I am the parent that you are talking about. I am not into the princess thing, at all. My two year old loves it. I bought all gender neutral baby items, she's never seen a single Disney movie or princess themed movie, etc. I don't know what to do. She doesn't want to wear anything unless it is covered in sparkles. She…

You remember when she was kicked out of the pumpkin patch for her scandalous photos with Doug? It was only a year ago, but it feels like those pumpkin patch photos have been in my head for at least 2 or 3 years.

I'm mortified on her behalf that she was that excited about Ryan Lochte at all, much less excited enough to tackle him.

I had a scary emergency c-section (and the epidural failed), but after comparing my recovery with my friends' vaginal births, I don't think it was any worse.

Does this baby have mold on his head?

No. It is next to impossible for someone with a difficult first pregnancy to have another baby. No one ever does it. It will be a miraKle if she pulls it off.

He probably felt really proud of himself (herself?) for knowing that. Bless their little hearts.

I have a Beatrix. I'm pregnant with a boy and I love Atticus, but the husband and I are both lawyers, so it may be too much. We are still looking for a boy's name we love (we had Stella picked for a girl and it is on there too).

I kind of want to google "Blue Waffles" now, but I know better. I'm not sure what is going to happen.

As long as they are actually continuing to work on the others, that approach makes sense to me. I also realize that the entire equation comes down to whether or not the market for increasing the coverage is large enough to recoup the research and production costs, but I suspect it is. Of course, I wouldn't be…

Oh, gross. Purple cauliflower! How does that work?

This is so close to what happened to me, minus the daughter. Mr. Happy (first husband) was abusive when drunk and I didn't know that until after the wedding. I kept it up for a year and half because I didn't want anyone to tell me "I told you so," after getting married so young. I had rug burns, our house had holes…

HPV is magic. God's handiwork and all.

Do you know if there is any particular reasons they only made the vaccine to cover those two strains?

Mine too. Nurses, sardine factory workers, teachers (my grandma went to college long before it was the norm and got a masters in education and became a principal, go grandma!), secretaries, farmers, etc. Like most families, mine is not one with a long history of wealth, so everyone has always worked.

I wrote a paper for my History of Law class about women in the South. The vast majority of women, of all colors, have always worked and worked hard. They worked on farms doing backbreaking work. They worked as childcare and domestic workers, they worked in canneries, fisheries, waiting tables, you name it. It is so…

I tried to convince my husband for a year to let me stay home and just have us live off of his income (I'm glad it didn't work; he knew me well enough to know that I would be miserable). I now make more money than he does and he loves it. He doesn't understand why any man would want the burden of being a sole…

That is just a really crazy thing to say. It is a tough job market, but we don't correct that by telling all women who have partners who make enough money to support them to go home and make room for women who don't. I've got a million reasons why that doesn't make sense, but I assume they are all obvious.

This is me...in fact, I went through my child's entire first year of life miserable at work because I wanted to be a stay at home mom and couldn't afford it with my massive student loan debt. Looking back, I don't know what I was thinking. I love coming to my office on Monday morning because it is so quite after a…

I agree on number 3. I never like character replacements. They should pretend to not exist and they certainly shouldn't speak out on matters that clearly do not concern them.
