Bless you for sharing a story with a happy ending. It's been a rough week news-wise, so this is just what the doctor ordered.

oh man! i do know we were super-lucky. she was weirdly-motivated and we didn't even plan to have her toilet-trained so soon. i guess that's why i put mostly no stock in any particular "method" - just follow the kid and you can't go wrong.

Thank you for injecting some facts, compassion and common sense into all these snarky comments. Shaming people for having the time, interest or desire to do things like EC, co-sleep or cloth diaper is JUST AS BAD as shaming them for not doing those things. People in these comments need to stop being so judgy,…

i wish i could star this a thousand times.

It's a common misconception that diapers are not used with EC. Our kid and nearly every EC kid I know has/d diapers ofr back up.

This means that the kid is basically in diapers. You just remove them to potty the kid, and change the diaper in the normal way if it gets soiled, and it's no big deal.

Yeah, my boyfriend (who's been a parent for more than a decade) was like, "I don't know if you're qualified to write a parenting book until you've proven that you've raised not-a-murderer."

"What in the everloving fuck of all the fucks."

"It really burns my noodle when people who have benefited from good luck, good health care and/or won the genetic lottery take their good fortune as proof that they have somehow found the Holy Grail of parenting, and proselytize whatever kinky path they've taken as The Way."

I read the phrase elimination communication and had a conscious uncoupling from my sanity.

Ha! My SO came back from a wedding singing the praises of an Elimination Communication mom he met there, and how they just held the kid over a bucket. Yes darling, that sounds lovely, but neither of us wants to be a stay-at-home mom or dad. And you're so right, you tell a nanny or a preschool to look for the poop face…

RE #2 — I know an Elimination Communication (will never get old) mom, and I think it's hilarious that she believes her nanny is actually letting her kids crawl around bare-assed peeing all over the floors all day while she's at work. That lady is bringing diapers from home and doing a 5:15 garbage chute run or my…

Say what you want about the rest of her talking points but commercial diapers are the worst. Those things sit in landfills for years. I'm not going to hate on her for cutting back on waste.

She's the dick-sucking queen. She can't be bothered by semicolons.

If only the comma was a semicolon, I'd agree.

Always have the upper hand, you don't need to know his name to hop on his tic tac.

I read Kreyshawn Johnson as kreayshawn and gasped

Tom loves you and wishes you a very, very happy birthday.

Why the fuck do people put gold flakes in food? It doesn't improve the taste or appearance, and just seems like an excuse to jack up the cost. I might as well sell a Mojito with a diamond chips floating in it for $100,000.
