Backpfeifengesicht (German): A face badly in need of a fist.

But as I’ve said, it isn’t helpful, morally, to think of embryos as property.

guys hes not wrong

Carly will only pretend to give a shit if it polls well. Honestly, it’s in the GOP’s best interest not to support Planned Parenthood. Their entire platform is appealing to angry white men by being anti-gay, anti-black, anti-woman, anti-foreigners.

I think most people eventually learn that their parents, particularly their mothers, are not the most objective source for such information. My mother thinks I’m so beautiful that she’s convinced I could have modeled (I’m 5’3”) or been a movie star. “You look like Natalie Portman, but prettier!” (Ed. note: No I…

Oh that’s probably exactly what it was, subsidized because single parent. I only had it for a couple of years, decades ago, and I can’t remember how low the fee was. I do remember I got it through the state unemployment office. I heard about by word of mouth from another mother because, of course, the state wasn’t…

I have such fond memories of the time I spent at my grandparents’ as a kid. In my case, they WERE neglectful, but it always felt like good neglect to me. My cousin, however, does have a story of how when she and her brother (8 and 5 or so), were once bored at Grammy’s, they got ahold of some matches and set the barn…

Eh. My grass is only that green from that one week after that Chem-lawn treatment. My dad was a Vietnam vet with RAGING PTSD and misdiagnosed as manic depressive until I was about 13. My mom is a co-dependent pill addict. BUT for all my parents crazy, they were wise enough to allow my maternal grandparents and my…

That actually sounds great, and we love making enough for leftovers too. But I have friends who will literally, and I mean literally, make one kid pancakes, one kid eggs and one kid fruit salad for breakfast. Then make even more elaborate and varied meals for dinner. This often includes two meals made for one kid…

Movie theater. Cheap grocery store cupcakes, bargain matinee tickets, dollar store boxes of candy as goodie bags. Easiest , cheapest, most enjoyable birthday party I've ever given my kids.

Yeah, maybe don't leave those folks in charge... Sorry they aren't more capable for you.

You aren’t mommying wrong but you are maybe implying others are? I’m currently (but not much longer) staying at home with a tornado of a toddler. It’s exhausting as fuck & I suck at entertaining him. So sometimes I look for inexpensive alternatives to my house & the park. And I hate (and can’t afford) all the lame…

Tell me about it! I let my 6 year old and 4 year old play in our fully fenced backyard while I was in the kitchen making dinner. The glass door and all the windows face the backyard so I could see them the whole time. My concerned neighbour still felt the need to stop over and remind me that they could be kidnapped.

The thing is with income inequality, it’s almost criminal not to make sure your kids have every advantage possible. Years ago, Johnny C-student could still live in a modest house with a decent standard of living. Now, Johnny C-student might be able to rent an apartment on the edges of the good-side of town. In 20…

Not to mention how some parents are getting in trouble with the law. I googled,” parents arrested for children playing alone outside.” And got a shitton of results. And we weren’t talking 3-4 year olds, one story was a with an 11 year old child. Parents facing felony charges and possibly losing their kids for having…

Can we add “too judged”? Because parents that try to let their kids fall down and be more feral and learn from their mistakes get arrested now. Somewhere along the line we made imperfect parenting a crime.

troll don’t engage

Before the Holocaust, America was the world’s leader in forced sterilization — in fact, Hitler gave the head doctor of the movement an award for inspiring his work with the Jews. We sterilized homeless people, prostitutes, the mentally ill, the Deaf, anyone considered undesirable and not worthy of reproducing.

this is so incredibly sad. the medical system is broken and so is everything else if someone would make this choice.

I hope he’s also lying about running for President.
