I was going to write something similar but you beat me to it. Demeaning the work SAHM's do IS demeaning the work a paid nanny does yet I've never seen a comment on jezebel deriding nannies or daycare workers (as they shouldn't). Taking care of a kid is taking care of a kid, no matter if you get paid or not. Unless…

The worst thing I could see was her drinking and driving home even though she was offered a driver (still would have been bad if she hadn't been offered a free ride home). Screw up your reputation, your career, your liver, whatever. But don't fuck with other people's lives on the road.

How about:

I can't imagine the US getting that progressive where it'd become law but I wish it were more of a story how if big companies offer at least 6 months leave and maybe even some paid father leave have better recruitment which would nudge other companies to voluntarily offer the same.

I'm glad to hear it's a supportive workplace. Most of the religious Christians I know don't see it as an issue either.

They certainly got the page views.

Agreed!

I'll just add one more thing and if you want to respond, fine. I won't engage further. If someone was being cyber stalked and found out about it, it'd be understandable if they felt uncomfortable or even possibly threatened, so in that way it harms. But in most cases a person wouldn't find out so I guess you think…

The thing is, if you meet someone raised by a single parent and they're a great, well-adjusted person, would you really think to yourself well, you're pretty good, but it'd have been so much better for you to have been raised by two parents? And how would you feel if you were that person knowing people felt that way?…

I understood Tracy's point, but of all of the posts out there saying this is the best of all the best ways to parent, she really had to pick this one to tear apart?

Good point, but whether you're with a partner or have supportive family nearby or can afford a good nanny/babysitter, having other people around to help in turn helps a parent have time to be reliable.

Common = Okay, or Good? Glad to know you can simplify things like that. Make sure you consume a 1,000 calorie dinner with a large soda every night while writing misogynistic anonymous comments on Yahoo and declaring that gays are the reason society has gone to hell. You know, all common enough things that I guess…

"that's how common it is." Okay, I'm getting the impression you yourself cyberstalk and would like to think almost everyone does it as a way to feel it's okey dokey and since the author cyberstalked, you'll defend her to no end as you're basically defending yourself. Hopefully all of your cyberstalking will…

That's great, but also kind of lucky. If the actress had actually found out about the cyber stalking and felt uncomfortable about it the author would have come across as a huge creep and might not have wanted to publish this without a happily ever after ending. A post about this from the actress' point of view if…

If she was aware she wouldn't be writing it as a lalala funny short story: "Just kidding. I kept secretly stalking her." Seriously, if I was reading this in a fiction book I might chuckle. Given that it's true, it's disturbing.

People get embarrassed by things everyday, it doesn't mean they think they should immediately stop.

I guess I appreciate the author's honesty about it, but the lack of awareness at how unhealthy it is, is kinda disturbing.

That was my first thought too.

I know one of her (non-immediate) family members. Sounds like she keeps the distance up on her end and nobody minds.

It's official. Elizabeth Wurtzel did not think this article through before hitting 'send.'
