Fashion shows can be very loud with lots of crazy lighting. That can be very over stimulating for an infant. And can also damage their hearing. A fashion show is definitely not the appropriate venue for a baby or a child.

I strongly disagree. Humans do not have an unqualified right to go anywhere they want. This is a very postmodern, irrational stance. Some parents are quite terrible at determining what is an appropriate venue for infants, to the detriment of those infants as well as the adults around them. Quite frankly, there are…

It is kind of assy to take a baby to a formal, staged event. Kim and Kanye must think they are above common decency. For people who front like they are all about high fashion, a move like that seems pretty disrespectful of the designers and stagers, not to mention the audience.

I quit that terrible job. It was one of the most difficult and awful things I've ever had to do—leaving the children, I mean—but that horrible woman was nasty to me about going to our surrogate's prenatal appointment on a day I was supposed to be off anyway. I couldn't take any more. It was touch and go on getting a…

Um, the second letter writer's guy is a piece of shit. Caring for someone with ALS is spectacularly and singularly difficult, physically and emotionally. Never waste another minute of your life interacting with that man, and do look into a visiting nurse. You need time for yourself, whether it feels like it or not.

You guys! I just got back from Sicily, where I learned that Italians have mozzarella sticks too. More specifically they have mozzarelline, which are little breaded deep-fried balls of the most delicious and creamiest mozzarella you have ever tasted in your entire life. (Sexual imagery unintended, but I see it and I…

"When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in…

Well said.

this kind of attitude is so shortsighted, it's fucking unreal. True story: I get emails from headhunters and recruiters very frequently. I've turned down all offers I received this year, bc I intended to take maternity leave and so didn't want to switch jobs. My company BENEFITTED from my pregnancy, bc ny offering…

Copyright law is a dinosaur, ill-suited for the landscape of today's media.

You should have gone to the bathroom and said "I'll send you something too", then sent him a picture of a bigger dick.

I definitely agree.

Semi-related: I describe my kid as "like the raptors in Jurassic Park" — he's studying and finding weaknesses to exploit. He could open child-proof bottles before he was one. Those plastic covers for plugs? He just pulls them out. We have these chord loop doohickeys that wrap around two knobs and you tighten it down…

This. Studies demonstrate how little effect exercise has in individuals who have been at a set weight for a while.

She's not that fat.

Backed by actual peer reviewed studies or was that just some horseshit that a local farmer told you while trying to sucker you into buying an overpriced papaya?

Hey! I was considering going to the Keys. Is it a generally safe place for a woman to travel alone? And would I have to rent a car? Thanks!

I love Big Pine Key,you are lucky to live there!

I can't believe I left the Keys this morning and didn't know about this! Dammit!!

By all means, zero in on that in absence of the rest of the article.
