Phew! I was feeling SUPER guilty for doing some generally approved (though not everyone on earth is on board, I do realize, with even gentle crying it out) nap training today and then I saw your comment and was like "omg i am the worst person on earth! Even EasttoMidwest thinks so!"

are you saying keeping her waiting in her crib for 5 minutes is detrimental to her health? or purposeful long term isolation?

i cannot fathom isolating a child. I personally feel guilty when my daughter (18 months) wakes up and is ready to get out of her crib, and I have to make her wait a bit for a variety of reasons (in the shower, have my hands in a bowl of meatballs making dinner etc) and she gets pissy after 5ish minutes. How can…

I have it on good authority that he is a total dick. None of this is surprising.

The big concern, even in cases like this where the money is SO RIDICULOUS that most people can't even fathom the difference between 1mm a month and 32mm a month is that the standard of living on 32mm a month is still vastly different from the standard of living on 1mm a month.

additionally, upon looking at your username closely, I remembered you were an obnoxious pot stirrer with me before. So comment away all night if you'd like, but I'm done with you.

I HAVE been asking questions and have received a few very thoughtful and eye opening replies. you, however, have been not at all helpful with your cursing and playground leb name calling. Further, my original comment was a specific situation regarding a specific gay person who happens to be male. There was nothing…

Oh my god give it a rest. You don't know me and clearly the line of questioning was valid, seeing as my original comment has 75+ stars.

that is quite a reach! My best friend who I was talking about IS male and IS gay. I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make. This anecdote had nothing to do with any other segment to begin with.

even if the U.S. adopted a nation wide guaranteed 12 week fully paid maternity leave, over the course of a lifetime that would amount to an average of maybe 120 days (12 work weeks = 60 days = 120 days for a family with two children) over the course of a roughly 40 year employment span. 250 working days a year (52…
