Mary Herbert of the Institute for Aging and Health at the University of Newcastle, who wants to get the word out ASAP.
I have always had an affinity for vintage etiquette books, particularly the ones from places like Seventeen that tell girls how to lose at tennis and ensure a second date without, you know, actually asking for one. But while I treasure those 1950s time capsules as precious slut-shaming artifacts, I don’t expect to find equally archaic sentiments in contemporary advice columns — for contemporary mothers. But this didactic 1950s housewife advice from The Independent is straight out of 2013. More
