You can “tell” a 3 year old anything, but they choose whether to listen or not. Unfortunately, on planes discipline choices are rather limited. Are you going to threaten to... leave the plane? ipads and phones are for the benefit of the members of the public as much as the parents, as “good” parenting involves saying…

Renee Zellweger was not “plus-sized” in Bridget Jones. She was maybe slightly chubby and not a size 14.

I absolutely have watched the video and you are repeating a false right wing talking point. She laughed about this case “destroying her faith in polygraphs.” Not about child rape. Here, I googled for you:

Can you please look into the “child rapist” issue before using this against her? Everyone is entitled to representation, this is a fundamental principle of our country. She wasn’t trying to take the case, it was assigned to her.

She has a deeply interesting and compelling story about the humiliation caused by being mocked by an entire nation. This aspect of her story is relevant to many people today who have been “internet shamed” and it puts a human face on mockery that once felt victimless. You might not be interested in her but I find her…

4 year olds can know about eating healthy. I certainly educate my 4 year old about healthy choices and this involves understanding that too much sugar can make your body feel sick. This is an entirely different conversation than one about “being fat” (which I have never had with my son).

Lol compassion is absolutely a natural instinct.

It’s really difficult to make that assessment. It’s pretty easy to see calls for “direct action” backfiring. It’s really, really easy to see Trump using this as an excuse to incite his supporters to violence. It’s also easy to see this pushing away, say the 1% of undecideds we need in certain areas come November. So…

It’s not disingenuous if that’s the venue in which she actually met him. I mean, she didn’t meet him on the set of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

This is the paradox of Bill Clinton. He is a sexual harasser/possible rapist who appears, outside of sex, to legitimately respect women.

It’s a pretty valid point that a lot of terrible things have gone on for a long time and are just now being given more exposure. Are things really worse, race- and gender-wise, than they were 20 or 30 years ago? Maybe Trump is setting us back on those fronts like 15 years. And look at the posts above on immigration. A…

That’s really interesting. Certainly there are probably a couple people taking advantage to wrongly accuse certain men. And famous men are more of targets, especially if they’ve treated people badly. Of course, I’ll take the collateral damage of a couple powerful people having destroyed reputations over thousands of…

Aren’t Tambor’s accusers mostly(?) trans-women. That might have something to do with people believing him.

Depends on the kid. Newborns that don’t sleep are not easy.

The point was these were the women he came after publicly 

uggghh sorry women are the ones that fight FOR abortion rights so please let’s not go around blaming women for this.

Her point was watching a parent die at a very young age is extraordinarily difficult. This is a whole different thing than a “non-traditional” family arrangement.

Seriously, 6 months? I’m like, but this all JUST happened. Like maybe the “lesser” offenders can get redemption in a few years. There reflection should include the fact that they SHOULD feel pain for their bad deeds. Sit with it for a while. If they are trying to come back already then they have not changed one bit.

The argument seems a lot more nuanced than that and includes the idea that being removed from a parent can be, itself, severe trauma. While I agree hitting a 19 month old with a belt is extreme and should require intervention, it doesn’t negate the whole thesis of this article.

Just responding to say I don’t know why people are giving you such a hard time about this comment. Yes, CPS did the right thing and did it’s job but it was still traumatizing for you.
