My Labor Was Just Like A Kooky Birth Scene From A Romantic Comedy — Unfortunately

My Labor Was Just Like A Kooky Birth Scene From A Romantic Comedy -- Unfortunately

I’d seen the movies. I’d heard the labor stories. You know what I’m talking about. The laboring wife calmly trying to get herself together to get to the hospital. Her husband – fumbling around unable to find her bag, tripping out the door, and in some cases leaving without her? Yeah. I always thought that was some kind of fantastic Hollywood comedic story line. Nope. It’s all true.

Men do lose their fucking minds when women give birth. But so does everyone else. More »

Beyonce Feels More ‘Sensual’ After Having Blue Ivy Or Maybe Due To The Fact She Is Beyonce

Beyonce Feels More 'Sensual' After Having Blue Ivy Or Maybe Due To The Fact She Is Beyonce

Beyonce claims childbirth made her sexier.

STFU Parents: The Naked Truth About Children And Nudity On Social Media

Technically, you’re not supposed to post pictures with nudity on the site because doing so violates Facebook’s Terms Of Services, but rules were meant to be broken, especially according to the parents of babies and young children. In fact, many of the parents who happily post pictures of their kids naked will likely tell anyone who disagrees with their decision that “babies aren’t sexual” and “there’s nothing wrong with a naked baby.” I’ve even seen parents imply that if you think a picture of a naked child on Facebook is inappropriate, then you’re the one with the problem.
