BABBIES!

I'm trying not to assume everyone is a complete moron, but when you can't figure out how to pluralize "baby," and you're inches from having one, you need to take a moment to remember that these babbies or baby's or whatever they are, depend on you to be the smart one who educates them. They're counting on you to help them get through school. Now I admit, you have a couple of years to figure out that you turn baby into babies, by a standard rule where the "y" becomes an "ies," but haven't you already HAD a few years to figure that out? The apostrophe is for possession. I have yet to figure out how the apostrophe became the go-to guy for plurals.

Maybe while I was preparing myself for having a baby (because I'm clearly not ready or I would have one, right?), by learning proper grammar and working on my spelling, I should have been doing whatever the hell you were doing.

Are you serious??

The Hubs and I have recently decided to re-start treatment.  IVF cycles are always super stressful
for me, because I am an anal retentive psychopath (hey, at least I'm aware of it).  I must control
everything, and part of that is to concentrate on the cycle at hand, and (theoretically) not the
children I don't have.

Two days ago I checked the mail, only to find this...




(Seriously, of all the things to have to get.  Let's not even discuss the damn 'accidental' sentence,
'Parents spread the love.'  Shit.)

Someone subscribed me to this godforsaken magazine.  Either someone's attempt to be supportive
was reallllllyyyyy misguided, or someone is a mean-spirited douchebag.

For the record, I also get 'American Baby.'  What.  The.  Hell?

Either way, shitty thing to do, shitty thing to deal with right now.
