Slut Panic is one of best feminist punk band names since Pussy Riot.

I'm gonna get 'pizza' tattooed on my arm. That love will NEVER die.

PLEASE don't give anybody any ideas.

I'm waiting for the GOP to demand proof that she's actually a woman.

Different kinds of interactions, reinforcement and teaching at different stages of development, I suppose. In the first year, you're learning a lot about how YOU should do things (change a diaper, set a schedule, feed the baby, etc.)? Second year, you're learning how to teach the KID to do things (eat with a spoon,…

This sounds very familiar. Tobey Maguire's family does this, I (randomly) remember. I also remember someone describing a situation where no one stepped in while some kid destroyed a classroom or something until one mom was like, "Okay, he's crossed the line now, what the hell is wrong with you people?!"

There is a lot about parenting that is instinctual. But sometimes it's nice to learn "best practices".

I am glad someone else thinks of seaweed every time Nori comes up.

Normal people *do* take parenting classes. Most of the time it's basically a chance to hang out with other parents and talk about what's going on with your kids, and sometimes get some guidance from therapists and child development types. I've never been, but I know some moms who found it really helpful. Besides the…

No clue. My guess is it's a place where famous people with mad money can go to feel normal. So Mommy & Me but nobody is going to side-eye you because they all have nannnies. I'm thinking of it as more of the Mom Experience for people with $$$$$.

I clicked through to the article (apparently it's a slow morning for me) and it was called, "baby and parent" classes. That made me think it's one of those Mommy and Me type deals where it's basically a big play date where I guess you learn stuff too?

Fair enough, I can see a class aimed at celebrities as being pretty "New Agey-y" and silly. A genuine parenting class would be great, though, since we don't live in multi-generational homes anymore, and there've been some recent changes in the way we understand childhood and adolescence.

I would rather have people go to parenting classes than just assume they know best when they really don't like the majority of parents do.

I assumed it was like the parenting class Homer and Marge have to take, where they learn that strangulation=bad and milk should be stored in the refrigerator. Or, failing that, a cool , wet sack.

Would parenting classes really be such a bad idea? Some knowledge on childhood development would have really helped out my parents who always expected me to act like I was 35.

OHHHH TLC the musical group, not TLC the channel. Makes much more sense.

Only sort of related, but am I the only person who just can't get into Instagram? Twitter finally justified itself when I said something nice about Yvette Nicole Brown and she replied with a smiley face. That was neat. But Instagram? My mind just cannot process that many photos. If a photograph is interesting enough…

NOT ALL SKINNY PEOPLE!

One thing that gets on my nerves is women who won't let other women eat in peace. The ones that look at your plate always and watch everyone eat. If you have a salad, they shit on you for eating just a salad. If you eat pizza, they give you shit for eating pizza. "Are you really going to eat that greasy thing? Really,…

Oh hooray. First one to make my high metabolism-having sister cry WINS... a punch in the face.
