I just wish people realized how short the window is. When he was three, I took my son to the Lights at the Zoo thing. Just the two of us, because our daughter was an infant and she stayed home with my wife.

i am right there with you. to be honest, i was a bit shocked by some of the comments. they come off really judgy and snooty, claiming they would never “lie” to their kids and i find that a little frustrating.

We do the elf. I’m into it, I really love crafty things so this is like a holiday crafty challenge., I post some of my favourite ones on my instagram. My kid isn’t having this terrified reaction though, she usually finds it and says that Pinpin is funny.

Most of these people value their careers and don’t want to deal with the long term derailment that a break long enough to care for multiple children until the youngest goes to preschool causes. About half of them are also families where the woman is the higher earner, which makes matters complicated both because of…

And then when your husband leaves you with the five kids he said he wanted, you’ll easily be able to jump back into the workforce. It's foolproof!

If she had insight and bravery it wouldn’t have taken the murder of 9 people for her to call for its removal. I guess this move towards “decent human being” is step in the right direction, though.

Something tells me it’s not so much insight and bravery as much as covering her own ass due to massive amounts of pressure

What bravery? She didn’t give a fuck a year ago and doesn’t give a fuck now. Fuck her and that goddamned “flag.” She's not brave, she's a politician doing a symbolic gesture that she doesn't have the authority to actually get done. The legislature has that power, not her, and she knows this. Also, why wait till 4:00…

Thin Mints are gross.

My ring is made out of organically-grown, free-range lentils and the artisans who made it actually paid me to take it off their hands.

I like Pope Francis very, very much, and I am glad that he said this but here's the reality - the vast majority of Catholic women in the U.S., for instance, have utilized artificial birth control methods. And that's why Catholic women in this country have fewer children. In places where women are empowered, they will…

If your friends are too rude to RSVP, I'll come. This sounds like fun. (And I'll RSVP.)

People who don't RSVP when you're spending your own money to entertain them, thus causing you to have to overdo it on the food and beverages, are the WORST. I hate these people. It's one thing to not show up to your friends party down the street that was thrown together that day for drinking, it's another thing to not…

I remember before I got pregnant myself when I thought both those things were totally acceptable things to say about pregnant women's bodies too.....

Today I brewed my morning coffee with Nikki Haley's tears.

As a South Carolinian, allow me to offer a thoughtful WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was super excited by the fourth circuit's original ruling, which should have had us issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples months ago, but our…

not a big deal at all except for tone. The Big Bang was first theorized by Fr. Georges Lemaitre, a Jesuit priest and given the blessing of the pope almost immediately. In the midfifties the pope said that there's was no reason a catholic couldn't except Darwinism. Pope John Paul II said there was no debate and that…

Hmmm... making it impossible for the guest to attend is a strategy of culling your guest list, but a more genteel and, I'd venture to say, decent, option is to be an adult and trim your list so as it matches exactly both your preferences and your budget.

YAY!!! A real, honest-to-God Science writer! Jezebel, you have answered our collective prayers!!!

I went real country when I first read that and thought "You can't eat dip. You spit that shit out." /North Carolinian
