It irks me that she blurs out the last names.

No no. Let everyone see who these fucking freakshow dickwallets are.

all they need to say is ‘stop being such a little shit’ or something like that (as long as the kid can’t read)

Add anyone who thinks going on and maintaining public assistance is easier than getting a job. Those people deserve a punch in the face too.

Former poor person—used to be reliant upon food boxes and lived in public housing while living without health insurance (had an infant covered by low income health insurance, but my then husband and I were not). You are profoundly misinformed. Ramen and Kool Aid are indeed cheaper than rice and orange juice or milk.…

Call me paranoid, but having lived and traveled through various countries I’m going to advance the craaaaaaazy conspiracy theory that public transportation in most of the United Stes is designed to torment and humiliate the poor rather than to actually be useful and reliable.

also, crushing stress, some days all you want is mayo and potatos...

If there’s anyone out there that actually thinks being poor is simple, then they deserve a right punch in the face.

He’s not complicit. He’s solely responsible. He’s a reproductive abuser who took advantage of her profound mental illness. She didn’t want to have more children. Her doctor told him she couldn’t have more children. And he forced her to anyway. Then her doctor told him she couldn’t be allowed alone with the children.…

He is such a scumbag that words fail me. Before she met him she was a nurse at the prestigious M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and gave up her life to follow him around for his career and his religion, only to be totally failed by him in every way. Yet he forgives her.

Heard that. I’m a true crime freakaleek, and any show I’ve seen on this case tries to make Andrea Yates the unfortunate, but villainous character while praising her husband and his strength getting through such a hard time. It was clear to me she was a truly troubled woman who listened to her God and husband tell her…

Slightly off topic but the fact that Rusty Yates isn’t sitting in prison still angers me to no end. When he went on Oprah and said he “forgave her”, I about lost my mind.

“When most professionals in the legal field are pulling 10-14 hour days,”

I agree.

Look, Jezzies, I too am ready to settle for Hillary Clinton’s brand of hypercentrist pantsuited warhawking. But let me pine for Bernie, in the green pastures of America’s unreachable left field, for just a few more months.

Depends on how you define success. Working that much is a choice, not a mnadate.

For me it comes down to one point: Did the author specifically ask whether she could bring the baby? If she did, then sentencing her to a breastfeeding room without warning is a jerk move on the part of the organizer, no question.

I agree, but it’s the not-so-self-aware moms that ruin it for everyone.

This kind of stunt very often goes along with prosperity gospel theology, which is pretty destructive stuff. Maybe that’s not their theology but if it is we really don’t want to celebrate them.
