LURVE the song, but I’m here for just the make-up and edges alone.

Yes! Nice to see some Jezebel love for J*DaVeY. I’ve been a fan of theirs for a few years. Thanks Clover :)

their tastes evolve as they get older. My kid used to love broccoli, but now he’s ‘meh”. He likes beets now, but too messy to send. As long as he eats SOMETHING I don’t care.

I wrote a response to this.

How to make a proposal all about you 101

I would like to edit this but I can't now. It's always a mistake to go into personal parenting fails. I'm not detailing my best moments for you here, I'm keeping it real. I chose not to share the many moments my child and I make up stories together, read books for hours, and have tickle fights and play Candy Land.

I am really glad she is doing this. Lewinsky seems to have finally found a career, a path for herself. She deserves it, too, she was totally thrown under the bus by the Clintons, by the media, by the so-called feminists of the time. And I'm sure her sharing her experience will help others. Can't wait to see the Ted…

One thing that struck me from reading Sidney Blumenthal's book, The Clinton Wars, was that Monica Lewinsky was a lot smarter than the prosecutors had expected. They thought it would be easy to trap her into incriminating Clinton, but she turned out to be very focused and certain in her testimony. She made the lawyers…

You'll find that the people doing the oppressing always want to start the narrative at a convenient part, or always want to start the story in the middle.

I have a 5 year old who I have taken for fast food probably about 8 times in her entire life. I don't give a damn if you think I'm a shitty parent but you sound like an asshole.

Privileged check, please. There's enough research into food deserts and poverty to show that for many people, the crap on the dollar menu at BK or McD's or whatever, is the only option, especially between shifts at crap jobs or when you live in an area where your options are drive many miles (or take public transit)…

No, this is false. I have two kids, and I take full-time care of both of them. The kid will not forget about the pie. That is not how kids work. And punitively making the mother's day worse is not going to do a thing for the kid. Stop making stupid concern-troll excuses for sociopathic behavior.

Overall I agree with you but when I was having issues breast feeding I turned to my mom who had nursed all of her kids including me. Her response: "I don't know, I just put you guys to the breast and you did it." Made me feel like an even bigger failure! (That wasn't her intention but combined with postpartum hormones…

The BEST advice I got from an LC was that breastfeeding was like doing a hard school project with someone you've never met; it will probably take you a while to learn how to do it and figure out how to work together.

Dude, yes! One of my besties had to deal with this guilt and feeling like she was a failure as a mom with her first born. I know this is a seemingly benign and lovely statement, but I feel with a lot of what people say about motherhood (and pregnancy) there should be an added "for me" after the statement. "Breast…

I have the same gut reaction when I read that. I am happy for the women who feel that way and find it to be easy, good for them, but for me it was not natural in the least. I never felt I was doing it right, it felt very unnatural to me. In fact when I see women breastfeeding I immediately feel uncomfortable not…

I'm sending your post to a friend of mine, who cried for two weeks (and consulted 3 experts) because she couldn't get her baby to understand breast-feeding.

I think breastfeeding used to be a lot simpler for women. I read a statistic the other day that at least a third of all new mothers had never seen a woman breastfeeding before they suddenly had to. Formula made breastfeeding a foreign concept to the last couple of generations, and fewer women have the help of their…

Correction. Breast feeding is not "the most natural thing."

It is hard and frustrating, and emotionally-wrenching when you don't do it right, and it does not come easy to most women. It is the very opposite of natural. If it were natural, LCs (lactation consultants) wouldn't be making a KILLING helping moms who can't…

It's really hard to judge whether someone is acting against medical advice with good reason without having access to their personal medical records, which obviously we're not entitled to here. But after having a shocking number of friends post on Facebook that they're not vaccinating their children because they've…
