My son has been to the hospital unfortunately and we had no issue with the names. I have crossed the border with them and no issue at all. I have never crossed the border alone with my kids though so maybe that would be an issue.

Dude you are impressive. You managed to “but black-on-black crime” the hell out of this. Now do “they are not sending their best”. As a Mexican I am really eager to know how that racist argument works when applied to other brown people :)

Villarraigosa?

I have kids. I kept my last name and so did my husband. I have had no problems with it so I find that using the children to justify changing your last name is also an excuse.

I hate my father too but my name is my name. Why is it that men never seem to be bothered by bad relationships with their dads enough to change their names?

Just so you know. I am married. I have children. I kept my last name. I have had no problems with it. Some people call me by his last name some people call him by my last name we don’t even correct them if it’s not important.

As I said, individual experiences can serve as an inspiration but experts in the area of mental health should be consulted even if you lived through it. I was a victim of domestic violence. However, if I were to write about it I would totally talk to DV experts about how to approach such a difficult subject so I do…

I think one’s own experiences can be an inspiration but they should not replace talking to experts to get the facts right or at least to check that there are not misconceptions in the representation of mental health issues. Someone already pointed out that the diagnosis that Marlo gets in the movie is postpartum…

“Cody told the Times. “I have had my own experiences and my own research.” Cody didn’t consult with any maternal psychologists or mental health experts when she wrote the script.”

Border patrol would be happy to shoot if they let them. Sessions and Trump would be happy to let them. The GOP would be happy to allow Trump do whatever they want. We have already seen that. It is slippery slope.

Oh by all accounts give this MOFO the Nobel Peace Prize!

Good luck! You are very brave. It’s going to be great.

That sounds so intense! I would be drained after an experience like that. Good luck with your journey!

I was you in college and then I went directly to graduate school and I had even less time to care for my appearance and to date. The good news is that it did not matter in the end. At around age 25 I got contact lenses, I tried (and failed but tried) to pay more attention to my fashion choices and more importantly I…

Do not listen to the Schwag your husband is an adult. Nobody pressured him to have a baby. He could have taken a strong stance on kids but he decided to actively participate on this. Like someone else posted here men who impregnate women have at least a financial responsibility even if it is a one night stand. He KNEW…

I am bad at remembering names but I have heard of people being banned for criticizing or correcting writers. They come back with different names to tell us about it but they eventually just leave. Being banned for correcting a writer would annoy me too.

Thanks! I will definitely check it out.

I am grateful but I also think that it is not hard for MILs to add the grand to the baby. Just call them “my grandbaby”. It should be easy.

Yeah if she lived away or if this were the only thing she did I would not even notice but she has opinions about everything, breastfeeding, baby clothes brands, diapers, food, sleeping, weight gain, etc. She tells me things she wants me to ask the pediatrician and report back to her (things I do not think are an issue…

What do you mean it eases up? What i worry about is that she has opinions that she does not hesitate to give about things like what I feed my child, how I care for him, she also implies that I am incompetent even though my child is perfectly happy and healthy. I can’t see how that will ease up with babysitting.
