I suppose you are right!

Yes, but if you read it on the internet, it must be true! :-)

YES. The whole “family is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVAR DON’T DARE DISRESPECT YOUR FAMILY YOUR FAMILY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO WILL BE THERE FOR YOU FOREVER” myth is really, really tiresome. As is the “a mother would KILL for her offspring!” myth. My experience was, “well, she might kill ME, but I don’t think she’d care…

The company. saying. “We were wrong.” is. real. evidence.

So how do you judge when it’s “real” racism or just some annoying black person getting their feelings hurt? Are you the arbiter? What are the criteria for knowing “racism-racism” vs. “hurt-fee-fees-racism”?

Is there a reason to disbelieve them solely on their account? Because they’re black? Because they’re women? Which?

“Gravity” made me sick to my stomach. So did “Blair Witch Project,” so there’s that.

I found “Man on Wire” very comforting, because it reminded me of a truly great feat between two amazing buildings. It brought back good memories associated with the twin towers.

The kid with the weird long hair parted in the middle in “Third Rock from the Sun”? He’s old enough to play an adult now? Huh.

“Man on Wire” was SO. AWESOME. I was about 13 when Petit made his walk, and watching it brought back amazing memories. We lived across the river in NJ and were all excited about “the new Twin Towers” and his walk was absolutely magical.

55 years old, and no sooner does the blood burrito problem end than you are facing pee burritos.

Do you have kids? Just wondering.

I think labeling this as “drama” is sexist and anti-mother. What is a walk in the park for you can be very difficult for someone else. I was abused, and when my son was a newborn, my own feelings of abandonment and fear would rise up every time I put him down. Sorry that doesn’t pass your anti-drama judgment. Yes, it…

I don’t think people are saying “you’re not allowed” to be alone. I think most people here have expressed their own anxiety/discomfort at leaving their baby alone. Every parent is different.

It’s not a matter of safety, necessarily. It’s dependent upon your baby’s personality and your tolerance for everything motherhood-related. Those hormones are POWERFUL. Unbelievably so.

Oh, they used to do enemas - and shave off all your pubic hair - as a matter of course.

Same here. I totally GET you.

It’s not a trend. It depends on how you cope when you’re a new mother. Please don’t shame people. Mothers are so alone as it is.

Ass-wiping. Forever. Until you think you will be following them around at kindergarten. Even then, they aren’t good at it, and by bath time, they have a serious case of stink-ass.

Sigh. Lock them both out. Tell him to deal with it ... like you do.
