Hear, hear! Yes, I'm sick of this bs too. Nine months my ass.

Because then you have the joy of having to wipe shit off your kid's ass. YUK. I'd rather just hold them over the toilet and flush. It's called EC because (gasp!) babies can and do communicate their need to eliminate. Most people just prefer to ignore these signs and let their kids sit in their own filth. Great…

I love your honesty. You sound like the parent I can see myself being.

Agreed. "Consensual Living" sounds more like "How to Enable A Child Dictator." Insane!

Dude, no one is "letting the wee barns shite all over the house." ECed kids still wear diapers much of the time (cloth). They also "hit the pot" more than they miss, so to speak. It's just an old way of doing something...you know, the way it was done for thousands of years before pampers. Also, a three year old…

Oops...were raised using EC, why not North Americans?

Yes, you can do it part-time. And you take your kid to the bathroom at the store and undiaper them and let them eliminate, just as you would do for yourself. EC'ed kids still wear diapers (cloth, and mostly when out and about). They also have fairly set routines and give pretty clear "I gotta go!" signals. It's just…

And that's why we'll be doing EC. Wiping shit off my 3 year-old's ass is way more disgusting.

If you're snooping, your relationship is already in critical condition. How is violating your SO's trust going to help? I don't snoop and never will. I respect my husband (and trust him) too much for that.

Just remember ladies...

Fuck your non-supportive friends. You will still be beautiful and sexy, baby or no. Character and wisdom of experience beat a tight vag or perky tits any day!

Hahaha. Love your comment (squee puppy etc.)

Agreed. The commenting system is still not addressing this. I'm so fucking sick of trolls.

Lady Gaga is such a liar. The original meat dress is well known in art history. Vanitas: Flesh dress for an Albino Anorectic was conceived of by Canadian Artist Jana Sterbak and presented at the gallerie Rene BlOuin in Montreal in 1987, way back when Gaga was an angsty teen.

ZOMG soooo cute,

This is truly mesmerizing.

Yep, not very smart. I'm quite disappointed in him.

Hey, I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make him drink. I can't make kids magically "unbored," I can only foster the right conditions to allow that to happen.

Also, the tone is completely unnecessary snark. Schools in many places are trying to offer as much student "voice and choice" as possible and keep all learners engaged. We are trying to be all things to all people; teachers, surrogate parents, cops, nurses, psychologists, inspirational speakers...now professional…

So...Janice Min was recently humiliated when—at four months postpartum—her manicurist thought she was still pregnant.
