Delivery room drama: Has birth become a spectator sport?
Mon May 20, 2013
- Fortunately this was not an issue for me. I set my foot firmly down and it was just my husband, doula, and nurse (with the occassional OB appearance). My husband and doula traded off updating family in the waiting room and after baby had arrived and we had a moment to bond and nurse, my …
'Pinterest stress' afflicts nearly half of moms, survey says
Sat May 11, 2013
- In reply to: sadiefivekids #5 AMEN!! There is a complete difference in what people post online and their 'real' life most of the time. Also, just because someone Pins something, doesn't mean they are actually making it.
Mom's work is never done – and now it's worth less, too
Mon May 6, 2013
- I'm a woman. I work full-time and have a child. By noon on Saturday I have usually gotten in a work-out, cleaned house, made baby food by scratch, as well as my lunch by scratch for the next week, so I really do think housework is exaggerated.
Wedding spending on the rise - for guests
Mon Apr 29, 2013
- I mean, if we are talking flight, hotel, food during stay (outside the rehearsal dinner and wedding), dress and other incidentals, yep.
MDs warn teens: Don't take the cinnamon challenge
Mon Apr 22, 2013
- This is a good warning. Even the smartest folks might not see any true risk in swallowing a teaspoon of a spice that you normally eat anyway.
Who wears short shorts? Your daughter ... in P.E. class
Tue Apr 2, 2013
- Dance shorts cover a lot more than leotards do. Running shorts are designed short for a purpose. I wouldn't let my daughter run around town in them, but for athletics I do not see why not? As the first poster said, what do they wear when they are swimming??
Kindergarten redshirting: One mom's dilemma
Mon Apr 1, 2013
- It all depends on the child. I had an early fall birthday and my mom redshirted me because she just felt I was too young (4 years old turning 5). However, I was socially and academically ready and ended up skipping to 1st after 2 weeks in KD the next year. I graduated and started c …
Parental estrangement: A 'silent epidemic' of cut-off kids
Mon Apr 1, 2013
- AMEN to Holli! Right now we have grandparents acting like they have been wrongly "shut-out". Years of dealing with legitimate craziness led to this decision as we do not want our child being treated in this same way. The grandparents mope about like we have wronged them, but my chi …
Duggars consider adopting their 20th child
Tue Mar 26, 2013
- Maybe they could donate some money to infertile couples that have a hard time affording adoption. Maybe God would like to see them use their wealth to help others and not just add to their brood.
Boys, 9 and 10, show mom how to perform CPR and help save infant
Fri Mar 15, 2013
- We learned infant CPR in a childbirthing class; however I realized when I got her home that if she ever stopped breathing I don't know that I would have my wits about me to do it!

Questions & Answers

Broadcasting your pregnancy on YouTube: Is it TMI?
No. It's healthy to share, and if you don't like it, don't watch it.
J.Crew ad stirs up controversy with pink nail polish
Adorable
What do you think of educational programs for babies?
They're a waste of time and money.
Is it OK to drink while pregnant?
Yes, drinking in moderation is fine.
- For some. If you feel you can't drink moderately abstain completely.
Would you pay $1,500 for a stroller?
No, that's just a crazy amount to spend on a stroller.
Do you worry about artificial dyes in food?
Yes, and I've stopped eating foods with artificial dyes

Does push-up bikini for little girls cross the line?
Yes, it's unacceptable
Do you let your teenager drink alcohol at home?
Yes, an occasional glass of wine or beer at dinner
- That makes no sense. Parents should never have a glass of wine with dinner? A child shouldn't see examples of responsible drinking. Drinking is legal you know.
- People eat dinner at home too, which is what I was specifically talking about. Also, it takes around an hour for an alcoholic drink to metabolize in your body. It takes about an hour to eat dinner at a restaurant.
- Maybe a little wine, but parents need to remember that brains are still developing during this time. Tasting is not the same as drinking.
Were the parents of a 6-year-old cheerleader right to complain about a 'booty' cheer?
Yes. The cheer was inappropriate for the child's age.
- Are you kidding me - that is DISGUSTING for cheerleaders to be using at any age! It has nothing to do with cheering on the team.
Should restaurants have the right to ban 'screaming children'?
Yes
- I completely agree and think it should be extended to all patrons.
