OH. MY. GOD.

Really? So she spends some of her hard-earned money on purses you (and well, most of us) find too expensive?

Or, the fetus has died and they won't take it out of you (as I'm sure you've read all about)

Yay, abstinence-only sex ed!

I'm not even done yet, but EXCUSE ME DID YOU SAY $1700 A MONTH.

I'm pretty much in that same boat. Not because the kids are awful or anything, but mainly because I didn't want more than two to begin with, and I have two step-sons. I started dating their dad when they were 1 and 3, so I got to experience a lot of the awesome, adorable little kid stuff without having to, you know,…

Isn't that the exact same argument conservative Christians make? I'm not saying I think the men have any right to force you to get an abortion or carry the child to term, but that argument can't go both ways.

Excuse my ignorance, but who is this? (Never mind - I see in comments below that it's Zadie Smith.)

I think zero confidence in your writing is not going to get you anywhere.

Well, I have no idea what this is about.

I'm only a step-mom (a working one at that), and I second the hell out of this.

Haha, yeah, that is the one statement that made me actually guffaw. Send them to bed whenever you want?! You have clearly never had kids.

This is my all-time favorite deadspin comment.

I think you're missing the joke.

People with kids need privacy. People who want to post pictures of their kids to share with only their friends need privacy from people who might share those pictures with other people.

Wow. Let's see here. GalacticMouse listed, without opinion, the facts as they happened to her parents. So, not a second- or third- or fourth-hand account of someone trying to "cash a check at a bank" or whatever.

Come on. What about the personal responsibility of those running Bank of America who told their employees to lie to customers who called regarding their already-approved loans? I mean, this was such a problem that many BofA employees came out to the media with actual BofA memos telling them to lie.

Hahahaa, "plus viagra"!

Props to your son!

This is the most sadly accurate comment here. Did I say that right? I mean, of course it's asinine, but it's absolutely what men think. At 33, I'm fast approaching senility, after all.
