I’ve saw one of these videos when I attended a lecture given by Orlan way back in art school. Everyone in the video was smoking cigarettes while she was getting surgery! A girl attending the lecture fainted while watching!

I went to a talk given by Orlan when I was in art school back in the day. She showed video of herself (the video itself was an art piece) getting surgery without anesthesia. Another student attending the lecture actually fainted while watching!

All I know is my son better say this about me later in life. Because, duh.

So my trickiest time would be nap time because I still nurse him to sleep (I don’t at bedtime - don’t scold me please!). He is capable of going down for a nap without if someone else is putting him down though. Also, we are still struggling with him sometimes waking up once a night & wanting to nurse. I’m down with…

Do you have any advice for weaning a 20 month old who is obsessed with boobs? I'm sooooooo over it but too lazy to put up with the initial fallout that will happen. I probably could have easily weaned him around 12 months because he didn't seem to care as much then, but I wasn't ready. . . Oh the regret!

My baby got his first 2 teeth at 4 months. It was not a big deal.

Mmm, that's not really the way it works. You aren't supposed to stop giving a baby breastmilk or formula just because they've become interested in solids if they are under 1.

I’m still nursing my 20 month old but sooooooo fucking over it. I’m just too lazy to put up with the tears & hysteria that will ensue when I cut him off. I missed the easy weaning window I probably had when he was around 12 months & now he's breast obsessed. Ugh.

I'm still nursing my 20 month old and I'm desperate to stop & have my boobs belong to me & me only. I never planned to be the hippie mom nursing a toddler (not that there's anything wrong with it) but I missed the window when it would have been easy to wean my kiddo right around 12 months because I wasn't ready. Oh…

Not really disagreeing with you sport.

Lol to the line “why are you the only one that speaks with a Texas accent?” That made me snort!

Politics aside, I think Barbara B is one badass bitch.

I kind of appreciate Barbara B’s unapologetic not-niceness. Even her grandchildren seem to think she’s a hard ass. Actually it makes me miss my own hard ass (beloved) departed grandmother!

You seem to spend a lot of time thinking about Jaden Smith, so I guess I'll take your word for it.

Yes to the special snowflake status but you live in a special utopian world that I’ve yet to join where it’s a easy for male, hell, a young black male at that, to wear a dress & feminine clothes just because he feels like it. Of course, his status & wealth insulate Jaden Smith from the backlash he might receive if he…

What an insightful comment!

I used to write him & his sister off as obnoxious & horribly over-indulged, and while they are certainly that, I'm sort of enjoying how comfortable he is not conforming to seemingly anything.

Meh, I think there is plenty of room for both. I’ve bitched about how obnoxious & over-indulged those Smith kids are before, but I’m kind of digging how hard it is to put my finger on Jaden Smith’s particular brand of gender-bending is.

Avery has an IQ of 70. I just watched part of the documentary the other day where they state that. It sounds like his nephew’s IQ hadn't been established, but is likely lower than that.

Not even sort of comparable. Of course this man shouldn’t be declared based solely on the documentary. But your Duggars’ comparison is so off base, it renders your comment absurd.
