My boyfriend's mother is a sweet little lady who can throw shade that lasts for weeks at a time. The first time I met her (about ten years ago), she needed to be reminded of my name twice. Then she sighed and made a sad little aside to me about how it's such a shame her son's attention span is so short when it comes…

Why is this comment still gray?! +a million

Yep. He is a veteran, too.

This is so true. As people from northern areas and rural areas will happily admit here, it's still about 1964 in many parts of WI.

I have many of them on my friends-of-friends FB list and they pop up on FB with regularity. Just yesterday (before the Supreme Court weighed in) one was "lol"-ing about all of the "lazy, worthless" women and minorities that wouldn't be able to vote.

Awesome. My 4-year-old can write her name and a few other things if I spell them, but her fine motor control could use improvement. This is a great idea.

Yeah, why didn't they include any of that? I am disappoint.

This is incredible. Your 3-year-old wrote those letters?! Getting a board like that ASAP now.

And just as an addendum, my daughter is now a very healthy & precocious kindergartener, so there were no long-term effects due to the crappy birth experience and severe jaundice.

First pregnancy, first birth. My then-husband drove me to the beautiful brand-new women's health center where we'd planned on delivering. All started out well, but I soon found that the center did not actually plan on letting me use any of the beautiful brand-new birthing equipment strewn around the spacious birthing…
