Sorry, I meant so much more than one would think.

I would wait till he's older.

You didn't overreact. They were rude. Hopefully, they learned their lesson.

There is so much that note says about the psychology of that child and the parenting she received.

It sounds like your boy suffers from migraines. There is nothing you can do to limit their frequency by any large degree. Some people suffer from chronic migraines, some people only have the occasional one, and some people never get them; it's the luck of the draw. Most people that suffer from...

: a fight against the misinformed, ignorant, prejudiced, and discriminatory. It will be taxing, but a triumph will prove beneficial not only for you and your clientele, but for the broader community and the cause.

I find it disturbing that you equate the two concepts—the former being something that deserves respect that support, and the latter being ridiculous.

The concept of a similar movement in support of men's rights is only good. You imply that the championing of such a movement would pose some sort of threat to the movements in support of women's rights; I don't understand this. Just because someone supports a men's rights movement, does not mean...

Women were commonly told very similar things only years ago: e.g., "I support you in anything you do, but it's just not feasible for a woman to be a police officer." Your comment is, frankly, sexist.

Men should take children into the men's room. Women should take children into the women's room. Except when there's an emergency, grown men and women should always stick to their designated facilities.

I come back because I'm looking for more replies. When I said the responses are of precious little use to me, I was referring to the responses I've gotten on this thread so far. I find the rest of the forum very helpful. Why would I report you? You're not being rude. You're merely stating your...

I fail to see the relevance of my scenarios being generalized in regard to your defense of your own generalizations. Also, one's scholastic and/or vocational background does not make right something they say that is wrong. Remember, the processing and germane application of knowledge is far more...

I know she said she's looking for work; I said nothing to the contrary. Also, I suppose different regions differentiate between the titles <I>babysitter</I> and <I>non live-in</I> <I>nanny</I> differently. Where I am from, the terms are often used interchangeably. If the titles are...
