WAH WAH WAH. Nobody is going to alter their behavior because you decided to have kids, dude.

Just scheduled a Saturday birthday brunch with two 40 year olds and their 4 year old daughter at Venturo Osteria. Come at me bro.

As the resident Paul Bunyan in many of my relationships, please don't do that. It's pretty condescending and infantilizing. I'm on to people who do it, and it makes me feel manipulated, and honestly, rather angry.

Same with cats. No matter what toys you buy them they always gravitate to household ephemera. And the world's best scratching post won't save your couch.

Ok well you can send me the kitchen. I am deeply enamored of toy kitchens, even though I have a house with a real kitchen that I use mostly for making coffee and taking bites directly from the block of whatever fancy cheese my husband bought last. But the toy kitchen I had as a kid? The greatest thing that has ever…

"But what do you expect with creatures who eat crayons and spend half their time trying to take their clothes off?"

do not shit on my hippie dreams. Santa is bringing one of those sumbitches to our home next Christmas. I've been looking for the right one for a year.

Yup. Forget the adorably, fully-stocked antique kitchen I found at a thrift store. No, my kid is busy with a week-old balloon animal that basically looks like a large pink condom at this point.

I believe this is real, or at least true. I used to spend so much time poring over the Hearthsong catalog, and Nova Natural, looking at wooden European toys that we couldn't afford to buy, and when we did buy them, he ignored them or chewed them.

The one thing I've learned after 4 kids is to never spend more than 20 bucks on a toy. The excitement always wears off within a month. But what do you expect with creatures who eat crayons and spend half their time trying to take their clothes off?

MrsDoctorAndroid has MS. I knew this when I met her. I knew this when I fell in love with her. It isn't an issue. We are a great match for each other. Now, MS is not one of those diseases that has much of a noticeable impact on everyday life (her form of it, anyway), but she needs to take meds, she tires easily,…

In fairness, I look *amazing* in a dress.

Way to completely misread the article! Bravo!

Having a disease or disorder and trying to date can be hell. There are a lot of disrespectful people who misunderstand the struggle those people go through. But it's extremely possible to find someone who not only is not bothered by it but wants to help you take care of yourself. I have had Crohn's disease for 15…

I met a wonderful girl with an auto immune disorder. I waited until she had surgery to help it before i proposed. She got healthy, we got married. It is EXTREMELY difficult to have a partner who is sick, weak and generally unable to do stuff for long, random periods that cannot be planned for.

And that, boys and girls, is how you really Lean In.

Is anyone on Earth surprised by this?
