I’m nine months pregnant and also have a toddler. A couple of weeks ago I was stuck at an enterprise rental place for almost two hours dealing with idiot insurance people and this middle aged contractor guy takes one of the *two* chairs in the place and then puts his man purse/lunch bag/combo thingy on the one next to…

The problem is the very dynamic of prisoner vs. prison guard. Most people cannot handle being given that sort of power over another human being. Check this out... http://www.prisonexp.org/

This is AARP if driving. Don’t make me wrong, for I have huge respect for Mr. Rohrl, but this is shit. Anyone can drive. Anyone can be a hero. Blah. This is how the man drives:

Brian Johnson, by far. Its not about how vast the collection is, but how it rides. He is a rider, racer, and so very pleasant when he is just him.

I’ve had both a hospital delivery without a doula and a birth center delivery with a doula. I cannot express how much having a doula there helped. I delivered a 10.5 pound boy without medication and I didn’t even need stitches. And after my boy was out and Dad and everybody were doting on the newborn my doula saw how…

I was working as a visual merchandiser for the evil Forever 21 up until a couple of months ago, (Yay! Freedom!) and I have to admit I was pretty surprised how conservative so many of the clothes were and just how many of the young high school girls were wearing them like that. It was refreshing to see 15 year old…

There is also a difference between dressing in super revealing clothes and continuing to stay on trend. And as opposed to ten years ago it is a lot more trendy to wear clothes that cover you than expose you. Think high waisted jeans being super in right now and the previous days of belly baring tops. If you're…

I am appalled at how many commenters have used the argument that the cheerleaders are there for the purpose of having access to wealthy men and that that should be compensation enough.

There are only a couple of months in a babies life that they truly need their mother round the clock. Of course every mom needs a break and needs personal space. On the other hand, people advocating formula because Mommy needs space and think they are right for fighting for mom's freedom from baby are rotten. I'm…

Actually, fuck your entire attitude towards motherhood. Because if having to be attached to your infant 24/7 is so fucking horrible, you're a horrible parent. Sorry. That's a fact. The baby doesn't get to choose whether or not to need their mother. You are clueless. Completely and utterly clueless. Go ahead and march…

Thank you, you are completely correct. I have a problem when people just say "it's jsut a choice" without realizing that while formula has saved a lot of people, and for that it is wonderful, people need to acknowledge that supporting these companies should really be done only as a last result. The formula companies…

Do some research at what formula companies have done to intentionally drive a wedge between women and their ability to feed to their children. We love to be in outrage over every single "choice" we feel is taken from us, except for when they give us "choices" in the most awful ways. Look at what Nestle did in Africa…

As much as I disagree with this law, to argue that bottle-feeding is an equal alternative is not cool. Because it's not. Formula has its place, but the reality is the formula companies campaigned during second half of the twentieth century to un-empower women and intentionally get babies on formula. There was a profit…

I like the part where the one crab was carrying the other crab away on his back. Reminds me of a bar fight scene with the friend holding his buddy back.

Thank you for this.

What magical Target do you shop at?! I am pregnant and find the maternity clothes to be horrid. And nothing ever has a full size run.

The part I don't understand: if you subscribe to the notion that abortions equal interfering with God's plan for life how is keeping a woman alive not interfering? "God" allowed this woman to suffer an embolism while pregnant. Did His "plan" really involve her being on life support to sustain the fetus for 26 weeks?

This is problem absolutely not limited to race issues. I think most mothers are unfortunately questioned/lectured/judged for some reason or another. I was asked repeatedly if my son was my little brother because I look young. I got lectured at a coffee shop that I was poisoning my three month old with the bottle of…

I couldn't agree more with everything you've said. People will say the most socially awkward things regardless of race issues. And parenting is the land of unnecessary opinions. Every parent feels they are doing the right way so if other parents are doing it differently is feels threatening.
