Let me clarify the situation. You see, while childless people have gotten the message that parenting is difficult and torturous and parents resent having kids. People with kids have gotten the message that happy parents should be seen and not heard - they shouldn’t wax on about their kids, post about them online, brag…

Unoriginal statement of the day: but I see a lot of similarities in how we talk about sex and eating.

I never forget our cultural differences or differences in experience, but I do forget that physically we look different, if that makes any sense? It’s like Human is our shared colour and I stop noticing that we’re on different points in the spectrum - like if we were frogs he’d be hunter green and I would be anemic…

Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter
Pictures snatched out the frame
Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face
What is it about you that I can’t erase, baby?
Well every promise don’t work out that way, no no, babe
Well every promise don’t work out that way

you’ll have to explain to me how cheating is permitted and surveillance is the status quo. All her lines about feeling like she’s going crazy, because being crazy would be better than being disrespected? She’s not ok with his cheating, but she has no evidence at first. Then she gets evidence, tells him to fuck off,…

let’s begin by acknowledging that Iggy is not self-aware or culturally aware. She’s not “woke”, to borrow the term, by any stretch of anyone’s imagination. You are right that she’s fucking racist as hell.

Wasn’t the Australian recently cheated on by her fiance and they’re trying to make it work? I think we need to see her reaction as fueled by revulsion at being lumped in with the side-chicks. Yes, she gets race really really wrong, but I think her reaction is partly a sense of don’t ever equate me with those other…

Actually, the whole album is focused on the relationship with the spouse and says maybe one or two lines about the side-chick.

Don’t people understand anything? Beyonce never really talks about the other woman, she doesn’t rage at her or confront her. She doesn’t degrade the other woman. This album is not for them. It’s not for the side-chick; it’s not for the cheating spouse; it’s for all the women who’ve been cheated and lied to and had to…

Wow, 7 is still so young and there are many kids who have invisible disabilities or aren’t neurotypical or simply aren’t emotionally or physically mature who will need help much beyond this age to go to the bathroom or who cannot be left alone to wait for their parent/guardian to finish peeing.

At what age do these laws apply? Can I bring my 2 year old son into the stall with me or is that a violation of the law? Will I have to send a 3, 4, or 5 year old into the men’s room by himself?

Do you have scoliosis? I have congenital sacralization (fusing of the L5 and sacrum) and smaller than normal disk space between the rest of the lumbar vertebrae - which means its prone to herniation. My natural stance is to tilt my pelvis under and stick out my stomach, which does not look flattering when you don’t…

Kylie’s gonna regret that posture when she’s older. All that arching really messes up your hip flexes. Take it from someone with a deformed spine.

Canadians are not swooning over Trudeau en mass. Yes, he’s running an excellent PR game that is focused on identifying and reinforcing shared Canadian values - this is a welcome change in course from the divisive language of the Conservatives; but, we have not given up on holding our leaders accountable. See: https://w…

depending on her state, the midwife may have been practicing illegally. Your friend would probably have to report her, though.

They will refuse because people normally bring their kids to the doctor when they are sick and while they wait in the waiting room, they can infect other kids. The doctor may also have other patients who are immuno-compromised and cannot be vaccinated, and probably many newborns who have yet to be vaccinated. All of…

Children don’t have the same physiology of adults, which is why there is a pediatric version of (almost) every specialty. Chiropractics is not recommended to be practiced on children because their bones and connective tissue is not the same as in adults and some of the manipulations performed on adults can be harmful…

I don’t think Americans understand just how small the population of PEI is, which I think is a major reason why this policy persisted for so long. Im so happy for the Island today!

I wouldn’t try to make that argument.

My point is that you would not pay more than if you had just worried about your own family, you will likely pay less. EI benefits are also not just for maternity leave, but also for accidents and sudden job loss. Tying maternity benefits to EI makes a lot of sense because people pay into a program that they are likely…
