This is the first time I'm seeing this thread, so I'll add my 2 cents to this old-ish discussion. I have a 2 year old, so no one thinks it's a big deal when I take him into the ladies bathroom with me. But I really don't understand the big deal of a little kid seeing naked bodies. Why are we so...

I'm a SAHM to a 2 year old. To be honest, part of me likes being a SAHM but part of me really wants to get a paid job. I love my son, but my personality and skills are not well suited for being a domestic goddess. My husband supports whatever I decide to do, but we really can't afford for me to...

My son had plenty of hair. I had some heartburn while pregnant, but very little because I figured out my triggers (oranges, pineapples, and bananas) and stopped eating those things. I forget if my mother had heartburn with me because I was born with thick hair. Apparently the nurses put...

I'll admit I skimmed this thread and posts in it. Did anyone mention that Robin Williams was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease? You take someone who already feels like a waste of space and burden, then add that which would seal the deal in someone's mind of how much they are or could...

I have one and if I don't get pregnant again, then that's all we'll have. My husband really wants a girl and my son loves babies (and other kids in general but gets really excited seeing babies) and I'd really love to give my son a sibling. But we aren't going to keep having kids til I have a...

I keep hearing and reading lately that running is so much better for fitness than walking, but those of us with arthritis will have to settle for walking. Though I don't do casual strolls. I walk as fast as I can while pushing a stroller and for about 4 miles at a time. That and my little...

Double posting for readability. As far as the original topic, I've gained weight because of getting pregnant, but he's about 18 months old and I still have half the weight I gained....and I gained too much weight. My husband still thinks I'm sexy. He's gained happy marriage weight and I still...

I know I'm late to the party, but I just read this thread and had to respond, especially to the China post. Obviously having Chinese family and being to China twice does not make me an expert. However, I don't think fast food is the issue. The portions are a lot smaller at fast food there and...

Most Chinese restaurants in the U.S. are like Taco Bell and Mexican food. Puffca calls it "junk" Chinese food. I can eat at those restaurants. And I can eat at authentic Chinese restaurants in the U.S. It's not all Chinese food that's the problem. I could find food to eat in Beijing and Shanghai...

The part of the quoted kept is totally me and my husband. The part of China my husband is from is all about spicy food. I grew up with bland food and spicy food makes me cough like a maniac (sometimes just the smell of it cooking will set me off). So, we often eat separate food. The only issue...

As long as the older kids aren't raising the younger ones, I don't care how many kids other people have or don't have (child-free is also fine with me).

No and it is indeed hard to learn. I only know a few words/phrases. And my in-laws don't know English, which makes for interesting times with them. :D

My husband is Chinese, so I guess that would make my son first generation American on his side. (My side goes all the way back to William Penn, so not completely first generation.) He's only 13 and a half months old, but when he's old enough, we plan to enroll him in Chinese school. It starts at...

These are pretty much my thoughts. I witnessed a lot of men who had no interest in being leaders or even partners in their marriages when I was growing up. To be honest, the idea of getting married (and especially having children if I did get married) was not all that appealing when I was...

Abigail is actually really popular (as are a lot of A names) right now. It's number 7 on the Social Security baby name index. I'm loving the name Alice right now.

Inkachu, if Texas is like Wisconsin, you cannot get Medicaid unless you have custody of a minor child. Childless (and parents of grown children) are SOL when it comes to some government and even charitable assistance. So, that may have been why KitKatMatt was denied. I'm too tired to do all of...

Yeah, but knowing that doesn't make it less frustrating. I guess a small part of me really wants to believe that they're not puppets.

You've made it clear that you're a corporate stooge, a war monger, and now you're just stupid. Ray Kelly? Really? You are seriously telling me that you couldn't find someone better than him? You're an idiot. Too bad that I think Romney would have been at least as big of an idiot, corporate...

I really like Freya, but it's not a name I'd use (and I already have a girl name that I'm set on if I end up having a girl). My sister likes it, but she thinks she's having a boy and her husband has been known to veto good names in the past. Silly BIL, leave the naming to the experts. Thankfully...

To add to my list, I want to attend a traditional Chinese opera, preferably in Shanghai. I think I'll also add meeting 3 particular CFers, who shall remained unnamed. I've been wanting to do a meet-up with them for quite awhile now and if I put it on my bucket list, maybe it'll actually happen.
