She's a divorced mom.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-03 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, and therefore now single. Didn't she get divorced after getting the BBT gig?

(Anonymous) 2015-10-03 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
She's an anti-vax, attachment parenting moron. She once said that kids around 6 years old are just watching tv for the colors and shapes.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-03 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
a. No she's not anti-vaxx, see comment below

b. attachment parenting rocks

c. She's a a Dr of neuroscience, maybe she knows something you don't about the developing mind. Also, citation needed.

Too bad she's also a batshit antivaxxer. Doing real good by those kids, mmhmm.

Because Every Mayim Bialik Secret Has To Have This

(Anonymous) 2015-10-03 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
She is not anti-vaxx. She has said that she doesn't vaccinate her kids because they had an extreme reaction in their family, not because she doesn't believe in vaccines. The only thing she has said that could possibly be construed (if seen through hate-goggles) as anti-vaxx is her belief that parents should know what their children are being injected with and make decisions from there. That's not casting aspersions on vaccination, it's encouraging good parenting and frankly, intelligent peopling. Know what is going into your body and make a decision with all the facts in front of you, don't just take the "side" of one movement or the other.

She clearly wants to avoid the negative publicity of being anti-vaxx, and who can blame her? Those people are nutjobs. But saying she's not anti-vaxx ignores how complicated the issue is for her. She's affiliated with the Holistic Moms Network, who has prominent anti-vaxx advocates on their advisory board:

http://www.holisticmoms.org/

Initially she said they were a non-vaccinating family:

http://celebritybabies.people.com/2009/06/04/mayim-bialik-talks-attachment-parenting-with-cbb/

But now she claims her kids ARE vaccinated, but didn't say which ones:

https://www.facebook.com/official.mayim.bialik/posts/10155194874840008

What she says about how children get sooooo many vaccinations and we should just be real careful you guys is one of the key talking points of the anti-vaxx movement. They adopted this approach because it's a lot more media-friendly than ranting about mercury and poison injections. Kids get a lot of vaccines because there are quite a few deadly diseases to guard against, it's not some silly conspiracy. There is no medical reason to be "cautious" about the sheer number or to use a delayed vaccination schedule.

hm. I don't consider myself an anti-vaxer, and my kid is vaxed against stuff like Polio and measles, but there are vaccines I don't think are necessary, at least not depending on the situation. Like, I didn't have my daughter vaxed with the meningitis vaccine they are giving here. wanna know why? because I got a little pamphlet from the manufacturer that went MENINGITIS KILLS Type A is totally common in your country, 90% of children who get it are below 1/2 year, and they can TOTALLY DIE, so you need to vaccinate your 2 year old with a vaccine for type B now! CHILDREN DIE!!
Sorry, no. If you try to make me scared of car crashes to sell me bycicle helmets I'm not buying. If there ever is a case of more than one child with meningitis (of that type)in the region where I live I'l totally reconsider and probably get her vaxed (or, who knows, maybe a kid with a compromised immune system joins her daycare or something) but I don't see the need right now. Likewise with hepB. When she's around 14, sure, it's an STD. If I ever go to a counry with poor hygiene? sure. Right now, just because that's how "it's done" according to plan? nope. I don't have to buy everything people try to sell me by playing the scarycard or OMG you're so irresponsible if plain common sense tells me that it's not necessary, and I'm generally more hands off when it comes to medicinal interventions.

Nice try. She is relying on other people vaxxing, and using herd immunity as an excuse to put her kids and other people's kids at risk.

There's a link right above you that has her stating outright that her jids are vaccinated.

like she couldn't bring up her kids getting a decent job rme
it's not like she's a good actress or decently clever

noooooo, she must cling on to bbt for anything but the insane money

(Anonymous) 2015-10-03 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Using her degree for a job with health insurance would most likely mean a nine-to-five career, which she doesn't want since she's homeschooling her kids and feels it's important to spend as much time with them as she can.

She is a good actress, but she lucked into TBBT. She's considered Hollywood Ugly and before she got the show she could barely get smalls bits in tv roles (she mentioned at one point that she went back to acting with the hopes of simply making enough for health insurance). By now she's probably locked into her contract but even if she wasn't, she'd be a fool for walking away from that kind of steady money.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-03 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, geez, she homeschools too?

Have to agree, she lucked out with BBT. Her salary started at around 30K per episode and is now closer to 100K per episode. Not as much as the actors who play Leonard, Sheldon and Penny, but that is nothing to sneeze at. Especially now that she's in practically every episode. What regular day job would get you 2 million+ a year? Before BBT, she had no career in Hollywood.

...Yeah, I'm sorry but she's an anti-vaxxor who breastfed her children well into their toddler years and slut-shames other women (feminist? how?). I can't respect her.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-04 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ignoring the anti-vaxx bullshit that's already been run into the ground, and the feminist issue because that's just gonna lead to another litany of nitpicking -- there's nothing wrong with breastfeeding a toddler. Cultures all over the world do it with no ill effects. It can't hurt, and frankly the only arguments I've heard are based around the idea of the breast being a solely sexual body part, which, ew, is not what we should be teaching our children, nor what they think naturally.

Meanwhile the health benefits of long-term breastfeeding for both mother and child are well documented. And no, I'm not saying that breast-feeding long-term should be used as a substitution for all modern medicine.

I'm breastfeeding my children well into their toddler years.

This is only considered "weird" in the recent West.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-04 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Um, I'm from the ~east and to be honest I'd never heard of breastfeeding children until their toddler years. That's entirely a western concept so don't drag us into your crazy ass bullshit.
