Babies start eating solids at 6 months or so, but milk (human or cow) is still a pretty big part of their diet. Toddlers who still nurse aren’t getting all their calories from breastmilk, they do eat solids. Typically they nurse once in the morning, once at naptime and once before bed.

Yes? Or longer? Often until 2-3 years of age. But once you get after 12 months or so it’s usually only a few times a day so nursing in public is less of a frequent and urgent need.

Yeah but honestly? They tend not to like it (even though it’s something that each and every one of us does). It shows “weakness.” What Americans tend to want is a leader who sticks to the same shitty opinion even after it’s been proved shitty over and over and over again. NEVER BACK DOWN! AMERICAN FUCK YEAH!

I think Miscavige is 5’2”? He’s really tiny, and apparently REALLY into bodybuilding. The chip on his shoulder probably adds at least 2 feet to his height.

Yep. We make $80k combined and have one kid. We live in a low cost of living city quite on purpose (aside from the fact that we just like it here all around and have family here). Our house is 800 square feet in an unhip (but safe, quiet, centrally-located) part of town and we drive 12-year-old cars. We are really…

Why not? Pittsburgh's economy is heavily skewed towards education, technology and medicine.

My parents are textbook authoritative parents (it was the 70s—they took classes!) and it has served me so, so well. I grew up independent, and to this day have a wonderful relationship with my parents. And they’re a great model for how I’m raising my son now.

Yes! We seem to be doing Huge Phones again and all of a sudden I need a purse because my tiny ladypockets won't hold my damn phone. And my favorite pair of pants (in all other regards) has fake back pockets. Wtf!

My career has really, mercifully been free of most of this bullshit but (and watch what I’m about to do here, MRAs and other assorted dudes) I completely believe the stories being told here. I’ve had enough sexism happen in other areas of my life that I know this shit is all fully, horribly true.

Hey, Lifehacker is already helpfully showing us how to live off the dividends of our investments, so all of our debt problems are solved now!

You've never lived in any part of the country that doesn't have public transportation, I see.

They're actually increasingly having a harder and harder time finding new recruits. Thankfully. There's really not that many active Scientologists left in the world, especially if you don't count people who say "Oh yeah I took a class or two once a few years ago and it was useful" but never went any further than that.…

Probably sometimes it's family stuff. I don't have a big extended family on my side, so I don't get sucked into cousin-needs-birdesmaids drama. I have been to maybe... four? weddings ever. I was the matron of honor in one (it was a small ceremony presided over by a local jazz chanteuse who is also a mail-order…

Holy crap, really?! No one has ever said boo to me about it. People ask if we're going to have another and I just smile and say, "Nope, we're one and done!" and they generally just laugh and nod. (Sometimes I also mention that I am 4o and girlfriend, I am tired enough with just the one.)

You are correct. One shower, one gift. If you are feeling awkward, you can send a card just saying hope you had a great time, I'll see you at the shower in July.

Right?

This post is making me feel like an old fucking married.

Yes, it's called a Hostess Gift. Flowers, booze (not necessarily to be consumed with dinner, just as a gift), a box of chocolates, something small like that. I mean, I don't do that for every dinner party I attend, it's situational (BFFs having me over for pizza and movies? Gift not required though I might bring some…

I would love to love unsweetened iced tea of all colors but alas, I do not. Too bitter. I take my black tea Builders' style, too: cream, sugar, lots.

A sweetened green milk tea is just unfrozen ice cream. And modern Asian fast-food cuisine has sweet milk tea out the yin-yang, if you'll pardon the expression. Bubble Tea, anyone?
