To the Austin moms blog: the decision of whether to vaccinate your children is not hard, and I don’t need to pray
(was) due in June says
I had the same reaction to that viral post. Several friends were like OMG BEST ARTICLE EVER and I was like… did you miss the part where she debated vaccination? And spent 10 years pregnant or nursing? This woman is not my people.

*10 years starting in her early 20s.
Goosebumpy says
I stopped reading after the vaccination line, but I was put on notice by the “my husband coming home to filth” part. Ugh.
Spirograph says
One of my cousins posted on facebook once that everyone should pray about whether to get flu shots for their kids (she did not). I think that’s when I unfollowed her…
I Can't Even says
I can’t even with the anti-vax people. Below is one of my fave quotes on the issue – from a kid with autism.
“When people talk about vaccines and autism it makes me feel like I’m not a person but a ‘bad result.’ It reminds me that no one wants a kid like me and parents will risk their kid’s lives and everyone else’s just to make sure their kid doesn’t turn out like me.”

Yikes, missed those lines…
Realities of the New Economy says
Also asking over on Corporette, but has anyone pumped out of a coworking space, or seen a coworking space with a dedicated lactation room? I’m about to start a new position that would have me working remotely out of a coworking space (or from home, but the internet’s faster, there are fewer distractions, et.c out of a coworking space). Kid is almost 1 so this is really only relevant for a couple more months, anyway.
