I am utterly fascinated by these tales of women who “didn’t know” they were pregnant and — SURPRISE! — pop out an eight-pounder in a McDonald’s bathroom. “WE HAD NO IDEA!” Kind of like parents who “have no idea” their sons with an affinity for feathered hats and “Hello, Dolly!” are gay.
Denial: not just a [...]

I’m just going to say it: I do not look forward to sleepless, crying-filled nights. Who would enjoy that? I mean, hell, that’s probably why Samantha Ronson broke up with Lindsay Lohan.

Well, heck. If I’d known this, I would have just adopted a four-year-old.
Two-thirds of that amount is spent before the [...]

The last of Nadya Suleman’s brood has come home, as the remaining octuplet Jonah was released from the hospital last night.

Sometimes, you just can’t make this stuff up:
Neither a prank nor an Onion article, this old-but-classic newspaper caption from Roanoke, Virginia encapsulates why government-mandated contraception-tinis may not be such a bad idea.
The Roanoke medical community is apparently as stellar as this woman’s maternal instincts, as evidenced by this quote from the article:

Well, “dedicated” is one word for it.
As I was sitting here at my desk, eating a container of pudding and gazing at my framed picture of Baby Girl’s 3-D ultrasound, I got to thinking about the different ways we commemorate our children: framed photos; bronzed baby shoes; scrapbooks; and…
