As someone who has REALLY wanted to go into labour “right now” for a total of about four weeks of her life (from 38-40 weeks in two pregnancies), I’d call bullshit on the “Oh, hey, are we in American airspace? Great, I’ll go into labour now.” theory.

That’s beyond creepy. By all means, don’t have sex before getting married if that’s what you want to do, but why broadcast it to the world? I know a few people who waited for marriage and their friends knew what was going on, but they didn’t tell everyone during the ceremony. The entire thing wasn’t based around the…

There’s nothing wrong with waiting for marriage, and I doubt anyone is finding her virginity itself the issue with this story. It’s the fact that she felt the need to prove her virginity and did so for her father. I commend her for her commitment to not have sexual intercourse until she was married, as it was…

Because that’s what Ikea sells, they’re plastic and cheap. Considering my 2-year-old is in her “put everything in the bin” and “throw things we don’t want onto the marble floor” stage, cheap and plastic is good. Anyway, I let her pick out which ones she wants to use, so it’s not a problem.

Oh, the horror! Not a male cat being called a girl! How will he ever function as a dude in cat society?!?

God, I hate that gender bullshit! My daughter had two pink and purple teething rings (her dad bought them for her... I hate pink!) that I’m now giving to her younger brother, as he’s teething. My mom said that I’d need to buy new rings, because he can’t use “girly” teething rings. My response was, “Why the fuck not?”.…

But toddlers are basically tiny psychopaths who will destroy you. Don’t believe me? Just trying blocking a two-year-old’s access to bleach. They will scream, cry and maybe bite you—all because you wouldn’t let them dose themselves in a corrosive chemical. If you don’t want to get the bleach out for this experiment,…

I say something along those lines under my breath several times a day. 2 year olds are insane.

Where did I elaborate on my parenting style?

Please tell me where I went all “sanctimommy” and claimed to have a little snowflake, as I’m failing to see any sort of reference to a perfect angel or a sanctimonious tone anywhere in what I’ve written. In fact, I’m pretty sure I talked about my little 2-year-old terror pouring syrup everywhere. Do perfect little…

You’ve just made the assumption that all infants scream. They don’t. Something that nearly every country in the world besides the US has done is recognise that babies are a natural part of life and they are, therefore, welcomed in public. Thank god I live in one of those places, where I’m not given dirty looks for…

If you had ever lived in Eastern Canada, you wouldn’t find what nacho cheese guy was doing at all bizarre. Those people are nuts and he’s actually pretty sane in comparison.

That’s totally normal in Colorado and it’s delicious. Grape jelly, however, is not.

Holy shit!

That’s awful.

Same here. I don’t have a full-time nanny, but a very lovely part-time helper who watches my two children. She’s come highly recommended by many people and she has been nothing but wonderful. It still makes you scared to leave them, though, doesn’t it? :(

Thanks, that’s awesome of you :)

CrimeSceneShoe just thinks you’re a terrible parent, though. He doesn’t have kids, but he was a perfectly behaved child with the best mother in the world, and any misbehaving is purely a result of poor parenting and not a toddler being normal.

That’s amazing! I’m always amazed what they can do when left alone for a split second.

That makes total sense.
