The nice folks over at Mint have put together an infographic showing some data driven ways that people can climb the socio-economic ladder.
Since pictures are complicated I’ve distilled down for you are the things you can do right now to make sure your children are statistically more likely to better off than you are.
It’s science so this is foolproof.
I am single. In fact, I’ve been single my entire professional career. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered that being discriminated against for being single in the professional world has a name, and some academic backing: singlism.
Some will say it’s a myth, that it’s just another symptom of a generation of workers that feels entitled to everything. I know better, because I’ve experienced it first-hand. Continue reading
(William brushing the dirt off? Lulz) Oh, sure she is. There’s got to be some way to inject some Americanism into the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a little monarch, right? There’s probably no better way than to submit that America’s little bundles of baby pseudo-monarchy are probably giving this whole Royal Baby nonsense the empirical side eye that it rightly deserves, yes?

Power outages and children at home can quickly lead to panic. I live in Colorado and every once in a while, we get a blizzard that traps us for a few days. The first several hours can be fun, but the novelty wears off FAST.
If the power is out for several days, you will have to come up with something good to avoid a Shining sort of situation. I have some ideas of my own to occupy the kids. I will post options as fast as I can. Continue reading

If you are like most people, you probably think of orgasms and births as very separate things. One should, ideally, precede the other, but they are not likely to occur simultaneously. People who believe in orgasmic birth call it the “best kept secret” about birth. Orgasmic birth is the idea that the woman can have a sensual birth experience and may even climax when the baby emerges. It’s a completely different approach to the pain management model that currently exists concerning birth. Continue reading
Trend alert, kids are out there wandering the streets raping and murdering. And not just those 17 year old kids who are really only kids by technicality. I’m talking about tweens.
Obviously, following this link will take you to descriptions of violence involving children. Continue reading
Sure, kids are cute.
I mean, look at them. With their dolls and trucks and…whatnot. Look at them, in their overalls and their little dresses and curls and skin as yet undamaged by the sun and all this shit we insist upon spewing into the atmosphere. I just don’t want to clean up after them. Continue reading
This is a little something I wrote when I was potty-training my son. I was re-reading it because I need to start training my daughter. I figure there are at least a trillion potty-training nightmare stories out there, so I though I’d share mine in hopes that you would share yours. Continue reading
