Gee, thanks for the non-education. I didn’t notice the six T4s I’ve received. You don’t pay tax on 2400 bucks of income a year. And I don’t split my husband’s income. That’s a new thing and it won’t change the outcome - I’ll just benefit more from the return on that. We’d get the full $2000 back from that. So I give…

We have so much real shit here that should be covered. How they picked up this nonsense, I don't know.

Now that I’ve looked into it, they are getting paid 24/7 and have room and board all covered. So I don’t know. I would not feel too hard done by if my expenses were so far reduced and I was getting paid to sleep. There are nannies that are mistreated and poorly paid in this country for sure, but these two aren’t it.

That’s exactly the case. And Obama’s household budget makes what we allocate to our PMs look like peanuts. So, I am disappointed this was the angle that Jezebel ultimately took on this whole manufactured scandal.

I am so disappointed in how this was framed here. I feel like if an American was a regular reader of a non-Conservative Canadian blog and the blogger heard about baby parts and believed it.

Are you from here? Where did I say the government shouldn’t be paying for child care? Didn’t say that. I said the government shouldn’t be paying for my lack of childcare at the expense of a poverty-stricken mother who actually needs it. And that’s where we are at right now. Trudeau’s platform included changes to this…

Hilarious you say polishing his lego head, because he did have a hairstylist on his full-time staff. He used to fly her around the world with him on the taxpayer dime.
(though, the salary was only paid out of the household budget for a few years, and then they started paying it from donations made to the conservative…

Okay, this has got to stop.

Totally. I didn’t personally vote for Trudeau, but this is so silly.

I’m pretty miffed about Rona fucking Ambrose and her lame attack. All they did was allocate some of their housekeeping funds to nannies instead of whatever Harper was doing with that share (polishing his Lego head?). It’s a non-story borne of desperation. And the NDP attacks and says he’s not spending enough? Buddy…

Oh I’m totally one of those mamas who trusts a doc more when they manhandle my baby. My kids’ pediatrician is this giant dude with hands the size of dinner plates and he just tosses my kiddos around all the time like it’s nothing, while smiling and making faces at them. It makes me feel like he really likes his job…

It FREAKED MY BROTHER OUT though. When my nephew was born, I was handling him like I handle any baby and he was holding his breath the hold time. I was like, dude, I do this all day, every day. Cool your tits.

This is my favorite trick to do for new parents. It’s actually relying on a set of standard neonatal reflexes. Makes you look like a magician. Or at the very least, baseline capable.

I like his little “this is a good baby” ... ::smooch:: at the end. Like kissing the top of its little head was just an involuntary reaction to seeing a baby head. This guy really likes kids!

I love how doctors manhandle babies so confidently like a sack of potatoes. I hold my niece like she is made of tissue paper, but this guy is a pro!

Yes. This is not a mental health issue. It’s a violence against women issue. Carly Fiorina, Jason Chaffetz, and the rest of that garbage pile are directly and personally responsible for this bullshit.

It would be a mistake to write this guy off as a random lunatic when he represents everything fundamentalist religions stand for. They seem to love forgiving men for crimes like abuse and rape and then go out of their way to demonize women for accessing legal health care.

well I’m shocked.

I had no idea. This friendship seriously fascinates me.

And you know what? Even afterward, when it would’ve been the mother of all humble-brags, she still didn’t sing about it. Good God, what an amazing human being.
