Crabmommy Manifesto
On this website I will never:
*speak of the enchanting constant joy and transformative wonderment of motherhood
*dispense little nuggets about what my child has taught me
*tell any mom to stop and smell the diapers "because it all goes by in the blink of an eye"
*make jokes about bowel movements and baby body fluids (because it's not my thing and it can be found abundantly elsewhere)
*use the word "miracle"
*count my blessings
*chart my child's developmental milestones
*seem to be in a good or grateful mood
*be mean about my friends or family because they'll get me back
On this website I will:
*laugh at myself
*laugh at others
*laugh at rural momming
*laugh at urban momming
*mock the Stokke highchair
*covet the Stokke highchair
Disclaimer:
Let me say once for the record: like any mother I adore my own tot, think she is more brilliant, beautiful and gifted than yours, but this goes without saying. So I'm not going to say it (again). Rather, I vow to use my precious bloody-little time to talk about the more wretched and tricky aspects of momhood, pausing often to drown myself in a vat of self-pity and whining. Welcome!

About Me
- Crabmommy
- Originally South African, then was an urban mommy (NYC), then hubby and I decided NYC sucks unless one is awash in cash...so we decamped to the smalltown cowboy west, to a town of many hyperfit, cheery "Look On the Bright Side" moms. Too much cheeriness forced us north and west and urban and rainy. I am happier in gloom. Crabmommy is mom to one child and one only, and by God it's going to stay that way. Recent musings in a variety of fancy literary magazines that nobody reads SO THEN I GOT A REAL WRITING JOB with Cookie magazine online, where I have a bloglet about momming. (Like I don't plug that one enough. Sheesh.) email: crabmommy [then u make the at sign] gmail [dot] com

Can I just say, EW!!!
Dit klink vreeslik!

I had my gallbladder out in 1990, have the 6" scar in my abdomen to prove it, and am just fine with that. No need to go poking around "down there" any more than necessary, am I right people?
Those must be bloody men dr's! Notice how there is no mention of making a small incision in the scrotum or pulling it out the end of the penis!
Come on guys, leave us alone!
Interestingly, the Times first titled the piece something like "Doctors Perform Gall Bladder surgery Via the Vagina," which obviously caught my attention. But someone at the mag obviously thought it was a bit too tabloid for the NYT, so it got retitled to a more sedate NYT-like caption about new methods of gall bladder surgery.
MK, you crack me up. Indeed, where is the penis in all of this?
Welcome Jen.
Amy, ja dit klink vreeslik, jong. Seker!
Ladies, ladies—please!
Almost too bizarre and creepy to think about, but then when I do all my mind focuses on is the 2 very large babies I pushed out via that exact route. I needed every bit of stretching my body could muster down there and any scar tissue would not have been helpful. So we can get our gallbladders removed without a scar but then we need c-sections afterwards anyway because nothing stretches properly anymore...Great idea boys....
Yeah, how come there is so much excitement over getting organs out of our vaginas, when doctors seem more than willing to slice that abdomen to get a baby out via c-section? That said, I'd be their surgical slut any day; after pushing out a baby I tend to think my vajayjay can take anything.
