For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 09, 2009

Oh Anne wait until Richard is born. You’ll throw that organic stuff right out the window.

One does have to make allowances for her, Christopher is her first child.

This reminds me of how Wanda and Darryl from the comic Baby Blues treated their first daughter Zoe. But by Hammie it was completely normal. Normal for a comic that is.

This comic continues to amaze me. I learn alot by reading it every day.

I think this is one of the original strips.

@ladywolf, a lot is two words.

I have bought “processed” foods, and my 2 girls (4 and 6) are already almost as tall as me (although I’m only 5’ tall).

The best quality in comics.

I made my own baby food just because it was cheaper, but if we were out somewhere and hadn’t brought anything with us for the baby, I didn’t have any qualms about popping into a drugstore or wherever was nearby and grabbing a jar of the commercial stuff. At home I usually just threw whatever we were having into the blender a few times a week and froze the extra.

WOW Some people can get really nasty on these comic pages. THEY’RE COMICS!!! Hang in there Ladywolf17…..I’ll see ya on the Pib page

I dislike people who try to make others feel bad who don’t measure up to their perfect standards. Elly shouldn’t feel badly over the cookie. It looks delicious.

Totally agree with you Dr. I come here for the laughs (and some witty banter). ;-)

I can get all the negativism I want from the real world (it’s a virtual bargain basement give-a-way!)

I love Elizabeth’s perfect timing during that conversation! :-)

You can learn a lot here: foolishness, friendliness, some wisdom, and a lot of laughs.

I had to laugh when my kids were small. A co-worker of my husband had kids similar ages, and a wife who was gung-ho into naturalness, purity, nothing “processed”, etc. The pediatrician recommended that she feed the toddler a McDonalds burger: pure beef, double ground and very healthy. I loved it.

Was the child an adopted malnourished ethiopian, Atajayhawk?

I make most of my kid’s food, but I have to admit there are some things just not worth the time when I can buy it in a jar. Like prunes.

not exactly, gt liberal. same thing happened to my sister - the kid just needed iron!

gmartin, don’t you think you’re just a LITTLE TOO fascinated with the Big Top! You waste more time typing your insults than you probably spend reading the comics!!

Ash, are you an English teacher or something that you find the need to correct everyone’s spelling?

Um, this is a comic strip, people.

gmartin - It doesn’t matter if you read this comment, but others will. I just noticed that your comment had nothing to do with today’s strip.

In the perfect world mothers would have the time to make their child’s breakfast from scratch.

gmartin, I read your micro rant after I posted and I know sometimes people come back to see if anyone responded to their posts. If you did, does that mean you can’t comment without looking really stupid? Well, don’t you worry about it because I already know you can be a pain in the A$$ sometimes. We’ve tried being nice to you but it’s now time to just cut your loss lose! Why do you even read the comics? It clearly does nothing to cheer you up!

i regularly return to the strips i’ve commented on to see what others have had to say after my first visit. there are even times when i will return to previous days - if there was a string of comments that interested me enough to wonder where they went to after i left. and yes, i do “have a life” - it’s why i visit at such varying times of day.

baaad mommie! bad bad mommie… go to your room!

lmy kids always ate healthy foods , but not organic,

You can almost always tell who among us is Narcissistic by what they write. They actually think the rest of the world is interested in their opinions to such a degree that a debate ensues. They welcome a debate because it gives them yet another opportunity to rant . Reading the comments is only entertaining when it’s not a battleground here.

If you wanna do all that, great… but DO NOT try to PREACH to us who don’t.

as for the comment stuff… I prefer if it were on a separate page… i don’t WANT to get caught up in it, but I can’t seem not to.

Thanks Ash for the correction. SchmoozeMinkey you are so lucky that I’m not the flagging type. I see that your comment has been removed. I stand by what I say, comics like For Better or For Worse, not only are entertaining to read but can teach you things from time to time.

And I’m pretty sure that everyone here has a life, we just like to take time out sometimes and relax by doing things like reading comic strips.

I must have missed some posts before they got flagged, otherwise, people must really not like gmartin and schmoozeminkey. lol

Really? That seems odd to me.

Nothing wrong with bakery cookies Elly.

Wow, someone is leaning on a lot of nerves! Personally, I try to avoid feeding my rugrats sugar for purely practical reasons - my parents call my 18-month-old “Hurricane Jenny”, she doesn’t need any more energy than she already has!

Doctoon said, …There are some obvious jerks. There are people who think we want to know about their political and religious views. There are some crazy people. …

Why so repetitive, redundant, and prolix, Doc?

We really know how to get on nerves in the comic world. I really love to read the comics online, but may be having second thoughts because of the harsh vibes in here, or maybe just not read any of the comments. They used to be based on the comic, but now, not so much!

Sheesh, guys, lets read and enjoy a good laugh every now and then.

Ah, the holier-than-thous regarding everything – even baby food

In a discussion with friends I heard msg causes cancer. has anyone out there heard this?
