“Fuck. So close.”

Thanks all for the hugs and kind words! I felt really alone forty years ago- so the internet can do some good in the world!

Oh man. I’m so sorry for your loss. I totally connect with your worry too.

I can speak to this because I lost my first baby to SIDS at 3 1/2 months in 1976. Back then, you always put your baby to sleep on his/her stomach so they wouldn’t strangle on vomit. My baby was with a babysitter; I had gone back to work 2 weeks before she died. I don’t know if she was lying on her back or stomach. I…

I always heard (from our pediatrician and elsewhere) that if the baby rolls himself over, it’s fine to let him sleep that way.

Naah, that’s the COOL version of pink-and-green!! The preppie version was absolutely traaaaagic. Imagine a green sweater shoulder-tied around this, and there we have it:

*TOSSES WAIST TRAINER ASIDE IN DESPAIR*

Why is it bad to sell your looks, intellegence and temperment but not that you are a high wage earner? Is that not something you’d prefer in a mate? That’s not to say it’s a requirement. But I certinaly am looking for someone who can support himself. And six figures suggests he either has a history of achievement in…

He’s talking Lilly Pulizer. It was the 80s after all. He wasn’t wrong.

Despite his comments about at least two of his daughters (Tiffany here, the comments about Ivanka saying “If she weren’t my daughter...”), I actually don’t think he wants to have sex with his own children. Rather, I think he believes that the highest compliment you can give a woman is to call her fuckable. Which leads…

I don’t even know where I would wear this but I want....

The continued referring to her son as “MY son” not, “THEIR son.” ......

This is incredible!! Fuck yes, little girl, scoop all those professional reporters. Collect your Pulitzer in 10 years and laugh in their faces.

When I was pregnant the best advice I got was from my boss at the time, a kind of blunt dude, who said “Just don’t file any divorce papers until after the kid turns 2.” I was like uh, what? And he clarified that it’s just such an adjustment, like a cute little bomb goes off in your life, that it can take a year or two…

As a major-league fan of Mr. Rogers who didn’t expect this spin-off to merit the same kind of enthusiasm, I’m gonna have to disagree pretty vehemently. There are plenty of cheesy crap kids’ shows that are *educational* in all the most superficial and irritating ways, but Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is teaching a…

This is some BULL-SHIT.
Daniel Tiger is totally fine. It’s simple and fun and doesn’t feature a shit ton of yelling (as a lot of kids shows do).
The only real wrinkle in the show is the completely insufferable Prince Wednesday, who prefaces everything with “royal” and then is the biggest crybaby whenever anything…

There's hope for us all.

My daughter loved to play catch. I've joked she was the son I always wanted (and I have a son...). I've always felt guilty about saying no when asked to play. Don't get me wrong, I said "yes" a lot because I enjoyed it too. But some times... some times I just needed "dad" time.
