It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't mind.

I mean, she is getting hers slapped, after all -- the tradeoff is her call.

What is even happening?

I know nothing about potty training babies. However, either I'm really good at this puppy mama thing, or Oz is incredibly smart. He's taken to housetraining fairly quickly- only one accident when Mr. H didn't come home on time to let him out and he escaped his crate. Other than that it's been only outside all the time. He also has the benefit of an already well housetrained older dog to show him the ropes.
This is great, Heather.

I think I forgot to say earlier, much ~ma to him and you, and family.

My friend's daughter had potty trained effortlessly really early. And then they moved and L had another kid within 3 weeks and the daughter reverted. With a steely gleam in her eye. (She's a willful little thing.) Often, L wished the same as you.

Ugh. That has to be the worst. You see the light at the end of the tunnel, then someone slams down the door.

Now that I'm thinking about it, Julia may have been a year older than Franny is. She's a November baby, and she learned in the summer, probably June. I can't remember now, though. I could go check, but I am too lazy.

1) you're mean, to suggest that anyone is less nice than you is such a hoot. HOOT! I HOOT at you.
2) do you still have the link to the Rules Girls, cause I think you could talk with them for days about how cute the little bottles and jars of stuff are.
3) I now picture you with silly giant bows in your hair.
4) sara loves the pinchy cheeks.

msbelle lies.

Can I please tell a user that we are gaslighting him? Please?

We're not, I just think he's on the bad crack. Or there was a minor update issue, but it is gone so who cares.

msbelle, I don't see how you can even fit normal sized bottles in those wee fists of yours.

Let go of the denial.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

OMG, Au Bon Pain has the most delicious new steak and goronzola cheese sammich. Delish, I tell you! It also involves caramelized onions.

Allyson, good luck! And yay for Franny's potty training.
