Thank you! Now that she is 13 months she does not stand for any hats we call her "a dead end kid".
Our babies don't like to wear their hats, either. It's a drag ... their little bald heads get sunburned!
Pish-tosh! People who have enough kids for a baseball team are breeding their own private cultural army! I could tell you stories ...
And David Brooks is a conservative like I'm a redhead ... in exactly the right light, if you don't look at the roots *too* closely ...
Blue America has veered so far off course, it doesn't realize that Red America is the way America has always been. Blue and Red America remind me of the Eastern and Western Roman empires. The Western empire decayed and fell in 440 A.D., but the Eastern empire flourished and lasted another 1000 years.

How do you feel about hormone crazed, surly, recalcitrant teens? That's what those cute little critters become (for a while at least).
What I figure is that foundations dictate the shape of a house, so we've been strict with our two. We scold them, spank them when appropriate, demand "yes sir"s and no buts. Hubby and I want to get all the really tough groundwork laid by the age of six, on the principle that they can't hate us for what they can't remember LOL!
We also give out copious hugs and kisses, tell them we love them twenty times a day, and keep them well occcupied. It's working so far :)
I hope it works. Good luck and remember, even if one gives you grief it won't last too long.
Good for you. I really want to adopt a child, as well.
I just couldn't make it past this asinine statement. These people have no clue and likely never will.
I can buy a DVD of a sophisticated movie ... "Casablanca," for example, or "Double Indemnity," for $6 at Wal-mart. Or I can check it out of the library for free!
We were blessed with only one child, as well. She has been the joy and light of our lives.
Yes, those freaks having babies, we better keep an eye on 'em!
Very often they have sacrificed pleasures like sophisticated movies...
I'll put up Toy Story 2 as being as funny and meaningful as any art-house piece of crap produced by some drug-addled sexually-ambivalent Manhattanite...
...restaurant dining...
Yes, I really want to pay $18.95 for eight ounces of pasta that cost 12 cents, and a few overcooked pieces of squash or whatever spread over top, and $6.50 for a glass of wine which is no better than the stuff we can get at Costco for $5 a bottle.
...and foreign travel...
Why would a citizen of the greatest country on earth, with some of the most diverse and breath-taking scenery and wonderful tourist and historical attractions, want to spend large amounts of money to go to some pissant "country" such as France and be subjected to smelly, provincial, arrogant people who are jealous of our power and lifestyle and try to hide that through a veneer of rudeness and hostility?
...let alone competitive careers and disposable income, for the sake of their parental calling.
Gee, I guess writing ignorant articles for a disgraced and dying rag such as the New York Times and having money to waste on restaurants and abortions is so much more important and rewarding than raising the next generation of human beings!
And hopefully it won't be too long before your productive Indiana has more electoral votes than most of the blue states! God bless you Hoosier natalists!!!
Remember this -- the liberal who killed two of her children because she did not want to shop at CostCo?

The best answer to that question was posted yesterday by Huck:
I finally did leave the USA this year for a few hours, but that was just to get a better view of the USA. I was at Niagara Falls. So while I can no longer say I have never left the country, I can say the only time I did leave, was to get a better vantage point from which to view the USA. I love my country.

”You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being”
I remember that, and I still feel sick when I think of all the couples I know who are waiting to adopt children. No one has to bring up a child they don't want to. They just use that as an excuse, because it sounds better than saying, "I want to kill!"
What a cute little guy!
