Being pregnant and having a small child are BOTH sensible reasons for deferring jury duty. And if our system was run with the amount of logic and organization used in designing Google Calendar, the court system would say, "Right; you've been excused for being pregnant. You'll hear from us next in about five years."…

As StarHopper27 said, some babies just don't take to a bottle. You may think that's bad parenting, but it really doesn't change the situation here. This particular baby doesn't take a bottle. This particular infant would therefore go hungry if the mother isn't around to feed it. Whether or not you agree with her…
Agreed about the judge (and your court system sounds awesome), but not every baby takes a bottle even if it is introduced in that magical window between nipple confusion and breast preference.
What the what?? Within the past year I was called for jury duty but since I have a child under 5, I just needed to attached a copy of her birth certificate and the fact that I don't have child care and I'm off the hook until my youngest kid turns 5. They didn't even need to know the current state of my kid's…
How is that not substantial hardship? The pay that you get for jury duty probably wouldn't even cover the care of your grandfather.
If you are going to keep a baby's sole food supply away from the baby for an entire day... that's a problem. The choices are either exempt breastfeeding mothers without child care, or allow babies in jury duty.
You wouldn't have to, the kid not being fed when it's hungry would throw enough of a fit for everyone! That's what I don't understand about the usual "don't breastfeed in public" fights, would you rather a screaming baby or a boob????
Oh, he should absolutely question them, but what he said here isn't necessarily indicative of his not being depressed.
The day I realized that not everyone felt depressed like me, I was like, WOW! What do happy people even think about?! But that made me kinda sadder.
And your peer group matters a ton when it comes to success. It's much easier to convince a kid that they should work hard when their peers are all planning on going to college than when their peers are all getting pregnant and having babies.
I can't get over Aylee. AYLEE. That's so a name a 17-year-old would make up so her kid would be uneek and speshul.
As a black woman I certainly DO know that feeling. But I try to fight it, because I know it's wrong. If I want the right to be treated as an individual with innate human dignity and not a featureless token of my race, I must - MUST - grant other people the same generosity. Even the tacky ones on welfare; even those…
I think normal people feel like that sometimes, but depressed people feel that way as a default. Big difference. So maybe he was just having a bad, everything sucks kind of day, but isn't clinically depressed.
You can only understand those feelings if you're an ethnic/racial minority.
I don't exactly keep up with Glover or his activities, but those cards summed up my life pretty well, and I know I suffer from pretty severe clinical depression.
Some public schools do not have enough chairs for all of the kids to sit down at the same time. Some classes go an entire year without a permanent teacher (they get a string of substitutes for the entire year). Some public schools are in moldy buildings, or have extreme indoor air temperatures.
I thought the exact same thing back when I was clinically depressed.
It was so bad that it made me hate myself a little for watching.
I'm such a monarch history nerd, with extra emphasis on monarch of great britain, and as i completely 100% suspected from a CW show, this is one big pile of UGHHH.
