I work for a law enforcement union. Same. We make sure discipline is progressive, but believe me, plenty of them get canned, and they stay canned. Sure, we have nothing to do with potential criminal charges, and if one of my members is charged criminally, we have nothing to do with that, usually, our side of that is…

I agree, and I think it has to go both ways. I also believe Bill Clinton very likely did things to women without their consent. However, I’m comfortable in my support of Hillary because she is not a rapist. That’s all that matters to me, I’m not going to hold her accountable for her husband’s actions.

Yes, it does make sense. And I personally spend my time talking about institutional racism and white privilege with white people, that’s who I work with, and who needs the conversing. But in part of those conversations when people say “oh, they’re playing the race card” or in regards to police killings “well, they…

Mind you, this could just be the musings of a two year old, but this story does creep me out. In May my family went on vacation to Charleston South Carolina. My daughter is 2.5 at this time. However, she’s very articulate, (complete sentences, very good memory.) We stayed in a cottage that used to be slave quarters…

I’m confused, help me. As a hispanic woman who looks white, I’ve never said the “I don’t see color” thing because that is bullshit. However, i have said I will never understand what it is to be Black because i can’t. I would never presume to understand that. I guess I’m not sure what we should be saying.

Just to make your lives easier, has your husband considered a vasectomy? Seems way easier than women of child bearing age trying to get a tubal.

So, this is total bullshit, and it’s absolutely tied to socio economic class. I’ve had several friends in your boat, who, for the life of them, could not find someone to tie their tubes. These were all women who were college educated, middle to upper middle class. Last year, my kids nanny’s daughter had a baby. She’s…

I actually knew this was coming. He’s basing this on what she looks like now. She’s not skinny. That’s all that is “wrong” with her. Since she is not a size 2, he’s comfortable insinuating she’s not attractive.

This is why I hope to god he stays in, and loses. If he even thinks about stepping down now, and Pence is the main person, Pence could win. And that frightens me. As Samantha Bee said, Pence has tried to turn Indiana in to a Handmaid’s Tale paradise. No thanks.

I’d never heard of this woman, and I googled her quickly as well as read the article from 1974. She really was an attractive woman. Her lack of success with men, which seems to have been a big driver in her depression is surprising to me. I suppose maybe because my opinion of men in general has perhaps plummeted a bit…

“Dad!! John Cheever????”

OMG how have I never heard of any of these??

Yes.

For me, (and I had PPD) the thought of leaving her was terrifying. I suppose some new moms can do that, but for me, even though I didn’t like her very much at the time, would have been in not a good place leaving my baby for 8 hours a day.

If your corporation has more than 50 employees, the must comply with FMLA, which gives you 12 weeks unpaid leave. If you pay into social security, most states have 6 weeks of disability leave that is paid. Not great, but something.

What if find infuriating even more is the fact that they think you know, actually spending time with their brand new offspring is something that isn’t equally important. I didn’t give a rats ass if I be bopped out of the hospital (I did not, I still had 30 pounds on me, it took 24 minutes to stitch me up, and my body…

I also wonder how much of this is fixable, when the child is still very young. I have a 2.5 year old who has been in her own room since about 7 months, when she started standing up in the cosleeper. I would nurse her, then put her back to bed. Myself and my siblings also always slept in our own rooms from a young age.…

I’m exactly like you. My 2.5 year old has been in our bed twice, and only because she was very ill. But none of us slept well, she certainly didn’t. I’ve been enormously lucky that she’s a good sleeper, but my husband and I are both attorney’s we simply can’t afford to be that sleep deprived. I’m having another baby,…

I agree on the ironic post! I’m getting off the pill and won’t go back on it, so will need a different solution. I don’t often eat yogurt, but butter and cheese... YES!! I admire your ability to avoid sandwiches, pizza or pasta. Those are my favorites.

what about cheese? yogurt? I have cystic acne and the only thing that helps it is birth control pills, so i’m fairly convinced its hormonal and not food related. I don’t drink milk, but love cheese.
