She needs to host SNL so she can have a Melania-off with Cecily 😂.

I love her so much, she doesn’t stay in one part of her acting career, she does multiple things that she can handle. Musical theatre, ukulele, Melania impersonator, tv shows, and her own comedy musical albums! She is so inspirational.

Ha ha! I too hate new-parent-math! When I ask you how old your baby is, I'm just being polite, OK? I don't really care what the exact answer is, and I certainly ain't interested in doing your duodecimal tests. "Thirteen months"? "Twenty-two months"? 🙄 What the heck is wrong with "just over a year" or "almost two"? I mean really...🤣

@MMChoza 6 жыл бұрын

R Garlin I'm a parent and my kids are "almost one and three" for the last 6mnths🤣 I hated when other parent did that too...Not specifying exact age of your child does not make you love him less , if anything it makes you care for much important things...

@fsantos4199 6 жыл бұрын

I'm not a parent, and people I know who are parents don't say "13 months" or "27 weeks" or anything like that. However, I did read somewhere that the explanation is apparently because babies develop very fast. Thus, a 1-year-old isn't at the same developmental stage as a 1.5-year-old, hence the emphasis on the exact number of months in a baby's age. I think maybe parents of young children quantify ages like that because they picked the habit up from baby books, parenting websites, or their pediatricians. I could be wrong, though.

@rgarlinyc 6 жыл бұрын

MMChoza: Oh! You're my kind of parent! 😀 And I bet your kids are super glad you're theirs! 👍👍

@MMChoza 6 жыл бұрын

F Santos I understand your point and I do have to specify when I'am at the doctors but not when I'm with my friend...especialy with ones who don't have kids...people need to understand that not everyone wants to talk about babies and poops and breastfeeding...that's why I have strond friendship with my non-mom friends because I need to have conversations other than my kids...every mother does...I love them to my core but for my sanity, somedays I need a rest and an adault conversation with someone who doesn't have kids...because when you talk to other moms, you allways end up on the subject of kids...
