I totally agree.

It doesn't sound like she went into labor. Baby was only “separate” from mother because of an emergency c to “save” the baby according to what I'm reading.

My Italian American parents never felt “white” in the American “accepted white” way until well into the 80s/90s. Jews were (and still are in many ways) in the same boat.

36 is hitting me hard. Had no problems throughout my 30s before this though.

A few decades ago, it was possible for my mom and dad—a young couple of moderately limited means—to have children, buy a home, and establish career tracks, but times have changed.

I gained about 16 and only lost 4. The baby, himself, was 6 pounds. I have no idea how this math works.

And by “broke” she means what exactly? I mean, won’t Foster owe her alimony? I’m sure Hadid was paying her alimony until she remarried.

It’s pricey (and some might say “old”) but Eileen Fischer is great quality. Not sexy per se, but I have a bunch of work appropriate LBDs from there. Also Talbots. I also like J Jill for cotton basics and sometimes Chicos. I’m a size 14 so the more mature cuts of these stores fit me so much better - particularly since…

You can see that trend in almost any store nowadays. Macy's used to have nice stuff; it's all rayonp/poly blend now.

Not sure of CA laws but in NYC tenants just need “proper notice” that landlord is coming by - usually defined as 24 hours and landlord can enter any time for an emergency. You could probably argue this was an emergency. The estate has rights to the lease, but they can also easily waive those rights and just agree with…

Meh. I did on day 6. I had to get diapers and onesies since he was super tiny.

Did I miss something? Poppies were a thing in the original.

I realize this is totally off topic but I had to share. I was watching the Facts of Life last night and it was the episode when Jo, Tootie, and Natalie deleted some computer files from a rival. A police officer comes into Edna’s Edibles and speaks and I’m like... NO WAY. IT CAN’T BE. IT HAS TO BE.

It seems like all of these rich “Hollywood” families are all somehow related. Seems sorta incestuous.

Yeah but most estates worth over $5.4M have already set up trust funds, etc.

NJ? My father recently passed and its pretty ridiculous how low the threshold is here.

During the Occupation Wall Street protests, I was asked to explain to a wealthy friend why many people were asking for college debt forgiveness. I try to stay out of politics with her, but she respects my opinion a lot and really didn’t understand the situation. I gently reminded her how lucky she was to have had her…

Yeah I don’t find it particularly patronizing personally. Then again, I host a local community “Mommy and Me” happy hour that has approx 40 women and kids attend... so maybe I’m not one to ask.

I can’t help but think this trivializes the dead serious business of parenting.

I bought the ultimate 90s color, Revlon’s Taste of New York just the other day as I know browns are back in. Everyone looked good in Taste of New York. Maybe its cause I’m an old now but its just not the same :-/
