Angelina Jolie Bravely Undergoes Double Mastectomy To Reduce Cancer Risk And Live A Long Life For Her Children

It must have been a difficult decision for her and her family, and it’s very admirable she has chosen to come forward with her story in hopes that it will help other women. Sadly, I’m sure the focus now with most of the press will be trying to grab new photos of her implants, while the rest of us women worry about whether or not we could also be at risk. Considering breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, here’s hoping Angelina Jolie‘s double mastectomy story can raise additional awareness about this horrible disease. More »

Parents Are Slut-Shaming Their Daughter’s Clothing Choices While Being The Adults Who Buy The Clothing

There is no law stating that you have to buy your daughter reveling clothing. It’s especially unfair when parents buy these items for their daughters and then they turn around and make them feel bad for wanting to wear them More »

19 Injured In New Orleans Mother’s Day Parade Shooting Because What’s A Parade Without Gun Violence

I don’t understand the mentality behind feeling like you need to bring a gun to a parade to honor Mother’s Day but that’s exactly what happened yesterday in New Orleans when three people opened fire on a crowd and ended up injuring at least 19 people. I’m a mother, mothers are my people, in my world you don’t mess with mothers and children and this entire thing infuriates and saddens me beyond belief. I would go to a Mother’s Day parade. I would go and bring my children with. I think a lot of us would, why not? More »

Things I Could Do On Mother’s Day To Piss Everyone Off

I could make them SING to me, songs all about moms and how great moms are and how I am the best mom ever. Complete with dance choreography. We need to take back Mother’s Day. Yes, I appreciate the fact my husband will buy me flowers and everyone will take me to lunch and I will get to watch Game Of Thrones and just DVR Mad Men and I won’t have to wash a single dish, but wouldn’t it be badass if we all started to get our truly selfish on the one day of the year we are allowed to be truly selfish?

Disgusting School Bus Driver In New Delhi Forced Child Passengers To Watch Porn

I feel so bad for these parents. You want your kids to receive an education and make a better life for themselves (Only fifteen percent of the youth in India make it to high school) and this is what their kids are subjected to during their transportation to school. A rape is reported every 21 minutes in India. With school bus drivers like this it makes sense that young kids are learning from a very early age that rape and the mistreatment of women is totally acceptable. More »

I Parent The Olivia Pope From ‘Scandal’ Way, And This Is Non-Negotiable

I cannot be the only mom out there doing the Olivia Pope voice at her kids or spouse to get people to do what I want. It does not work on my husband because he knows what I am doing but on the kids it works like a charm. I was speaking to my sister the other day and when we were talking about the upcoming season finale I told her about my little Olivia imitation and she admitted she did the exact same thing. And it also worked for her! So come on, admit it, have you tried this yet? Are we all becoming more effective parents due to Olivia Pope? More »

Hero Charles Ramsey Was A Domestic Abuser – Just Like Thousands Of Other Men

Christmas is over guys. Our beloved hero Charles Ramsey has been outed by The Smoking Gun as being a domestic abuser. I know a lot of us were waiting to see what skeletons surfaced from his Big Mac closet, and it was naive to think the guy didn’t have something that would come out, because most civilians minding their own business before they became a national hero would. The majority of us wouldn’t have police records, but I think the majority of us would have something we don’t want the rest of the world knowing about – like the state of my garage at present.

14-Year-Old Honor Student Braylee Rice Committed Suicide At School

Reading though a few memorial pages and groups, it seems that bullying is a huge problem at this school and considering that 1 in 7 Students in Grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying school administrators should start taking the issue not just at McCulloch, but at all schools more seriously. I’ve said this a million times now, but parents need to start implementing a zero tolerance policy with their children in regard to bullying, and when their kids tell them they know of someone being bullied at school they need to inform the school right away.

Fifth Grade Student Forced To Lick His Teacher’s Desk Clean – School Board Doesn’t Care So Much

I hope these parents get their concerns addressed and their kid is feeling okay about school, because if I were him I certainly won’t be all excited about waking up in the morning. Kids have enough issues with bullying and schoolwork fears and to add being humiliated and forced to do something this icky I don’t blame this kid for being upset by this. I know teaching is a very demanding and stressful job, and I love and admire teachers so much. Just not the ones who act like creeps like this one in New York. More »
