1) The headline is needlessly sensationalist. It makes it sound like the mom let her kid play in the backyard by herself while mom worked inside or some shit. Or that she let her daughter ride her bike around the neighborhood for 30 minutes.

Eh I am on the fence. Leaving your child unattended for a full work day. Eight hours of just a child alone? Especially that young. Would we be ok if the child was left at home that long, probably not. I dont see why it is ok that she is left in a park alone.
Okay, so, it's kind of ridiculous to arrest the mom, but it is NOT okay to leave a nine-year-old alone for hours without supervision.
You forgot the worst one: The Dry Wedding.
It's not about refusing the kid a pink sippy cup to be a controlling dick.
In every other relationship we endeavor we are told to go out of our way to please the other person — marriages and friendships are defined by how generous and caring we aim to be.
That's preferable, but dude - life is busy. A choice can't be pre-offered in all scenarios. I have two and I can't tell you how many times I ask who wants what cup and they both say they want the angry birds cup. There is only one angry birds cup. I don't think it's a bad thing to learn that you don't always get what…
I get her point in that the parent shouldn't be afraid of their child's tantrum and give in. I get that she is speaking out against the parent creating more work for themselves (now there are 2 sippy cups to wash).
I think the standard should be, "If an adult made this request or stated this preference, would you honor it?" For instance, most adults have a few foods that they don't like to eat, and that is reasonable. If I were cooking for someone who hated mushrooms, I would be happy to avoid mushrooms to please them. …
I have a friend who says his 2 year old will only eat oreos and mac and cheese. She just "doesn't like" vegetables and fruit. Well, how the hell does your 2 year old even know that oreos exist? Does she sneak out to the grocery store on her own? This couple are so afraid of crying that they will feed their…
Actually in this case I think she is right. Its being very simple here but parents DO drop everything at the minor whim of their child in fear of a tantrum and kids are fucking SMART they see this and realize the threat of a tantrum = mom and dad doing something for me.
I like to think I'm a pretty intelligent guy. I went to a good university, am a professional type, do pretty well at shouting out the answers to jeopardy before my boyfriend(provided the category is potent potables or Famous Hockey Players named Gordie or what have you) but...what the fuck does it mean to live a…
If I say "Kim Kardashian" into the mirror three times, is this what appears? *shudders*
Um, taking a four month old to a concert like this is just irresponsible. I can manage 0 outrage here.
Good grief it doesn't have to be metal to be loud. The speakers are louder the closer to the stage, too. Don't take your baby to a concert. Get a sitter. Not every situation is child appropriate/friendly.
The 8-year-old should have hearing protection also, but especially the baby. This woman has super bad judgement.
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.
I assumed that Kim Kardashian meant that if you leave the house as a pregnant woman and dare to have any pregnancy style whatsoever that someone will pick you to pieces.
How does this girl bounce back from something like this? I mean having witnessed your ENTIRE FAMILY killed in front of you? I just can't even imagine. It's horrifying. My seventh grade science teacher was in a car crash that killed her husband and three children. She survived, and I can't even imagine how she went on…
