Pretty simple. I was there. A SAHM for 25 years. I was a "baby wearer" but as soon as they were mobile when upright it turned into them being picked up when they asked or it seemed like they needed a cuddle.

Boy howdy did I get to see this in action!

Part of the problem is that white girls are just troubled girls acting out, but black girls are treated as grown women way too much, even when we're like 12.

Shouldn't a boy who got a girl pregnant also be exhibiting poor "discipline" by this same reasoning and also be prohibited from class?

I practiced a form of parenting I coined a term for as a sort of joke, "Proximity Parenting With Benign Neglect." I should have written a book or something. 5 kids off and running as capable and semi-detached adults (meaning they call and come by for holidays and we go out together on occasion etc but basically are…

Two physician MDs, 8 month old and a dog, in 700 sq ft one bedroom.

I'm 31, with a master's degree, my husband is finishing up his PhD, we have a child, and we live in a 2 bedroom apartment. The American dream is dead.

I always feel weird about being white-passing in America because it's like, "I so know this bitch would treat me like shit if she knew I was mixed, cause I just saw how she sneered at the Asian dude in front of me in line." At the same time, my existence feels like I'm punking a lot of white supremacists…

i find her utterly disgusting and nasty-looking. here's an eye cleanser :

Just curious, what decade did you grow up in?
