Sarah Jessica Parker, Pregnant Women are Smug and More - Links We Love
Filed under: Opinions
It's twins in the city for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick! The NYC power couple and son, James Wilkie, will welcome twin daughters this summer via a surrogate. -- People
Pregnant women are smug? LilSugar thinks that this video is funny because it's also a little true. Does pregnancy make us forget that we're not the only people in the world who have ever had a baby?
It's never too early to start thinking about Mother's Day (or to leave subtle hints lying around so that your husband will get the kids going on something, at least). Alpha Mom has some cute craft ideas.
Mexican kids are getting a lesson in personal hygiene via "Sesame Street," or "Plaza Sesamo" as it's called there. The children's show is running PSAs on how to avoid spreading the swine flu. -- Strollerderby
Splish-splash, babies taking a bath ... and getting Mom or Dad all wet. Keep your clothes dry at bath time and keep your grip on that slippery baby with the Stay Dry Bath Apron and Towel. -- MomFinds
Tired of bribing your kids to do everything from emptying the garbage to brushing their teeth? There is a better way, really. Instead of offering rewards, make everyday routines automatic. Presto! Family bliss. -- Half Full
Remember that time your husband got you a vacuum cleaner (that you didn't ask for or want) for Mother's Day? Share your story at Work It, Mom! and win a $25 gift certificate. So you can go buy your own gift.
"Babar the Elephant" is a children's classic, but you might not ever look at it the same way again after reading Stefanie Wilder-Taylor's hilarious interpretation of it! -- Mommy Track'd
Bullies on the playground are just bored? Maybe. When Learning Through Landscapes created a new, user-friendly, natural playground, bullying dropped by 64 percent. -- Divine Caroline

Jamie said...I think the video is a bit harsh. Pregnancy is not fun. I did not enjoy it at all! I did enjoy thoughts of being a mom. I never thought I was above everyone else. Talking about it comes from those that show interest. I didn't talk about it to others unless they asked to know. Seriously, being pregnant does not take away a person's comment courtesy. I assume this is meant to be some kind of joke. It is still hard on pregnant women who likely don't feel all that great and could use a boost. But, I will admit that if I could have someone else give birth to my children, I might have more of them.

Mary Sullivan said...I think it's a funny video. Yeah, it is harsh, but that's the way comedians operate--they take a kernel of truth and push it over the edge for comedic effect.
The part that clicked most with me was when the friend tries to share what's up in HER life and the pregnant woman dismisses it as trivial. Unfortunately that doesn't go away after pregnancy. Bring up a school concern about your 6-year-old and there's always someone to say "oh, that's nothing...wait until you have teenager like **I** do."
A toast to all the non-obnoxious pregnant woman (and others!) who keep listening, even though they've got their own big stuff to talk about.
