I sympathise. it is not dating anymore, it is battle. to think you need to have an exit strategy and maybe a weapon of some kind in your pocket...when you have even fought off a bad date (a Doctor!) in a parking lot.....

Fun to say ones are the best. I was saying another place that when I give statistics help to undergrads I'll say 'pain in the hiney' all the time (mostly in description of the statistics computer program at hand). It makes me giggle, if nothing else.

Every time she says "shitstain" it warms the cockles of my heart.

Me too! By saying that parenting is natural, it automatically sidelines the people who are struggling with finding the right parenting style for their child(ren).

Super easy pregnancy the whole way through and then that. They took her at 38 weeks, and she was under 7 pounds with a perfectly round head. He ended up being the assistant surgeon and told me I broke his streak of turning babies at 11. I told him it was his fault I was getting a huge scar. Needless to say, there was…

Hey, don't hate on the gluten-free. She's an anti-vaxx weirdo to all of us. Having celiac is a separate issue: unlike whatever appears to be in her book, celiac doesn't automatically make you cray-cray. (And I raise my caffeinated, gluten-free cup to you drinking coffee during pregnancy.)

My cloth diapers were just fine and although we had leaks (because of fit or needing more frequent changing), the issue came with irritation. After using disposables for two weeks on vacation overseas, we came back and little one would break out into rashes. We tried lightly bleaching the diapers, but in the end my…

Her reaction shots to Dan in the last episode were so priceless.

Try the G diapers? Flushable line. Cotton outside. Pretty cool, not time consuming. I am usually surprised. No one knows about them

Respect. I plan to have a medicated birth (far in the distant future) and I can't stand the judgy judgment of how "natural" is by virtue of being natural. I understand the pros and cons of both and feel that it is MY decision to make.

Ugh - footling breech beh-behs. Same here. I think the external cephalic version (that he tried three times!) hurt more than the recovery from the c-section. It must have been that one glass of champagne I had at the performance of the "Nutcracker." Totes my fault.

When I had my first kid, I actually read a lot of waste industry research on this because I was curious. Turns out pretty much anything in a landfill sits forever, landfills do not provide the type of environment conducive for things (including biodegradable items) to degrade. Cloth diapering doesn't have a hugely…

I have not encountered a single person driving one of these idiot mobiles who has not behaved like a total douchebag on the road. Not a single one.

This comic sorta sums up my feelings on the whole "ZOMGNATURAL" mindset:

Also, using disposable diapers is requirement at just about any daycare facility. I couldn't afford a nanny to hold my daughter over a bucket all day.

Yeah, my boyfriend (who's been a parent for more than a decade) was like, "I don't know if you're qualified to write a parenting book until you've proven that you've raised not-a-murderer."

Wow. Just wow.

Best thing on the internet today.

I used to enjoyed Audis, but all the Audi drivers here are fucking assholes on the road. Made me hate the cars.
