I did not mean that as an insult to singles or to insinuate that singles do not strive to be the best in their particular field. What I was saying is that there may be more pressure to succeed when providing for a family. Getting laid off or transitioning between jobs would hurt more to someone supporting a family.

Is there something in the study that attributes this increased productivity with pressure to perform to support the family? Maybe the childless men and women are less productive because they are only supporting themselves and therefore don't need that promotion to make the mortgage payments, car payments, and save for…

Rules for walking down the street:

I took a marketing/branding class in college and a big example of brands failing internationally was when Gerber sent case loads of baby food to poor African countries with that adorable baby on the label. See, in that part of the world cans were usually labeled with a picture of the contents since many people were…

That's great! I always read it as so-and-s0 digging through a garbage dumpster, throwing refuse hither and yon until... "ah-HA! There you are old friend." Then they scoop up a loose pile of skin in a sparkly Givenchy dress, pick a banana peel off the breast, and triumphantly hop out of the dumpster ready to show their…

Oh its SOOOOOOOOO cute! My 2 year old insisted (loudly) yesterday that she needed her uuumbwewah because it was raining. Today she took a whole minute to spit out the word "wain coat". She owns neither an umbrella nor a rain coat.

Love this!!! My step son always said "penis" and when my daughter was born he continued to call her crotch "her penis." The only issue we had was explaining how babies get into tummies when I was pregnant. He didn't remember his parents together so the whole "when a mommy and daddy love each other very much..."…

I showed my toddler a picture of her dad when he was 17 and had no beard and big poofy white boy fro. She refused to believe it was him!

that side eye she gives him!

Ok, I didn't pretend I lived in a Pinterest stained glass house, but I had a similar situation to your friend. Everyone was super surprised when I announced that my husband and I were divorcing. Everyone thought we were the perfect little family. Sorry guys, I'm not gonna blast my husbad's cheating, my therapy, money…

"my spanx are so far up my crotch i'm pregnant with those polyester footies they give you at shoe stores."

If you think a 2-year-old is going to sit patiently in a salon chair while her hair gets relaxed, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

I had it when i was 12 at a fancy restaurant. All i remember is that it was covered in gravy. Like a ton of gravy. Basically i really remember the taste of the gravy. I liked it though! gamey and flavorful like duck or dark meat chicken.

My stepson was so excited to be a big brother then super disappointed when this tiny poopy wiggly baby came out and couldn't play with him immediately. He made it his mission to teach her how to play with his toys and to read her stories. She's 2 now, he's 7, and he says he likes her better older cuz she can play with…

This is so cute! Bonus: it would be a great ad for their facility! Shows off the beautiful property, "happy" residents, and a sense of fun and community that everyone got together to make this video! I'm sure business will be booming!

My sister rented a copy of Pretty Woman for the visually impaired from the library. There was a running commentary track where some nice lady described what was happening on the screen, It was the absolute best thing I've ever seen.

placentas 'n' cream? I.U.Delicious? Caramel coat hanger swirl?


I need to stop thinking of abortion themed ice cream flavors at work.

This is great. This is a decision I had to confront when at 13 weeks some test results indicated my baby had a high risk of having a chromosomal abnormality (risk factor went from 1 in 6,000 to 1 in 13). Further tests revealed that my daughter was fine but for about 2 weeks I was forced to contemplate terminating my…

Does "contraception" include vasectomies as well? Are we just discussing short term contraception such as IUD, Depo, or the pill or does it also include permanent contraception such as vasectomies, tubal ligation, or hysterectomy?

I spent far too many years in retail! During my last month in retail at a large hipster oriented apparel retailer I was working the register and very obviously 8 months pregnant. A customer asked about my unborn child, wished me well, and asked if he could add us to his prayers. Now, I'm a non practicing Jew but I'm…
