Thanks! Yes, we were expecting it to take a long time/difficulty to conceive...luckily that was not the case. I had a healthy pregnancy and so far my son is the picture of health. Yes, there are risks being an older parent, but that doesn't necessarily mean people shouldn't try. Good luck, I hope when you do find…

I'm 36 and just had my first child twelve days ago (and my husband is 46); we are those "old" parents. I can't imagine having had him any earlier in life...it took me this long to stabilize my career, meet the right guy and move into the right neighbourhood. Everyone I know is in the same boat. Unless governments…

Thank you! I definitely enjoy having my baby on the outside far more!

Nope, what Reese said sounds spot-on. I'm one week post-partum and my joints, muscle pains, swelling and foggy brain are higher concerns than my weight!

I guess it's "mommy brain?" I dunno. Where is the copy editor?

YOUR ten year old. Not "you're" 10 year-old.

Yup. I do this all the time; if I prepare myself for the worst, I usually end up pleasantly surprised by the actual outcome. Having no expectations (or low ones) isn't always bad.

Can we please have "Fuck You Pregnancy"? I just gave birth to my first a week ago and can tell you the whole experience was/is pure hell. I love my son but...never again.

Where I live (and teach) the butt cheeks come out in bloom about the same time as the tulips. Most high schools in my province have the same problem. And every year we review what the dress code is (clearly stated in the student handbook). And every year we have students that refuse to meet that acceptable standard in…

This. WTF???

I agree with you the delivery of the message was awful. But everyone makes mistakes, even principles. He probably needs some sensitivity training.

You obviously haven't been in a high school in a while. Once the hot weather arrives its like a Victoria's Secret fashion show. In my school the teachers bring in their old gym pants and t-shirts so that students who violate dress code have no excuse not to cover up. It's ridiculous.

Ok, the announcement was inappropriate (and sexist), but the intention behind it was likely not. Who knows what he'd had to deal with earlier that day? These things generally don't come out of the blue.

LOL. That's good eatin'!

Wow. That's jerky. It is the responsibility of a school (and parents!!!) to teach kids about appropriate attire for school (and for the working world), and to convey respect for others through their dress. I don't see why the authority of teachers and admin should be flagrantly disregarded when they're just trying to…

Agent orange; toxic!

Yes she has. And she thinks she can beat their asses down with her bleach. Uh-oh...

No lady, your immune system is your friend.
