I had an argument with a barista at Whole Foods when I ordered a latte while pregnant. She said she thought I wasn’t supposed to have caffeine and I found myself rambling about how I usually didn’t, and that it was safe to drink, but really, this was a rare occasion....when I should have just asked for a manager.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but I think that’s exactly it - that it wasn’t bad enough to live through. I think for some people they almost wish they had been there, in the actual towers, because it would give them a more valid reason to be so upset by it. If you lived there and were in mid-town (as I was) there may…

We do know she has a great publicist....or at least paparazzi on speed dial.

My husband’s friends just email me to find out when he can do anything because if we had to rely on him for maintaining his/our schedules, our lives would fall apart.

I attended a breastfeeding support group when my twins were a few weeks old. Someone asked the lactation consultant leading the group if it was okay to watch TV when breastfeeding. (My pre-formed opinion was that it was fine, while my mom thought I should spend every feeding gazing lovingly into the eyes of my…

It does! It also comes in a cream now. My skin is a little sensitive to Nair but this stuff is awesome.

Better than Nair: Magic Shaving Powder!

Not that I am defending him at all, but according to this, she went back and forth between the husband and the ex for 15 years. He just moved out again last month according to this., and then the current husband moved back in. Again, not defending him, because obviously pretty much everything about this guy is…

I think you’re giving her too much credit. It sounds like these kids had a horrible home life, whether their mom was with the ex or the current husband. This article is heartbreaking. I don’t think anyone was looking out for these kids.

Eh, I’m more of a K-State fan.

Yeah, I posted this elsewhere....but I understand that a 13 year old doesn’t have the same capacity for planning and impulse control and all that as an adult. I also understand that at no point in my life, no matter how underdeveloped my brain was, I was absolutely not capable of stabbing someone 19 times because the…

Being an excellent mother and being a vindictive ex-wife are not mutually exclusive.

I keep thinking about this, and I just wanted to add that I don’t think there has been any point in my life where I could have stabbed someone multiple times even if someone was holding a gun to my head. Once when I was in grade school, my brother and I found a baby bird that had been nearly killed by another animal.…

Here’s what I keep thinking. I can understand that a 13 year old doesn’t have the same judgment as an adult. I understand they do stupid stuff. But these girls stabbed someone 19 times. I would be more understanding if they hired someone to stab someone, or if they shot someone, or made some stupid, immoral decision…

Yep. I live in LA. My husband is a songwriter/composer so he works from home and does the bulk of preschool pickups and dropoffs, and lots of the housework too. I don’t think I’m exaggerating to say it’s about a 50/50 split in moms and dads doing pick up or drop off on any given day at our preschool. I know a lot are…

It’s really important to note here that the study was only among millennials, so you can’t really use this to make assumptions that millennials dads feel one way or the other in relation to other generations. I also think it’s important to remember no matter how the majority of millennials feel about family structure,…

Soon you’ll be telling me you’re supposed to cut off those long loops of ribbon that are attached inside the arms and shoulders of some dresses and tops.

I’ll agree that he was part of one of the greatest songwriting teams, but he was also a hypocrite and wife-beater who abandoned his child. I’m fine with appreciating his talent despite his character, but it’s just annoying that so many people think he’s a saint when he was far from it.

He IS awesome for including the kid in the proposal and stopping a robber. I’ll even forgive the neck tattoo. It really is sweet that he and the son planned the proposal together.

Ah. I didn’t know that. My brother used to bow hunt on occasion. He did it legally, and he did it because he considered it to be more sportsmanlike than guns (that is, he didn’t have such an advantage). It never occurred to me people did it to skirt the law, but it makes sense. So this guy is an even bigger asshole…
