This makes me feel guilty about all the mangina jokes I've made about him over the last 10 years.

I did hear the Kris has a pretty big freak out on the TV series they're making about his transition. But I don't fault for her that. I assume that must be a lot to process.

I agree with you, Scout, I have heard that they are all supporting him. I think that's fantastic.

It's one of those things where I feel like we have to give people a little time to adjust. Like, if one of my kids told me they were going to transition, of course I would be supportive/love them/accept them for their true selves. I would ultimately be happy they were happy.

But I'd have some...IDK...grief? Sadness a bit? Not because it's bad or whatever, but it's a huge adjustment and change. It just is.

I think it would actually be more of a mindfuck to have it be your spouse than your child.  I mean, she was married to him, right?  (Sorry I am Kardashiclueless).  So I'm sure she is processing the shock along with feelings of....betrayal?  Not intentional betrayal but I'm sure she (naturally) has had moments of questioning whether what they had was ever real, etc.  And that's all completely understandable. But the fact that they are all being supportive of Bruce is fantastic.  I really, really hope that society is moving in this direction.

Is there a link for the Bruce Jenner story?

100%, Scout. I just had this conversation with my H. I think the general population is rather insensitive to the transgender community and I could see myself going through a lot of emotions if my son told me he wanted to transition. Not because I wouldn't want him to be who he is, but because I know things could be harder for him. People can be cruel and I want to protect him from that.

Also, I assume if you're married to someone for years and they tell you they want to transition, you have to question your former marriage.

[dc2london]

So my H had a massive mantrum this morning complete with door slamming bc someone moved his contacts case. Where was it, you might ask?
On the playroom floor next to his gym bag.
Well YEAH it got moved you dumbass!!!!

Oh, but he just found it.
In his backpack.

Home all day with the two kiddos. I wore my newborn all day, my back is killing me. I am beyond excited my husband got home and now I can just sit here. No more snow day indoor projects!

[Cherhorowitz]

My kids new thing is climbing/jumping from furniture to furniture. He is 14 months. Not steady at all. He's making me an anxious mess.

I am drinking Malbec now! I think this is "colores del sol". I liked the design on the bottle. That's how I choose new wines. I'm such a connoisseur.  

I do that until I get a good one or one recommended to me.

I hurt my back when I was out shoveling for the second time, the kids have been whiney a-holes for the last hour, and DH is in a mood. I can't wait for everyone to go to bed so I can have a glass or three of wine.

Oh no! I hope it feels better in the morning!

A is trying to be a rooster. She climbs to the summit of a chair, the couch, etc and then screeches. And jumps.

It'll be her fault when my hair turns white. Probably tomorrow.

Good for him.

And while I'm sure she's producing the special and whatever, I kind of give Kris a little credit. She could have AWd the HELL out of this and didn't. They all seem to be really supportive of Bruce making this transition, from what I've seen.

I just complimented the Kardashians on discretion and model behavior. Fuck.

I'm going to be Devils advocate here. Do you think it is possible Kris didn't AW this out of possible embarrassment or shame?

I don't follow he kardashian clan closely so I don't really know what I'm talking about.

I feel like huge strides are being made around transgender awareness, but there is still quite a stigma attached for a lot of people.

It gets easier, I promise. Baby wearing helps a ton, and once you figure out what you actually need on outings it gets a lot easier.

DS2 is quickly falling into a pattern of amazing afternoon sleep followed by crappy sleep from midnight until 7AM. I don't know how to fix this. His rash from thrush is almost completely gone though, so he's a little happier.

BFing this guy has been much much harder than DS1, but we made some breakthroughs today. I'm celebrating with beer.

[br

We are struggling with great daytime sleep but crappy nighttime sleep. Such great news that you were able to get rid of the thrush!

Beer is well deserved!

So much this. Also, since a transition is occurring, wouldn't it be better to refer to her? I have a sibling who identifies as gender fluid so pronouns are very important.

DD Is playing in the bathroom sink. Quietly. Without help. Alone. (I can see her). So do I just clean it up and enjoy my time? Or do I be a real parent that has to bring her back and entertain her

I like it, it doesn't have too fruity of a flavor to me.

(I typed out a book, but didn't really say anything new, so I'll leave it at that.)

Not drinking tonight. I think I have to take everything out of DSs room. He is all about climbing on everything. My back is going to miss the changing table.

[Cherhorowitz]

I know I keep talking about the bumps and bruises on my kid, but he currently has two on his forehead and they legit look like horns. It's weird.

Not going to lie I always thought she was "man" in the relationship if that makes sense. I'm very sure she knew what was goingon.

[goldenbird]

I'm not drinking today since I had an entire bottle of champagne/mimosas yesterday. Granted I drank over 8ish hours, but still.
If I hadn't had that *and* shit tons of junk food yesterday I'd be dranking for sure.
