This Jojo thing. It’s not normal, right? For a 16 year old to be “besties” with 7 year olds?  What in gods name is she wearing?  There is just something really off here, and I don’t see it ending well. 

It was a very strange tone.

Man, this one sucks. He seemed like a nice, normal guy. 

Revolutions aren’t generally polite.

If I ever saw 3 lionesses coming at me like that I would assume I was as good as dead. I mean, hell, if I ever saw 3 house cats coming at me like that I would assume I was as good as dead

Heart kids like mine should still get to enjoy the playground even though they might need a little help with the walk home later. They aren’t completely unable to move. They just tap out a little sooner. 

That sucks, and also thank you for reminding us all that we never know other people’s stories. 

I used to judge strollers, but now I have a kid with a heart condition who might need one for longer ventures at that age, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from looking at her that she isn’t healthy. 

“I will always encourage my kids to walk and 8/10 that’s what they choose. But there’s nothing wrong with having a plan”

I was with you at first on the breastfeeding into childhood. I was on the fence with the leash— my kids never needed it, but if I lived in an urban area and my kid kept running into the road or away from me in crowds, I’d try it.

I’m glad it worked out for your kids so well but it’s specious to say that kids who have tantrums about food have unhealthy relationships with food.

I suspect this is exactly how my daughter will be when we go to Disneyland and I put her on a leash. For the love of God I’m not chasing her through Disneyland!

I thought the point about watching the small children with food had less to do with the food choices offered, and more to do with the fact that toddlers are still learning to eat, and need to be supervised - by somebody - to prevent choking.

“My son’s in first grade and there is a classmate...”

My little brother had to be leashed. No matter how tightly you held his hand or watched him he’d wiggle loose and BOOK IT. They almost had to shut down a SEARS once bc they couldn’t find him. Little shit was hiding in a clothing rack giggling. Mom said if she didn’t leash him one of them was gonna die. Either him…

Seriously. Convincing people that the free, healthy food breasts make for small humans is somehow shameful or tainted or damaging to children because it comes from breasts (and oh no, men like to sexualize those!) has got to be one of the most damaging things foods industry marketing has ever done.

My cousin breasted until her daughter was 3. I bet she doesn’t know anything about natural motherhood. We are Mexican immigrants. This is just the way our grandmas did it. Our moms tried to do it and they (doctor’s, hospital, maternity leave policies in Mexico) wouldn’t let them. Once we got to the US and were…

I am trying to resist the snark here... oh hell, I can’t. 

I’ve nursed, pumped, and used formula. While I agree that nursing offered up a special form of bonding, pumping meant that my partner could participate in feeding and he could more closely bond with our baby. He could also better support me because he knew he could jump in just as easily for night feedings, outings,…
