Agree. I was not spanked a lot but when I was, it didn't really change my behavior, it only made me resentful that I was subjected to such a punishment. I try to lean towards techniques that have a longer impact. What does my child like or enjoy? Well, that's the first thing that goes if she misbehaves.

Tee-hee. I get you.

Presumably they are trying to figure out how to draw more people to the $$$$ Disney Aulani resort in Hawaii. (when did I get so bitter in life?)

Each individual task related to child care is not actually that hard. I think that's why some people have trouble understanding why stay-at-home parents may struggle. For me, it's the psychology of it all.

I enjoy kevetching, as you call it. My neighbor from Long Island and I do it frequently over drinks.

Um, yeah there is!!! It means you finally get rid of the ugly shag carpet. Silver lining here, Myrna. Silver lining.

HAHAHAA! People actually claim that?! I'm sorry but that is just so laughable — on their part, not the part about you being upset about that.

I consider the perception to be related to numbers.

Oye...trying to figure out how to write this out in a way that makes sense. I need more coffee so forgive me if this is jumbled!

My safe word is "Cultural Appropriation".

Sorry, Gella. Go have a drink, a smoke, just take a break. Get away from it all. Find a hobby. Perhaps take up stamp collecting. Sorry, Gella.

Why ask that question? It's only going to depress you, me, and millions of others.

The guy himself is distracting. Granted he taught her but it feels like he's trying to take some of her limelight by always performing with her. The girl is strong enough on her own, she does not need her instructor there.

I must have the match for yours with, "Helping Daddy". It is terribly sexist and a bit creepy. Interestingly, it's the only book my child has completely torn to shreds. She grabbed multiple pages at once and just tore right thru them. It looked like a ticker tape parade had been in her room.

My kid is freaked out by the "'scary bunny bush". Kid you not. Every time she points it out she screeches about the "scary bunny bush". Add in the usual toddler speech impediments and it's hilarious.

Ugh, yes...the "smile" comment made me barf in my mouth.

It's like the people who claim they are "detail oriented" on their resume but there are multiple typos or grammatical errors within...which is why I never put detail oriented on my resume, just in case.

Gawd how I wish I could shake it like this!!! So deliciously sexy and powerful.

My husband still remembers an outfit I wore when we worked together. Not because it was cute but because it did not match. At. All. The shoes, the skirt, the tights, they were not working at all. It makes me laugh because noticing how one's shoes may match one's eyes is usually beyond him . So point being...yes, if my…
