As someone who recently nearly died likely because of my birth control pill at the ripe old age of 29 (hello, pulmonary embolism), I find the woo-woo concerns about hormonal birth control really frustrating. I had originally gone on birth control to modulate my extreme depressive swings around my period (in addition…

Or more likely, he will be lauded as brilliant and more school district will take up this approach. Some Americans despise freeloaders, it doesn’t matter if they are kids. (Mind you, I do not consider them freeloaders, I am an educator and kids should eat at school. For free. Period. Although I believe they should be…
it is actually illegal to require your employees not disclose their wages. They cannot outright say you can’t tell people your wages. They can wink-nudge ask you to keep it secret, but they cannot require you not to speak.
PS: before anyone comes at me with “Ho ho I hope you never need the police” … same.
My high school sexual assaulter went on to become a cop, which is really all that I need to know.
People are going to think this is a hot take, but it’s not: police departments are sexist, racist draconian hellscapes that systemically rob both officers and criminals of their humanity. There are no good police departments because there are no police departments that don’t encourage an ‘us vs them’ mentality. An…
Oh my god. The person who rips my book would have his balls fed to him through his nostrils. BOOKS ARE FRIENDS. RESPECT BOOKS, DAMMIT. Even my six and three year olds learned this lesson early.
I’m not so sure women are less likely to go into certain high-paying industries. I selected my undergraduate major - economics - based on data showing the qualification yielded one of the highest entry-level salaries. I applied for over 300 jobs with custom cover letters and resumes, attended networking events like…
So as a scaredy cat who will never willingly watch this, can I get a spoiler-ridden breakdown of what is going on in the movie?
Her husband actually cheated on her first.
God.
Back in the Blockbuster days, my mom picked some random movie we’d never heard of and then I sat down to watch it with Mom, Dad, big sis, and big sissy’s bff. The movie was Quills, about the Marquis de Sade.
...
We told mom she wasn’t allowed to pick the movies anymore.
Kids learn by example, not books. Love your life in a way you want your sons to live their life one day.
Team Nobody.
I’m very similar to you except my husband stays home with the kids, so no nanny - but we seem to be similarly laid back about parenting! My little girls (4 and 2) wear hand-me-downs, haven’t ever had a themed birthday or anything over the top, aren’t over-scheduled, and dammit, they are happy. I know SO MANY…
She didn’t care, she’s two.
So I refrained from commenting on this topic on a story that was highlighted yesterday, so now I’m going to. I likely fit the demographic these shows depict. My husband and I are both lawyers, we one vehicles and a nice house. We were together nearly 10 years before we decided to screw up someone elses life and have a…
“These two disparate viewing experiences bring up questions that have hovered around the childless/parent divide for a long time: are honest depictions of parenthood supposed to be a consolation or a caution?”
I will point out that that it may make sense for a woman to work even if her salary barely covers the cost of child care (or doesn’t quite cover it). There’s contribution to retirement and the difficulty of finding a job after 5+ years out of the market.
