NO LIFE & STYLE. This is not “the Queen Mum”, this is the actual QUEEN OF ENGLAND, ELIZABETH II. “The Queen Mum” was mother, who was also named Elizabeth; the nickname was supposed to help avoid this confusion but apparently it’s ineffective on stupid American tabloids.

VULVA. Not vagina. It ain’t a tube, yo.

“Children’s holiday”? You mean the holiest day of the Christian calendar, all about death and rebirth and redemption from sin, is for kids? What church did you go to?

Exactly! Babies cry because they need something - food, a dry diaper, or just plain comfort. They aren’t manipulating anyone by crying, especially when they’re infants. Your baby NEEDS you to attend to them every few hours for the first months of their lives. They gradually sleep longer and gradually, so do you. If

No, dude, that’s science. The baby just figured out object permanence, i.e. just because I dropped something doesn’t mean it disappeared, plus gravity, so super exciting. They want to do this again and again. They have no concept of this being a pain for mom at all. They are not even aware that other people have

That’s not manipulation. That’s ‘learning’. I, too, have studied child and educational psych. Manipulation is generally only used in the sense of ‘movement’. That is, to make things happen, to manipulate hands, etc. I’m not sure what definition you were taught but kids under 6mo cannot manipulate because they think

That’s not manipulation. It’s a normal developmental stage where they drop items, see you return them, and thereby realize that objects exist even when they cannot see them.

What does it even mean for a baby to ‘manipulate’ their parent? This implies that they are acting deceptively or unscrupulously. But what in the world do they have to be deceptive about? They are using whatever limited means they have to get their needs for food, love, safety, and security met. It’s not a secret that

There’s actually a famous, horrible old study that was done a century ago, that is trotted out in most psychology classes, where babies who were in an orphanage were treated in two different ways. One set was held and cuddled and loved on, the other was basically ignored (both sets were fed, changed, kept in a warm

Well, yeah, considering the fact that the baby is a baby. Babies are different than cats.

When babies are very small, they are not even capable of manipulating us in that way. I’m not sure at what age they are, but when a baby cries, it has a need, either hunger, cold, wetness, or just a need to be held.

Sorry everyone. I went through 7 (YES, SEVEN) whole pages of Perez Hilton's website combing for possible answers, and nothing fits.

Maybe she could just carve out some time for pooping? That seems like the biggest problem of all, I can't imagine.

Ted Cruz is intelligent. Sometimes he is even smart. He is following his father's example, a man who created a ministry that has made him wealthy. Wealthy preachers, particularly wealthy preachers who don't preach getting rich because of serving God, do not dress wealthy. They dress the way their parishioners dress:

Permanently attached to a Koch brother's rectum would be my guess.

Part of it is his physique. He is not a particularly attractive man.

The American people will never elect a mole person as their president. He can't even credibly disguise himself as a human.

Fucking poodle-haired misogynist turd. I didn't vote for him, why's he running around screwing with my good name? I hope his hairstylist gets distracted and forgets about him during his next perm, and he ends up catastrophically over-processed.

Dear women of America,

WHITE MAN TALKING! QUIET EVERYONE! WHITE MAN TALKING!
