Tell me about cloth diapers. I kind of want to cloth diaper my second but feel like I’d be doing laundry 24/7.

Man, I had a Moby wrap when mine was a baby and the first time I came home to my husband walking around when the baby in it I was so pleased. He actually picked it up and Googled how to use it and put it on to take the little one for a walk.

Because some kids scream and make noise sometimes. Seriously, that’s how it always goes. Sometimes kids in restaurants scream and are disruptive so just don’t take them anywhere because that three minutes between the kid’s meltdown and the parent taking him outside are enough to ruin that person’s entire night.

I don’t know what the hair cutting video was about, but the dad-shooting-his-daughter’s-laptop video was punishment for her complaining about him on social media (if I recall correctly).

Exactly! The negative reactions to that one slayed me. It just struck me as “OMG my kids are getting along for once, here’s photographic evidence!”

I have a “friend” who complains about all the baby pictures her Facebook friends post, but who posts daily photos of her cat just, like, sitting around. The irony.

Ugh, I have an ex with whom I’m still “friends” but any time we spend any time together all he wants to do is reminisce about when we were dating. It’s so awkward. I did not invite him to my wedding, although I did invite the ex that I actually am friends with.

is the desire for attention these parents have

Right, I get that, but claiming that the kids are just getting free lunch after free lunch isn’t true. It’s not free if they pay for it any more than I’m giving away free labor before I invoice my clients for it.

Peanut butter has healthy fats, protein, and some fiber to it. A slice of American cheese on a hamburger bun (especially since it’s likely that it’s white bread) has almost zero nutrition. Can’t they at least throw a couple slices of turkey on the damn bun? Or give the kids some soup or something. An apple. Nearly…

I think it’s the insult of the “Kraft single slice on a burger bun” lunch that’s annoying me the most. It’s like they’re intentionally giving them the shittiest food available to teach them a lesson.

(1) kids aren’t paying three times in a row and getting full meals each time

The meals they get aren’t free, their accounts are charged. So they’re paying for them, just delayed payment. The school district isn’t handing out free meals and then finally having to say “enough is enough,” they’re putting a delay on how often they’ll let the parents defer payment.

For someone who is “sorry (you) even started” the conversation, you sure do seem to be committed to telling everyone advocating for correct and sensitive phrasing why they’re wrong.

I wonder what kind of “lesson” cutting off all her hair was supposed to teach her.

I went to my mom about my depression one night when she was in the middle of getting a cup of tea. I couldn’t get the words out, I sobbed and stuttered, until she rolled her eyes and said “just spit it out.”

YES. All because she had complained about her parents on social media. Jesus fuck, what a sociopath.

Not to mention, are we really surprised a wealthy celebrity with plenty of resources at her disposal looks good on the cover of Vanity Fair? I feel like there’s a subtext of “She looks great, which is amazing because she’s not even a *real* woman!”

I pay around 11$ a day to send my kids to a private Montessori daycare.

But if you find a sport that you enjoy, exercising to get better at that sport can give you more motivation.
