Comment on Breast milk as felony assault by STFU Parents

Hi there! I just got an Alert about your post. Thanks for the shout out and the Blogroll “love”

I just wanted to say that I think spitting on a cop carries the same penalties as squirting breast milk on a cop. I’m not 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure. I don’t think the ‘bio-hazard’ aspect contributed to classifying the offense (but again, not entirely sure).

Just throwing that out there for conversational purposes! Have a great day.

Comment on Sesame Street - Bastion of the Patriarchy? by Annie @ PhD in Parenting

It’s funny…I never really thought of the monsters as male or female until they added the female ones (the two you mentioned, plus Rosita). And then there are other “characters” that are not monsters, but are muppets (like Ernie, Bert, and Prairie Dawn).

Now that I do notice it, I do expect better from Sesame Street. Not only in terms of introducing female characters, but also it not making them overly stereotypically female. Give our girls a chance to be whoever they want to be.

Comment on a second read of unconditional parenting by WonderingWilla

I suspect that this book addresses an extreme with another extreme. Maybe some people do treat the time out as ‘love withdrawal’ whatever that is, so this guy writes a book to combat that. Now, it’s interpreted in the media that everyone who gives a time out is withdrawing love left and right and if you do it you don’t love your kid, and blah, blah, blah. Honestly, I think the people who read the advice of ‘experts’ are the people who need it the least and we’d all be better off spending the time taken to read these books with our families.

I don’t know if you heard aboout this, but a last summer there was an article that talked about a couple who were in a custody battle over their child ane because of her name the judge took the kid away from both her parents until her name could be changed. The girls name was Talula does the hula in Hawaii but she told all her friends her name was “k”. Now new Zealand has put a rule on baby names. Here is the article,
