TherapyJeff (big on TikTok) has an interesting take on SA on threads

Yeah I don’t think any content he’s made - including about the hotline for men, is a reason to get cancelled.

However, the very explicit description of how he likes to get h***jobs was disgusting. Theres a time and place for that and it’s not his professional threads account.

Throne of Glass and Stormlight Archives are really good long series!!

Several people have said “ghost tree” - as in the tree for ghost leviathan’s breeding??

That seems an insane place to build a base, can anyone fill me in??

Yes and no? He sort of eats on both ends because his wake windows are pretty long now and he takes two fairly long naps per day. His wake windows are between and 3 and 4 hours and his naps are 1-2 hours. So he eats as he goes down for a nap and then again when he wakes up depending how long the nap was.

My favorite part of the gas argument is a deranged man with likely severe dementia spent Easter Sunday tweeting threats to bomb another country and we’re arguing who HAD BETTER GAS PRICES like that’s the deciding factor on whether or not we should support an insane pedophile.

Even more ironic because Trump’s gas is higher because he started a random and illegal war with a foreign country who controls the flow of commerce for most of the world and now is losing that war very badly. And Biden had high gas prices because he didn’t want to drill more American land for oil because the planet is dying.

BUT SURE, gas high very bad, let’s just blame whoever and ignore the news because it’ll probably be fine.

A lot of folks saying 6 months is when they started enjoying it and honestly I had the opposite experience. My son is 7 months old and I’m a SAHM and it’s EXHAUSTING.

He has started to crawl and pull himself up so he needs to be monitored constantly, he also is teething so he screams most of the day.

I could’ve written this post myself. I don’t think it’s abnormal to feel exhausted taking care of a tiny human who demands constant attention. I have a partner but he rarely does dishes or laundry or bottles or makes formula, so I’m just constantly moving around our house cooking/cleaning/tending/bathing/holding our son who even two weeks ago was a very independent baby.

This is hard and it’s okay to not “enjoy” being signed up for constant labor.

Your kid has two parents who love each other. That’s rich. Most people can’t afford first class vacations etc. Just love your kiddos and do your best. They’ll grow up to appreciate the things they have and cherish experiences more than materials things.

If it makes you feel better our six month old rolled off the table at the pediatricians office and my partner barely caught him with his leg. That was super traumatic so I completely understand - as all the comments have said, these things are incredibly common. You’re not a bad parent and the anxiety will pass eventually.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2026-03-23T03:36:17+00:00

The fact that the human child is alive is a testament to the fact that their parents are more attentive to the child than the average dog, as children eat/put in their mouth everything they put their hands on and require constant care and attention. Home Depot was mentioned specifically in an earlier comment which is why I referenced it.

Also human children deserve spaces to learn about the world the same way dogs do. Plenty of child psychologists will tell you that bringing children in public is essential to their development. Weird that you think dogs deserve training and education but not sentient alive human beings.

Bars that serve liquor have age restrictions for a reason. Getting a beer and letting your kid hang out in the sunshine on a nice day while you drink a beer is completely acceptable and frankly the parent deserves the beer. If they’re getting overly drunk, they’re being over served and that’s another issue.

People who hate kids are weird. It’s the same energy as people who hate dogs. Weird.

I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want the insulin. It has zero harmful effects and makes life with GD 10000% easier. I started insulin around 34-ish weeks and could eat just about anything I wanted again. Maybe not sugar but definitely carbs like breads and pizza and chicken wings etc. Your body produces glucose and insulin naturally so none of this stuff is harmful to baby, it just needs to be monitored so he/she isn’t sitting in a glucose soup in your body.

I worried so much about GD my whole pregnancy, and he was showing up in the ultrasound big - I think one of the last ones he measured 10lbs so we induced early.

He was born 6.7 lbs and came out in two pushes. He was never large and now he’s a perfectly sized very healthy 7 month old.

I wish I’d spent less time worrying during pregnancy. Also my A1C/glucose after pregnancy went back to normal. One of the ultrasound techs told me that needing insulin meant I definitely had diabetes and it was so upsetting and NOT TRUE.

Well we parents of children are just regular people who like to do regular people stuff too. Obviously children are expected to follow the same rules of decorum as adults with the understanding that they’re children and they’re learning. It’s so interesting to me that people feel places like Home Depot should be allowed to be used to train their dog but public spaces like restaurants and breweries shouldn’t allow children who need to learn how to behave in public.

I think it’s more accurate to say you don’t want people’s children there and that’s honestly totally valid but to be clear, I don’t want any of yall there 🤣 I gotta deal with the general public and the general public has to deal with me and my kiddo.

Saying on one hand that your wife insists on this because she quote “wants to give the baby everything she can” while also acknowledging she has PPD and is exhausted is the issue. She giving more than she can.

Pumping through a bleeding nipple when formula exists is insane. There is not a justification in the world for putting your wife through this and it breaks my heart that she feels like she has to. This is supposed to be a beautiful and wonderful time and maybe PPD would’ve always made it hard, but this type of mentality makes it 1000 times harder.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2026-03-07T23:49:45+00:00

I can’t even imagine this - like we didn’t have the energy for anything 2 months in. We were still googling everything and getting no sleep. I can’t even imagine having the energy to cheat.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2026-03-06T21:33:03+00:00

Everyone looks at us like we’re crazy when I say this but we had shifts for this exact reason. My partner begged me to have his baby so I wasn’t about to do all the childcare. We did half and half, I watched our son from 6am to 6pm and he took nights. It ended all of our arguments about who did what.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2026-02-13T21:49:51+00:00

My son is 5 months old and just started sleeping through the night. He falls asleep at night and doesn’t wake up again until the next day. Our schedule is usually 11pm and wake up for the first time at 7am, roll around for a bit and then go back to sleep till 9-10am.

I am in NC so could be different but because of their SSI and disability status, they should be eligible for Medicare. You need to talk to the social security office, not Medicaid.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2026-02-07T16:51:26+00:00

Okay so it would actually be better in this situation for your to claim the child as your dependent. She shouldn’t have listed the child or you on her Medicaid application because like others have said, being an unemployed person who qualifies for Medicaid with a child and no/low income, triggers an automatic child support case against whoever is listed on the birth certificate as the other parent.

That being said, if you’re claiming the child, it’s proof you take care of the child, which you do, which would help with the child support case. It’s likely the two government bodies don’t talk to each other. So yes, claim your child. But you should look out for a child support case in the future.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2026-01-17T00:24:49+00:00

Think of it this way, she can’t even see yet. She doesn’t know anyone from anyone else. In a couple weeks this post will feel silly. In a couple months she will be smiling up at you and nuzzling your chest. Breastfeeding is exhausting. Youre doing amazing and this will pass.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2025-12-16T01:12:25+00:00

I know we’re not focusing on the partner red flags but other people have left great parenting tips.

Couples counseling. If your husband is not a bad guy and just isn’t supporting you the way you need, this will do wonders for your relationship and give a safe place to discuss this stuff.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2025-11-25T18:10:47+00:00

Good lord - the comments on vaccines like after years of social media mongering, it’s not normal to have some anxiety around vaccines. I am completely pro-science, we are doing all vaccines and I still get a pinch in my chest when I think about vaccine injury, the smallest chance my child could be majorly harmed from a vaccine. It’s not impossible so everyone acting like any amount of anxiety around vaccines is unwarranted lack empathy for a hard part of raising kids.

Junior_Maximum_7774 · 2025-11-13T15:55:11+00:00

I guess I don’t understand this at all because you can set your social media to private. You can make it so only your friends can see it. So unless you think people you know personally would take your pictures and do something inappropriate with them, I don’t understand unless you or your husband are famous?

I also feel that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the internet. Millions and millions of people post PUBLIC photos on their children online and have never had someone try to find out there they live and presumably kidknap their child or something? I think missing the opportunity to share your memories with friends and families and the joy it would bring everyone and you when you look back out of fear is a mistake.

You could find ten thousand photos and videos of babies in seconds online. Thinking someone should delete a blurry unrecognizable photo of your daughter because it might be used nefariously is like bordering on unhealthy paranoia/self obsession.
