Tracee Ellis Ross, stay exactly the way you are, you fox.

Yes, does it have to be restaurants? Because my old General Manager at a now-defunct car lot literally did coke on his desk. Literally. Lines. On. His. Desk.

Attachment parent here, 45 years old, and kiddo has made it to sixteen years. Long and short? You really have to do what fits your family the best, and it may not be extended or on-demand nursing. My son was two and half when he weaned himself. At three and a half he said to me, "Daddy snores. I want my own…

Is it weird that I was both a co-sleeper and a cry it out? At some point, night time breastfeeding is over and you just have to get that kid out of your bed.

She's the bestest.

That's so great to hear! Been in love with her voice for over a decade and had somehow never managed to catch her tour until later tonight!

I love this album! When it came out in the summer I used drink wine and play it loud in my little California bungalow with my doors and windows open on hot nights. It was perfect.

Oh Jesus, I just love her so much.

Obstetrics seems to be an outlier in how patients are treated. In any other field you are encouraged to get a 2nd opinion. If you do that and your OB finds out, you could be released from care. It's absurd.

Any successful marriage - mine, included - involves some benevolent omission/"lying". 100% honesty is 1. impossible and 2. overrated. But on the big stuff? You have to be open and communicative. You have to act as a team - you and them against the world. You have to be kind. You have to talk about sex even when its…

Don't be terrified. A happy marriage makes having a baby much easier. My husband and I got preg 3 months after getting married, ie, when we didn't know *anything.* Except that we wanted to be together forever. Our kid—though he is 100% himself—was a product of our relationship in every way. 18 years later, and after…

You will be ok! We have our second coming in December. Another point of view on this is that life is long. There might be a period in the beginning where the focus is on the baby rather than the marriage, and I honestly think that if your marriage is strong, that will be ok. Be patient, cut yourselves some slack, and…

Dude. You're gonna be okay, I promise. If you have to ask "is my marriage solid?" then... you might have a problem. If it's solid, you know it already and adding a mini-Pinwheel won't sink your boat.

My husband left when I got pregnant, (Yup, even after we were trying to get pregnant). I cannot imagine telling my child that. His dad loves him, is not a great dad but tries his best, and I want my son to love him. Talking terrible about him would only make me look horrible in the long run. Kids don't stay kids…

I've got to say that both times we had lice we called the "Lice Lady." So much easier in terms of all the work that needs to be done when you get lice. She did the treatment and makes sure all the nits get out of it — a house call with a follow up. Of course she doesn't do the three million loads of laundry that…

I agree with you that people overdo it when they expose all their private details (see discussions of one's stool shape on Dr Oz etc), but lice are a common problem that is largely unrelated to hygiene, and, because it's still taboo in certain groups, I personally love it when people are open about it.
