I think that's why you'd be hard pressed to find Daria in its original form too: music licensing.

She basically died because she told the doctors she had taken miso. At this point she absolutely needed a D&C but because Georgia law said that's bAd, doctors risked losing their licenses to help her. And by the time they were going to, it was too late.

But hey, it was a woman who died, and she was black, so definitely not the kind of person they care about.

Ugh. So disgusting.

Mine would LOVE to turn into a mermaid!

..... My FIL just asked me if this is actually true.

Yes, FIL. I wanted to ask him how much he even helps, because sitting on his phone in my living room watching sports commentary videos every week isn't contributing positively to my kids' lives.

Locking this because nothing productive or positive is happening in the comments.

I sure hope.

It probably does help to quantify, though I suspect all the numbers in the world wouldn't change some minds.

Man, did they really need a study for this?? Seems pretty obvious but I guess not.

Let's see, what are points of stress? Costs of living, raising children, time...

Yikes, nobody needs that kind of scramble at the last minute.

Done!

Water in her ear.

A Fels naptha bar may be your friend too.

Worth noting that this did not work when they were infants, especially not for my oldest.

Somehow, simply touching my kids helps calm them down enough to sleep. Now my four year old reaches for my hand at night. Am I trapped for a while? Yes. Do I mind? Not one bit.

Dinner. I don't even know why.

You're doing it. One day at a time.

That sounds intense and incredibly stressful. Kudos for all your hard work.

I'd not heard of that before. Does the therapist help? If it's ok I ask, at what point did you realize it wasn't just "picky kid" and was something deeper?

I don't know what it counts as, but it's certainly evident that he's listening and can understand quite a bit!

My oldest was such a terrible sleeper, we were basically zombies for the first 6-8 months. I got rear ended on my way home from getting some diapers. The woman said she was tired because she had a new puppy. I told her I was tired because I had a baby. I was too tired to have any sympathy for her. Looking back, now I feel a little bad for being so snippy. Puppies are no joke.
