Okay, I don't subscribe to the "spare the rod, spoil the child" point of view. I'm not a "hitty parent." Nor was I raised by one.

If her speaking voice is any indication, I'm well within my civil rights to avoid listening to this song.

Spent all day on the lake, boating and jet skiing. Sunburned like a sonuvabitch and man, does it HURT!

Congratulations!! :D (My pregnant boobs were how I knew I was pregnant, every single time. They hurt like hell.) Don't worry about your "emotional, maternal moment" - it'll happen. Just savor it. And best of luck with the job minimization. I hope it all goes the way you'd like.

True.

Personally, I feel that if you lack a uterus, you lack a say in what I do with mine. Unless you're a SO or spouse, in which case I would take your opinion into consideration.

Thank you, j!

Yup. They're only "pro-life" while the kid's in utero. Once those precious little bundles of life are born, they're on their own.

Talk about completely missing the point...

Absolutely. My oldest two children are mixed-ethnicity, and I think their hair is beautiful. But if I had a dime for every time someone told what I needed to do to care for their hair, I'd own an island in the Caribbean.

Hee-hee! Don't give them any ideas! Can you imagine if EACH of them wrote books? We'd have to form a book circle, to read and discuss each tome. Highly entertaining indeed!

Problem with a tell-all by any one of them is that it would most likely be lies, or at least hopelessly skewed. Honesty isn't one of this family's attributes.

Prince and Paris' mother is his former wife, Debbie Rowe. She accepted a pay-out to walk away, but she's reached out to them a few times since Michael's death. It's said she's concerned, and I thought I read that the judge may talk to her as well, though I don't know if that's true or not.

HAHA! She thought you actually wanted her hand off her body! Little ones can be such cards. All three of mine (two boys and a girl) were/are very articulate, with very impressive vocabularies by age 3. The oldest was the quietest and most independent. Toddles never stops talking, not even in his sleep. …

I don't know about these particular cats, but my Silver Point Persian has a "squashed face" - she appears to always be looking down upon everyone, and/or like she smells something bad. (She also has 6-inc-long hair, fyi)

Can we just discuss Princess (or whatever) Catherine's dour expression, her side-eye to Wills, and their body language? YIKES!

It seems like such a waste of space, time, and money. Couldn't something have been done to keep those buildings viable?

You only have to watch a toddler's face after telling them NOT to do something again. They will maintain eye contact with you and proceed to do precisely what you told them not to.

Oh, they know. They-ey-ey-ey KNOW. Toddles is just turned 3, and he deliberately puts his flip-flops on the wrong feet. At first, it was just that he was putting them on the wrong feet, which is fine. We showed him the "right foot, left foot" and I explained that his big piggy toe belonged at the biggest point of…

I've dubbed them the "Thrilling Threes" because every single day is a thrill: a thrill the house hasn't blown up (Toddles likes to blow out the gas on the stove); a thrill the house isn't flooded (he loves to flush and loves running water); a thrill he hasn't "loved" the cat do death; a thrill we both made it through…
