I'd send you a photo of the adhesive left overs on my coffee table, but you already know what it looks like. Always gives me a laugh to see how similar parenting experiences can be!

Bratty kids usually belong to bratty parents. Treat their presence in public as your opportunity to straighten them all out. If they incubate in privacy without societal correction, the brats will multiply exponentially!

I....uhhhh...guess I can't (won't) argue with that.

Yeah, spring for a 4-door if you want to sleep in the car. But, at 6' 3", I did find the GT-R to be pretty comfortable. How big ol boy are ya?

I like the one-stop for all deals. Page Down key is always available for the App junkies!

Truffle Oil! Agreed that the price can be ridiculous and there's no reason to seek the most expensive truffle oils available. That doesn't mean skip it entirely! It can be quite tasty (on Mac&Cheese or in a steak sauce, for examples) and the lack of real truffles doesn't change that.

Now I can make desserts as shoddy as my handwriting...maybe I'm not the target market :(

I fixed red wine in granite with a peroxide and baby powder poultice. It's amazing!

I'm interested in this! Do you gently shake? What's the technique?

She does appear to be an attractive human. Also, she's talking to Peggy from Mad Men.

As a new dad, I totally agree with your feelings on this. Strangely, my wife, who generally has zero tolerance for invasive strangers, reacted far more gently to prying attention when she was pregnant (though no one crossed any serious boundaries). This communal expectation did seem to have an effect on her.

TL;DR bro. 3 paragraphs? You gotta shorten your summary.

Came here to say: A WIFE! Also the most expensive. Ha ha ha ha I'll show myself out.

As classy as their Bieberian countryman.

You're a nerd's nerd. I like it.

And the #1 database tool, and the #1 budgeting tool, and the #1 making soccer schedules tool... I could go on.

Fair enough. That is a good way to see some little kiddos! I see a lot of stressed out parents as well and that's too bad. But, I also see a lot of happy ones.

I'm sure you have your reasons, so I certainly won't judge you for not wanting kids. But don't let an article like this be the rationale - it would be like not buying a car because of the maintenance. This article hits on some lifehacks - it's not a full appraisal of the experience and the positives it can bring...

Couldn't agree more! Carriers are a great way to keep hands free and snuggle with or entertain baby (when their rear and front facing, respectively). I personally like the more structured Baby Bjorn Active.

I have a nine month old baby and I don't think much of your comment. Anish didn't present an ironclad Standard Operating Procedure. It's a cheat sheet. And it hits the highlights of things to check.
