I can empathize with doing some dangerous stupid shit because you haven't quite thought it through. We're humans, and humans tend to do dangerous stupid shit.What utterly boggles my mind is that when your own son, whom you're endangering, calls you on it and expresses concern, instead of feeling a wave of shame and…

"Your friend's kids have SO FAR not infected anyone": that she knows of. Rubella, for example, often goes unnoticed in healthy kids because the symptoms are typically not severe, but if a pregnant woman gets infected, the consequences can be lethal for her fetus.

That was my first thought when I first read these news. I gave a try to temporary contact lenses some ten years ago, and I still remember how itchy and uncomfortable my eyes felt at the end of the day and what a relief it was to take them off. Keeping them on for only one night would have been hellish.

This is awesome! I remember wondering as a kid "what period can this outfit possibly be from?" when watching fairy tale cartoons or movies (I was seriously dorky) and getting frustrated because it didn't look like anything I'd seen in any remotely historically accurate illustration. I would have loved that so much.

"His is in the same vein as the people rocking bindis and headdresses at Coachella": for a split second I envisioned someone wearing both at the same time and I thought confusedly: "wait, ...what?'... Yeah, it's too hot and I'm lacking sleep.

*wishing I was eating fancy cheese...

The supposedly unattractive woman played by a very conventionally attractive actress sporting glasses and a bad haircut (and even braces in the case of Betty Suarez; for God's sake, have you ever seen an adult with apparent braces? I haven't). The only two examples that occur to me right now are Betty and Mayim Bialik…

Actually, my first thought was that "international" was irrelevant. This event made the headlines all over the world for weeks. I was born and raised out of the US, and I instantly recognized the picture as would everyone I know (then again, I'm not a millenial).

That was my thought too. I remembered feeling angry a few years ago, when in my home country a baby died from blunt trauma and it was found out during the autopsy that he had been abused practically from birth. It could only have been either his father or his mother because he was never alone with anyone else. The…

NAAAAH, you slim the gigot sleeves of this dress over my cold dead body.

I'm a sucker for gigot sleeves. Sue me.

Um, no. I wouldn't refuse to have my child in the hospital because an overzealous person might call the cops on me (!!!) if I miss a well-baby appointment. It sucks big time, true, but having a dead baby because I didn't make it on time to the hospital should anything go wrong would suck so, much. harder. So, hospital…

Gynecomastia (aka "man boobs") is not "a rare medical condition". It's actually quite common.

Same. He's handsome, but he's chilling and I'm not attracted to him one bit. I'd rather have sex with, say, Bill Bailey.

It never happened to me either, but I absolutely understand how it can happen to the best, most caring parent, Perhaps you lack a little empathy to get that too.

"Back in the days", most people didn't have their babies rear-face in the back seat, which makes them safer but also much easier to forget when you're in autopilot mode. I'm sure things like that did happen, though, albeit perhaps not as much.

Smacking a toddler? That's completely idiotic. He'll only understand that hitting is acceptable since Mommy/Daddy does it — you just have to hit someone weaker. Doesn't mean you can't do anything. What worked well with my son was telling him in a stern voice that it was not acceptable and then removing myself from the…

At first sight I thought it was a reference to Annie Hall
