You should write it. What’s stopping you? I, for one, have seen this video bouncing around Facebook for the past few days and am very glad that the author used it to anchor this piece.

Perhaps you are not representative of the “Older Generation” in total? I wouldn’t take internet comments so seriously.

She is just not good.

My daughter just got her 6 month shots (FOUR at one time) yesterday. I needed this man.

Also, if you are thinking of Birchbox, use my referral code: https://www.birchbox.com/invite/sjmr4

I’m telling you, it’s the best $10 I spend every month and even when they send me shit I don’t want, I have fun passing it off to my friends and sister.

Start watching the TV series you always meant to watch, but never got around to. When I was particularly unmoored after the collapse of a long-term relationship, having a few DVDs of the upcoming episodes gave me something to do after work, and also something that I was TOTALLY willing to blow off if something better…

Birchbox, long baths, subscriptions to both Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, occasional nailpolish shopping sprees at CVS and legal weed delivery (thank you, California). I feel pretty successful in my self-care regimen.

Thank you. I am in daycare hell right now and this is exactly the chuckle I needed. I am henceforth referring to the babysitter as “the bootstrap factory.” Thank you, internet stranger. And with that, I am signing off for the night.

I just had one and yes they are.

Also, I would call a blog post on parenting to be a situation where the author - assuming he is addressing other parents - would be appropriate in using that level of specificity. Do you give the Jalopnik writers a hard time for stating the specs of a car, or would “really fast ‘cause of engine-stuff” be better for…

I was just translating it into “parent language.” I also found this unnecessary and overly precious before I had kids, but now I understand why it is done. Now you also know, and the fact that you “literally” do not even care is fine by me!

A one-year old is just learning to walk, tentatively toddling across the living room. A fifteen month old is running from room to room, tearing into everything, proving your worthlessness at “babyproofing” your own home. There is absolutely a difference.

So far, the most interesting thing I’ve found is Olena’s ex-boyfriend’s IG: https://instagram.com/robrtvanderpir…

I keep a rejects box and offer it up to any friends that stop by to visit - honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts of the whole subscription box thing. Share the bounty!

1/2 or higher, at least in my group of educated/professional 30-somethings. I was at a BBQ and when one friend admitted to having only one glass of wine during her entire pregnancy, all the other women were SHOCKED. We all drink/drank in moderation through our pregnancy.

My 4 month old kid doesn’t have a middle name. She get’s to pick her own when she turns 12 or 13. The husband and I are still drafting up some sort of formal “you’re almost an adult now, here is your great privilege and responsibility” ceremony, but in reality it was just that her first and last name sound so good…

I was pregnant recently, and being touched by strangers was also a BIG concern for me. I think I gave off a strong enough vibe to stay the fuck away, because never once did anyone go for an uninvited belly rub - strangers or family. Funnily enough, it turned out that I LOVED having people rub “the belly” (mostly…

You can accuse Kris Jenner of a lot, but “not caring” isn’t on that list.

I have a feeling nothing I could say would make my point “well taken” by you. When you’re in a position to face decisions about what to do with a fetus who wont live for more than a few minutes outside the womb, you can have an opinion. Until then, just focus on being an awesome aunt - I think your niece/nephew is…

Ah ha - here is the voting record: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2015/roll2…
