Day Care Centers Cut Off Babies From Breast Milk {ParentDish}

May 15th 2011 10:54PM If it's that important to mothers to provide breast milk to their babies, then either take the time off from work until all your children are in school or hire a nanny or babysitter to stay in your home and pump the milk.

Frozen Donor Eggs Could Give Women More Pregnancy Options {ParentDish}

Apr 10th 2011 9:43PM In my opinion the reason why so many women are infertile today is because 1 - they wait too long to have their first child. The ideal age for a first child to me is between 25 - 30. 2- they go on the pill for a long period of time - for many years without taking a break and that affects their ability to produce eggs. A lot of women want to focus on a career first but the reality is nature has not caught up with the times.

Will This Name Doom My Baby? {ParentDish}

Shocker -- Survey Finds Mothers-in-Law Very Unpopular With Wives {Lemondrop}

Oct 18th 2010 3:35PM Even though it was tacky of your mother-in-law to react that way in public I could understand her frustration with bad grammar. It makes us appear uneducated and lazy. The worst is when people think they sound smart by substituting I for me as in
"Between you and I". Don't people remember the "object of the preposition". It should be "between you and me". I don't care if everyone thinks I've wasted my time on this post. It's disgraceful that in this day and age we sound dumber than ever.

Project Husband -- She's Got the Gown, Now She Needs the Groom {Lemondrop}

Aug 10th 2010 1:21AM There are six billion people in this world. Nobody should be alone. There should be someone for everyone. Maybe I'm too idealistic but I think she is clever and if she doesn't find her soul mate then she will donate the wedding to an engaged couple. Too many people wait for life to happen to them rather than going out and making it happen. That's why there are so many miserable people in this world and most of them are probably the ones who are criticizing this woman. Be proactive, set goals and at least try to make them happen. I do agree with her that men should be the pursuers but there is nothing wrong in meeting and dating different guys if you get the chance. Opportunity is like a wheel of fortune, when it stops at your number you need to grab the prize.

'Liespotting' Book Sharpens Your BS Detector Skills {Asylum}

Dating Brian -- One Guy's Attempt to Game the Dating Scene {Asylum}

Jul 17th 2010 11:10PM It never ceases to amaze me that in a world with over 6 billion people and a city like New York with over 8 million people, there are so many single, unattached young people. What's wrong with the younger generation. My husband who is now in his late sixties had no problem getting women when he was young. He pursued me relentlessly before we started dating. He told me upfront his intentions were good and he meant it. He's as charming as ever. The younger generation wants to be "cool" which means you don't show your feelings, play stupid games and don't commit. Women love when men do the pursuing. I would think overly aggressive women would be a turn off to men but society is changing. Nice men and women seem to be the losers because the rules have changed and nice people do seem to finish last in the dating world. Today it's about wasteful hook ups and STDs.

Mama, Make Me a Match {ParentDish}

Jul 14th 2010 7:41PM I think many of you are too cynical and are missing the point. There is nothing wrong when someone who cares about you wants to help you find a good mate. Face it, our culture is going down the drain and it's hard to find a "nice" guy or girl, and older adults, for the most part, have more wisdom and experience and may have a son or daughter who is both attractive and a decent person. I am always on the lookout for nice people for my kids to meet. That doesn't mean I rule their lives. They are independent and intelligent and can make their own choices but it just widens the net at bit if a parent knows other people. But, hey, if you think that way, fine with me. My kids will have more choices if yours are not putting themselves out there.

I Left My Boyfriend Because He Didn't Want a Baby {Lemondrop}

Jul 3rd 2010 11:54PM Zak - you're not God so don't tell people not to have kids. It is our God given right to "be fruitful and multiply" as long as we go about it in a responsible manner. I personally think people who go for extreme fertility treatments like the Gosslins and Octomom are irresponsible and selfish but there is nothing wrong with wanting biological children as long as you're going to raise them to be compassionate people with good values. What I'm seeing today are arrogant parents raising bratty kids who grow up to be apathetic and take bullying and being mean to new heights.

I Left My Boyfriend Because He Didn't Want a Baby {Lemondrop}

Jul 3rd 2010 11:30PM Part of me wishes there would be more women like this so that hopefully my daughter has a better chance of getting one of the "good guys" - if she's smart enough to heed my advice (been there done that). But that would make me mean and selfish so my advice to all young women is the same I would give to my daughter- respect yourself first, don't be desperate and make sure the guy is really into you before you make a commitment to him both physically and emotionally. I think every woman (including my daughter) ought to have one fun fling in their lives (especially if they're in their early 20's) but even my teenage daughter says now that one day she wants to marry the nerdy guy who is going to love her and be a good husband and father. Until then I'm going to be there for her trying to make sure she doesn't waste precious time on men who are "just not that into her".
