I agree with you that these points are spot on. Do they begin to cover the pantheon of issues facing modern parents today? No. But it's a nice little summation. Over simplified? Yes. But hell, how many people would take the time to read a long, thought out, scientifically based and well-rounded article on this complex…

The fuck you say? I would say the criticism applies equally to younger AND older parents. At least as an older parent, I have no excuse for not thinking through parenting decisions and applying hard-learned life lessons that I have acquired during the course of my crone-dom. As a younger parent, I might give him/her a…

I am so sorry about my comment!! I misread your post and when I tried to delete my comment it submitted it instead! UGH!!! Thanks for replying so I could clear that up. Anyway, I completely in agreement with you and what you said. The mother in this case did act intentionally, as can be shown by her deliberate choice…

You go, you crazy Bird.

Unfortunately, you don't understand the legal concept of intent.

So let's pity them and let the kiddos die. Sounds like a good plan. Leaving your kids in a hot car isn't an "oopsy." And she absolutely had the intent to leave her children unattended in a hot car. Why don't you try the good old "oopsy" defense in court, SamBarge. Let's see how far that gets you.

Well stated. I completely agree with you about modern society ignoring others in distress. I'm glad these people intervened, and I hope it is the start of a trend. Now, let's start caring as much about the homeless and the elderly.

I think they were right to do this, but wrong not to call the cops. It's about time we started giving a damn about things like leaving kids in hot cars unattended. And forget it, I am judging this mother. This was a stupid thing to do and she should be vilified for it.

If by curated life you mean that I collect dirty diapers (in a Diaper Genie, the finest of course), dust bunnies and debt, then sure. I live a curated life. BAH.

Agreed.

More, please!!!

I do too. And not because I'm a racist asshole.

Truth.

Bwahahahaha! I could pass for 7 mo preggo today. But no, that's the cupcake baby I've been working on for a while now.

Because it's true. I was the kid curmudgeon of my friends until I popped one out myself. Dammit. Now I'm smitten. Best thing I've ever done.

I didn't want kids before I met my hubs, either. Actually hated the gross little things. Buuuuut now that I have one, well, let me tell you about how adorable she is.... Things change. I dare say I would have gotten into the mood a helluva lot sooner with RG in the picure.

Definitely plausible. A+ for stellar research!

About time she got that hotness on lock! Just sayin'...

Exactly!! Bikram is a complete crook, and even if half of what he has been accused of isn't true, the law of averages still leans in favor of him being a shameless schiester. If he says hot yoga burns calories, gets rid of toxins, etc., you can bet it ain't true.

Bikram is a total crook and a creep!!!
