Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together

It happens everywhere, but it seems amplified in NYC, and it's hard not to when everyone around you is. My SIL lives in an expensive suburb and the self-promotion is incredible.

If two drops of high fructose corn syrup pass their dcs' lips at a party, well clearly this is a high crime and someone's head must roll. Perhaps the dc should have a charcoal purge? And speaking of purge, it's also fun, yet disturbing, to read all the 'I gained 11 lbs in my first trimesters; is it safe yet to diet in your 3rd trimester?' type posts.
