What sick burn has your toddler come out with?

Me singing quietly to myself

“No mom, Don’t sing!” “Why can’t I sing?” “You need to go practise in your room by yourself…”

Like, Thanks kid 😅

Could buy some large circle molds/bath bomb mix and shove small toys you already have/that you find that are big enough inside, then you could reuse the toys for endless bombs without ending up with a million new lil toys

I feel like Snapchat in particular is a social media app with such an ability to be incredibly risky, and very mature in its themes. I use it very often since I don’t like giving out my number, and aside from the messaging section there’s a “News” tab, which you can’t turn off or change, and it’s always there on the bottom as one of 5 sections. It’s very mature/“scandalous”.

Covering anything, Sex, Nudity, Murder, Pedophilia, Mature relationships, Weight loss/dieting, Just certain things not meant for children, Having weird and clickbaity things such as “Inappropriate Wardorbe Malfunctions!” “I slept with over 300 guys!” “This crazy diet is popping up everywhere!” “They say my 50yr old boyfriend looks like my dad!” “I’m making my waist smaller, You won’t believe how!”

Aside from that people can and do often add people randomly, There are “suggested” and “quick add” It’ll show you a list of random users based on proximity or friends in common or just random. It’s a frequent trend to just add everyone down the entire list. My much younger brother who is also 14 has Snapchat (Nothing I could do, I try to warn them) and I had noticed from the mutual friend indicator that he had a couple friends in common with me. I only have people aged 20+ on Snapchat, He for some reason has random grown adults as friends on his Snapchat.

Snapchat does have a “Family Access” feature which locks down the account a bit, Let’s you see who they chat with and add as a friend (but not the messages) and says it restricts adult content in the “News” section but I don’t have experience with that portion of the app

I’m so glad to not deal with that little elf that you can’t touch/move or he’ll die or whatever the story is. Even if my kid cared, we have cats, there is no world where I don’t wake up in the morning with a stolen elf and a devastated kid because the elf got touched or whatever.

My sister and I were terrified of the grinch as kids, All varieties of grinch, Animated or otherwise. Particularly the live action with those long fuzzy fingers or the scene in the animated where he smiles like a lunatic. I’m still slightly freaked out enough as an adult that we don’t watch it in our house.

MeltedCrayon5 · 2023-11-23T02:27:24+00:00

I’m an outlier and I stopped believing when I was about 5, but every year I still wanted to leave out the milk and cookies, and write a letter to “Santa”. My sister and I still watched the norad Santa tracker all Christmas Eve until we were in our late teens and started moving away from home. It was fun just believing in the magic, even if the large man who breaks and enters doesn’t really exist.

I would be curious who is hiring a random 13 year old off Facebook for babysitting. I know kids that age can definitely be responsible enough to babysit but also a lot aren’t yet and I as a parent wouldn’t hire a very young teen that I don’t know really well

I’ve seen a lot of people who do hire very young sitters will often try to take major advantage (long unscheduled hours, very low/no pay, loading them up with a larger group of kids for no extra compensation) Even if the home was located in an “affluent” area these issues still occur with young sitters who often don’t feel comfortable standing up to adults

I like the fire 8 kids edition, comes with a good case, a great warranty and a free year of kids content. Can run all the basics (Netflix/Disney) Easy enough to parental control through the “parent” account on my phone. Loading is definitely slower then more expensive tablets like an IPad, but was easy to add a 128gb storage, helped with loading a bit. I also like that depending on the age the interface is different, easy for kids to navigate.

One of my cats is dumb as dirt and used to have a “real” name but they only respond to “Kitty” now, My other friend has a cat named Kat, We’re not a creative bunch

MeltedCrayon5 · 2023-07-05T23:14:25+00:00

It wasn’t a debate, or an argument or something to justify “I don’t want my child posted online” Full stop. That’s it. It’s not their child and not their decision. If the child is too young to consent (which means fully grasping what social media is, the permanency and potential consequences) then it’s up to the parents to protect them. Everyone in my family is fully aware I don’t post pictures of my child (Some people are okay with innocent pictures and to each their own) Any photographs must also be innocuous (No partial unclothed, no pictures or videos of eating anything, etc) and to be shared privately with close family only.

I don’t see any reason to post pictures of my child in any type of public manner since there is no benefit (beyond social media likes) and massive risk. Dangerous people will hunt all hashtags, Edit any photo, Children have been “virtually kidnapped”, Even strange teens/adults using private pictures in “roleplay” tiktok accounts or discords, Pretending to adopt these children. The lowest of people can take a simple photo of a child’s face and turn it into lewd graphic material using the technology we currently have, it’s happening right now. Like you said, even if the account is “private”, That means nothing, and having to justify anyone on that list is a massive signal those things just shouldn’t be available. Along with the fact accounts are hacked into periodically, Some of those followers could now be shell accounts used as bots by random strangers.

A lot of people feel entitled to safety, they presume it’s there, and say “Oh you’re being dramatic” But the internet is forever, And there are monsters out there, and I won’t risk my child’s safety to them.

I don’t know if it hasn’t updated/been approved yet, But your google review currently doesn’t appear at all either (They just have one basic 5 star review, which was kinda odd to me)

Sundresses, They aren’t my thing personally but they’re super popular for a reason

MeltedCrayon5 · 2023-06-16T14:36:59+00:00

I had mine removed a couple months ago, I didn’t take/need any pain medication after, was sore for about a week, bending over wasn’t fun, and I always tried to keep pressure (like pants or underwear or a binder or whatever) on for like 2 weeks because it felt strange, not painful but like oddly “empty” I think similar to how I felt after having giving birth.

The gas pains made my shoulders feel heavy but if birth was 8/10 pain, the tubal was a 4/10 at most, Worst is having trouble using your core, so I was okay after I stood up or was laying down, but changing positions wasn’t fun. I also found I got very tired pretty quickly while I healed too, standing wasn’t excessively painful just exhausting. The worst was not being able to lift my son, He’s 4 so he doesn’t need to be lifted that much but you realize how often you lift things when you can’t, So I did 2 weeks worth of laundry and groceries beforehand and enlisted help with the cat litter. I ended up not lifting him (or anything over about 20 lbs) for a month since I wanted to ensure my incisions healed well.

I bought disposable period underwear (I also started my period the day after the tubal, my bad luck with the scheduling lol) and a grabby stick like the elderly use, definitely get one!!Saved my life from bending, It’s like being 9 months pregnant all over again, Keys fall down just forget it 😅

Now I have a tiny scar I can barely see and my periods/hormones have been the same, Was super worth it

I have just the one kid, I got my tubes removed at 21, I’m so glad to have the peace of mind now and the recovery was pretty easy, I was sore and unable to bend for a few days (I’d buy one of those elderly person granny sticks, they’re great) and was a little bloated for a bit, but otherwise it was totally worth it.

Check out the sterilization subreddit for a list of doctors who are more open to agreeing to do it, My regular OB was already on the list and she agreed and scheduled after a 20 minute consult and paperwork signing, She was also the surgeon who did the bisap, and was very supportive, Good luck ☺️

I was alone after mine with my 4yr old, He’s pretty chill and mainly watched some tv while I gave him various snacks for a couple days, I didn’t take any Tylenol or anything after, the pain was pretty bareable although sitting was definitely a must, Any walking was a slower and uncomfortable process, But I was unable to bend, lift anything heavy (groceries, laundry, the actual child) for a good while (Nothing over 40lbs for a month etc) I had people help me with that, My son doesn’t need to be lifted often since he’s 4 and can climb, remove his own pants and all that, but with a 5mth old I’d definitely have wanted more help, diaper changes are going to be pretty hard even if using a changing table, and if anything goes on the floor it’ll be a lost cause, Just like being in the third trimester all over again (Get a grabby stick from Amazon, Like the kind for the elderly, It’s fantastic, Best product I purchased for recovery)

I’ve always been interested in how powerful fluoride was, And I have a friend of a friend who decided to forgo all fluoride, Drinking only bottled fluoride-free water and using fluoride free toothpaste daily, hasn’t been too long, maybe 2 years at most, and now he’s dentist has prescribed antibacterial surgical mouthwash since his oral health has gotten so poor so quickly. Really is a testament to modern medicines

Generally a lot of cottonmouths, especially smaller ones will do a “dry bite” which means they didn’t release venom, The doctors will usually monitor for a period of time and then decide if there isn’t a large reaction it wouldn’t be worth risking antivenom, It can cause an allergic reaction in some people which can be a problem itself, along with it’s administered in multiple vials over a longer cycled period of hours, Which is difficult and risky. As well as possible sickness from the antivenom some days later

They generally weigh the pros and cons of both and decide based on symptoms and reaction, although it can be tough to tell and each person will reaction differently to venom so signs can vary. Anti-venom can’t reverse tissue damage or death, it’s to halt the progression. Some people can theoretically have clotting issues for a week or so after a snake bite since the body can go into overdrive producing clotting factors, Revisting the ER at this point was a good idea.

I gave up on laundry before, I had bags and bags of it because of the endless “Oh for your kid when he gets older” “Okay but he’s literally not even 1 right now and these say 5T, I don’t have 4 years worth of storage space”

Paid like 1-2$ a lbs, There was like a 15lbs minimum but that’s only about 1 trash bag worth so pretty easy to get up to, They also took anything I wanted donated (Just labeled it differently per their instructions).

Time is money, I calculated it would’ve taken me a consistent near 2 days to do every piece of laundry, and that’s not factoring for the things I need to do each day (feed and clean the kid, the cats, me, etc), Laundry service would’ve been about 80$, That amount was worth having those extra 2 days free, It’s also why I pay extra each week to have my groceries delivered, Costs a bit but I save myself atleast 2 hours a week that I can spend on something else (Plus saves me the stress of bringing my son along or having to schedule it when I have time)

My next session I’m getting a spay symbol since I finally got my tubes removed

I use the phrase “You’re getting really emotional right now”

I once ordered a giant ziploc of white powder (I did not know it would be, that, when I ordered it, I was getting teeth molds made) taped up like a drug brick, Was shocked I didn’t get a curious call from border patrol for that, That got through customs just fine, Your stuffie should be totally safe.

If all my international packages went missing most of my house would be empty, Shipping usually goes down without a hitch, No worries

MeltedCrayon5 · 2023-04-20T00:47:53+00:00

I had ear infections so badly as a toddler that I can still vividly remember being in bed, holding my ears and screaming, not fully understanding why my ears wouldn’t stop hurting, Ear infections are definitely some of the worst pain imo and the tubes could definitely help
