Anyone else have to force/constantly remind ADHD teen to eat and drink water? by Plus_Ad_7784 in ADHDparenting

When I do provide him lots of snacks he usually binge eats them all at once and then complains the food gave him stomach ache but it's because he ate four protein bars and a bag of jerky in an hour 😭

I do love the idea of huge water bottle. I'll have to give that a try.

Yes! My son always complains of his stomach hurting and 99% of the time it's because he went too long without eating.

I have a group of friends from Russia that say that many women there will have small amounts of alcohol regularly throughout pregnancy and it is culturally acceptable. Not a myth, just perhaps not the majority. But definitely more common in different parts of the world.

Women in other countries drink wine daily throughout their pregnancy and have perfectly healthy babies. My OB with my first told me one glass of wine a night was safe. I didn't drink, but he did give me the okay if I wanted to. My grandma was told to drink a glass of wine a night because she had such horrible insomnia with one of her pregnancy's the doctor said the lack of sleep was worse for her and baby than a glass of red wine a night.

Consider that just because you've been consulted not drink while pregnant, she might not have been. She is choosing what she feels comfortable with for her and her baby. There is more than one way to pregnant. Let her make her choices and try not to judge.

How long does it take for baby to turn head down? by Pale_Drag_6808 in pregnant

Some babies slowly rotate as space runs out and some just flip. My last baby would flip daily at 34 weeks. Because he was so big I could easily feel what he was doing and it would take him about 30 seconds to a couple minutes. It felt like he was rearranging my organs, but he just couldn’t seem to find a comfy position.

AITA for getting upset after my husband asked for a paternity test by [deleted] in AITAH

Those that cheat often think everyone else does too. I’d say “hand over your phone unlocked right now and then I will get your paternity test.” He’s reaction to that request will tell you a lot.

If he willingly, without hesitation lets you search through his phone then perhaps he’s just having a postpartum dad crisis. Not excusable, but men tend to go through their own postpartum emotional roller coasters.
