My husband’s grandpa worked for American airlines and they flew standby as kids all the time. They dressed up. It was required because you may end up traveling in first class. These folks were flying for almost free. People feel so entitled. I dress comfy to fly because the airline industry makes flying extremely…

I just got a pair of “blush” sneakers. I had no idea. Note: I am not a millennial.

Every kid and every parent is different. That said we trained our son at just over 2. It took about 2 weeks of serious effort and another month of work. It was totally worth it. When all people had were cloth diapers all kids trained before 2.

And the Environment wept.

We also have beer and we’re not all Walker voters, so please come back soon!

My family is Jewish. My last name is Jewish. I gave my children Hebrew names. This is horrifying. I will also say I had planned to join my local JCC to use the pool and gym and take my kids to play. I am having serious concerns about whether that is currently a good idea and that makes me super sad.

If these people were really worried about the safety of children and (biologically male) predators exploiting open bathrooms to assault our daughters, then shouldn’t we already be freaking out because these sexual predators are in public bathrooms with our sons!? It just shows the sexism inherent in their transphobia.…

I teach philosophy. You get an A+ in trolley problems for the day.

Nope, I’m the parent who commented about the planes with no changing tables because I assumed that had to be the situation. Once the clarification was made about the availability of changing facilities, I readily agreed with the original poster.

Well then, yes, that person is horrible, I agree completely.

So, parent here. Most of the small regional planes have nowhere for you to change a baby. Leaving your baby to sit in their own feces while they scream is actually probably a good reason to call the cops. Certainly unpleasant for everyone on the flight to have the parent have to change it in the cabin, especially the…

Sadly, I think I’m the actual target audience for this doll. I’m an almost forty-year-old mom with two little boys. I never had an American girl doll (there were only three to choose from, I wanted Molly). I want to buy this, even though I know it is ridiculous.

Yes to all of this. Been there done that twice. Have two amazing kiddos. Would never wish anyone to have to be pregnant who didn’t want to be because pregnancy (and sorry to report) recovery from childbirth is a major burden that no one should have to endure if she doesn’t want to. Good luck with everything! It’s…

What about stand your ground? If we use the same logic, then I can, in self-defense justifiably kill a person in my house if I feel threatened even if I initially invited them in. Boom. Too bad this guy does not speak logic. 

She coauthored it with Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father. So I believe it is correct.

I do not watch this show but I think it’s wonderful that this couple shared their story. Miscarriage is extremely common and not talked about nearly enough. Hugs to all who know this pain. It is truly awful and life changing to lose a wanted pregnancy.

I am also loving the UD perversion but if I don’t use a setting spray it’s all over my face instantly, and even then it can get smudgey. I’m also a big fan of tarte lights camera lashes/splashes.

Here in Wisconsin our delightful attorney general’s office actually created an entire solicitor general’s department to deal with all of those taxpayer bankrolled bullshit law suits. Isn’t democracy wonderful?

Take that back! I’m raising two little boys in Wisconsin. I also work for the evil UW system teaching courses with objectionable syllabus content, so take from that what you will.

I feel you. Last year I got a sinus infection while pregnant with number 2 and nursing number 1. The midwife actually told me to go for the good stuff and I did and number 2 seems none the worse for it.
