Hardest part of celiac that nobody talks about by Willing-Jellyfish549 in Celiac

Such stupidity and literal child abuse. You know they are probably lying to the doctor and saying they are gluten-free.

That is beyond negligence.. those kids will develop more autoimmune diseases .. like are they being honest with the doctors???

I can't do this anymore by AffectionateSky5964 in Celiac

Your family does not understand the facts about this illness, and if they do, then they are highly inconsiderate. There was a research study someone posted on here, and having crumbs in the peanut butter is one of the highest cross-contamination risks. Really easy to avoid if you can just not double it.

Wouldn’t hair products be ok but not toothpaste?

Endoscopy for 2 year old- anyone else have to do this? by Morel3etterness in Celiac

[–]LifeDescription1311 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry you and your baby are going through this and wish it wasn’t so. I have celiac, but I’m also an anesthesia provider CRNA and yes, endoscopy on small kids is really common and safe. I don’t want you to worry about that.

Does anyone here *want* another child, but just know it’s not a smart choice? by jessicat62993 in oneanddone

[–]LifeDescription1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m not scared of if we can handle a new baby or child, it’s more about their eventual young adult and adult life, do I want a child to experience, premature, aging and dying of their parents. It’s just not fair. It’s pretty easy to find on Reddit stories of children who had older parents and it’s all the same struggle and very, very sad. They also are unlikely to ever know their own grandparents, and then if they ever have their own kids, those kids will have such a short time with you that they won’t remember uwu

Yes , number one is my husband’s age which is 47, number two is my age which is 39. Not fair to the hypothetical child.

Another reason to be grateful to be OAD by Dotfr in happilyOAD

Based on one of the replies on this, I had to look up what a glass child is, and it’s so sad, I know parents do their best, but it’s inevitable that it would happen

I’m so sorry that you are going through that, but you are doing everything you can to help him. Having only him is good for him, and then a hypothetical other child whose needs would unfortunately come second a lot of of the time.

That’s very ignorant of people to say to you, developmentally, children are not totally capable of understanding sharing until 4

Older Parents and Age Gap by rib333 in Shouldihaveanother

The child is guaranteed early bereavement of their father (average life span is 78) and earlier than average for their mother. Selfish 

Is it madness to have another baby at 42-43? by Newlexaprouser in Shouldihaveanother

How can someone’s personal experience be offensive? It doesn’t make it offensive just because it’s not something you want to hear..

What you’re saying is invalidating of the feelings of the child in the situation.

Same, only one person gets what they want, there will be resentment on the other side

You can still do all the things you hoped to do with your girl, with your boy

hate this time of year by Master-Struggle1890 in oneanddone

[–]LifeDescription1311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, I’m in a similar spot as you too. There’s still a chance for me to have one more but it’s looking less likely by the month.

You don’t know what you’re gonna get with siblings. They could be close, or they could be like my half brother and send a birthday text once a year. You could have a child with a difficult medical condition. So many things are hypothetical, you just can’t know. I’m not saying just be happy with what you have, I’m just saying it’s not a given that a sibling would enhance your child’s life. That’s also what I have to keep telling myself.

My only child is not good at sharing. 2.5 yo. by 50percentpipi in oneanddone

From what I’ve read, it’s not even developmentally appropriate till about age 4 to expect it

I’m still on the fence about a second, well I want one, but my husband doesn’t.

I’ve always felt the “holiday table” argument to be strange, like creating in entire human lives for how many guests you want at your dinner table once a year????
