I have the opposite problem in that I'm sure I'd be a great mom to a kid up until about age 12...but then what? I love young kids and have some kind of baby charisma. People comment on it a lot that young kids are oddly drawn to me - I don't have to do anything but sit there and they will throw themselves at me. …

They once referred to him as our new "hobby."

Exactly. We have child-free friends who constantly pontificate, even though we never bring up our son when we see them. They once referred to him as our new "hobby."

I've talked pretty openly about my inability to get pregnant and my decision not to pursue the medications and intervention route. If I'm going to be 100% honest, some of that is because I'm terrified I'd hate being a parent. I'm a parent to two step-children right now and I know I'm Ok at it. Adequate to the task.…

My grandmother had 12 children in the days before birth control, and regretted each one. She'd never wanted to get married and have kids. She always wanted to be a seamstress/clothing designer. She was physically and mentally abusive to her chindren. My mother remembers that the only thing she did that could be…

I understand why people would feel like they couldn't talk about this. If we're being honest about feelings here, I honestly felt no sympathy for the women above. To be honest, I saved all my sympathy for their children.

Yesterday was my due date. Still no baby. It's been a hell of an interesting experience being pregnant in our society. Highlights include not being catcalled on the street, not that I enjoy strangers commenting on my pregnancy (some people just can't resist speaking out about a woman's appearance) but not being street…

"Hey, you know what this Adrian Peterson thing reminds me of boss?"

Posting graphic pornography no one wants to see? There's a Kinja commenting section that I think Jimmy would love.

Jimmy is a douche canoe. Jimmy is a racist. Jimmy is probably also in need of mental health services.

This happened well before my time (early 1970s), but here is the story I heard:

This happened at my sister's wedding about 15 years ago, and it was at a country club. The groom's aunt was trying to start an argument with my mom over some dumb shit to do with the engagement party. Management asked the aunt to leave and as they were escorting her and her family out, her son (21 years old) came up…

Bears, you're well known for your bitchy one-liners in the comments section. Obviously the strength of your joke will depend greatly on the content of the article and the various directions you can take it.

Buffalo: NY's answer to Florida (despite the fact that there is a Florida, NY).

It's right here:

Really? It's dumb for me to say that physically disciplining a baby, who has no fucking concept of human words, much less "I'm doing this because you did that" connections is one lazy motherfucking way to be an adult with a child? There's no one year old in the world that deserves to have a hand laid on them!

exactly, at 1 years old they don't understand what is happening, why they are being punished, why what they did was wrong etc. At 1 years old come on now, their "bad behavior" stems from curiosity more than anything. Their not going over, about to touch the outlet because they're trying to be bad. I have a 1 year old,…

If you're disciplining a one year old, you aren't even fucking trying to parent.

They should suspend him without pay.

I think the stop sign speaks for all of us.
