And what do they want fitbit to use? A drop of blood seems appropriate to indicate menstrual flow. Is the problem that it is pink and not red? I mean, menstrual blood isn’t even always red anyway...sometimes it can be pinkish. Sometimes it can be almost brown. Do we really need to get that into the weeds here?

People who reached the point of desperation with their colicky baby and took their baby to a chiro...right at the time the vast majority of babies outgrow their colic/witching hour. Then those people believed the chiro fixed some misalignment that was making their baby miserable, and think they can fix all babies.…

I am surprised someone would recommend using “fat” as a neutral descriptor when it is a very loaded term. Maybe we should be striving for it to be neutral, but it currently is not. If your kid thinks it is, and then goes around describing people she knows as fat, I am pretty sure she will be causing some seriously…

I think this is partially true, but even if you (like me) have a husband who does his half of the work (or more), it does not change the perception held by most employers and society in general that women will be less dedicated to work when they have children. I came back to work full time after my maternity leave,…

Maybe she needs the extra nutrition right now? Around that age babies can become a lot more distracted, mobile, and interested in the world around them (with less interest in eating) and need more for food to fuel their new adventures. If the baby will go back to sleep without eating then maybe it is just for comfort…

I went into parenting being a hardcore believer in putting a baby down drowsy but awake. I read all the sleep books. I was on board with crying it out when the time was right. Then I met my baby. She would not have it. There was no improvement with crying. None. We tried for weeks. It never got better. She simply was…

This baby is probably old enough to sleep on its stomach. If they can roll into that position themselves, then you don’t have to roll them back.

I disagree that most American home shows are heteronormative. Like I said, I don’t frequently watch Fixer Upper because I disagree with their religious positions. Those religious beliefs probably preclude them from working with gay couples. But, lots of other American shows, like House Hunters, House Hunters…

Eh, I think HGTV actually has a lot of non-heteronormative families on House Hunters and the myriad spin off shows. There are many gay couples (sometimes with children), non-married couples (with and without children), single-parent households, “blended” families, families with adopted children, and multi-generational…

OC should come back when BH wraps up. They usually run two at a time, staggered. Sometimes there is a little overlap between one ending and one starting.

Yeah I thought this was a little weird. Like I get committing to the scene and stuff, but if you see the person is passing out, STOP STRANGLING THEM!

We were never “date night” people before kids. We like to stay home. We like to cook. We like to watch TV and drink wine on the couch. I guess we are lucky that we can still do those things, even if they look different sometimes. For once, being boring has paid off!

She accused her father of sexual assault and no one believed her. Maybe she figured it would be the same with Schneider, only with potential legal repercussions. I have heard these rumors for a long time, and always hoped that they were not true. (I would never wish this on a child.) But, if stuff like this did…

He died?! How??

My husband pretends he is above Bravo shoes (HoWives mostly), but he will get mad if I watch this or VPR without him. I have also caught him rewinding scenes.... It’s good.

You don’t wanna see the Jeanette McCurdy “dan schneider” vine ....

Tulum is not what it used to be, even 6 years ago... The New York Hipster Tribe has totally changed the scene, and not for the better. I can’t even with the blatant pandering with the “Stay Present” signs, etc. I like to go in the off season when it is a little more normal and a little less “sceney.”

This is all fair. People who read the book seem to have a very different take. I never read it, but the movie seems much more subdued than the book.

I actually fully agree with everything you said. I don’t think Miranda is a flawless human who is a paradigm of morals and virtue. I just think that, like many of the characters mentioned in the initial article, there is more to her - and I root for her more - than the audience is “meant” to. The above-mentioned women…

I guess we disagree that Miranda was a monster. Yes, she had exacting standards, but I think the closest to “monstrous” thing she did was put Andy through the litmus test with the Harry Potter novel thing. Everything else was relatively benign. She expects people to study for a party and help her remember names? She…
