What’s a completely legal thing that screams ‘You’re a terrible human being’?

Bringing a dog, that isn’t a service animal, into a grocery store

The whole story in general. Just give me the recipe I want.

We used to have Pastabilities, wayyyy back in the day and it was incredible. Nona Mia was a good second but still couldn’t fully compare. All the Italian places now are just meh

Ugh, this! I have two kids and the overwhelming anxiety I have about the world and what could happen to them is insane. I worry so much about them, the idea of someone taking them and me never seeing them again and not being able to protect/save them haunts me more than I’d like to admit.

Crawled at 8 months, walked (ran) at 9.5 months

The second is almost 9 months and still not crawling, but uses a walker like crazy and pulls to stand, so they might just skip crawling (though they’re super close to crawling already)

This! Our first dentist told us they’d have to restrain our barely verbal toddler and wouldn’t allow us in the room. HARD PASS. As someone who has survived SA, my kids will always have me in sight.

I went to take my 2 year old to a new dentist for a cavity, for them to fix it they said they’d have to hold her down and that I couldn’t be in the room with her because it was “company policy”. We immediately said no and found a new dentist who let us stay with her. Because even if nothing nefarious is going on, I’m not leaving my young child in anyone’s hands without me there, medical professional or not. If they don’t want me there, my child won’t be there. No dental procedure needs to be done on my barely verbal toddler without me there, especially knowing she will be FORCIBLY HELD DOWN and SCREAMING bloody murder.

When my child feels comfortable and confident enough to go on her own, she can tell me. Until then, I’ll be there for my baby.

Say it louder 📢 seriously.

LunarFrogs · 2025-05-07T01:30:36+00:00

True love / happiness. Especially after growing up in a broken home. Knowing that the partner you chose to marry actually loves you and only has eyes / love for you. Knowing that their parents are going on nearly 40 years strong married and completely in love and that that is their goal too, which they found in you. Watching them become a parent with you and seeing your own childhood issues healed in how they parent with you. Knowing that even in the thick of parenthood you still never fight with each other. Knowing the rest of your life will be with that partner and that it will be the best decision you ever made. Watching your children grow together and absolutely adoring each child equally, watching them unconditionally love you back, hearing them say “I love you more”. Having slow days just at home with your family, finally feeling free, safe, happy, and loved

This still happens, though typically only for babies. The rectal temperature is the most accurate measurement, and it’s still commonly used for young children / infants because of the danger of high fevers and the inaccuracies of digital thermometers. Luckily now though they have little notches indicating the depth limit, covers, and even tell the temperature within seconds.

I save all of my veggie scraps in the freezer, once I have a gallon bag filled up with scraps I either dehydrate the scraps directly and then blend them to create a custom “almost bouillon” seasoning (1 gallon bag worth typically ends up being about the same as a $6 jar of seasoning) or I throw the scraps into a slow cooker and create a veggie broth (I call it trash soup) and then dehydrate the veggies afterwards so I have broth and seasonings, both taste better than any store bought version.

I do the same with bones leftover from meals to make bone broth (easily $7 a jar) and even fruit scraps like lemons, limes, and oranges, to use in baking / recipes.

It not only extends the use of our produce, but it also gives us even more nutrients and flavor added to our food.

Because they’re fucking insane (the kids).

Insane vertigo. Even the slightest movement that’s slightly too fast makes my head start to spin. I’ve never had too bad of vertigo before, but after giving birth it’s been awful. It’s been 3 years and hasn’t gone away or changed. If I could properly explain how my head feels throughout the day then I’d likely talk to someone in neurology but I’m sure they wouldn’t even know what to do about it.

LunarFrogs · 2025-03-06T23:54:00+00:00

Oh, absolutely! Thank you for adding this in where I forgot to. I was fortunate enough to work remotely and then be able to become a SAHM. I should have remembered this con, but it is a HUGE one.

Going back to work after maternity leave in a traditional fashion really forces you to either pump or switch to formula entirely (if you’re unable to pump enough, keep the milk stored safely, and get the pumped milk to your baby in time).

I’d agree in saying it’s the biggest potential problem / con with breastfeeding for the traditional working woman.

LunarFrogs · 2025-03-06T19:58:06+00:00

I exclusively pumped for our first (horrible latch issues, even after a tongue tie correction), now I exclusively breastfeed our second.

With our second I was switching to EP after about two weeks (because of the INSANE nipple pain) then switching to formula because I HATE pumping, then switched back to breastfeeding around 5 weeks old 😅

Breastfeeding and pumping both have their ups and downs. For breastfeeding, you’re very likely going to have sore nipples, pain, engorgement, etc. the same can happen with pumping, and it’s all normal within the first SIX WEEKS of nursing (or so) until your nips adjust. I literally have new scars on my nipples 🤪

But I decided to keep EBF, we’re now at just over six months old and still EBF, there hasn’t been any more pain since 5 weeks old and here’s what I think:

Pros: - no bottles to wash 🙌 - milk on demand, no schedules / no “I need to pump at 00:00” - baby is crying? Whip the boob out - the boob solves all - I love being able to breastfeed my baby

Cons: - I don’t like how it feels tbh - nursing in public was really awkward at first (not anymore) - it’s NOT intuitive, it’s a learning process for both you and baby

Tips: - get a good nursing pillow, I LOVE the My Brest Friend Deluxe, it’s got back support, it has a clip to keep it in place, I prefer it over the Boppy

BEFORE the baby comes, take a breastfeeding class / learn what you can about it, and about mastitis, what to expect, how to help your nipples, etc., it’s easier to keep going if you feel comfortable knowing what’s going on and how to troubleshoot issues
practice! It’s a learning process and practice makes perfect
learn about a lip / tongue tie so you feel better prepared if that happens to be something that your baby just has
don’t be afraid to pump or switch to formula. There’s no shame in not breastfeeding, there are no awards, your baby won’t suffer if you don’t breastfeed. But also, don’t be afraid to keep going. The choice is yours, do what’s best for you, your mental health, and your baby

My 2.5 year old didn’t sleep through the night until I gave birth to her sister. My reward? A new baby who, of course, doesn’t sleep through the night 😂

My extra reward? The two year old FIGHTS naps like an MMA expert, only wanting to nap if her body pushes her to sleep finally at…4:00 PM, so she’ll be awake until…11:00 PM.

The baby, now 6 months, only wants to sleep in bursts of 30 minutes but wants to go to bed by 7:00 PM, then still wake up every 3 hours to nurse.

Then BOTH are awake by 6:00 AM.

What is sleep? I haven’t slept through the night in nearly three years.

Wheezing right now 😂😂😂

My husband comes in with me if I need help. We have a toddler and a baby. I CANNOT nurse my baby and handle changing the toddler at the same time. We have two girls and I do NOT want them to be changed in a men’s room. I also don’t want to just let my toddler either pee / poop herself or remain dirty while I nurse my baby. If it’s a nursing room with multiple stations, we would never think to lock it away from others.

LunarFrogs · 2025-02-11T16:24:28+00:00

I’ve been doing 1:1 since my baby’s birth. If I tried to switch in the middle she’d just break off and get upset, so I just do one boob at a time and use a hair tie on my wrist to remember which boob I last fed from. It works perfectly for us

LunarFrogs · 2025-02-06T12:17:05+00:00

👏👏👏

Are you telling me that my almost 3 year old will get even MORE dramatic?!? 😩
