Yeah, so…I know I totally baited you into that argument, and even though I’m going to provide exactly zero substantive arguments to back up any of my flagrantly wrong opinions, I’m going to declare myself right and say, “You know, I’m way too mature for this argument, and to prove that I am the bigger person (and you soooo aren’t) I am from here on out refusing to engage...

In an exclusive interview with momlogic, one neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, revealed that the very pregnant young mom was THE hot topic of conversation at the neighborhood Christmas party. He says, “From what I heard she likes kids, she wants a jillion kids....
