Yes, I have decided not to watch a single second of the Olympics. It was already ridiculous, and now we have crossed the threshold to dangerously ridiculous. Time to update my Nexflix queue to fill some time...

That was honestly my first thought. Not about William, but that his mother wasn't even 21. I am glad that William seemed to lea

I've had this fight. I did eventually pull out enough statistics to get his agreement that we will not have a gun in our house, because it is much more likely to cause us harm than provide any benefit.

I loved her wedding look.

Fellow lawyer with a kid this same age! I get the same shit for not putting my kid in classes and having a nanny. My kid is totally fine.

Yes - so much this. I have always wanted kids (although I think it is completely reasonable that some people want to be child-free) and now I have one. Of course it isn’t always easy but most days I am very happy with my choice. I think my kid is awesome and hilarious. We had exactly the circumstance you described,…

Honestly my first thought at this picture was - remember when Kim occasionally looked happy?

I had this exact Target visit. I was trying to explain to a friend who was about to have her first baby that those first few weeks can be weird and hard and that she should be very, very kind to herself. When I read this story I am only impressed that Chrissy managed to be out late enough to have dinner - I think I…

That had not occurred to me but are you ever right. I wish I could star this x1000.

I had a post-partum doula for a few weeks after my kid was born (no family nearby). On several occasions, I left him with the doula and just sat in a coffee shop so that I could enjoy some quiet and relative normalcy. Surprisingly, I still love him to pieces and at almost-two he is very attached to me. It's almost…

Seriously, my first thought when I saw that picture was - how old is she?!?! 22 is actually a little older than I thought, but still...

Parent here and I could not agree more. I try very hard not to bring my kid to places where he will disrupt others (quiet restaurants, for example, because he's a toddler and toddlers are unpredictable). But also, why is your under 6 year old watching an R-rated movie? At the risk of pearl-clutching, I would argue…

That was my thought. I'm all for the insurance company making a user-friendly site so that pregnant women have an easy place to find information or something similar, but we don't need big data for freaking everything.

This was my first thought, actually. And trust me, between the approximately 100,000 other websites and apps and whatever for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive, I don't think that employees really need this service. Just because a service is available doesn't mean that it is wanted or needed, employers.

The other irony is that my profession is high-paying, and my bosses know it. Every single woman around my age that I know at my job is the breadwinner in her family. My bosses know that my husband isn't exactly an investment banker or anything, so I don't know where they get this idea that he has a job that pays so…

Plus, it's not as though partners get to sit around and do nothing. Great, at that point I will have made partner, I *might be able to get pregnant, and then I'll spend half my life traveling and rainmaking while I worry that I am letting down my family. The most successful female partner I know has a nanny who is…

Ironically, in my case, I'm the breadwinner too. I appreciate the offers to go part-time if desired, but I find it fascinating that my bosses never seem to think that we might actually use the money I earn to, you know, live.

I look around my office (not academia but a legal job) and I see this issue over and over and over again. At the junior associate (entry) level, we are almost exactly 50% women attorneys. For people who are 10+ years into their career, and it’s maybe 20% women attorneys. The successful men have 2-4 kids and spouses…

I bet those two would be great fun in a movie together.

I might just be that I really hated Heirs and it affected how I felt about his face...sad.
