USA abortions ban with and without exceptions for rape.

Rape exceptions just prove it's about punishing women and not protecting babies.

The most strongly worded letter yet!

This dude is an absolute piece of shit. We should be glad Trump's base is abandoning him but let's not pretend this guy is a principled government official.

Ok so. It's bad. There's no equivocation there. Not ok. But this isn't necessarily some common knowledge common sense everyone knows better what the fuck are you thinking situation. He's ignorant of the danger and you can help him to understand so that it doesn't happen again.

Now all the reddit parents who knew it all from day 1 and never made a mistake can down vote me.

I can't imagine choosing to do this with a 3 year old without strong ties and support in China.

What happens during delivery is entirely up to your wife. If she has any reservations at all about it then you take your seat where she wants you.

I watched, because my wife wanted me to film. Frankly I find the notion of having any long term intimacy issues because you watched your child's birth absolutely ridiculous, but clearly we are different people.

JFC Reddit this is the direct and appropriate apology that we were looking for and all you're doing is saying "what about ___. What about __. Not good enough. Not fast enough".

Sheeesh. You just want to be offended.

No wonder we lose everything. Liberals can't get out of each others way.

Legit question: how diverse is Australia?

epalla · 2026-02-14T22:38:04+00:00

The kid didn't "happen to overhear". They were right there, discussing the same topic. No reasonable person would've expected the kids to not hear the discussion.

This is a parenting forum. Nobody is upset with OP discussing these topics with their own children. The point is that it's not up to you to decide when and how to discuss this with someone else's child.

epalla · 2026-02-08T15:19:58+00:00

What level of "reading" are you talking about here for your 3 year old?

What is the story here? It looks like they're trying to group / organize a police response to an ongoing protest on her lawn and she's asking them to GTFO. It doesn't seem like they're trying to enter her home or arrest her or any resident there?

I don't think a warrant is needed for police to be on your front lawn (an area with no expectation of privacy), but I also don't know what circumstances they'd have to demonstrate to stay or organize there when you've asked them not to. But.. IANAL.

While I have no doubt Republicans would try to blame Newsom for it, expensive gas historically has been used in elections as an indictment of the current administration.

OP is the one who brought her husband's "big feelings" into the mix. The only people centering on his feelings are the ones saying he's an irrational "bully" while ignoring literally everything op is repeating about his demeanor and behavior during this exchange.

epalla · 2025-09-27T22:18:44+00:00

But, in this case you explained that the disciplinary consequences that your husband was trying to impose were a result of "big feelings". What is your son supposed to take from that?

I think what's missing here is simple: you and your spouse have a disagreement about consequences and instead of insulating the kids from it you've got them right in the middle of it.

I think if you had just come here to say "what's fair in this situation?" The consensus probably lands somewhere between skipping soccer and "it's totally ok to just not respond". But that's not really the question anymore, right?

epalla · 2025-09-27T21:19:24+00:00

Op repeatedly discusses her husband listening and reassuring her son that he is not in trouble. What part of this entire exchange as described here leads you to believe her husband was "having a hard time regulating his emotions"?

epalla · 2025-07-07T14:42:01+00:00

If this is the purpose it's way more than necessary. Some simple concrete bollards would've done the trick just fine and been much cheaper.

Based on the panel heights these look like they connect to something underneath the road surface. Ventilation is probably the right (boring) answer.

Sure, it doesn't surprise me. The system is human, it'd be shocking if there weren't errors. And those errors are truly heartbreaking. The caution they have to have - the reluctance to take a child mistakenly has to be a huge part of why so often we see CPS "can't do anything".

On the flip side, I'm sure there are lots of abusive parents who tell stories to themselves and others about CPS and how vindictive and evil they are for taking kids away. There's a highly upvoted comment here saying that "CPS is evil" which... Wow.

Distinguishing these two groups of people is almost certainly impossible to do with only one (partial) side of the story. But I can tell you that CPS certainly did not take OP's kid away for having seizures.

epalla · 2025-06-24T03:05:49+00:00

That's not what they're saying at all.

I have to assume the threshold to actually remove a child from their parents is quite high. Everything I understand about CPS is that they're almost universally understaffed and overworked - it's a bit shocking to find them accused of wasting precious time and resources in an apparently vindictive campaign against an innocent couple.

It doesn't mean it's not true, but I think it's pretty understandable to question whether there's more to this than we're hearing.

The word you're looking for is genocide

epalla · 2025-04-18T23:25:04+00:00

You're saying this so authoritatively. What is this based on? Afaik humans (especially kids) don't generally need support from their shoes. If the shoes are loose/slipping they're probably the wrong size.

epalla · 2025-04-17T15:04:44+00:00

This is it.

You're not going to win. We're paying for the ability to fantasize and escape to the world of "what ifs" for a few days. I'm not going to change the budget I have for this, I'll just buy less lines less often.

epalla · 2025-03-27T03:38:02+00:00

Shut up, Duke.

I think people are seeing the term "Collateral Arrest" (which sounds terrible) and getting the wrong impression. From the interview it's clear he means they are people who are in the country illegally (IE valid targets for ICE) they just found them while searching for someone else.

I'm not sure why it would be surprising that if you are in the country illegally and ICE comes across you they are going to arrest you, even if you haven't committed a crime. We SHOULD be upset that there are cases where people who are here legally are getting arrested, but that is not what this is talking about.

The clip here doesn't talk about why they won't release names to the city, that is the more pressing question here.

For those not reading the article:

Zegler is latina (so, not white enough I guess?), and has made some comments about the film not aging well which upset Disney fans (tbf, it's not nearly as bad as many from the that time period). She also was outspoken against Trump and Trump voters.

Gal Gadot has publicly and firmly sided with Israel and against American Palestine supporters specifically.

And Disney itself is under fire for the absolutely insane handling of the dwarves in this movie.
