If there's anything that unites people online instead of pitting them against each other, it's memes. Even moms and dads who might have vastly different approaches to raising children can find common ground through this universal language. And the Instagram account 'Death by Diapers' is an excellent example of this.
Run by a self-described "geriatric Millennial with 5 young kids, using memes to cope with this beautifully tragic thing called parenthood," it strikes to the very core of what this journey is all about and has already earned itself 67.2K followers, proving that some victories, defeats, and challenges are simply universal.

What is truly upsetting me in gender reveal parties (which also should actually be named sex reveal parties as this is what they are) is that people are making a big deal about having a boy or a girl. Why does it matter? Get a puppy if you want to choose. Boys and girls should be loved equally. I understand that we can have preferences as in "oh after three boys it would be nice to have a girl" but having dozens of relatives gathered just to see your reaction when you find out if you are having a boy or a girl is seriously disturbing. And I am not even mentioning the death that occurred, the wild fires, the mess simply left behind...

Currently, the thread above this one is the one about the baby with the iPad.
Whether on the internet or in real life, moms and dads benefit from each other's support and camaraderie. Vicki Broadbent, the woman behind the acclaimed family lifestyle blog Honest Mum, believes that parents need other parents so they don't feel so alone.
But that said, "I only mix with parents I would hang out with even if we weren't parents," she explained to Bored Panda. "Being moms, for example, is not enough to make us compatible as friends. We need to share values first and foremost, but also interests too, outside of our kids in order to bond and enjoy one another's company."

Definitely for girls. Boys need to watch a live child birth after boys have to take care of child that has colic. Let's see how many kids happen after that sex Ed class.

It really does depend on how the story is told. When my daughter was about 3 she was playing with her toys in the bath, she had a cheap kids magnifying glass. She noticed that when she held it near the wall, the light from the window became focused and she got the image of the window, sun, sky, and clouds on the white tiles. It's pretty cool I think. But when I'm feeling particularly pompous I'll tell people she reinvented the camera obscura when she was 3 years old.
"Ultimately friendship is about coming together and having fun, it's about feeling comfortable in one another's company and it involves building trust which usually occurs over time," Broadbent added.
"I cherish my friends who are parents because they're non-judgmental, kind, and supportive. They're all super funny too!"

I'm actually pretty good at the answers. However the repeated mom, mom, mom. I sometimes wonder if dying is the only way out. LOL

As long as they cry. My brother fell down two steps of stairs and my mother knew it was serious because he did not cry. He'd cracked his skull and was unconscious. Crying, though annoying, is still a good sign.
These relationships can indeed be valuable. For example, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, American parents are more likely to say they feel judged by family members than by their friends, other parents in their community, or people they interact with online.
However, while about half or fewer parents say they regularly feel judged by different groups, a majority of them (57%) report there might be some truth to it, as they believe their children's successes and failures reflect a great deal or a fair amount on the job they're doing as parents.

Has to be the kid that can clean the entire house in one night. And that includes cleaning up litres of paint without the lingering smell of turps, cleaning great gobs of honey with no stickiness left over, restoring burnt doorknobs, etc
"Horses for courses though right, not every friend needs to meet your every need, and some friends will be more of an acquaintance, others will be your 'ride or dies,'" Vicki of Honest Mum added.
"Keep your circle small though and find out if they have your back before telling them your most intimate secrets!"

Priest, vicar and rabbi talk about when life begins. Vicar says "life begins at birth", priest counters with "no no no, life begins at conception." Rabbi leans back, laughs a bit and says "you are both wrong. Life begins when kids move out and dog dies."
At the end of the day, the mom believes it all comes down to trust and what feels comfortable. "Some feel it's easier to open up candidly to those they don't know that well. Others, like myself, have to have known friends for years to be fully vulnerable. Follow your heart, but be cautious too; it's hard to ascertain people's intentions when you've only just met them," she suggested. So if memes are enough for you, that's good too!

I ham it up. I do the old man voice with my retelling, and I exaggerate the suffering. "Well in my day movies didn't come on DVDs. They came on celluloid reels. And you had to walk to the studio in hollywood and pay for them to make a copy, which took like a week. Then you had to ravel it all like so... *mountaineering rope ravel action* ... and then you had to walk home with it. Only to realise you didn't have a celluloid projector. So you'd have to save up for one. But they didn't sell them assembled, nosirree. You had to assemble it with a screwdriver."

I did that with my granddaughter. It was a steep hill and I told her to walk carefully down. She ran and her little legs couldn't keep up with gravity. She fell, I told her that's what happens when you don't pay attention to your circumstances. There was no crying, just this look on her face.

I don't think that any parent would be happy when their kid is hurt.
Mary Peace 2 years ago
No, they won't be happy, but it would be rather good if the kid didn't keep doing the things that leads to them getting hurt. again.

That is why you pick it up carefully, pretend to eat it- receive a smile - and put it back in the baby's hand - and receive an even bigger smile. Win, win; they got you a present you enjoyed, they got a present back and you avoided the yucky part :)
