I actually found this feature interesting. This is NOT like "Seventeen", but is instead a magazine that is directed towards a late teens-through-early-thirties audience. That is why they showed women in their twenties, not their sixties. I'm 24, with sagging DD breasts from two years of breastfeeding, so I definitely laughed a little when I saw all of the pictures of tiny little boobies, since my breasts haven't looked like that for over ten years now. But I wasn't offended that they didn't show anyone with breasts like mine. And the fact that they included comments from women who admit to using their breasts for a variety of purposes is admirable. I am a die-hard feminist, but I have to admit that I have used my cleavage to my advantage over the years. Jane is not meant to be Ms. magazine or the like. I guess you just have to be a Jane reader to understand this feature in context, because the magazine is constantly dealing with the reality of being a young woman in a society where we are highly objectified.

I don't think we're asking too much when we expect our friends and family to leave their baggage at the door when they come to one of the most important events of our entire lives. In the LW's case, the primary baggage I would be concerned about is the baby at the wedding. JUST SAY NO. Newborn babies do not belong at weddings. Ever. LW would have the support of every etiquette guru in America if she has her fiance tell his brother that there are no children invited to the wedding, sorry, no exceptions, and that they understand if the new sister-in-law can't make it.

LW can't control who her brother-in-law marries, or when, but she can control who is invited to her wedding. It is absolutely not selfish to expect the baby to stay home. Be polite, and be sympathetic, but be firm.

I would have to say I would have been dialing 9-1-1 the second this salesman started getting creepy. A few years ago I was attacked by a mentally ill person on a train in NYC. I felt something weird going on in our interaction (she sat next to me and started talking first) but didn't listen to my gut, because I was too shy/embarassed/afraid of looking stupid. Big mistake. I was lucky- I was not injured, and I will never make that mistake again.

I was raised by a mother who apologized for everything, never wanted to make trouble, and certainly hated to make a scene. I now know that this mentality is dangerous. My kids will grow up knowing that if you are in a situation that makes you uncomfortable, do what you need to do to get out of it- yell, call the police, run away, etc. I know how LW felt, the fear that others will think you are being paranoid, or overreacting, when you have the surreal sense that maybe YOU are the one who is crazy. Trust your instincts, and do what you need to in order to get out of a situation. You'd rather be wrong and embarassed than dead.

We have three kids (and before you go judging that, yes, two of them were adopted) and two dogs. We drive a Mazda 5. It has six seats (2-2-2 configuration), the front two rows are buckets and the back two seats are perfectly comfortable for children (and with three kids, our 9-year-old is always in the last row, sometimes with the dogs on his lap...). All four back seats can be folded down individually to give you all sorts of configurations for cargo. The kicker? We get...drum roll please...an average of 30-31 MPG, which is even higher than expected.

Do we wish we had a bigger car? Sure, sometimes, and it's easy to think that way now that gas is down to <$2 a gallon. When we're packed to the brim with luggage for five and the dogs are on our laps, yeah, we're craving more space. But that's maybe five days out of the 365 days a year that we drive our car. We looked at the Honda Odyssey and came close to buying it, but then gas prices shot up to $4/gallon while we were car shopping and it sealed the deal. I know that next year, or in the next few years, when gas prices go up, we will have NO regrets whatsoever. If we need to haul a boat, or drive a soccer team full of kids to a birthday party, we'll rent a truck or a bus or whatever the hell we need to get from point A to point B. But in the meantime, I will drive the smallest car that I possibly can on a daily basis. Not just for me, but for everyone else I share this planet with.

Having two kids is NO excuse for getting an SUV. Smug assholes like the author of this article are STEALING from all of us- including MY CHILDREN. You are stealing the future; the environment and all its precious resources are being wasted on your generation. My husband and I are in our twenties and are terrified of what will happen when the Earth is torn to shreds and the entire human species is left paralyzed by a lack of fuel and investment in clean energies. When we decided to have a large family we were determined that we would NOT live off the backs of future generations.

Mark, when your kids are unable to breathe clean air, or travel long distances because there is no fuel left, I'm sure they will NOT be thanking you for buying your big, stupid SUV to drive around their friends when they were ten years old. Excuses, excuses...you're just like every other "green" yuppie jerk.

I can't believe that anyone watching the Nadya Suleman special would come away thinking that she was a good mother. She seemed incredibly distant from all of her children. Her older kids seemed like they were not getting more than a few nanoseconds of attention, and the babies just cried the whole time. I would be very curious to see the cortisol levels of children consistently exposed to that level of crying.

She does not love her children. NO ONE who loves their children would allow a camera person to stay in the delivery room after a doctor asks the person to leave. She had her eyes on the prize and really didn't care if her quest for video footage endangered one of the babies. The camera person served no medical purpose and did not belong in the delivery room- period.

There is no way that the emotional needs of fourteen children can be met by one mentally unstable single mother. They may be relatively clean, they may be well fed, but growing up with that narcissist who seemed far more concerned about her weight and appearance than any of her kids is going to be damaging to them. At no point in the show did it seem like Nadya had any kind of unique, loving relationship characterized by strong attachment to any of the children.

Oh, the irony of Nadya blaming her mother for raising her as an only child when Nadya herself did not at any point stop to consider the negative impact that her selfish desire for more children could have on her existing children. Someone who feels so strongly that the number of siblings one has is so critical to one's development should be that much more highly aware that inflicting thirteen siblings on a young child could be damaging. For someone with so much training in psychology, she seemed like an oblivious idiot.
