Ramos is amazing, it’s so refreshing to watch his interviews: no softball questioning. Our politicians aren’t used to that.

THANK YOU

Guess they weren’t Madesowell.

So much truth in this.

I think part of what made mothering so easy for me was preparation, practice, and community. I put a lot of effort into my parenting — I was reading parenting and infant/child care and development books 5 years before I got pregnant. I made community connections with people who used methods that…

Man, men with domestic violence convictions just can’t get a fair shake in the dating world. Don’t those bitches understand his ex was crazy?

My husband says the same shit: “How do you keep track of all these appointments?” “How do you remember to give everyone their medication at the appropriate time?” “How do you find the best vet/restaurant/day care every time?”

Okay I’ll bite, even though I shouldn’t.

I was a 13 year old looking after a newborn little sister since both parents had to work. Rarely was it more then an hour or two (though as we both got older I was relied on more and more for babysitting until I went to college) and there was NOTHING BORING about it. I was a serious child and that kind of…

This makes me sad for those poor kids. I can’t really tell who the bad guy is in all this. Normally, it takes something pretty big for a mother to lose custody.

I never said that being mentally ill makes you inhuman, I said that stabbing someone 19 times after plotting to do so for months makes you inhuman.

You’re right. I don’t think a 13 year old that stabs a 12 year old 19 times should get a relaxed sentence, which must mean I have never met a 13 year old. After all, if I had, I would clearly be on board with 3 years max in juvenile detention.

The intent and purpose of the criminal justice system has never been to rehabilitate. The criminal justice code has never focused on rehabilitation. It has always been to punish wrongdoing. Sometimes that is for deterrence. Other times it is just because the wrongdoing needs to be punished. There are plenty trying to …

Probably has to do with the fact that they told the victim to lay still and they’d go for help, after they just stabbed her, and then abandoned her to bleed out and die, along with the planning well ahead of time. Delusional or not, they planned and callously convinced their victim to comply with them when she…

I’m in no way in favor of trying these girls as adults, but come on. You’re right, kids don’t have the brain development to deal with anger, or to think in abstract ways. But a child throwing a tantrum or hitting someone because she’s angry and doesn’t know how to process her anger is a VERY far cry from that child…

That may be true but at the same time, I don’t want these girls free on the street. Their crime was not a spur of the moment, kiddie prank. It was thought out months in advance murder.

I agree wholeheartedly. I suppose that makes us the monsters though...at least according to the comments. There are certain mistakes one can make in life....certain choices. Sometimes the effect of those choices are irreversible even thought we didn’t realize what the effect would be. You lure someone out on their…

You realise that their is a difference between petty crime and psychopathy?

Of course now he has no way to get rid of you when he needs to commit murder. #parentingfail

I’m the primary caregiver in our family, and that’s for several massive reasons. My wife is an incredible doctor with a wonderful career and career trajectory. I’m MUCH more nurturing and interested in staying home with our children. I was a teacher, and much of the training is very compatible with the challenges of…

“Miller suggests paternity leave policies where men are rewarded for taking them might help. Reining in long hours can help men and woman alike, though it’s hard to imagine this ever shifting back.”
