Ugh. It's like a bag of crap that costs you $7 (multiplied by how many kids) to put together. What am I dreading come birthday time is having to make the required goody bag. Ugh.

With that said, women should swallow because they love their man, not necessarily because of the health benefits. The health benefits are a plus, but the main reason should be to make your partner happy. If somebody is swallowing just because of health benefits, I'd say they might be kind of selfish.

]]> Comment on So, Are You Having Another One? by Tragic Sandwich http://teresastrasser.com/blog/2011/08/so-are-you-having-another-one/comment-page-1/#comment-9725 Tragic Sandwich Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:32:57 +0000 http://teresastrasser.com/blog/?p=1702#comment-9725 It's an annoying question if you'd like to have another but have no confidence that it's possible. The accurate answer is "I'd like to, but I keep having miscarriages and D&Cs instead." No one wants to hear that answer, and I don't blame them. And I don't want to make people feel lousy by giving them that answer, even though it's true. It's also why "Are you going to have children?" is not a good question, even if it's a "normal" one.

This has nothing to do with this column. I first had respect* for you, Teresa, on Adam's morning show, and I lamented** when you left the podcast. I lost track of you.

It actually makes me feel a little more accepting of my own mother-daughter situation. I don't have my own children yet, but when I do I'll be task with my own higher level of forgiveness crap. Miss you on Corolla but I'm glad you can continue to inspire here...many thanks!!! Loved this post. It actually makes me feel a little more accepting of my own mother-daughter situation.

My almost 6 year old told me he had a hard life while whining over a dinner that included tater tots. I shouldn't have BUT I sorta explained what a foster kid was and how THAT was hard and how he had parents who loved him, food to eat and basically everything he ever wanted. What I wanted to say do was launch into a comparison to how I had it, my version of walking uphill in the snow on my way home from school but I thought the foster kid stuff was already a lil far. My husband has them alone in the mornings while Im at work and then we trade off so he can go to work, they hang out and he has an involved Dad. Once on the phone with my Dad when I announced it was Jennifer, he said Jennifer who.... I loved this and am happy to know its now just me who feels like this.

But I know my simple life would be based on fear so I can't, I just can't do that. I want to pursue more and I want to teach my kids to do the same.

I mean, look at Dr. Drew's kids! And on the flipside, think of the ton of miserable adults who had horrible, tough childhoods and are just floundering young adults, in and out of trouble, no ambition. Just because you know a few people who have conquered the world in spite of their rough childhoods, doesn't mean that's the majority of people.
