Laugh away! I also sharted at least twice during pregnancy, once at work... Which was the worst because EVERYONE KNEW and I worked with 80% dudes and they have just NEVER LET IT GO!

I'm short and squat and my pregnancy was no more or less uncomfortable than my tall, willowy sister-in-law. Fun fact though: my nephew kicked her in the bladder and made her wet herself. I tried to feel bad for her but I was too busy holding my pregnant belly trying not to wet myself laughing. It was instant karma. We…

Umm.. the reason it's considered a mental illness is because addicts can rarely "stop whenever they want". Addictive behavior doesn't belittle your mental illness. It's the people who don't believe you or think that people with mental illness "can just stop" that are in the wrong. Your comment is incredibly ignorant,…

Ahhh... Actually addiction is a pretty good illustration of the definition of tragedy!

phew I know the breast vs bottle subject can be touchy. I love the binding aspect if the bottle, I especially loved that her dad could join in! I would do it again with no hesitation.

That'd be all well and lovely if we lived in a perfect world. Perhaps he should go back through the family finances for the last 200 years and figure out which parts of the money he can have and those he can't. But who, exactly, is he supposed to give the money too?

Except that he has NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

So he should forsake all of his wealth because his ancestors made money in the slave trade? Even if his family came from the slave trade, which I highly doubt it would still be from that trade, what good does forsaking that money do?

I agree to a certain extent, but I also don't think any gets to tell others how to live their lives. Not everyone is into activism, some people just want to live.

I don't see how reparations will change that situation, but I'm not particularly well-versed on how the trans-Atlantic slave trade is still affecting people of today. I don't live in a country that had slavery so it's not part of our modern racial relations.

I don't see how people who had nothing to do with the situation besides the accident of birth should be responsible. I don't think that having bad family members makes you guilty. Then again, I'm not a fan of the concept of collective guilt in most situations.

I think that no matter how i say this it's going to come across badly, but I think this is an extreme by-product of the "breast is best" concept. While, obviously, the UAE have other cultural issues with women that have ultimately brought this about it shows much pervasive any suggestion of what a woman should do is.…
