Maybe, maybe not. Life isn’t necessarily like a sitcom/movie where folks plan fiendishly to destroy the nerd, different or outcast. If in fact the child is having a hard time making friends then the other parents probably felt no need to force their kids to attend the party because the kids said they didn’t want to…

True Beanie Baby story: a friend’s child had quite the collection and they were arrayed neatly on special shelves around her room. A visitor innocently asked “where did you get the bat one?” WHAT BAT ONE?!?!? It was a real bat (and a big one) snugged side by side with pink and blue fuzzies on either side. Cue much…

when you are invited to something, the etiquette is that you attend

If the kid was just a weird little kid I would tell my kid to go. However, my kid was once punched in the stomach by a kid on the spectrum. If she was invited to his party and she didn’t want to go, I wouldn’t make her and would not feel any guilt about it. If she wanted to go, I'd let her but no way would I encourage…

This. When my kids were that age we declined plenty of birthday parties. Sometimes it wasn’t even that they didn’t like the other kid, more just that they weren’t really friends. If your kid is also involved in scouts and sports you will end up at some kid’s birthday party every weekend if you don’t start RSVPing no…

Can I just say that it may not be a case of kids and their parents being dicks? As a mom of two, I simply couldn’t let my children attend every party for which they received invitations. Most parties are on the weekends. Between chores, sports/practice/games/clubs, errands, family events, and just being plain tired…

Maybe the parents didn’t know the kid was disabled?

So there you go.

Yes, this bugs the hell out of me, I think some women count “labor” from the first contraction, before they’re even at regular intervals. I have one friend who would not STFU about being in labor for 3 days and in my head I was like “oh, honey, that’s adorable.” As someone else said, no doc will get you go much past…

I had prodomal labor for 24 hours with each kid. Then my water broke and each time the kid arrived within 15 minutes - two pushes for the first, three for the second.

Because Gwen has her kids on a lime and cayenne cleanse so they won't get fat, duh.

I mean, look. It's not like she took this super seriously to begin with. 29 dollars a week means rice, beans, pasta and some bananas if you're lucky.

I have never, ever met those people. Ever. Maybe I’m friends with a different sort of person, but not one parent I know (and I know a lot) has ever posted anything gross involving any bodily function. In fact, no one I know has ever posted a rant against someone doing this. If you aren’t a friend of anyone with kids,…

Why are people so touchy about kid pictures?? Unless your kid is naked or making some sort of gross bodily emission, can't most people just handle scrolling on past to more important updates, like complaining about traffic or pictures of brunch?

Like, human beings grew inside you. You are a person factory!

Yeah, I don’t give a fig about what people eat for lunch or their new shoes but I just ignore or maybe even supportively comment “Hey, looking good, I don’t know how you can wear such high heels, I’m jelly”

When I had kids I just unfriended every cool person I knew until all I had left was family and some equally irritating parent friends. It was the only fair solution for everyone.

I get that you need to make an engaging headline that will pull in readers, but seriously?

When one becomes a dildologist, does their Ph.D. stand for Phalluses and Dildos?
