Bristol Palin has responded to Keith Olbermann mocking her safe-sex PSA, saying, "Accusing me of hypocrisy is by now, an old canard. What Mr. Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with insincere incredulity." Someone's using mom's ghostwriter! More »

Sometimes the mom blogosphere seems like an international conspiracy to halt the human race. Like the most recent episode of the video blog Momversations, in which four mom bloggers talk about sex after having a baby. "It took a really long time for me to feel like a woman…maybe a year, maybe more, maybe a couple years," says Nataly Kogan. Dooce's own Heather Armstrong admits that she didn't have sex for seven months after her daughter was born, and in an interesting analogy, Mindy Roberts says, "I've never seen a kitchen that turned out anything that was worth eating that didn't get all messy and icky in the process."

Lynne Spears was on Today this morning discussing her new book Through the Storm, in which she talks about raising her kids under an intense spotlight. Predictably, during her interview, a lot of her answers to uncomfortable questions involved "prayer," "praying," and "God." As far as Britney's disastrous 2007 VMAs, Lynne says that a lot of the scrutiny came from the fact that the "bar has been raised too high" for her daughter, which is probably true. The most interesting tidbit was when Lynne answered questions about Sam Lutfi (who, BTW, is alternately called "Lufti," including in this segment). You can tell that she's not a fan of his. With regards to teen daughter Jamie Lynn's pregnancy, Lynne basically had a "shit happens" response. Clip above. More »

I vividly remember Judd Apatow's Slate diary from two years ago in which he described his 2-year-old daughter Iris's meltdown at a mall, because it so epitomizes what it's like to be around a toddler. "Iris had such a knipshit (as we used to say) — a total meltdown — that I thought I was going to get arrested by cops who thought that I had kidnapped her. All I did was tell her that we already owned Shrek when she asked if we could buy it. Sometimes that is all it takes. She sat down in the video store and screamed at me, 'Get out of the store!' about 50 times." It goes on from there, but Apatow's vignette proves what any toddler-wrangler already knows: they're all little stinkers. More »
