I don't think I could do it. It's hard enough to love your own blood. What do you think, though? I would be very interested to hear your opinion on this. Thanks in advance.

I know this is going to sound so stupid, but I'm a large woman with a very typical size daughter. She's just outgrown her 14/16 in children's tops. What is the next size up? Is it small in ladies? They look even smaller than the 14/16. I'm headed to the mall in about 2 hours, and would like to grab some things for her to try. Which size is my best bet?

My husband has 4 kids from marriage #1. I'm 12 yrs younger 1st marriage no kids. He/They come from an impoverished country so I agreed to sponsor his children to come to live here. 3 yrs of paperwork, attorneys and mtgs with INS and they were finally approved arriving in the US on 05/06. Ages 14, 18 and 21 are all male & a 10 yr old girl. Due to the language barrier we decided 2 yrs ago that he wld handle discipline/behavioral issues. For yrs he said, “American kids are disrespectful of adults, spoiled & lazy. My kids are nice & well-behaved.” He said to let him know ASAP of any/all problems and he'd “handle them immediately”. Well these kids are mannerless, manipulative, interrupt CONSTANTLY, questi. everything I say, give me silent treatmts. over having homework, talk over me in French & expect to be waited on by me--Just a FEW examples. If I tell my husb. he says, "You are lying!" or "I can't do anything about it!" He refuses counseling & I have no $$ to leave. Suggestions please?

A cry for art

If Orwell really said 'Some ideas are so stupid that only an intellectual could believe them', he might have added that there's no notion so inane that some artistic person won't come up with it. On the front of the Sunday Times magazine today there are photographs - 20 of them - of young children crying. They were made to cry by the photographer, Jill Greenberg, arranging for their mothers to give them lollipops and then take the lollipops away. And for why?

[She] intended her images of sobbing babies to be a metaphorical commentary on what she sees as the evils of the Bush administration and the dangerous influence of the evangelical religious right.
What a bold concept. And the best way of achieving this aim:
I was trying to make images that made you feel something, because we are so inundated with images in our culture that oftentimes people don't feel anything.
We've all got deadened feelings, so... I know, I'll distress a whole lot of kids. And what else should their distress stand for but - all together now, assembled progressives and sound-thinking well-meaning folk - 'the Bush administration'.

This, from James Lileks (via InstaPundit) and although in a different connection, seems apt:

Of course, one could make the case that the greatest threats to the freedoms of the West are posed by the head-choppers, plane-exploders, their many merry supporters, and the nuke-seeking state that supports them.

But don't expect the artists to make the case. They saw what happened to that Theo Van Gogh fellow...

My husband and I have a 7 week old son(firstborn), and I still feel like I don't know what I am doing. I love my son like no other, but sometimes I feel like I could be doing a better job. I just get so overwhelmed with everything. Is it normal to feel this way?

Have any of you had a hard time breaking free from the baby to go back to work? I am finding it difficult to leave him and dread returning to work. But I have to. He is 9 months and we need money. I got a great job last week, and backed out at the last minute I was having such anxiety over it. What advice can you give?

My husband's name is Brandon. My name is Shannon and our son's name is Shane. We are trying to decide on a name for our son that's due in January and we both like the name Brayden.
Now, say that to yourself...
Brandon, Shannon, Shane and Brayden.
We didn't try to pick names that are similar to ours, infact I don't like that they are, but we like the name...should we do it?

Today I was driving in my new SLK350 which I just with my elderly grandma taking her to the doctor, bought and like a bat out of hell, this housewife in a big SUV crashes into the back of me and ruins my car and hurts both me and my grandma!! Now she says that she has no job and that she is going through a divorce. It's not my fault she has no money, she dosn't work like most honest people!! Why should I have to pay for my own car, does she know expensive it is to fix a mercedes? Why should I have to pay just because she is a lazy stay at home mom who dosn't work? Why should my grandma WHO has actually worked and is now retired have to pay her medical bills? How can I deal with this woman? I for one thinks she needs to get a job because she is just going to leech off her ex husband now!

My new Porsche Cayenne was hit by a housewife in a big suburban. I need to get my car fixed right away because I need to drive my clients around in it. Also I was hurt. She says she can't pay for it because she is going through a divorce. She dosn't even work!! She told me she can't pay for it now, and to please not report it, but I have a right to have my car fixed ASAP, it's not my fault she chooses not to have a job and chooses to be a stay at home mom. She needs to fix my car. What should I do? Can I sue her? I don't feel sorry for her one bit.

I am so sick of the debate whether a mom should stay at home or go to work. I am so sick of hearing other people's opinions imposed on other people. Dr. Phil even devotes entire shows to it to let these two factions battle it out. I have heard women debating two times this week already and I am really sick of it. Why can't people just accept that there are millions of different people with millions of different cicumstances, and that a woman who choses to work is not a selfish monster who is neglectful to her children and a stay at home mom is not someone who sits at home and eats bon bons. This is the 21st century, and because of the femanist movement, we have a choice to stay at home, or go to work. I really wish people would just get off thier soap boxes, and thinking first and foremost about thier children, not how wrong they think others are.
