With regard to the legroom thing, parents ought to stop projecting how they would feel and instead try to evaluate how kids actually feel (I feel that way about a LOT of baby/kid related things, actually). Unless your kid is complaining or distressed in the RF seat, why not just leave it? Assuming it is bothering them…

People without kids should also look up “internal decapitation” to see why the recommendation is what it is. Car accidents are the leading cause of death in children and it’s 532% safer to have them rear-facing. So while I’m all for not being an overly-paranoid parent, I’m not sure you’ve picked the best example of…
SO. BORING. It was like watching an incredibly beautiful painting for two hours. I remember literally nothing about the plot/story, but I do remember the sensation of being monumentally bored the entire time.
Yes, there is a therapeutic benefit. Having a glass of wine can lower your blood pressure and relax you. There was also a recent study showing some evidence (not conclusive by any means) that kids of mothers who drank lightly during pregnancy had fewer behavioral problems. I had a friend whose OB encouraged her to…
YES. Can we talk about this? So, she realizes there's lots of money to be made in weight-loss, wants a bigger piece of the pie than Jenny Craig was giving her, starts her own company, re-gains weight, and goes back to Jenny Craig. Why doesn't she go back to her OWN PROGRAM THAT SHE STARTED? I live near what I assume…
Cool, man, what does that have to do with her not liking Lyndon Johnson, who passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, two years before this time capsule was hidden? I doubt her opposition to Johnson had to do with her not liking segregationist Democrats, because he (despite his many other faults) wasn't one.
If I'm being honest, the fact that the letter started with "Lyndon Johnson is president, we are hopeful that the Republicans will be in office when this time capsule is recovered" kept me from crying. I'm a bleeding-heart liberal robot.
I dunno ... my husband and I never argue about anything. It happens. We see eye to eye on most things, we're quick to compromise on the things we don't, and neither one of us finds pleasure in being mad at the other ... i.e., we aren't in the camp that believes anger = passion. It could all go out the window once we…
Yes, I am in the exact same boat. Preggo who lives in a liberal area in a liberal state where I feel like I won't be able to take my baby out of the house until he's a year old because of these people who believe "it's my choice, it doesn't effect anyone but me, lalalala." And I'm not sure what the etiquette is when…
Obviously, they're all lovely. But if you look at older movies/TV shows, the actresses used to be attractive but not necessarily look like supermodels. Now, every actress in everything (comedy included) is expected to be drop-dead gorgeous. I recently saw the remake of "Carrie" and every character was, like, three…
Well, it said he paid $15K a month and has three children. So he's paying $180K a year total, or $60K per kid. Private school can run $40K a year (more?). Add in food, clothes, summer camp, lessons, and that figure does not seem SO crazy. And I could be wrong, but I think there are laws regarding child support that…
Yeah, you misinterpreted the joke. They did not use "garbage person" to be politically correct, they used it to differentiate it from a garbageman, and to convey the meaning they were trying to convey (that Matt Damon is human garbage next to Meryl Streep). Why would they worry about being inclusive and PC about…
Nothing is more disorienting than when Perd Hapley shows up on Scandal as a non-idiotic news anchor.
Also, I'm pretty sure the winter Olympics are every four years, just like the summer ones. And the two are staggered so there is one or the other every two years.
YES. Or there will be a mannequin wearing a cute top and then that top is nowhere to be found on any of the racks directly adjacent to the mannequin. Why showcase a garment if you don't actually seem to sell that garment anywhere? I like the idea of dirt-cheap clothes but I can't actually stand shopping @ H&M or F21.
A couple of points: most of the performers also write. They're not listed as "writers" in the credits, but they're expected to write for themselves. In fact, that's the main way for new cast members to get air time because the writers don't really "know" them yet, so they're more likely to cast the more established…
Yeah. I really, really hate the cultural shift toward saying "we're pregnant." "We're expecting," "we're having a baby" are fine but only one of the partners is actually pregnant, or got pregnant ... unless it's two women who have been doubly-inseminated. In which case, have at it. It just seems like a way for men to…
Wonderful, there are some additional options online. That doesn't change the fact that the majority of costumes on the website are sexy, skimpy, tight, and/or revealing. I saw like four different sexy Snow Whites, no normal Snow Whites. Even poor Belle has been sexed up! There's a less-sexy Belle, but it's a "mommy…
Because men's costumes are designed for men's bodies and might not fit a woman? If you are small, or have big boobs, or wide hips, the men's costumes aren't necessarily going to fit you. Also, if you are an adult woman who wants to be a female character, like a princess or Cat Woman, but not SEXY princess or SEXY Cat…
There is no evidence that having a glass of wine a couple time a week will make your baby's IQ lower. In fact, one recent study found POSITIVE effects on kid's brains from small amounts of alcohol, compared with control groups.
