Also, SMG? Listen. There are lots of "selfless" things a person can do. One can volunteer their time to helping others, advocating for a worthy cause, donating money to charity, or choosing to live in a socially-aware way. Having a child can also be one of them. Seriously, I'm glad you're happy, I wish you lots of happiness and love and all that good stuff, but having a baby =/= selfless. Having a baby = having a baby. Lots of people have kids and don't become selfless.
I shouldn't even post this comment - it feels really mean and self-centered, but it just pisses me off when people have kids, and then tell me how awesome they are for it. People donate time, love and goodness in all sorts of ways. You don't have to be a parent to be selfless, and you don't have to be selfless to be a parent. #sarahjessicaparker

I love SMG but that comment bothered me. Even just the idea of her saying that people aren't capable of being good parents in their 20's. You might have not have been but others are capable of that - we all grow at different rates. #sarahjessicaparker

Good for her, she's happy with the choices she made. That's really wonderful. But I wish she didn't have to imply that people making different choices aren't as perfect as her. #sarahjessicaparker

As for the age thing... I've been a young mother and an older mother - had my first kid in my early 20s and my last kid in my late 30s. There are pros and cons to both, and a good parent works with what they've got. Yeah, I was more patient as an older mother but I had a lot more energy as a younger mother. I'm more stable now, I was more adventurous then. Different, not better. #sarahjessicaparker

@AnotherJenn: This is also true! Some 2o-somethings are great parents. I just didn't like how condescending it sounded, I guess.
@metalkate: In a way, having a baby is completely unmiraculous - it happens every day, around the world, it is needed for the continuation of the species, etc., etc. I know when it happens on a micro level, it's totally different, but I hate it when parents act like they are the only ones ever who have experienced such a thing. It's like, on a macro level, this is nothing. Don't start lecturing people just yet. :) #sarahjessicaparker

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is given this day in the city of Los Angeles a Stinker, which is Labor Pains, the movie.

This is why I can't imagine making any of my public sex fantasies reality . . . I'd feel so bad at the idea of my fat ass being burned onto some poor onlooker's retinas. #lindsaylohan

As an example: A friend of mine who works in an inner-city "downtown" library tells tales of a prostitute who has staked out the library as her "turf" and does a booming trade in the mens' room.
She does donate generously to the Friends of the Library though, maybe as a franchise fee?

What? A "jaffa cake" is a tiny lowfat cookie! I've just looked it up and each one only has 46 calories. Do people actually chop them up and only eat a piece? I am shocked, this is craziness!! #lindsaylohan

I could understand referencing cheesecake or something, or saying "I always eat a whole handful of jaffa cakes" but thinking ONE is too much just blows my mind.
And this is probably why there is no chance in hell that I will ever remotely look like Liz Hurley. #lindsaylohan
