		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a social contract when it comes to birthday parties for kids. You can&#8217;t just be a recurring guest, enjoying the bouncy houses, gift bags and balloon animals arranged and paid for by other parents. No, you have to reciprocate. Like it or not, there&#8217;s a kid pro quo. Other parents helped you kill a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not making fun. Bless his heart. &#160; Step aside, infamous Indonesian smoking baby, there’s a new gross-you-out and get-you-incensed Internet sensation in town. It’s the obese Chinese toddler! Perhaps you have seen photos of Lu Hao, a 132-pound 3-year-old who eats three bowls of rice at a time and refuses to walk to school. It’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The way I was going to dodge all the stereotypical haggard new mom behaviors, well, that didn’t really happen. It didn’t happen at all. Yeah, I hate the sound of my own voice saying things like, “I just want to shave my legs. Is that such a luxury?” Hearing myself make jokes about the spit-up [...]]]></description>

And I think I am finally ready to tell the story about the rabbi, my estranged mother and a bag of shit, and how this only partially holy trinity converged at my Koreatown home one Tuesday afternoon. When Buster was eight days old, we invited a rabbi over to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wake up every night with esophagus-searing heartburn and the sensation that I’m suffocating. I cry, smearing the mascara I was too lazy to remove on my pregnancy pillow. My husband tells me it will be okay, which he can now do without even waking up. I take a bath, eat a peach, listen to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being pregnant for the first time I’m scared and I want my mommy. I just don’t want my mommy. My mom hates babies and kids, always has. She didn’t put her cigarette out on my arm or throw me in a pit of snakes, but having kids just wasn’t her diaper bag, and it showed. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first found out I was having a boy, there were the stages of grief. You know, shock, denial, numbness, staring paralyzed, mouth slightly agape, at all the racks of cute girlie shit in the baby store until the clerk probably thought I was having a mild stroke. Now, that has all gone away. [...]]]></description>

For that reason, I fantasize about women I wish were my mommy, and sometimes I get psyched when I realize some crazy bitch wasn&#8217;t my mommy. Here is [...]]]></description>
