  • Baby diaper options- Biodegradable Composting Diaper Service

    In response to the cloth diaper quandary, probably the best option out there is a biodegradable diaper composting service called Earth Baby. They work much like a cloth diaper service, but use biodegradable diapers and wipes. Now here is the best part... they collect the dirty diapers and compost them in a industrial facility completing the link ...

  • Sibling keeper -- Emotional "incest"?

    There's a kind of inappropriate emotional closeness, it can be subtle sexualization, substitution of a child for a partner, or emotional intimacy inappropriate to a child.. Anyway, it seems that the woman writing about when she was ten and her mother confided her husband's affair to her and then expected her to simply ''forget'' it or ''get over ...

  • marriage does not guarantee success

    I take issue with the idea that ''out-of-wedlock births are a national catastrophe''. I believe the national catastrophe is a lack of accountability.

  • This burns me up!

    Emily, what I think this boils down to is just another example of you acting the Smug Married. I can't find a man to love me. Maybe I'm weird looking, or I have a terrible personality, or maybe I can't meet any nice men. It doesn't really matter. Why would you have me live my life alone, with no family whatsoever? Why would you wish that on ...
