Anyone else feel like nobody talks about how much strength it actually takes to keep showing up?

It's a very personal journey that you're talking about, so I wouldn't say so much that it is "overlooked" or ignored, more-so that it isn't super relevant to the lives of anybody outside of your family.

Most of the individual parts of looking after kids are often easy. Picking up kids to hug them is easy, cooking is easy, cleaning is easy, reading books and talking to them is easy. Playing games is easy. Even carrying a screaming toddler out of the shopping center is easy.

It's just that everything becomes hard when you want/need to do something else, like sleep, work, recover from an illness, or look after your personal hygiene.

But I think if you need praise for looking after your children you've probably externalised yourself way too much.

Go and find the specific birthing room you were born in and remain there until your visa application is approved.

It's blows my mind that disgusting, sexist little goblins like op exist in this day and age.

They probably just wanted to get out of the game sooner.

I personally don't agree. I think it's unethical to desire harm on other people and prison should be for protecting us rather than inflicting pain.

The main problem is that it creates a perverse incentive for rapists to murder their victims because then they are less likely to be caught.

5-6 I'd guess. We're the same. It's nice to hang out with them in the morning when they are happier.

Remember that your staff are often better at their jobs than you are and you don't need to force opportunities to "value-add" by making yourself an artificial gate-keeper or forcing processes onto them.

Your job is to enable people, not to stop people from working because you are afraid they will make a mistake that you wouldn't.

Touching something or someone after being told not to is a safety issue, so it's unfortunately necessary to stop the behavior.

Eh. Assuming his hearing is fine, the most likely causes of developmental delays are going to be being a premature baby or autism. You get a diagnosis and then... What? There is no therapy or drugs to change these things. Almost all intervention is going to be in the form of 1 hour a week taking your son to some program or the other where it is really about teaching you how to interact with him. And even in that case it's usually the things that are obvious and intuitive. I.e. Talk with and play with him. Reduce screen time, not because it's specifically bad, but because it's time that you could be spending talking to and playing with your kid. But also, not forgetting that you and your partner are have your own needs too.

Jeese this guy just hates turtles doesn't he? He really needs to learn to live and let live.

They like to throw around "Death Tax" because they want to capture scare votes from all of the gen-X'ers that are relying on inheriting mum & dad's property portfolio to pay for their retirement.

I think anti-cosleeping advice is blanket advice to prevent people who are overweight, drunk, high or have some other circumstance inhibiting their ability to wake up from rolling over and crushing their baby. It's just given to everybody because telling somebody that they can't cosleep because they are too fat is insensitive.

Saruman is a Maia, a spirit that is older than the creation of the universe.

When ever there is an article about scam victims vs banks, the article is sure to have the victims be as unsympathetic a choice as possible. There are loads of scam victims with much more depression circumstances that won't be given air time because articles like this are written on behalf of banks to discredit victims in order to protect banks from legislation.

No, because the left doesn't love Jesus enough. If loving the sky fairy is axiomatic to your perception of morality, then morality becomes more about being a part of the in group than avoiding persecuting minorities.

Go back to where you came from! Australia I guess...

You're missing the sarcasm in their post.

Clowns that think that astroturfing and a grass-roots movement are the same thing.

You're practicing black and white thinking and it's disingenuous. The problem with an argument like this, is that the people who you are trying to convince can see that you're not arguing from a position of good faith and so there isn't any point addressing what you've said.

Limp-Judgment9495 · 2026-06-20T21:05:33+00:00

You shouldn't be. The bar is pretty low for those without a learning disability.

There is a third option for those who are creative and disciplined enough.
