True for labelled sizing, but I have noticed differences in rib band do slightly change the way the cup has to be shaped/sewn to reasonably fit on the body, which does incidentally change the overall volume, allowing for variation. I don't think the "sister sizing" method (which accounts for that variation) ever gives a GOOD fit unless the specific bra basically has its sizes labeled wrong, though.
Stumbled onto something like a 300 video playlist that I would run while on maternity leave, and my son decided that nursing every waking moment was the way to go.
Polling still has its uses, but it is important to remember that demographics are almost always skewed in who is willing to answer a poll (especially political ones), which makes collecting accurate information on a large enough sample of younger, non-suburban demographics more difficult.
Honestly, I'm surprised it's not higher.
I am so glad that the kiddo doesn't make unreasonable noise. When I was pregnant in our old apartment, i was so worried about crying and other baby/toddler noises that it was one of the main motivators to deal with a mortgage payment.
More for meeeeeee
Hey wait a minute, I've seen this one...
Fiscally conservative-only in the U.S. means "I don't care about poor people I don't personally know, and I also don't read enough to actually keep track of how much money is spent on detrimental causes"
While the image is clearly trying to invoke one population (which is almost definitely overrepresented in that statistic, I'm sure), remember that minorities tend to be left to flounder in this statistic with deliberately resource-deprived schools as well. Kind of like all the posts that say "fuck the south, let the racists secede and be rid of them already" are forgetting *most of the black people in the U.S. are in the south* and dealing with the problems on the ground level.

Farmers were traditionally opposed to dst prior to modern processing/24-hour transport, because it meant that they had less time to pick crops at dawn before the arbitrary clock change determined morning markets opened. Plus, it generally makes it difficult for anyone whose job relies on daylight to line up with regular business hours when said business hours change for some stupid reason.
Get blackout curtains. If you're new to waking up this early, trying to go to bed during daylight hours in the next few weeks will fucking suck.
I hesitate to call fake, but part of how this would work should be the friction of the skin gripping the edge of the bowl, (rather than the potentially smoothing fabric). I don't think I could pull this off without husband and still-nursing-toddler getting in the way.
YO WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU FIND THAT SPORTS BRAFINDING ANYTHING EFFECTIVE ABOVE A D-CUP IS IM-FUCKING-POSSIBLE
Hey now, be fair, it was two months wages while still living with mom and dad.
Even with that, the number of people who are eager to have a child is outnumbering the people who are confident they can afford it without subsidies.
Like, ideally, things would go to a phase where only one person is needed to work full time, (maybe another part time, idk), so that the other parent could be the dedicated homemaker for maximum effectiveness both in and out of home. Granted, we would eventually hit a point where we should stop expanding anyway.
My favorite response to this is "ah, yes, I too thought it was that simple in seventh grade."
I am fortunate to be well above the minimum wage, but I could not afford the daycare costs of a second child and still keep my house and car (both of which are necessary to give the first child a desirable standard of living, you see). Daycare providers need to make enough profit for it to be worth running, so I don't begrudge them, but if previous growth is wanted by government, they need to revert things to previous (effective) costs.
The thing that got me was the stupid video was including shots of...manly men he wants to consider himself like, I'd guess? Including Achilles. Famously straight Achilles. Totally didn't commit suicide-by-army when he blamed himself for his boyfriend's death Achilles. I mean, I guess the movie version that they took clips from was playing it a bit differently, but come on. Who didn't take a second look at that one?
Fair point. I guess I was thinking if the parent was panicking and smacking their hand away. Where it's clearly not a regular interaction. Not actually reaching around, turning the child, and spanking them, because of course you have time to just take the item or pull them away in that case.
May also be talking about a different age group of kids. I teach elementary, so my brain kind of automatically goes to 3rd grader as the "generic" kid.
Granted, the balancing act in this case is making sure that he isn't learning that "oh, spitting = going home when I'm tired of being out. neat."
It sounds like your little one is too young for verbal reasoning, so while a very short conversation is good modeling for their later behavior, you're absolutely right that it's not effective now, if they're under 4. Following through on "natural" consequences when the consequence is removal suuuuuucks, especially when it also requires you to remove yourself from a situation, but sometimes it's the only thing that sticks.
Never gonna have a perfect answer, not being in your situation, but I'd try to figure out what exactly the situation is when they're spitting (is it a game because you give a funny reaction? Is it that they're just that mad? Does it happen while playing with other kids? etc.) and if possible, remove them from that the second the spitting starts. Can't play nice without spitting on other kids? You don't get to play, then.
I did oversimplify it, true. It's also possible that there's a mismatch of thresholds for what exactly qualifies as bad enough to be asshole behavior. I may be falling prey to to the old "well they're small and sweet so they're not bad; they just have to learn ;-;"
