		<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>

On Facebook, the valet doesn’t lose your dirty Honda for twenty minutes while you calculate how much sleep you’ll get if there’s no traffic on the way home. On Facebook, it’s [...]]]></description>

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>

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>

I would make time for blow-outs and pedicures and basic hygiene, because [...]]]></description>
