I would really like a suspicious coat of my own. That kelly green color is delightfully multi-seasonal.

I'm really tired of people who don't understand the way employer insurance works. Women pay for their own birth control already. A woman who has employer based insurance gets that insurance as part of her compensation package for the work she does. She pays for that insurance through her work for the company. It…

They are proposing a bill that would allow women to have a right that they already have, while subtly legitimizing the denial of women's right to access basic health care (and yes, trolls, birth control is basic health care.)

So as a person who admittedly took part in this kind of teasing, do you have any thoughts on what would stop this? I get that kids will tease each other (I was teased a lot in school). But SHIT. This stuff goes beyond anything I experienced getting picked on. I see studies that show young kids are more and more…

How is this not distribution of child pornography?

This is so damn heartbreaking it's killing me. My boy is not yet 3 and I am weeping for these parents and my future self and my kid's future and the pain this boy was in. Just... Aaaaahhhh.

Ugh, my partner and I got into so many arguments about this when we first started dating. He goes out of his way to maintain friendships with people who are out of his life because they are shitty people. This is in no way limited to exes, but there is a lot more sting in it there, whereas I can just roll my eyes…

My parents gave me freedom, when it was deserved. Basically, it was their way only until I was 14. At that point, they gave me almost total freedom (with guidelines). They taught me to be a respectful, polite person who understood that you don't always get what you want. Then I hit highschool and they went "it's…

My incontinent cocker spaniel that constantly gets the cat food when we turn our backs is going to be so angry when we get one of these.

No. That is pretty much the exact opposite of what that anecdote tells us.

When we get to the end of the year to pick our favorite stories of 2014, this will be one of mine. Not the assy way the media has reported on Jay, but this exact story of this family supporting their son. His mom rocks.

You forgot the worst one: The Dry Wedding.

I'm glad she realised what was happening and is on the right track now. I can understand vegans not wanting to follow a blog that becomes non-vegan; but bollocks to the people who tried to make her feel bad (never mind the threats).

The numbers reported by CNN represent one one-hundredth of one percent of the 300,000 people we have employed during this time period.

1 ACTUAL Reason Modern-Day Parenting Is In Crisis

I think the standard should be, "If an adult made this request or stated this preference, would you honor it?" For instance, most adults have a few foods that they don't like to eat, and that is reasonable. If I were cooking for someone who hated mushrooms, I would be happy to avoid mushrooms to please them. …

I am accommodating when it is harmless and would be more trouble to refuse to accommodate her just to prove that I can. Because I know I can. I have zero issues saying no when necessary.

Actually in this case I think she is right. Its being very simple here but parents DO drop everything at the minor whim of their child in fear of a tantrum and kids are fucking SMART they see this and realize the threat of a tantrum = mom and dad doing something for me.
