I’m often irritated when I hear parents talk about having a second child like its an obligation. What irritates me more is when parents rationalize having a second child before their financially or emotionally ready because “Little Johnny wants a sibling.” It’s a cop out.

It was one of the worst cases involving a nanny that most of us have ever heard of and so many parents were grief-stricken and horrified along with Marina and Kevin Krim after their town young children were allegedly murdered by their family nanny.

Number two is on the way – soon. I’m due in less than a week. Lately I’ve been wondering – will I automatically be a pro this time around because I have done it all before? Yeah – I don’t think so. I’ve often wondered why I have such an inferiority complex about motherhood, and I think I’ve finally figured it out. Everyone else is just doing waaaaay too well. Stop showing off ladies – give the rest of us a break. More

After all the gory details regarding cat feces and women dying and disposable medical supplies being reused, Dr. Kermit Gosnell has been found guilty of three counts of first degree murder.

Out of three live births, I was only given Pitocin once — and I experienced the worst childbirth out of my three kids. More
