This idea wins all of the points.

I can get on board with what you did. You're rewarding the behavior, but this thing they're talking about does the opposite— it punishes for what is deemed "bad" behavior. It's not positively motivating. I know they're doing research at ASU right now using the FitBit, and when people aren't close to their goal steps…

Yeah, but how are her baby-making pipes? Are they all filled with premium cobwebs, or filled with putrid fertility?

(For the record, I didn't interpret your disclosure of having had a home birth as preachy)

And I totally agree. CHOICES. I love it.

Isn't there research that shows that shaming people into positive behavior change does not result in lasting behavior change? Look, I'm for people getting as healthy as they can, and that is absolutely going to look totally different for each person (and the level of "healthy" will also look different— I'm looking at…

Home births for the win! (Also for the win— any kind of birth that makes you the most comfortable. After this kid, I'll have a hospital birth, two home births, and a birthing center birth. Collect them all!)

I realize that there are a lot of other words in this article, but all I'm fixated on is "honey vanilla with rose petals." OHEMGEE this place sounds DIVINE and WHY WHY WHY is it not in this preggo's vicinity?! Friggin Coldstone is my only option in my neck of the woods.

My favorite kind of comment PSA.

I feel so much love for you in this moment.

I feel like you should have your adult card (seeing rated R movies, buying alcohol, voting, that sort of thing) revoked when you say things like, "My daddy knows some pretty important people."

Now, I don't instagram, or tweet, or whatnot, but from what I know, you can use multiple hashtags, right? So I wonder if guests use the creative hashtag the couple came up with, and then also use generic hashtags (like, wedding). I wonder if that's contributing to the issue the writer is describing.

I thought being pregnant would do it. But I was harassed the other day, 25 weeks (and very obviously) pregnant, pushing my other kid in a stroller. And it was about a thousand degrees, so, sweaty, AND I was wearing a t-shirt and a long skirt. Zero things conventionally attractive about me. I just don't... I just…

It bothers me that there is accusation of being potentially prudish, whether by his implication or your own. Why is it being a prude, a term that typically has a negative connotation, when you are uncomfortable with something? Why is honoring your discomfort and personal autonomy something worthy of insult? Should I…

C.A., I've had a really rough day, and even more difficult evening, and I just want to say how grateful I am to come on here and read someone so boldly expressing all the things that I wish I had the courage to say if I weren't so worn out from all the loud, awful people berating me for saying them.

So thank you.…

I LOVE this!

LOVE this. So much. My four year old and two year old BOTH want the red chair at their little table during meals, but there's only one red chair. I love hearing their little conversations about how the brother gets the chair this time, because he didn't get it last time. They're learning to be considerate of one…

... so now the issue is getting publicity, so other managers of other establishments who may not have known about the laws protecting those in need of service animals won't be jerks? Because education? Because awareness?

I think it's worse because they know how to push your buttons, and you feel this biological obligation to endure abuse because, well, similar DNA. Or something. Ugh. Glad your parents understood.

Oh my gosh. My pregnant self made the horrid mistake of walking the children to the park instead of driving, and discovered the hard way that my weather app LIED and it was 100* instead of 91*.

Forget eating the ice-cream sandwiches. I want to just take a bath in them.

She's grown up. A lot. So we actually have a decent relationship now. I was fortunate to have a blunt therapist who informed me it was a toxic situation and I needed to get out.
