DON’T BOTHER HAVING KIDS HONESTLY YOU’LL JUST MAKE THEM CRIMINALS
California woman has 8 babies in 5 minutes →
This woman refuses to confirm she used fertility drugs. She had a LITTER OF HUMAN BEINGS. Octuplets! This is against nature, humanity and the laws of decency.
“Infant mortality rates attributable to accidental suffocation and strangulation...”
– The actual cause of the rising rates is unknown, but The New York Times — and other leading publications — suggest that the increase in co-sleeping may have something to do with it. The CDC today released a report to the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and...
DON’T ROLL THE DICE.
In an article at MayoClinic.com today, Lois McGuire, R.N., M.S.N., W.H.N.P., suggests that at 20-24 weeks gestation every expectant mother have a blood test to see if she or her partner has herpes. After all, she points out, “approximately 1 in 5 women have herpes, but many are not aware that they have the virus.”
ONE in FIVE women has HERPES?
She poses six scenarios in which one...

When new parents start hating their pets →
You mean to tell me having a kid will make me HATE MY DOG?! He is loyal, man’s best friend, a constant companion. I will keep the dog. They never talk back.
ATTN: Don't let your kids choke on this uterus. →

Yes, I will indeed keep my ovaries and uterus away from children. Thanks for the reminder!
P.S. Don’t worry: Jennifer Garner is already...
It’s the talk of the town: Mr. and Mrs. Ben Affleck have announced the name of their now ten-day-old infant daughter, (FINALLY, says The Boston Globe) and everyone has something to say. The Associated Press has ‘consulted its panel of baby-name gurus’ (who knew they employed such experts!) to ‘weigh in’, and Extra (you know, that Inside-Edition Access-Hollywood show) is asking its viewers to...
Wow! New Mom Naomi Watts Has Already Lost Baby... →
Less than a month after giving birth, Ms. Watts is down to her pre-baby weight. Do you have a personal trainer and chef? NO? OK, well, this isn’t going to happen to you.
I Would Like To Avoid Emails Like This
Excerpt from a crazy email a friend received.
Thank goodness they told folks what to pray for! Us childless people have no idea how to talk to Jesus, Allah, etc…
I know all of us are so excited for this next leg of C (mom) and S’s (dad) life journey. What an amazing blessing it will be to welcome this precious little boy into the world. His parents have been praying for him for...

We’d love to hear your take on this, folks — both on the Parent Dish article, as linked above, and on the NPR report.
I* try not to read ‘mommyblogs’, sort of as a rule, ‘cause they can be so damned infuriating. Statements like this one:
Face it, in the world we live in it is a very real possibility that Thordora meant to do her daughter...
Thanks to awesome reader K.S. for letting us in on...
Still Think Children Are Precious?
Four-year-old girl: You know, sometimes I fart from my pagina. Seven-year-old boy: That’s impossible, you cannot fart from your pagina. Four-year-old girl: Yes, I really fart from my pagina, and I do it all the time. Seven-year-old boy: How do you know it’s from your pagina and not your butt? Four-year-old girl: I know what comes from my butt and...

Jenny: Okay. Should we watch “Jon & Kate Plus 8” or “Seven Signs of the Apocalypse”? Me: I’m cool with either. It’s up to you. Jenny: Can we start with “The Apocalypse” and then switch to “Jon & Kate” when we get scared?
“Jon & Kate…” - Waaaay scarier. You can see so much pain and fear in Jon’s blank-ass eyes. He’s too good a guy too attempt an escape...

apsies: True Fact: When chatting with friends, you can’t beat a baby story. It’s not even worth trying. Suddenly you’re knee deep in vaginas, lactating boobs, colic and spit up and frankly…you don’t know how you got there. In that moment you could announce any number of things: you have an extra toe, your dog died yesterday, you think you’re having a heart attack, and nobody cares.
AGREED
