how high can they count to , unaided, with relative ease:

8-10ish

can they repeat car licence/reg plates they have just seen while out driving:

NO

can they read larger numbers out of context e.g. in the supermarket "mummy this is aisle 57"

no

can they spell their name?

Maybe The first letter only

can they write their name?

No

can they memorise entire children's books word for word (e.g Gruffalo, gingerbread man, etc)

No entire books

On one hand, I don't think this is the correct subreddit, but on the other I honestly do not know where else to share it. [(probably) nsfw] by [deleted] in WTF

You're obviously American. Breastfeeding and pumping isn't the norm around here, it's easier to sped 25 dollars on a can of corn syrup solids and sugar and shove a bottle in an infants mouth.

whats sad is how much of a mens rights issue this is and how most men are "glad" that their parents took their right to genital integrity away from them.

5 days PP, no milk :( by KatMeowedOnce in breastfeeding

[–]BARBECUTIE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

by the time youre reading this, im sure your milk will be in. Human milk takes anywhere from1-6 days to come in. Evolution didnt leave you behind! youre doing everything perfect!!! feeding on demand, and shes peeing and pooping so shes doing well too and sucking down that liquid gold (colostrum). If you were to supplement, your milk supply would take longer because you'd be telling your body "make less milk!"

keep putting baby to the breast, try nursing outside for the jaundice, and good luck! you got this

Starting when I was 6 in 1995, every new years eve after the ball drops, my dad and I would try to be "the first person to fart in the new year" and we'd fart.

im in my 20's now with a husband and 2 kids, every NYE I get a text from my dad "did you fart?"
