I agree. I hate giving gift cards or cash because it looks smaller than what I can potentially find or make a present for. I am on a budget so the cash option is always going to look pitifully small.

This is crazy as I has a baby in the nicu andthe original bill was 100, 000 and that didnt include my 40000 stay. With my crappy insurance we are now in debt big time.

My parents lived in T.O. while I was in college, so spent my summers there, this was at the time of the mall remodel (I think something like that. It got a lot bigger at some point right?!) Anyways, since I spent 3 months of the year there I feel justifiably heartbroken for the community and what could have been my…

Yes, another thing they don't tell you until you are pregnant! Things just aren't pretty and I am impressed how composed she looks.

No it always goes to the children before a a sibling. Girls only lose out to brothers no uncles

I personally felt like that phrase was worse and unjustifiably homophobic

I think this video is very appropriate and succinctly makes the same point.

Then they aren't very good at their jobs. Sure I could put the tv on and let the kids look after themselves sand entertain themselves but that isn't good parenting.

Depends on how easy the birth is and how good the insurance is. I have medical debts in excess of that number because of a NICU stay and various complications. I had another child which with better insurance and no complications (though it was a cesection so pricer) only cost us a couple thousand out of pocket.

I didn't want one. My first was an emergency and not fun as I had had a rough 24 hours. The second was planned and was a pretty great experience (as far as child birth goes).

I saw one of these episodes and it wasn't a proposal but the woman was declaring her love for a coworker. He awkwardly tried to play it off and they forced him to answer and he said no he didn't have feelings for her as she was surrounded by thousands including a tv crew. It was a trainwreck of epic proportions and…

The anti vaccine people I know are creationists. That and homeschoolers. Those poor children don't stand a chance once they are grown.

My son is turning three next week so I am currently dealing with the preschool decision. He has been going to a preschool type environment for the last few months because of developmental delays and has thrived so I want to keep it going but I am not sure how. Most in the area are way too expensive for my family and…

Yes! It is a vicious circle.

My husband tells me I apologize too much and have to stop saying "sorry". Going around a supermarket alone I lose count of how many times I say sorry for other people nearly bumping into me.

My daughter is a redhead and I rarely put her in pinks/reds/oranges but a lot of that is skin tone. She has a fairly red complexion and those colours bring it out but I am the same way and blonde. I always look flushed in red.

I live in a second floor apartment with (at the time) a toddler and a baby. I went grocery shopping, carried the kids upstairs, put them down for a nap. While they were sleeping I locked the door, and went down to get the groceries. Even though I could hear everything going on in the apartment as the car was in a…

I spent over 2 and half hours pushing, let alone the 24 hours before that.

I don't watch Glee nor have I heard of Jonathan Coulton, but listening to the first 30 seconds of both versions I have no doubts that they completely ripped him off.

Sounds about right. The only reason I mentioned it/remembered was because I am bitter that it meant that the Muppet movie was shafted. I would take the Muppets over Anne Hathaway any day.
