Genuinely speaking...what is the Republicans’ soul exactly? They’re supporting a child molester so they can pass a tax plan getting called irresponsible in the pages of Forbes.

if you’d read the article you wouldn’t have to wonder, because the “treatment” is described in great detail.
But isn’t that the point? Abuse is a person of power, authority, and trust, misusing that power, authority, trust in a way that harms the abused. Nassar used the pretense of “medical care” to molest women, just as men like Weinstein used their power of fame and fortune to molest women. It’s purely about power over the…
A shitton of people should go to jail over this but I’m having a hard time coming up with a fitting punishment for Nassar that doesn’t involve something out of Se7en.
I don’t believe that just because the child isn’t allowed to sleep in the parents bed, means that the parents are closed off. I am always available to my daughter, no matter where/what and she knows it. She knows I love her and I show her affection throughout all our time together, but bed time is a time for rest and…
I was lucky, in a way, in that our first kids were twins and co-sleeping was never even an option. They also had each other as company for a long time, until they were big enough to need separate beds. So they never slept in our bed, not even once, and we never had any trouble at all getting the next kid to follow…
Is that the same AAP that cannot decide whether kids should sleep on their backs/stomachs/or sides to prevent SIDS?
In our case if was my wife’s idea. From a very young age, our girls made noise when they slept, and my wife is a light sleeper. Waking up in the middle of the night to feed is going to be an inconvenience no matter what. And since feeding was from both breast and bottle (pumped breast milk), I was up almost as often…
Keep babies in your room for up to 6 months?
I’m such an asshole about this because the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a lot of things that don’t jive with our country’s current state of maternal care/leave. If you get 6 weeks off chances are you’re going to stop breastfeeding and want the kid in their own room so you can function at your job that you…
You must not have been in college between the years 2001-2008
Thank you John Oliver, for being courageous. There are interviewers out there who won’t even stand up to a pedophile or the president who supports him and I can’t wait for you to interview Trump, any Trump, any Trump at all (through blood or through marriage).
This is what being an ally looks like! Thank you, John Oliver, for using your privilege to hold Hoffman accountable. For any men wondering ‘what do I do’, this is it. You speak up and don’t let abusers get away with idiotic responses.
Yeah, I’m pregnant and I didn’t realize how many people other than Mayim Bialik choose to have babies/kids sleep in bed with them until our friends started asking us what we were going to do. I had always assumed it was something that accidentally happened to people when their kids had nightmares. I can’t really…
Sleep in the room. Not the bed. My son slept in our room for several months after he was born but it was always in a small crib at the end of the bed not in the bed with us. My wife was always fearful of rolling over on him. I’m just a light sleeper and he moves a lot so if he’s in the bed i can’t sleep.
Wait - totally not bashing you as a parent... but why doesn’t your 5 year old have a big girl bed?
I needed this article SO bad and can’t wait to forward to my husband.
Fantastic article. Soooo happy to come read this and NOT see someone recommending to let your kid sleep with you. Ever. Extreme illness can possibly be allowed as a RARE exception. I can count on one hand (with fingers left over) how many times my kids have spent a night in my bed. Don’t even keep the babies in the…
I didn’t realize this was a thing until I heard a coworker complaining about being kept up all night by their kid(s!) in their bed. And some of them were pushing 9 and 10 years old. Different strokes for different folks, but at our house our bedroom is our domain.
When our kids occasionally come in in the middle of the…
