what the hell is the matter with white people? Where is the knowledge of current events? The awareness of the overwhelming stats related to racism? How can these people continue to bury their heads in the sand?

thanks good suggestion.

I would totally do that!

As a parent I really have a difficult time understanding this. How could you do that to your child? It boggles the mind.

my standing Wednesday plans with my nest friend at a 2 mile run then splitting a bottle of wine...we shall live forever!

I know! I started humming it immediately upon reading that sentence.

this story makes me so angry. This woman did nothing wrong other than have the gall to be poor and black.

I don't know about this... Bananas are so flavorless! How did they get so close to the top of the list? They taste like almost nothing.

they look like cockroaches to me. And are too sweet. However that doesn't stop me from wrapping them with bacon and grilling them or from baking with them.

LOL. I needed this today what with all the depressing news.

YES! Well out you have to do your best for your family that includes you as well as baby!

I think it really depends on he context of the family as a whole. My dad loves to talk about how I fell asleep crying as an infant he laughs and imitates my face and it is hard to take—indicative of generally insensitive mocking parents.

I feel you. My kid is now 3, we co slept for over a year. But I hit to a point where I was so exhausted, and we really struggled getting him into his crib. His cries hurt me, but we had to let him cry it out to finally get him to sleep. I had to hide in the basement TV on full blast drinking wine to handle it. It was…

I totally get that! You can always change your mind if you want to.

I'm so sorry that you lost a child. It makes complete sense that you wanted to avoid the hospital!
