A Letter To My Postpartum, Hormonal Completely Overwhelmed Self
The NRA never fails to sound more and more batty. Back when all of us were newly mourning the horrific tragedies in Newtown, the organization was making proclamations that there should be an armed guard at every school. The statement spurred a variety of reactions, but I have exactly one in response to 8-year-old Josh Welch getting a lifetime NRA membership: WTF. More
A moment of mourning for a 2-year-old little girl who was fatally wounded by her 5-year-old brother. While children accidently shooting one another is a unfortunately a recurring story, this little boy wasn’t tinkering with his parents’ unattended firearm collection. Not in the least. This kid had a rifle of his very own, designed specifically for kids. Record scratch. More
Janay McFarlane was visiting her family and friends in North Chicago. She was 18 years old, walking down the street, when she was shot in the head. Just hours earlier, her 14-year-old sister Destini attended President Obama‘s Chicago gun control speech. Now, Destini’s sister is dead and Janay’s three-month-old son is motherless, all due to the city’s horrible epidemic of gun violence. More
A New Jersey school board is inching towards getting one of those “good guy[s] with a gun” — as the NRA famously said — in one of their schools. And by inching, I mean the Passaic Valley Regional School Board voted 8-0 on the first vote. So I guess here comes the “good guys” with guns — provided that the second vote mimics the first.
Just another Thursday here at the Mommyish offices as each and every day we bring you the latest in shootings that are becoming a more or less daily occurrence in our great nation. Today’s horror and tragedy comes from Atlanta, Georgia where a 14-year-old kid was shot in the head at his middle school. More
Has our country really come to this? The debate over gun control has gotten so vitriolic and divisive that we’re now heckling parents who lost young children in mass shootings? I am quite simply astonished that anyone, no matter how they feel about the Second Amendment, could stoop so low. More
This is the first year that my son walks to and from school by himself and spends several hours alone at a time before I get back from work. Before we started this new schedule, I was pretty sure that I would be frantically worried if he failed to answer one of my text messages promptly or was late getting to a friend’s house. I mean, we live in New York City, anything can happen, right? But instead, I’ve found that not only do I not have any anxiety over it, I don’t worry at all. More
According to news reports, Gliedman’s newborn daughter Melody is being cared for by Morgan’s parents, and Morgan still hasn’t seen her daughter yet. Sad! Just because police find drugs and guns and explosives and books entitled “The Do It Yourself Submachine Gun” in your apartment, which also has a vermin problem and is reported to smell really bad, doesn’t mean you are an unfit mother. More
It’s a fascinating story, and I will be interested to read more information on the case. I can say at this moment it’s probably a good idea that police have arrested the couple, because as most of us know, newborn infants should never be around guns, explosives, or heroin. Not to be all mom judgy about the situation or anything. More

In the days following the Sandy Hook shooting, marked by the mourning of a nation and the funerals of many children, the NRA has been awfully quiet. But today, exactly a week following the deadliest school shooting in American history, the organization has broken their silence with a plan for safety that involves more guns in our schools. Oh yes, you absolutely read that correctly. More
Like a lot of Americans, I’ve been spending this week not only weeping at my desk for those 20 children and six adults who were shot in Newtown, but also nervously awaiting the inevitable “everyone is buying guns” report. Well, it’s official. The mass gun shopping has commenced. More
Full speed ahead on this legislation. More
