Um. The Earth’s Children series is filled with graphic sex. Clan of the Cave Bear has a rape. And this kid was 10 when she read them???

I had 15 weeks, so I was lucky. Then I went back to work while my husband took leave from school to be with the baby. He was her primary caregiver for the next six months. It was the best choice for all—we didn’t have to put her in daycare, and my husband still says one of the best… Read More

I was at my sister’s house the other day, and without even thinking about it, I started straightening up her kitchen while we were talking. She looked at me and said, “wow, MOM!” And it’s true—my mom could never sit and chat with us. She was always cleaning/decluttering.

They’re calling themselves “protestors”—this shows what protestors really look like.

My family puts chopped boiled egg in steamed spinach. I thought it was so normal growing up until my husband told me how horrified he is every time we cook it. It’s so good, though!

A friend was at Trader Joe’s on a Sunday with his two little kids. As he was checking out, the manager gave him a free gingerbread house because he was “such a good dad” (because he was alone with two relatively well behaved children). There’s no way his wife would have gotten a prize… Read More

I babysat a 6 month old after a parent answered an ad I posted. The baby was asleep when I got there. Parents said the baby should probably sleep through the night so I could probably just do homework the whole time. An hour in, I wanted to make sure the baby is ok, so I go in her… Read More
