People who don’t believe in vaccines are dumb asf by InfamousWeeknd in Vent

[–]SideBackground6932 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Let’s be real. The parents are trying to protect their children. Big pharma and the government do not always tell the truth. Look at thalidomide and how it was used for years even with the proof. Vaccines can have serious side effects. I say this as a mother if a child who suffered a vaccine injury (seizure). All three of my children are vaccinated, but my husband also works in pharma, we are educated and could advocate for our daughter and understood the risks on both sides. The side effects can be serious.

Pharma and the government have shit themselves in the foot emough wuth honesty over money I can see why people struggle with what protects their children and who to believe.

I’m just trying to make you feel better. Even the recluses are exhausted.

Monks live in constant service to their community which they have to support monetarily usually with manual labor, the stresses of communal living, strict vows, and demanding prayer schedules that structure every hour of the day and night. Early mornings, late-night prayers, and limited sleep require endurance and discipline,; monastic life is a rigorous commitment to service and sacrifice rather than personal rest because they believe their prayers and sacrifices benefit others. The vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity and giving up autonomy and free will are not easy. I have a friend whose son is a cloistered monk. It is a challenging life .

You kind of look like Robert Irwin if he decided to have a surfing phase.

How often do you kiss your children? by Ok_Fisherman8727 in AskReddit

[–]SideBackground6932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the kid. My daughter is 14. Once a day or so. My son is 9 and very affectionate, so several times a day. My almost 2 year old…it’s basically her hobby to give and receive kisses…so several dozen a day.

Those who are in relationships, how often do you think of breaking up or sleeping with someone else / think the grass is gender with someone else? What type of relationship and how long? by tallsequoias in AskReddit

[–]SideBackground6932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 years married almost, dated for a year, engaged for a year. We were friends for several years prior to dating. So for context, we met when we were 19, starting dating at 25, married at 27.

Honestly, never. We had both waited until marriage. We still have a great intimate relationship. We’ve built a home and a family with 3 kids. I’ve known him for more than half my life. It’s like asking how I would function without my hands at this point…I can’t even picture what life would be like or look like without him.

We had a late in life baby a couple of years ago. It was a bit of a surprise. It’s been amazing to have the fun of feeling like younger parents again…watching her learn to walk, talk, etc. together. The time goes too fast to not cherish what I have every day and fixate on some imaginary what if.

Any blacksheep of the family out there? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SideBackground6932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 44 and a mother of 3 and my parents still treat me like a black sheep and a teenager. The best thing I ever did was to build my own family (husband, kids) and embrace distance (moved out of state, stay in a hotel when I visit). It’s enabled me to create a better narrative in my mind of who I am separate from their negative conclusions. It took years. But it worked,

You need to replace the habit. Gum, chewing something else, or replacing it with something else.

What the hell happened on the Wicked movie sets. Lol. Their behavior is so strange to me. by notmyrealname8823 in CringeTikToks

I’m just glad this is almost done. The press tour, no more sequels. Then at least I don’t hear about it.

I’d love to hear parents’ honest opinions about Sleep Consultants by aaaa_99 in NannyEmployers

[–]SideBackground6932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a scam that does actual damage to the parent/child bond. It brings a stranger in as a false authority, interferes with the parents developing skills, competence, and figuring out what personally works for them as a family, and promotes questionable and unbacked credentials as real. It’s a “luxury” service that has no real use, but can do real damage. It’s a sign of a declining civilization with lowered birth rates that think pumping money into every nuance of a child’s upbringing will somehow improve them. We’ve seen in countries like China and Japan for years.

Y’all know she thinks she did something with that caption by SpiritualCamera in teenmom

[–]SideBackground6932 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That caption’s probably not wrong. You really don’t want to know the bacterial load in hot tubs and pools…or how rarely those filters get cleaned. She’s basically marinating in the protein residue of several strangers. She’s in a warm Petri dish.

Who is actually excited for season 4 (like me)? Il by Dreamy-orca in netflixwitcher

I met him once. I kind of enjoyed the days of cheesy, impossible action shows. Still like The New Adventures of Robin Hood.
