    My god I was 2 weeks late for my little ones chicken pox vaccine because I was very sick and he contracted it the day before I set up an appointment for him to get vaccinated. I was living alone and had no help, to take him sooner. He braved through it and God bless my little bub it was a minor case of the pox. Vaccine on the prescribed date is super important. I haven't missed a single one for either child after this mishap.

    Vaccine debate aside, the right to refuse treatment is an absolutely vital freedom. I'm living with a chronic illness, and I've had way too many doctors try to make me their guinea pig. My right to say no has saved my life. Sure, not everyone uses their freedoms wisely, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have that freedom.

    Yes but these people refuse treatment (well actually prophylaxis) for their children who cannot decide for themselves. They affect both their kids and kids who cannot get vaccinated by lowering herd immunity.

    A “fun” part of being a parent is learning that your offspring will literally develop new powers and methods to outsmart you year after year. A newborn will cry and cry, but at least they are pretty immobile. Toddlers, on the other hand, have pretty workable feet and will use them to engage in all sorts of shenanigans.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    While this means you can do more things together, it also means a lot more active supervision, as anyone who has seen a concerned looking father sprinting after a child on a scooter can attest to. This is also perhaps why parents turn to memes as a way of venting and sharing the ups and downs of raising a child.

    After all, a newfound independence (even if it’s just walking) comes with a responsibility of the parent to actually teach their kid some good behaviors. No child is going to happily do their business in a toilet or brush their teeth without constant reinforcement. It’s not all bad though, children come with a sort of wonder and creativity that basically no adult can match.

    My brother and SIL have five kids and live right next door. SILs' and my mothers' rules mostly overlap out of neccessity: spoiling kids that come around every day bites you in the (rear) end. Still: there are some "only when you're here, not with your parents/grandparents" moments, but they (kids and adults) cope with it.

    It is not as obvious before becoming a parent, but raising a kid reminds me of driving on a dark road, and your headlights don't quite show you far enough to really be sure you are going in the right direction. You always feel the worry about making the right choices, and the consequences.

    The fruits of a parent's labors (or lack thereof) will show up later, as the toddler grows up a bit. It’s important to keep them active and engaged in learning new things. This is also the time where some things might start becoming habitual, as children develop more distinct preferences and desires and now have the autonomy to at least try and keep them.

    Or even doing that parttime. Research isn't looking stuff up. Would be fine to just do that, but actual results of actual research. All anti-science is stupid. Would it just be themselves, I wouldn't even mind, but as this vastly unnecessarily reintroduces diseases that were gone for decades ... maybe having at least one classmate suddenly not come anymore, but return a few months later, with crutches, brackets, braces or even a wheelchair just made it visible in a more convincing way than old black and white photographs of parents' broken classmates?

    Every time I get on a plane I trust that the engineers design it properly, the manufacturer built it properly, the maintenance crew maintains it properly, and that the pilot knows how to fly it. The alternative is to build a plane, maintain it, and fly it myself. So being as my ceiling in medical research is barely passing biology 101 my freshman year of college, then I am pretty content to trust the people who have devoted their life to medical research

    Why not? A mom can look nice and dress herself up for the playgroup if she wants to. I don't have human children, but I don't like even the "ha ha funny joking" shame that women do to other women over stuff like clothes, makeup, dressing up, etc.

    If you wear nice clothes at the playground with a toddler they either get dirty or even damaged or you are that kind of parent that does not interact with your child.

    Some women can just wear makeup, look nice , have their hair and nails done and still play with their kids, bake with them, arrive early or on time . I've a friend who has one kid age 19 who looks messy, arrives late. That's fine too that's her thing.

    As an adopted child, I can definitely say that I was NOT breastfed and there was no way I could have been XD While I might be weird, I definitely survived to adulthood with all my bones and organs intact! Formula is fine! Fed is best XD

    I needed this. I came to this whole thread in tears, looking for a funny distraction while my spouse feeds our baby a bottle of formula because yet again it’s a morning I don’t have enough breastmilk to feed our child. I hate the medical issues that are keeping me from feeding her the way I wanted to… but I’m grateful for formula that keeps her belly full. It’s hard for me, but my kid is happy and doesn’t know anything different. I hope she grows up weird but intact too! Thank you

    The only issue with "formula " as you overseas people call it, is that people in the third world were tricked into thinking that it was better than the real milk by some company. Apart from that, what else would they drink if the breastfeeding for some reason isn't an option?

    This is absolutely true. Nevertheless, I love the concept of breast-milk banks (at hospitals) where moms with much milk can donate their excess milk, which is then checked and given to (especially premature) babies whose moms don't have (enough) milk.

    I have six grand-children, two of whom were breastfed. Personal choices from my daughter and two DILs. And you know what? They're all healthy, cherished and happy, which finally is all that counts. Breastfeeding can be great, but it also can be a miserable experience for both mother and child. Better give a bottle with shared fulfilment and pleasure than breastfeed with anxiety and/or pain that will communicate to the baby. And no guilt! Your baby is fed and cared for, you didn't fail.

    I think I saw this before and the landing was something like ‘eating old chips they find on the car floor’. Anyway, I didn’t realise how pro-breastfeeding I was (for myself ) until i had a baby who wasn’t eating and I went through hell to make her feed well from my breast. Slightly better nourishment, much much easier on the mom.

    Please note: Recent scientific research and clinical studies have shown that infant formulas made from cow's milk (e.g., Similac and Enfamil) significantly increase the risk of NEC occurring in premature infants. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease that affects mostly the intestine of premature infants. The wall of the intestine is invaded by bacteria, which cause local infection and inflammation that can ultimately destroy the wall of the bowel (intestine). It’s a horrific painful death.

    Another one that isn't really funny. Even "joking" about sending your kid to an orphanage isn't funny and can be traumatizing to the kid. Children do not always understand sarcasm/joking, depending on their age. (Yeah, I know, it's a meme, no big deal, except the attitude of the meme still is cruddy, IMO)

    When my kid complains about having to clean his room or do basically anything, we tell him that’s fine, we’ll just give all his stuff to the poor kids. When he tells us he hates living here, we tell him he can go live with the poor kids. This always straightens him out. He doesn’t want to live with or like the poor kids.

    I think it's an old evolutionary trait. Men are never completely sure of their paternity and a newborn who looks a lot like the father gets better chances of being acknowledged and taken care of by him. As the kid grows older, resemblance with the mother usually gets more obvious.

    Please stop making too much things with children. They need a break and to get bored. Some kids experiment burn out because of parents pulling the bar too high in term of activities, mostly to glorify themselves and their parentality. Making children just reading, resting, drawing or simply invent games is fine

    Us "pet parents" have our own nightmares and struggles (like the 2am "hork hoRK HORK" of a cat, or the eternal living hell of the diarrhea after your puppy eats literal garbage while on a walk) but only the truly unhinged think that it's somehow exactly the same as raising a human child. I can call my dogs and cats silly nicknames and I don't have to worry about them actually LEARNING the words I say to them XD We do suffer the knowledge that our beloved "furbabies" will have much, much shorter lifespans than any human children we might have, however :(

    True. My cat is both cuter, and far less work. Also, when he has a tantrum, he expresses it with angry mews, and rage-zoomies where he runs laps around the room and jumps on and off the furniture. Much less stressful than having a child screech like an airhorn and throw things. I'm well aware I picked the better option.

    Is this something that the modern father should relate to? It sounds very much like a 50s family. Taking care of your kids should be natural regardless of gender. I'd one of you need to be somewhere and do something, even just to relax and take a walk, of course the other parent will look after the kids.

    I lost all respect for BLM when they called for rioting in places like Santa Monica (where I live) and Beverly Hills. Basically, inciting violence. So much video footage of black thugs smashing shop windows, looting and setting fires. Our cops wear black uniforms, so BLM means they matter, too.

    "Our cops wear black uniforms, so BLM means they matter, too." - wearing black-colored clothing does not make you a person of color. Just putting on a black shirt and black slacks does not somehow magically make you a black person.
