I get why this sounds funny, but in Sims3, they were actually two separate options. One was simply Woohoo, the other was Woohoo/Try for Baby. So no matter how much your Sims woohooed, they would not get pregnant in Sims3. I think that's where the surprise from that character comes from.

Thanks for your info. My son is 2 years old now and I do what works for his bottom. Some fancy diapers cause him to break out, some don't. Some cheap ones do, some don't. So I get the best kind (for him) that I can afford. I realize more frequent diaper changes would help the problem, but again, like the article…

I am actually one of those low-income moms, though not a Californian. After paying for other necessary expenses with the (pitiful) amount I'm given each month, I spend $35 on diapers and try to stretch it to the end of the month. If I can't, then I ask for help from family. It sucks and its one thing that no one seems…

I think you may have a point with the victim-blaming/lowering risk thing... it is a very fine line to walk however. I think victim-blaming gets called out more with rape is because rape is one of the few crimes we have that directly affects someone's body. It is their very person being violated, being assaulted.…

What did she plan to do if the company said "Fabulous, you're hired. You start tomorrow."? It makes no sense that she's looking for a job if she had no concrete plan for child care...

Same in my state. You must be employed or going to school full-time (but only if you are receiving TANF) to get state assisted childcare.

You do realize how bitter you sound right?

"It's a very vicious cycle, poverty. That's pretty much the take away from this story. It's not that people shouldn't take responsibility. It's about how we've failed a population that literally has to choose between several shitty choices while still lying about the American Dream and those stupid fucking…

"Unless exempt, you are required to participate in the Jobs Program. The Jobs Program provides employment services for Cash Assistance and Two-Parent Employment Program (TPEP) members and others to help them avoid dependence on public assistance. TPEP members, who are required to participate in the Jobs Program…

Yep. They're called Safe Havens. Hospitals have the signs posted at the entrances. No questions, no prosecution.

My father-in-law watches her show religiously... Like the only time he'd miss it is if the hawkeyes were playing and even then he'd flip back during commercials. He watches her so much my stepdaughter refers to her as "grandpa's girlfriend." Barf.

Try late teens to early twenties.

Earth. I assume the same as you.

ICK! Star crunches..... Eww eww eww. When I was a kid they were my favorites but.... Let's just say I learned to quit them with indirect help from my brother.

Wow. Are you really that dismissive of another human's life? Your stereo is equivalent to his life?

I feel like your experience is more similar to real life than what the article claims. I worked at JoAnn's for a long time and considered defecting to Hobby Lobby when they came to town. I was a manager and made $11.30/hr (which was pretty good for our area but I literally worked there 8 years starting at $5.50/hr to…

Even if the link is a joke, my point still stands. Anti vaxxers are stupid or selfish. Or both.

sheepish grin I guess refresh is my friend and this new ninja is not. Apparently the lot of you being dicks to me is what I get.

sheepish grin Refresh is my friend. Nukinja is not. Sorry.

I didn't have to. Vaccines do not cause autism. I don't need to visit propaganda site to know that.
