I blame the “wellness” fads. The naturalistic fallacy is in full swing — if humans do it but other species don’t, it must be unnatural and thus bad.

In the defense of the Sesame Street people, Kermit and Miss Piggy are from a very different show, despite the fact that both shows have muppets. Grover, Elmo, Big Bird, Oscar, etc are not shown as having sexuality either.

I couldn’t breastfeed due to medications I needed to be on from the day she was born. My mental health was more important than the overstated (and limited) benefits of breastmilk for a term infant who was incredibly healthy (thank god). I had bad enough PPD with the psych meds titrating up to full strength. I can only…

Listen! In DC all they push is breast feeding, which is fine for women who genuinely want to, but as expensive as this area is...I knew I had to go back to work. It’s insane to think that I was supposed to feel a way towards the pump, it was helpful! I ended going formula only after a month because breastfeeding is…

If you go back to work and breastfeed, that’s basically your option. Not everyone can or wants to stay home.

I also never pumped, though.  I was one of those awful formula feeding moms.

I’m praying it’s Claire.

Let’s not kid ourselves folks - deep down we’re hoping it’s Manny.  With Luke as the # 2 option.  But yes, it’ll likely be a “recurring” character rather than a regular.  

Yeah, I’m fine with social drinking and I think wine is delicious! I just find it weird that we’re talking about day drinking in the shower and using coke cans and sippy cups to hide the alcohol and no one finds this concerning at all given a) the target demographic of this site and b) recent statistics about women in…

Packaged as something clever and “empowering”!

Wow, this ad and accompanying comment section totally aren't concerning re: the current spike in alcoholism among women!

Buying a tamogotchi from a store is cruel when there are so many waiting to be adopted at the weekly flea market at the shut down drive in.

Did you not take any anatomy classes in high school? The way your body processes everything you put in or on your body is complex, and your liver and kidneys get involved. The reason a nasal spray might affect your kidneys is that your kidneys filter out impurities in the blood and ensure you pee them out. The liver…

My friend told me about these ten years ago and I thought she had lost her mind. How hard is it to make your kid a sandwich every day for lunch? I found out when my son went to Kindergarten and I went back to work full time. I didn’t buy Uncrustables, but I did rely on those mini packs of Goldfish that I had…

I’ve pretty much had to do all maternity shopping online this time.  I can get a FEW basics (like t-shirts) at Target, but that’s about it.  And I’ve found a few things on Zulily but shipping takes so long the kid is in middle school before your order arrives. 

The only place I’ve found decent work-worthy maternity clothes was Asos. And they tend to have good sales and clearances.

Another bra related tip; nursing bras can be very expensive and wildly uncomfortable. Sports bras on the other hand... are supportive, and stretchy enough for nursing, and usually not too pricey - even if you have to replace them. So if your wife chooses to nurse, and finds nursing bras don’t work for her, there are…

I am still getting Vogue and I don’t even know how!!!!

Yeah, their stuff is cute, and higher quality, but still mostly synthetic. Colors are often garish. I’ve been sticking with goodwill lately for quality. 

Right, it ostensibly goes towards paying for better quality fabrics and more skilled composition. That’s why people say ‘you get what you pay for’. Unfortunately, when the economy went to shit, that concept did too. You will rarely find a garment at the mid or high price point that is worth its cost. Dolce and Gabbana…

Our obsession with cheap clothes is killing clothes. That’s why everything is see through and stretchy and you can’t find a decent pair of pants. I wish we would just buy fewer items of higher quality instead of having closets stuffed full of Forever 21.
