Better to wait 7 days then wait for American lawmakers to stop throwing up so many roadblocks that many women can't get them without taking two or three days off work and traveling hundreds of miles.

Except if she files for child support then the courts are involved, and he can get a test, end of "problem."

i am an american living in france and my wife is french. she got the postpartum care after the birth of our little girl. she was a bit embarassed, but went through with it anyways. even all the "equipment" that she had to get was provided for free. she never elaborated what this therapy consisted of, but she never…

So Canada is not perfect, but we have things that you don't have that make me wonder why you all haven't stormed Washington in a mass fit of rage. This is one of them.

what's wrong with working 4 days a week?

Seriously though, having a baby and dealing with work is a nightmare. I am currently out on FMLA leave for the birth of my child- 5 weeks in, my work decided they are not going to pay me for my leave... Even though I have more than enough sick leave to cover my time off. Also, they are making it retroactively…

France exports more goods per capita than the US does, they export a bit more than 1/3 of what the US does with not even 1/5 of the population. They are the fifth largest exporter of goods in the world.

Yeah it's not like incontinence is a problem after multiple childbirths, because this woman was fine.

And this, for the tea party commentariat:

It's not exactly BS, because an 18-year-old is NOT going to have the credit history to get a loan on their own. At 18, I didn't even qualify for a loan for a computer through my credit union. How was I going to get a loan for 10k?

I don't think it's an obligation so much as something parents want to do for their kids. It's obviously easier to get on your feet after graduating if you're not saddled with massive debt.

There is no practice for a difficult child.

An easy child is NO practice for a difficult one.

I worked in a restaurant once (that was not a McDonalds) and me and another co-worker noticed our first aid kit was just an empty box. We filled it with the following: A film canister with some pot, a syringe, a small bag of meth, a single aspirin, and a single band-aid. Everyone was so used to it being empty that the…

Why? I get if it's your pet but animals eat animals. Do you want it to eat grass?

It is pretty strange to kill a bird because it killed a bird, no? Like I can get defending your own pet, or shouting/waving arms to try to scare the falcon away, but why revenge-kill it? Does she think duck lives are inherently worth more than falcon lives? So strange.

Lol. It's a stupid fucking duck. You know they do gang rape on the females and sometimes fuck them to death?

Eagles & hawks are predators, too. Would you really excuse someone beating/killing one if you saw it go for a mouse, gopher, duck, etc.?

Just do what I do, develop really bad bags under your eyes because they totally detract from the dark circles.
