    Sister Wives

    I'm pretty sure Caleb is not LDS. In the Alaska episodes, he was wearing an Alaskan Amber shirt.

    Sue Klebold (mother of Columbine shooter, Dylan) on 20/20

    So many ruined lives :( I watched the interview. Klebold seemed sincere, gracious, and truly sorry. If my child had been killed, I don't know that I could let go of that anger. I'm sure I'd blame the parents too. And yet watching the interview, I don't believe that Klebold should carry...

    People Magazine Article about Breastfeeding after 12 Months

    I have to agree that something like a "Wall of Fame" is in it's own way shaming those who can't BF. It was in the hallway on the way to exam rooms so everyone had to walk by it for appointments. This was 12 years ago. We no longer go there. Maybe they've changed things as to not offend.

    Worst wedding presents ever....

    At the time, I thought the worst gift we received was a metal vegetable steamer that sits at the bottom of a pot and can fold up. Not sure how else to describe it. It was used, which was interesting, and I'm sure cost the gifter less than $5. After 20+ years, though, I still have it and...

    People Magazine Article about Breastfeeding after 12 Months

    The photos are definitely not something I would ever do, but I don't see anything wrong with extended BFing. For what it's worth, both my pediatrician and my gyn encouraged breastfeeding for longer than 12 mos. With my family history of breast cancer, my gyn encouraged me to bf for as long as...

    What advice would you give someone going into your line of work?

    This is so true. Small business owner in manufacturing. Personnel mgt is my biggest challenge during the day.

    Do You Enjoy Straightening Up?

    I do enjoy cleaning up. When I get stressed out, it's my go to activity. Love having a clean house. Laundry is another story. Hate it.

    Does your child attend an early college program?

    One of the issues that we ran into with AP classes is that they weren't accepted by the honors program at my son's college. The college recognized the AP credits, but he basically has to retake the courses since he's an honors student, if that makes any sense.

    Why would someone file an unemployment appeal?

    In the case of a claim against a previous employer in the base period who isn't the last employer, a relief of charges is typically granted if the employee voluntarily quit without good cause or was fired for misconduct. So that person's claim portion attributed to the former company (not last...

    Asking for a raise

    I'm not familiar with the health care industry and it may be handled differently. In other industries, though, this would be a really bad idea. I would cancel your meeting. Nothing good will come of it. If you believe you deserve a raise, go in alone and present facts about your work. Don't...

    Why would someone file an unemployment appeal?

    Your MIL can get a copy of her file and that will give her a better idea of the company's position so she can prepare for the hearing.

    Why would someone file an unemployment appeal?

    Oftentimes, employers will keep reasons vague in an effort to avoid potential liability.

    Why would someone file an unemployment appeal?

    If she implied in her response that the company let her go because of her age, the company may have felt the need to defend itself. Age discrimination is against the law and they may be worried about a potential lawsuit from your MIL. And, yes, there is no confidentiality in the claimants...

    Nanny / Caregiver Issue

    OP, learn from this and move on. Write out a very specific job description with all the qualifications you require. Be upfront with job candidates about the expectations of the job. If you want someone who can lift 50lbs and walk up and down stairs, then make sure that's communicated before you...

    Nanny / Caregiver Issue

    I agree. And I'm not sure how labor laws are applied to a nanny situation, but I would be very careful about stating a dismissal reason that might have to do with someone's mobility.

    Nanny / Caregiver Issue

    Even if the nanny didn't have a mobility issue, I would be concerned with anyone going up and down the stairs with my baby. Put a mobility issue on top of that and I would be really concerned. I second the recommendation to consider moving to a more accessible apartment. I think fresh air and...

    Married at First Sight

    Haha. Those are my thoughts on the couples, as well. Watching Ashley makes me wonder if she's ever been in a romantic relationship. She seems very asexual and her bacherolette party now makes a lot of sense.

    Coordinated attacks on women in Germany

    How incredibly terrifying for those women to be attacked by not just one person, but a whole group of people. There's just no way to fight back against that many attackers. So horrible :(

    Wisconsin High School athletics bans hurtful words

    Seriously! I had to start using ear plugs at my boys' home games because of all the yelling.
