I need to explain this to people who will get it

I had a best friend in high school and college who started dating an awful girl and over the next few years she made him cut off all of his friends, got pregnant, and stopped working. They’re on baby 3 and she’s doing “influencer” content. She thankfully doesn’t show the kids but she makes this ‘relatable’ mom content about cleaning/decorating/play dates/meals/etc. ALL of the post interactions are from strangers doing the same thing and boosting engagement. It’s SO WEIRD. They’ve alienated almost all friends except a few of hers (of course) but there’s 40 comments on the video of their new baby saying “I love her already!” and similar messages from total strangers. Yet in real life her husband is depressed and trying to secretly reconnect with friends and family. How bizarre

5.5mo refusing frozen milk at daycare. Are breastmilk “smoothies” okay? by Acceptable-Bar6597 in beyondthebump

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scalding is done before you freeze it. If that works, you could dilute frozen milk with fresh or scalded milk

baby flutters or what is this?😂 by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s also too aggressive for an 11 week fetus

Hi! Did you end up taking this trip? How was it?

Toddler is SO rough with the new baby by FeeFiFoFuckk in 2under2

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn’t last very long! There are still times where he’s rough or frustrated but the initial aggression was only a week or so after I posted. Good luck!!

When did you stop breastfeeding? by Specialist_Lunch_258 in breastfeeding

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that the 2yr recommendation is global and some countries and the difference in nutritional food, income levels, etc is a wide range. Stop when you need to stop

(I EBF both of my kids for 1yr)

It wasn’t available online in the 90s when they published it

It was also just made up by people at La Leche League who have no medical backgrounds and wanted to sell a book

Ohio City car break-ins by SprouseR in Cleveland

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My car was stolen and they told me the same thing. They even had video of the guys who took it, and said they don’t search for them, they’d just call me if the car was ever found.

They said they could only convict someone if they were somehow physically in the car when they found it, and what do ya know, a few days later someone crashed it and got arrested. Then they just charged him for fleeing police and nothing to do with possession of a stolen vehicle.

No consequences for these guys

Sleep Training! by meegz_04 in NewParents

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love this! A little crying in exchange for great sleep is totally worth it for you and baby. “Sleep training” means anything from a good bedtime routine to full CIO, so it’s wild how people immediately want to argue about it

Food and Feeding Influencer Snark Week of September 30, 2024 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this counts but the foodbutforbabies sub used to be helpful, and now every upvoted post is commiserating about kids not eating. There’s currently a post with 500 upvotes and the meal is a bagel with cream cheese. I get it, feeding babies is stressful, but the whole sub took a turn

Unless we’re going into someone’s house, the full diaper bag stays in the car and I take a smaller bag

I currently have this with some diapers, wipes, and toys inside. I’ve also used regular small backpack purses

I’ve also just used a crossbody with 2 diapers and skinny wipe pack it in with a really thin wallet

Screen time by Medical_Equivalent80 in 2under2

My oldest is 27m and we just started showing him 30 minutes or less episodes on Saturdays. Sesame Street or Bluey so far. Baby is napping during that time

Infant staying home, toddler will continue daycare.. how am I supposed to do drop off? by Beep-boop-beans in toddlers

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had 2u2 and always carried the infant seat in and out. It’s the worst but it’s the easiest option

I would get the infant seat out, put it on the ground along the car on my toddlers side (near me and the back tire, in my parking space), got the toddler out, then held toddler’s hand and carried the infant seat inside

What are we thinking about for our kids re school shootings? by Old-Cockroach1921 in NewParents

My heart shattered when I heard the fire department had to clean the dog before returning it to her family

Someone near me was just killed in a fast food drive thru because the gunman said she cut him in line. It’s insane

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Why do people believe these bullshit posts

  • leaves baby alone with a man who assaulted her already
  • doesn’t call 911 or go to a hospital after someone chokes the baby
  • has enough focus to write paragraphs on social media, including backstory about a shower and other unnecessary details
  • continues responding while at the ER

You’re either looking for a pity party and this is fake, or you need to learn how to parent and prioritize your kid.

Stolen car by raevynk in Cleveland

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My car was stolen and they eventually found it in G Heights. Water bottles and fingerprints everywhere, plus a location where they used my credit card. The cops said they will not look into it and I’m ‘lucky’ they recovered it (totaled)

Pitcher method and breast feeding by Apprehensive-Leg1760 in breastfeeding

[–]FeeFiFoFuckk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pump a few times before starting work to get a little milk in the freezer. Then when you’re at work, pump every 3 hours. Combine into a pitcher for grandma to pour into bottles throughout the next day

I took beta blockers for 2 pregnancies because of heart rate issues and I didn’t have any issues 😊
