there's some evidence that it might decrease your risk for postpartum depression. It's far from proven but that's a far more compelling reason to do it.*

Wait, then what's Arizona?

This. I had 10 kids under 10 at my wedding but it was also a brunch wedding. It wouldn't have occurred to me to have an event that wasn't family friendly but I'm also not related to or friends with anyone who doesn't supervise their kids.

It works for me but it is stupid expensive. I wonder if they are pricing themselves out of a chunk of the market.

For me the points system helps me make good food choices in a way that calorie counting doesn't. I eat more protein and fiber on WW.

This is aimed at parents whose children are too young to tell time.

I suspect they mostly feel relief that they don't have to deal with that embarrassment anymore. They're clearly terrible people. I know it's easier to believe that they're grieving but it's pretty clear they didn't care about her.

Yes! Anytime I meet the SO of one of Mr Aspen's work friends it feels like I've been set up on a blind date. We are (almost) out of that awkward new phase with a couple we met in childbirth class. So, of course they're moving at the end of the school year.

I doubt the Daily Mail would have declined to pay him if he said "Marky Mark ruined my life!"

I fucking love my Fitbit. I only talk about it if I spot one on someone else. Why would anyone else care?

A sociology teacher is likely to be covering issues like racism and privilege. And to be asking students to examine their own prejudices and privilege. The students who rate female professors lower are not going to adore their sociology professor.

The only "people" who seem to care about this are TheDaily Mail and the American press. So, yeah, racism is probably a factor.

The adult Lost Boys are not helping the weirdness of the "mother" storyline .

She's had to brush it out of her eyes twice... didn't they have a dress rehearsal?

I was cautiously pleased they were doing this because you can't get the Mary Martin version on DVD and I wanted to expose my kids to the songs. But they're so mangled!

Do midwives not do drugs in the UK. My midwives did epidurals in the US.

No one is arguing against science or modern medicine. All those interventions come with risks, too. Everything about pregnancy and childbirth requires that risks be compared and weighed. Since the UK also has a significantly lower maternal death rate nitpicking at the infant mortality rate doesn't seem particularly…

The bill for my hospital stay (I ended up with a c-section) was $22,000. Luckily, we have very good insurance so we paid less than $500. My son was born in June and the insurance company is still going back and forth with the hospital about the cost of my anesthesia.

Ooh, these are good questions! I grew up with ABC Bakers and I'd love to get my hands on some Caramels deLites. Somoas just don't cut it.

Eh, we're used to be left off. At least it's "the ocean" and not "living near the beach." I live 2 hours from the beach.
