I wrote "finish that thought with something *acceptable*."

Of course it's not acceptable. I never said it was. I was, once again, specifically replying to the part of your post where you said you wouldn't be able to sleep at night if you knew you had to pick up your kid. For some parents, day is their night. Fact is, we don't know anything about what happened with the…

What are you talking about? I was replying specifically to what you *just* wrote. You said "how do you know they didn't try calling her?" I think we know they didn't.

You think they tried calling her, didn't get an answer and then accidentally left the child there alone? You think that sounds logical? Presumably, they would have called as a response to her not showing up, right? And she wouldn't have answered, right? And then what? I mean, finish that thought with something…

You realize that parents that work the 3rd shift probably put their kids in daycare and then go home to sleep all the time, right?

Interesting you should mention phones because I was wondering why no one at the daycare bothered using one to call the mother...

My husband never said "we're pregnant" because it sounds incredible cheesy and stupid. And while I agree that it's sort of a silly thing to say, I watched the Mila Kunis bit and found it really unfunny. Mostly because it mentioned a whole bunch of stereotypical shit and ended with a bunch of pregnant women eating…

Is part of their job to determine what the police will or will not be able to do? Is their job to lie and say they can't determine where someone is because they are calling from a cellular phone? What if this woman had called and said her grandmother was having a heart attack on a highway and she didn't know where…

Being mentally ill does not automatically excuse someone's actions. It doesn't always mean the person doesn't know right from wrong. I wish people would stop perpetuating this myth that mental illness means a person has absolutely no control over what they do. He *may* have had no control over what he was doing. …

What about this is akin to a job? Why is anyone comparing the down time before or after the graduation ceremony to her being in court or something? That's a crap comparison and you're terrible at making arguments. You ignore facts and double down on irrelevancies. You keep mentioning a wedding, which this IS NOT.…

This is pretty clearly not the middle of the ceremony.

A wedding and a graduation are not the same thing but I can assure you, some women have fed their babies during a wedding ceremony and I bet just about no one noticed. And if you don't think people should eat during a graduation ceremony, then I hope you avoid them from here on out because people, many of them, eat…

She's not at her job. She's at a celebration of her achievements and has brought a family member that must eat. I read she received an accounting degree. If she were meeting with a client to discuss their taxes, obviously she wouldn't be feeding her baby. This looks to be down time either before or after the…

Re: 4. No. If you're going to be contrarian, at least learn some facts. Breastfeeding in public-even fully exposed breastfeeding-is protected almost everywhere by law. Please take an aforementioned blanket and put it over your head. I'm certain most people don't want to see you eat or do anything else in public.

EATING AND SHITTING ARE NOT THE SAME THING. STOP COMPARING THEM. It's like saying someone eating a granola bar should move away from the ceremony as if it was the same as squatting and taking a shit in their white plastic chair.

There are a million reasons. But I won't bother getting into them with someone who is clearly a pile of shit.

So?

I absolutely agree with you. I just know there is middle ground between delivering with medical professionals who do not listen and respect women and delivering your baby over a log next to a babbling brook.

Ditto. In certain circumstances, I've done it but I find it far more titillating/satisfying if someone else is doing the work. It is what it is and I ain't ashamed.

I do not envy you your task. It's one of those areas where there is no middle ground for me as a layperson but it certainly frightens me that people won't listen to professionals.
