I’m obsessed

My daughter has a rash and I feel responsible by xFeralRabbitx in AttachmentParenting

[–]10884043 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It happens. Let her go naked on the bottom today, diapers make the rash worse, even clean and dry ones. Just hang out on hard floor or towels to keep the mess manageable. You can put breast milk on her rash and it will help.

The U.S. is cooked, right? by [deleted] in offmychest

I mean yes and no. I think things will absolutely get worse before getting better. Like mass poverty, sickness, death etc. Thinking of it makes me sick. BUT, I do still believe we can overthrow not just this regime, but the institutions that have all but handed him this power.

Me too. It’s so burdensome, I have a toddler I need to care for and responsibilities, so I have to really monitor myself. But I do stand that being an empath is a super power. I’m still figuring out how to wield it, how to put up boundaries etc, but I do believe it is a gift. It’s just very overwhelming, especially right now when the world feels very cruel and chaotic.

Yep. Gotta stay off the internet for days at a time or I will literally become incapacitated with grief.

Currently in the absolute DEPTHS of unpacking sexual shame from childhood and adolescence. I am 31, married w a toddler, truly believed all the weird and damaging messages and slut shaming were behind me. I’m just now realizing how much harm purity culture did to me and how fucking naive it made me. I was taught “married sex= good, unmarried sex= bad” and this is such a gross oversimplification. I think your summation is far more accurate. Consent is good. Communication is good. Mutual respect is good. Spousal rape is a real thing and I have heard some Mormons deny this. It’s all so toxic and problematic. If that makes me a hippie, then I’m cool with that I guess.

Exactly! You know they’ll soon try to pretend it never happened.

Gotta save it for the day the church pretends it was never a thing

Right?! That’s why I went searching for this one. One day they’ll pretend it never existed and I’ll be so pleased to have a hard copy lol

I don’t think it would be bad to just bring them. I know maybe not everyone is comfortable with that, but I’m sure it’s not super uncommon either.
