I loved it.

Not a stretch. I know someone who left her husband when she had breast cancer because he did not help in any way. Actually, I think it was partly that, and partly the realization that life can be short and she didn't want to spend the rest of hers lashed to someone like that.

Jalpenos aren't even hot. Try taking a piss and forgetting you just made jerk season with Scotch Bonnett's.

Seems like a legit apology. Thank god. It's bad enough some of my favorite rappers are showing their asses, it would suck if I could no longer watch Sherlock without that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me Sherlock is a prick in real life. Wish I could say the same for Watson.

Probably the best apology I've ever read.

Yes! It's actually not that hard is it? Let's see, he acknowledged he fucked up, understands why he did so, and recognises that he might have a bit of learning to do. I actually found this refreshing (which I really hope says more about the quantity of "sorry, not sorry" apologies than it does about how jaded I am.)

Now that's how you apologize for being an idiot.

More to the point, the daycare would have reported the burns. Mom would have been given the choice of ditching murderer boyfriend or losing the children. Either way, no children die.

I've never posted here before but always lurked. As a survivor of domestic violence, the responses here really sadden me.

So true! I live in the province of Quebec in Canada where we have government subsidized daycare at 7$ a day. It was literally a life changing factor that allowed me to be an amazing single mother.

But then again, the great-aunt didn't take him to the hospital either and she didn't alert Children's Services or the police. My gut tells me that arresting the mother was right in this situation. For many complicated reasons she stood by and watched her child die. The tragedy is no one intervened in time. That family…

There is so much victim blaming going on here. Sure, perhaps the mother is also a monster, or, more likely, she is a also a victim of this terrible man's abuse. Domestic violence isn't just physical - it's more than likely that he was exerting a LOT of power over her - emotionally, psychologically, financially, and…

My other thought is, if she had access to affordable day care, maybe she would have gotten away from that sick bastard more easily as well.

You know how some people listen and some people simply wait to talk? Lena Dunham waits to talk. You can see her using every last iota of self control to prevent her mouth from opening while Kaling was speaking.

Fuck right off, you monster!

I grew up when all these diseases were rampant. Polio was still around too, but I got my first dose of vaccine in second grade. They were awful illnesses. Why any parent would want to risk their child potentially having any of them if it can be prevented, is beyond me.

When my husband and I first started dating over 10 years ago we would have raging debates about the virtues (or in my opinion the lack of virtues) of a free market. We eventually learned to agree to disagree and had enough other compatibility that it wasn't a show stopper. (It also helped that despite the fact that he…

Oh good, another option that other women will judge me for choosing or not choosing! #themiracleofbirth

I had laughing gas (entinox) 10 weeks ago during the delivery of my daughter. In my opinion, it barely takes the edge off the pain itself, but it did allow me to "rest" in a drowsy haze between contractions, so that was a plus (30 hr labour so I was getting pretty tired). Of course, the fact that it didn't do much…
