I think there’s a little puritanical revival going in our culture and weirdly enough it’s led by progressives which hasn’t historically been the case.

This.

This.

Totally get that. I guess I misunderstood your comment as saying you didn’t feel comfortable being away from your kid until they were 3, not that you didn’t have relatives close by who could take care of them. 

I think intensive motherhood is just another way to pressure women back home and curtail their independence and to put even more guilt into parenting. 

Not judging but both seem kind of extreme? Both leaving a two week old newborn with your parents overnight but then also never spending a night away from your kid for three years and never another since. Though I have a friend who didn’t spend a single night apart from her first until she was 6 but she admits that was…

Oh, I didn’t mean to say Allred was a saint (it’s Gloria Allred, FFS), I meant to say she’s not dumping you as a client unless you’re full of shit in a way that means she can’t win your case. Like conspiring with the guy you’re accusing of rape’s wife and saying you were never raped, in writing, multiple times. Which,…

That, and gloria Allred doesn’t dump you as a client unless she knows you’re sus or probably full or shit.

Seriously. If you bring it up you can’t get mad if people ask you about it. 

So you’re saying she’s a nepo baby? ;)

Yeah, what’s the big deal?

This is one time I think it’s really justified though. Most nepo babies are either really good looking or have talent, or both. So it’s not that surprising that they become famous, even if they do have help from their famous parents. Lourdes is average looking at best, has zero style and I have yet to see any signs of…

I didn’t say they’d be eating all solids at 6 months but that by 6 months they’re usually started on solids (and some start earlier than 6 months, around 5 months though in the US 6 months seems to be more common). Most mother I know also start supplementing breast milk with formula and some kind of cereal by 6 months…

Yes. Look around you. Do you know many fathers who take months or even years off work and breastfeed their babies? In pretty much every case it’s mothers who spend significantly more time with infants than fathers. 

Yeah there is absolutely no need for overnight visits with the father for a baby this age. That is total bullshit.

I mean, there’s her social media posts, which are beyond bizarre, not just the videos but the weird incoherent rants, and the fact that her teenage sons refuse to see her and the oldest even did an interview where he publicly begged her to respect their privacy... I think it’s enough to make an educated guess. I agree…

Britney’s not well. And my guess is she’s gone off her meds since the conservatorship ended. I think it’s just a matter of time before she has another mental health crisis, if she hasn’t already, which would explain the absence and the coherent, emoji-less post that was clearly written by her team since it’s…

Remakes don’t have a good track record, let’s face it. It’s mostly lazy and unnecessary. 

Seriously. Why not just re-release old movies for younger audiences? Well, maybe not. Most people, especially my age or younger, are too reactionary and freak out because they insist on viewing decades old movies through a contemporary moral/ethical/political lens. A contemporary Barbarella just doesn’t make sense,…

I mean, it could work if they weren’t a mediocre derivative mishmash of George Michael and Madonna...
