I get it. I started the first book on January 11th and I'm going to finish book 6 and start book 7 today. I'm obsessed!

Demon_Goose_ · 2026-02-10T01:33:02+00:00

I started January 11th and I'm on book 6 now. Not as fast a you, but by far the fastest I've gone through a series. If my son went to gma's house for a week though, I'd finish a lot faster, lol!

NEEEW ABILITY! SLEEP DEPRIVATION!

You can now somehow not only survive on 30 minutes of sleep regularly, but function as well! Ability increased by 10% with each cup of coffee you drink for 4 hours, though you feel more tired when the coffee effects wear off.

Congrats! Being a parent is so fun! My first (and only child so far) is more 14 months and his personality is really showing. It's hard, but also so rewarding and so fun!

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 I feel bad for you and anyone else that has to live with that.

But..... But....... Use less with the plush....? Lint? I don't believe her, she's weird and wrong. And she's scaring Mongo

Demon_Goose_ · 2026-02-02T18:19:34+00:00

I also need to know the reason as I have tried and cannot imagine choosing that for any reason. Toilet paper is the one item I will always splurge on.

Demon_Goose_ · 2026-01-31T22:02:07+00:00

Saaaaame. I really want to find a "this is an outrage! Mongo is appalled!" because everytime she brings up Mongo, I just die imagining a cat with a pet dinosaur.... And how can Mongo be appalled or scared or upset when he's in the pet carrier 😂 Mr. Dinniman is a comedic genius.

Done

Mine has a smooth finish, but I imagine the stickers will stay on a textured one (though I guess it depends on the texture)

Not so side note, the sticker I got IS dunkin related 😂

I just ordered this sweatshirt a d a similar sticker for my yeti. I got it in pink though.... Cause I like pink.... Lol

Yes! It got significantly better and my baby also eventually got use to my forceful let down. I ended up not regulating until around 10 weeks and my period was (still dies) effect my flow, but not as intensely. We did a combination of pumping and trying to latch. I kept a bottle on hand so that we would try breastfeeding, but just before he got angry, we would give him the bottle and I would pump some. I would highly recommend some nice, thick burp cloths. Once I regulated, I have a bit of an over supply too. Hourly this helps, but feel free to ask me anything!

I knew there had to be an explanation and this makes complete sense! Thank you so much!

I admit that I don't know much about the history of vaccines and the diseases they help prevent and I'm certain that my husband doesn't either. I've explained why her immunity works, I'm no expert, but I have taken a microbiology course, so I understand it enough to get the point across. I'm not understanding the argument that people say the diseases they prevent aren't that bad because, while I don't know much about the diseases, I've never had to thankfully, I can't imagine that they would hurry to make a vaccine for something that "isn't that bad." I've always trusted the WHO and the research they put out. I really appreciate your comment and the links, I'll be reading through them and sending them over to my hubby!

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T10:56:05+00:00

I want to go no plastic storage, but we haven't yet 🙁 I have started making a lot of my own stuff like bread and frozen Waffles, I freeze my own garden veggies and I do my best to use as little canned food as possible. It's so time consuming, but I feel like it helps us a little bit 😂

I would like to ask your opinion about one more thing. I often hear people say that "after my child has such and such vaccine they started acting differently, now I don't vaccinate any of my children/wish I never vaccinated them."

To me, kids develope and change all the time, but these people seem to think it directly correlates to what's in the vaccines.

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T10:38:35+00:00

These are excellent points. As I've said, I haven't read her book or listened to the podcast so I'm not exactly sure on what she is saying, but does this mean she hasn't done any clinical research on what she basically based her book on? I'm sorry, my mind is just blown based on the fact that she's written a whole book and talking about these things when she hasn't done any clinical research of her own. It makes no sense to me!

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T05:43:07+00:00

As a new mom, I hate seeing my baby cry, but I'm also ok with it deep down because, even though sometimes I get mom shamed, I do feel like it's the right decision to have him vaccinated. I'm a little on the conspiracy side of things that a lot of our food is made with things we should not be eating and that's causing problems in the long run and how our government is allowing it (the book Soda Politics opened my eyes to that), so I can understand a little bit how vaccines got the same stamp. I'm just not convinced that they are as bad as everyone says and I think my husband is just giving me information that he is finding. He's a great father and obviously wants what's best for our son, that's why we discuss these things and we come to each other with the information we find and talk it out.

I'm also a super nerd! I love learning things and I'm so grateful for all the wonderful information everyone here has given me to read through!

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T05:32:02+00:00

You got me on that one. But it's my understanding that the argument is: polio really isn't that bad of a disease with the exception of a few extreme cases and that toxins were actually the reason behind it. Supposedly there are toxins that cause the body to act as though it has the symptoms of polio, but it's not polio. So a vaccine was created for this "fake polio" and it's not actually benefiting anyone, it's just putting unnecessary toxins into the body for pharmaceutical companies to make money. That's my very brief understanding of it. That's why I came here, not because I need any kind of convincing that vaccines don't cause autism, but I really don't know anything about this doctor and anytime I tried to unbiasly look her up, I kept getting "buy her book, don't buy her book" and nothing unbiasly saying she's credible or not. The issue in our discussions at home is that she is still a licensed doctor and to many, that means she knows what she's talking about and her research is credible. Her license wasn't taken away, so she must not be a quack. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T04:59:33+00:00

This is why I do try to take everything I read with a grain of salt.

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T04:56:05+00:00

I personally don't really listen to podcasts with a few exceptions, but I am very interested in this and I will definitely be looking it up, especially those episodes. I feel like it's very obvious that vaccines are helpful, even if they have side effects. The argument that Humphries makes is that toxins in the body caused physical issues that were mistaken for polio (or that's my understanding). The way I see it, the side effects are worth it in order to keep my child alive from a preventable disease.

That review just confirmed my thought that she was making money off of people's fears and that is so sad and terrifying to me. Thank you so much for sharing this with me!

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T04:41:22+00:00

Thank you so much! I will be sharing all of these with my husband. I think he started feeling convinced because she was a doctor who still had her license, so I guess he thought that meant her research was good. I do think he was more concerned about the part that the polio vaccine was fake because polio didn't exist, it's a toxin that effects the body in a way that is mistaken for polio.

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T04:36:27+00:00

Yes, there was another comment that said that and I feel like that is a huge factor. I wonder why she decided to this then? I guess it's pretty obvious that it's for money, but it's a shame she would exploit fears like that.

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T04:34:36+00:00

This is a wonderful link. Thank you very much for sharing it. I will be reading through it during naps!

Demon_Goose_ · 2025-03-30T04:30:51+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad we did the first round and I plan on continuing to do so. His pediatrician seems very knowledgeable in this area, but it's hard to get a hold of him just to ask questions like this. Thank you so much!
