Still smugly asking Starbucks baristas to write ‘Merry Christmas’ on their diabetic lattes.

They’re already in the Jezebel comments blaming the mother. :)

I feel like I have to tell everyone: the best parent is not a working parent, or a stay at home parent, it’s a HAPPY parent. Your kid doesn’t want to be around you if you’re miserable, and if you have a choice between staying home and going back to work, do what will make you happy. There are many benefits to kids…

Congratulations, you’re a piece of shit. Please don’t ever procreate, I mean, just because you have the money to do so doesn’t necessarily mean your child will be better for it.

Parents work for all kinds of reasons. When I was born, my parents were living in a country that offered over a year of paid and partially paid maternity leave. My mom went back to work early because being at home with a baby was depressing her, she wanted to go back to her career, staying at home wasn’t healthy for…

OR people could stop having children lacking in empathy or the sense to understand what good family policies are! Oh no! Too late. Your parents had you.

They had ONE KID. It's not like they were breeding like Duggars. If they were child hoarders, I might agree with you, but they ought to be able to have one kid. You can't always just wait and wait and wait for the economy to improve or your boss to give you a raise. I've known women who waited so long they hit…

Jeez, you’re a dick. I could “afford” to have a baby, but I can't afford not to work. I have to put my kid in daycare. I have to let go of my anxiety a bit to be able to do my job as a mother, professional, and breadwinner. So eat a bag of dicks.

This a heartless comment and you are a piece of shit for making it.

So how much do you need to make to be allowed to have kids?? My husband and I just had a baby. And we make in the top 5% of US incomes. But in order to live in a community with good schools near family support (and 25K in property taxes), within 1 hour of our jobs in Manhattan, fund our retirements, his college…

I’ll make sure to tell my sister that she shouldn’t have had a baby with a guy who died 4 months later. She should have seen that coming. What an idiot.

Wow, that’s your response to a story like that? You’re a special kind of asshole.

They could afford the child. What they couldn’t afford (and few people can) was to be able to take care of the child themselves during the day without using a day care. The woman was the primary provider for the family since she was the one with health insurance. Being able to stay at home with your child in the first…

Not to mention that it suggests that parents who choose to go back to work at or even before 3 months (even when more leave is available) are deliberately playing Russian Roulette with their kid’s life.

While simultaneously denying women access to birth control/abortions/sex education, all of which can be used to prevent pregnancy.

I think “anti-woman” is more apt.

It also sounds like a problem with our healthcare system that she couldn’t leave her job because she was the one with the benefits.

Jerking off to the thought of denying refugee children entry to America.

This is tragic of course but I really hate the whole “You’re leaving your baby with STRANGERS!!!” Um... no my husband and I actually visited the daycare, met the caregivers and did our research on whether or not the facility was licensed/the policies they follow. My daughter is now 2. She loves her caregivers. They…

So where is the pro-life, “pro-family” movement on this one?
