By that logic, monogamous relationships are also selfish, since they are also relationships in which parties have agreed on a relationship style that works for them as individuals - if that is in fact how you're defining selfishness, which is a stupid definition.

So a relationship needs to solve global warming and save the whales in order to be considered mature? What are you talking about?

I am personally in a monogamous relationship and happy that way, but the way you're writing about polyamorous people is quite obnoxious and judgmental. You're decrying them for being judgmental, while at the same time dismissing their relationship choices as selfish, immature, and unable to understand love, just…

What went wrong with them? I'm looking into this now, because I'm pregnant and would like to be loaded up with drugs & painkillers. Anecdotally, about 1/3 of my friends had issues with epidurals not working - some went into the wrong place, some were too late, and some had no effect for some reason. But statistically…

This seems more American, but in Scotland they eat deep fried pizza and candy bars. I think Scotland is like the Texas of the UK.

Nice. This also reads a lot like the pregnancy nutrition advice I'm trying to work through. "Don't increase your calories by very much, and keep a balance between carbohydrates, fats and protein, but also double the amount of protein you eat per day," is one that I'm currently trying to understand right now.

You need to start making comments like "giving up on the day so early?" and "what's the matter, no steam left in ya? Some of us just work through that."

I think that my mother has become more indulgent/involved as I've become older. Before I went on my honeymoon, she sent me daily email reminders to pick up razors, get sunscreen, etc. The last time I was at her house, she frantically interrupted what she was doing to show me how to toast an English muffin. In case…

The overly-anxious parenting that you describe is so harmful, and also the parents who believe that their kids only want something done in a certain way. "She won't eat the sandwich if you don't cut it into heart shapes!" No, she will eat the sandwich, you're just instilling in her obsessive tendencies because you…

Yes - the high school parents sometimes bring out the real helicopter guns right before their kids go to college, when they're struggling with the separation and need something more controllable to be a focus of their attention.

The point is to learn the material.

Fortunately, he doesn't listen to them when I'm around, probably because I never fail to imitate Chris Martin.

He likes Coldplay.

Wait, you can be excused from homicide if you commit it in the "heat of passion"? What is this, Italy?

She is just stunning.

Is that Bob Fossil from the Mighty Boosh?

I'm with you there. I was quite offended when someone asked me if I had been the "Daria" of my high school. Sadly hit close to home as I also have no inflection in my voice.

I think the hair loss or tooth decay dreams are probably a basic fear of mortality, disease and aging.

I am wholeheartedly against the idea of photographing childbirth. The whole thing is revolting. I do not need anyone to see my bloated and pain-wracked body as it rips in two to release a tiny wrinkled human.

In the video, they also say there are 16th and 17th century texts in which people describe how things should be pronounced too - they actually write about how the R should be pronounced.
