And clearly she is not the kind to want a ‘real’ man in her life. She wants a doormat.

Good luck with that...

[umgud]

Geez, with looks like that, she probably won’t have any chilrens to worry about anyway.

[tumblindice]

She’s kinda got that ‘Edith Prickley’ (Andrea Martin) look going on with those spectacles.
And an Elizabethan touch with that ‘5’ forehead.
But she’s all that with her solid endorsement of Frau Goebbels Feed Description for Institutionaled Minors!

My son married one of these. Nothing but nightmares...

I love listening to people talk about what they are not going to do with THEIR kids.

It is so much fun to see their ivory towers crumble around them with each child, with each school year, with middle school, and then high school.

At one point you find yourself grateful that your kids class was the first one to sing at the Christmas Concert, only to have her puke up the cookies right after her performance. You get “credit” for going, but you can leave early.

A well-done brutal reminder!

Henry Luce is spinning in his grave.

Am I cursing them to a life of being social outcasts because mommy wants to feed them green smoothies and use unsweetened almond milk in their gluten-free cereal? I bet the little girl I saw drinking blue juice and eating a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos before 8 a.m. has LOTS of friends to go with her early onset diabetes. Don’t I want that for my children?

Yeah, because those are the only two options. Must be an Obama voter to build a straw man like that.

There is some evidence that exposure to germs at an early age builds the immune system.

Some kids that live antiseptic childhoods have immune system problems later, like allergies (an overreaction by the immune system).

[Stormdog]

“pescatarian”?

I thought she said “Presbyterian”...never mind

[Mastador1]

She wants kids? Best she stock up on a lot of be for the potential father...........................oh, and a nice big paper bag for her. No, I guess that would be for him too!

[60Gunner]

Yep. Those are grab rings. For leverage, dontchaknow.

[cydcharisse]

In 1948-49, our family doctor gave my mother this same advice. I still remember my mother’s astonished reaction.

Yeah, because those are the only two options. Must be an Obama voter to build a straw man like that.

More like a combined "Straw Man" and "False Dilemma" fallacy.

Ten years from now, when she is sitting in her local McDonald’s with her bare feet up on the chair, while her three screaming kids beat up people on the top level of the Playland, I hope she re-reads this drivel and has a good laugh.

FIFY

Ma used to say, “You’ve got to eat a pound of dirt before you die.”

[castlegreyskull]

Right now, there are at least a handful of people who I KNOW will never babysit my imaginary, yet-to-be born child. As far as they’re concerned, m........

That is the point where I stopped reading, she has no credibility to write about the matter of what she will or will not do with her kids. When and if she has a baby, she might find herself making decisions such as going to McDonalds on some days. Then again she might give the kid a vegan diet growing up, and when he is in college he eats McDonalds several times a week. BTW, she considers a father to be a babysitter?

[Nepeta]

Darn! I never saw the orange flavored ones!

[super7man]

I'm of the belief that if germs really exist, no one would live past the age of two

Oh, germs exist. I just decided they're good for you. Makes your kids have strong immune systems.
