This and the fact that someone in another article is saying that a little girl should be made to face the wall or stay on her knees for 2 hours as punishment for stealing a donut is making me cry.

My boss had a baby a few months after I did and it was pretty surprising to me how different our approaches to it were. I went all AP, co-sleeping, etc. etc, since my husband's the primary earner and I have a lot of job flexibility, but she's the CEO of our company AND the primary caregiver in her family, so she was…

Actually, interesting factoid: 75% of male executives have stay-at-home wives, but 75% of female executives have husbands who work full-time. I'm being lazy and don't want to look up the citation for that, but it comes from a non-partisan study of work and family life in America.

When I went to Japan, there's this service that will hook you up with families and you can either eat dinner in their house or cook a meal with them and then eat with them. It was great! We cooked a soup, "scattered sushi", and fried chicken. I'm definitely going to look for something like this next time I travel…

I agree - it's not that weird. Especially in a year or so after some daring pioneers start reviewing these folks. If I booked a stay in Paris in a room and the host got excellent reviews not only for the clean, quiet space, but for the outstanding suppers, I'd be all over that.

Totally disagree. It makes me think of Anthony Bourdain on No Reservations going to that random woman's house in Brazil and her cooking actual Brazilian food, as opposed to the high end trendy stuff he'd had at a Brazilian chef's restaurant, or what the average tourist will get in tourist trap restaurants. This…

No. That's called her commute. She still has to work after that. It's your work, not hers. She has a whole job to do after she gets off the plane.

So when you put the kid in it's room at night, do you lay by it's side? Because someone could break through the window and steal your baby.

The only way I've ever done AirBnB is to do an entire apartment, not just a room, so my hosts have never been there. My friend and I rented this 2 bedroom apartment in Mallorca a couple years ago and it was incredible - super cheap, huge, amazing views, and the host was always accessible via email (the place had…

You have no idea.

This. The very idea is nauseating me.

How dare you say that everything in the 80's sucked, whilst posting a picture from Heathers. Winona Ryder is proof that the 80's had some redeemable qualities.

Processed sugar is a bigger no-no for paleo than dairy IMO. Butter is not a huge staple of the paleo diet anyway. It is allowable, but strict paleo-ers won't eat much of it. Many people who do paleo do like a 80%-20% on/off of the diet.

I thought it was nasty too, until my brother made it for me, and now I love it.

Just looked it up and dairy is a split for paleos? Some say no, some don't care. At least that's what it says here: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/10/0…

Yeah, but I thought it was all hunter-gatherer-y stuff, right? So like, no agriculture stuff...you know like milk from cows and churning? Maybe I'm taking it to the extreme here, but when I read about it that's the idea I got.

Palm oil is one of the leading ingredients sourced from industries that remove rainforest in southeast asia. For the love of all that matters to the environment I thank you.

I am actually very jelaous of my parents who have been invited to very fancy weddings where drink seem to flow freely, food was delicious and abudant and no "banda" music is ever played near the premises (I am from the place it was born and I am fucking sick to death of it) I have only get one of those fancy events…

bbbbbut Dr. Phil said . . .christ, what an asshole. Dr. Phil and Grudek both.

The early 1980s weren't actually that bad, though! Look at the cast of Family Ties—the things (presumably) normal people wore in their daily lives were pretty good, really.
