Holy shit! I just went and read that whole thread. This person and others were being absolutely ridiculous and unfair to you. What upsets me more than the people that go around making outrageous accusations like that, is the fact that so many people eat it up.

My baby is nine months old and wakes me up for breakfast in the morning. He also occasionally wakes me up in the middle of the night but I don’t always feel compelled to add that in when people ask how he sleeps. I definitely wouldn’t in a widespread publication where everyone would debate what I’m doing wrong that my…

Sorry her life seems marginally less difficult in this particular instance.

Swing and a miss.

What? I didn’t realize there was an income requirement to be a proper mom?

WTF Jezebel. So she’s got lots of resources. She’s still a mother. She can still be hands on. She didn’t ask to be born in her position.

What’s your point here? That she can’t call herself normal because she’s rich and titled? I mean, why…

I mean, some of my friends dressed like slobs when their babies were born -- completely understandably -- and no princess has that option. Needing to look picture-perfect covered in spit-up is no easy feat.

YES HOW DARE SHE. HOW VERY DARE SHE TALK ABOUT MAKING BREAKFAST AND TAKING HER KIDS TO THE PARK.

I dunno, man- the Scandinavian royals are pretty famously low-key: cycling around town, not much in the way of body guards. Sure they have fantastic jewels and palaces and such, but staff-wise, they’re probably not better off than rich, very rich, and super-rich Americans. I find Princess Madeleine a lot more likable…

“And then we go out to the park and we swing, we try to do a lot of activities because my little Leonore, she has lots of energy, so we have to keep her stimulated and busy.”

Ps. Has anyone else noticed the nastier tone Jez comments have taken recently? A lot harsher and less sympathetic than before the Gawker collapse.

I used to stand up in the back of my dads truck and hold onto the drip rail. We never even wore seat belts until they became mandatory in our state. It’s a different world now.

I am unhappy when I see stuff in trucks that is not properly tied down. I imagine that seeing a person on a mattress on a roof would force to me to pull over and reconsider the whole concept of driving, period.

You’d think it would be awesome, but I spend every second of like an hour-long trip fearing for my life.

Mind you this was in Mexico so the roads were not good to begin with, and the driver was worried that if someone saw us riding in the car that he’d be fired, so he made us lay down in the seats so we wouldn’t be…

Please also do not ride in the open back of a truck, or at least do not let any child in your care do so. The worst thing I have ever seen in my life was a small child who had died because he fell out of the back.

If stupid people are having more kids (which is a hypothesis that I find dubious to begin with), then they are more fit, and their traits will be passed to the next generation (if you believe intelligence is inherited, which is also debatable). This does not go against Darwin’s theory of evolution in any way. He never…

i’ve always wanted to do that.

Who would think to do this?

A word to the wise along a similar strain, though probably much safer: Never agree to ride in the car that’s being towed on a tow truck.

Yep. Plus you can recycle it to tie the 20 y.o to the matress once you get them home.

oh god. people.
