I think it's weird that there was so much questioning of whether it was normal for a 3-year-old to be wearing a diaper. I don't know if it was all ill-intentioned - I'd have to assume the majority of it wasn't - but it seems very judge-y and sanctimommy-ish. I mean, the article was about a kid driving a car into a

I just wanted to wish you lots of good luck to be where you want ASAP. I was back with my folks for a few months and it was so frustrating. Hope it ends very soon!

That is crazy beyond belief. Thanks!

Dumb luck, my son is a rockstar sleeper. We're talking 10-12 hours every night, guaranteed. We did cry it out once and he was sold. It's dumb luck. I am thankful beyond measure but I know full well I had basically nothing to do with it. I wish all of you new parents the same dumb luck! :)

Hope you have a comfortable and easy pregnancy! Congratulations! :)

I promise, I'm a bigger wuss - but they know that, and they'll be gentle and make you feel as comfortable as possible, and then, suddenly, bliss.

My epidural was a mix of every orgasm I'd ever had, and sunshine, and Nutella.

What the fuck is a shadow wedding? I do not believe this is really a thing.

I bring earplugs. Nothing fancy but does the trick.

A four month old baby absolutely needs ear protection. Doesn't matter what kind of concert. Nursing in public, I've got no problem with that, but without ear protection at a concert baby's hearing can be irreversibly harmed.

There's already #jadacounterpose. (Not kidding.)

I am not trying to claim that the religions are justified in their actions nor am I making any assessments of the presence, absence, or role of God, in holy texts or now. What I am saying is, the insane degree to which holy texts are interpreted to mean something absolutely not inherent in the text, means that it is

Perfectly stated and I'm with you on the nature of forgiveness. Thanks.

There is a difference between a text being sexist and a text being oppressively misogynist and dangerous. A sexist text is disappointing to me because it reminds me that if sexism hadn't started so long ago we wouldn't have to continue to fight for equality. At the same time, it is the interpretation that is usually

In the case of some religions, the misogyny is not inherent in the sacred texts, but the (mis)interpretation. For instance, a law in a holy book has to be interpreted, and while the law may be general, the interpretation becomes specific and limiting to women.

It's really hard being home with a kid. Please try not to feel guilty (easier said than done, of course!) and whatever support systems you have in place, reach out. I loved being home with my son for maybe 14-15 months. Since then, though, he's so active and really needs peer engagement, and I just can't provide it

When I read this earlier, I hugged my son so hard I thought I scared him. I also thank God that I have health insurance and good mental healthcare to treat my postpartum depression, and I am also grateful I'm returning to work after staying home with my son because it's making me crazy and I know my limits. I have

...yet.

I love, love, love the Starwood Preferred Guest American Express card. We usually find pretty cheap airfares online, and then use our SPG AMEX points - which accrue very quickly! - to cover hotels. Our best uses of points: Weekend at the W in NOLA, right smack in the middle of the French Quarter! and almost a week

Ew. What a not funny and generally shitty thing to do.
