Look at the picture - IT’S HER ENTIRE LOWER HALF, SHE DOES NOT HAVE A BABY WITH A TWO-INCH LOWER HALF

It’s the space under the seat in front of you - have you ever flown? The flight attendants specifically say this. You can’t use the space under your own seat.

I’m being sassy but I do agree, and it annoys me to think that I might pay that to bring a small dog on a flight (because I need to as much as the mother of a child, potentially), and then the person in front of me would claim a spot that is completely understood to belong to me as carry on space. I’d probably end up…

They are, though.

No, I think she’s saying the same thing - the space under the seat in front of her is her space. That’s why there are metal brackets under the seats, to keep the luggage of the person behind from rolling forward.

Right so her kid doesn’t get my dog’s space.

Oddly, I’d much rather hear crying children then forfeit my carry-on storage space under the seat in front of me. I don’t feel it’s reasonable for you to expect that you can take that space from the person behind you. If there’s no room in the overhead, my bag is going under the seat in front of me - and you’re out of…

Seems like he/she is giving you really good advice though relating to the health of your child. Though your idea seemed like a really good one.

Ah, that’s what bugs me about it - the attention whoring.

I always want to be so open and positive when I see this stuff, but I have a sibling with BPD, and sometimes this stuff screams BPD to me.

Eh, I have a feeling there’s a chance for them should they want it. I’m not entirely buying the cult argument with them - there are plenty of small families around who feel the same, and fundie churches with those rules.

Ugh. From the Daily Beast:

Oh no, feminism and the plight of women at that time are a main theme. My mother worked in advertising in NY during that time, as a secretary and hand model - I’m kind of afraid for her to start watching it, may bring a lot of frustration back to the surface.

Right.

Did you read the piece? She basically explains that. Women are much more free now.

This one is so pretty!

I hate my ankles - long live the maxi dress!

Me too!

I just entered my ultra right wing conspiracy theorist cousin; is that so wrong?

That made me so mad - he was justifiably angry
