I'm sure you know this because of your friend's baby, but children can't be vaccinated against measles until 12 months of age.

It's stupid parental nostalgia. How many times have you heard people say that measles, mumps, chicken pox aren't that bad? It's because they can't remember the cases that were bad, or that they are fucking awful when you catch them as a baby or as an adult. So when you hear stupid parental nostalgia, remind them that…
They won't.
SHIT, I don't know if I ever got my second measles vax. Can adults request it?
Yup. Herd immunity is like a nice, snuggly security blanket that covers those whose vaccines have worn off in the period before they realise they have worn off, those whose vaccines never took in the period before they know they never took, those who are too young to vaccinate and those who have immune system issues…
And before anyone brings up the fact that some of the people who were affected were vaccinated: 1)vaccines like the MMR vaccine aren't 100% effective but are damn near close and 2) they would've never gotten measles if those who weren't vaccinated were initially vaccinated. That's what herd immunity is.
You just broke the comment euphemism density record.
That last one should definitely be a book.

My mother-in-law pulls this shit. Every time one of my sister-in-laws spawn, she always makes sure I end up holding the baby. She's trying to make me contract baby rabies, but joke's on her because I've been immunized.
I am a woman. I have a 9 y/o. I did not turn into a completely different person the minute he was born. There is hope for you too!
My oldest is eight and I still don't think we've done all the laundry from his first year. I've never seen the bottom of the laundry basket since the day we brought him home.
I saw this shared, and being a pregnant person, read it, and hated it. It's exactly the thing I don't want. My life (and my husband's life) is absolutely going to change. It's going to be different and amazing and exhausting and fun and hard. Sure. But, I am NOT becoming a new person. I am NOT leaving behind…
Man, when your heart is bursting out of your chest and shattering to a million pieces, it's a good thing it happens when you're already in the hospital.
I am very invested in my job. Several typos that were almost immediately fixed don't really speak to how invested I am in my job or not. The fact that I have this blogging format downloaded onto every one of my electronic devices to write stories as quickly as possible if/when they break? Maybe a little more so. All…
Stassa, I ask this in the most respectful way, but can you please post a picture of you in your yoga pants? I want to look and look away at the same time. I've instructed my wife to lash me with my belt every time I look and don't look.
The opera this ain't
The entitlement in telling another woman what to do with her eyebrows. I just — not to be obnoxious about it, but this is how women enact and enforce the patriarchy on one another.
