Just FYI there is a known link to suppression of inflammatory/autoimmune disorders when pregnant. It's how we keep from attacking our fetus. (Side note: I know it's a horrible idea, but I want to see if I can eat foods that I'm normally allergic to when I become pregnant).

Getting the low hanging fruit out of the way.

It sounds like, either way, you run a legitimate risk of ending up exhausted and cleaning up poop. Damned if you do, dammed if you don't.

The boy's dress code seems much more restrictive. The girl's dress code only needs more paragraphs because its more open ended at allowing them to craft their own outfits as opposed to the dress shirt, dress slacks, dress shoes, tie and mandatory shaving the boys are subjected to. Because its open ended and doesn't…

Dont listen to all of the over-sensitive know-it-alls who are jumping on your case, anyone with half a brain understood your comment and you clearly aren't a bad mom for making mistakes.

Pro-tip: no one is honest about parenting on the internet. I'm sure you can see why.

I think you nailed it. Kids that age are looking for attention, so you can change their behavior by changing what gets your attention. Ignore the bad behavior whenever possible, and make sure you pair that with going out of your way to pay attention to her when she's behaving well. The second part is actually harder…

Everytime I hear stories like this it only furthers my belief that the rules for training young children how to behave properly are the same as training a dog.

The problem is that now New York City schools won't let out until June 28 next year (a Tuesday, by the way). Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Eid al-Adha, and Good Friday all add an extra week of school to the calendar. And Chinese families, understandably, have been lobbying for Chinese New Year off. The city should just…

That's a shame. The likelihood of a SimAnt 2 is now even more remote than ever.

Especially considering how much effort it is to maintain an email server. She likely had IT staff dedicated to it.

Both of them (she and Bill) are so fucking dumb to do this self-defeating shit. They both instantly resort to lying and concealing, whether or not there's anything important to lie about or conceal, and it ends up being a bigger issue than whatever it was in the first place.

I don't see why disagreeing with someone's lifestyle is a big deal. I'm sure you don't agree with his Christian lifestyle, hows that any different?

The allergy one makes me remember yet again why my brother and sister-in-law have a fondness for Disney.

I'm Catholic and I don't mind that people don't believe in God. I'd like to believe that there is something or someone out there beyond what we can see. What I do have a problem with is people saying people with faith are 'dumb' or 'weak' in believing there is a higher power out there. I do believe that you'll most…

Let her go! Let her go! Don't hold her back anymore!

Story of my life...

There seem to be quite a few misunderstandings about the ban. I saw another comment here saying it's a ban on all gay people. No. Just MSMs. I also thought this was bullshit until I looked up the facts:

These are the words of someone mentally unstable, not hormonal. They need to be put into an asylum and sorted out. Prison just means they'll be spat out 5-10 years earlier in their sentence, since they're not directly violent, and are already manipulative.
