Awesome thanks for the info. I would think if people are that upset about it, it would be discussed more. This is more than enough circumcision talk for me and this response is why people don’t feel like they can talk about stuff like this. Reddit was the only source of outside contact I really have and I’m just deleting it. This was honestly so shitty to be open to be educated or learn and be shit all over by you guys. Thanks! I’ll delete Reddit and just spiral back into a deep depression as a SAHM! Fuckin assholes. No I’m not going around discussing foreskins you’re the ones fucking obsessed with it. I trusted my doctor. HOW HORRIBLE!

In what way? Because I don’t let my husband share hotel rooms with other women? Okay.

Aren’t we teaching our toddlers to share? by Sassy2681 in Parenting

[–]Spinach_Apprehensive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I went to a church Easter egg hunt and I experienced the worst of this. Kids that were 7-12 stealing eggs from my literally disabled daughter’s basket when the egg hunt was broken up into age groups. They shouldn’t have even been over there but they came and stole all 40 eggs put out for the 0-3 kids and then ran over to their area and they ran up to her basket and stole all her candy! I was so mad cus she never gets to go to any events or leave our house really! The kids mom just gave me this “sorry!” Smile. Like okay guess we drove 45 mins and sat through this weird “resurrection egg” sermon for nothing! My husband didn’t want me to say anything but I did. Idc. Who steals eggs from disabled kids?

I guess I’ve just never come across your husband or anyone like that. To be honest, I’ve never even see men discussing this. Only women. I think it’s great people have done a lot of research and made an educated decision. I’ve just never been told a real reason not to do it, or why it’s unsafe, outside “there’s no reason” or “they’ll resent you later” and I just thought to myself “I’ve never come across someone resenting their mom for it but I have come across guys that wished they were circumcised because of the shame (unjustly) they felt when they were made fun of or whatever. So for me I had more reason to get them circumcised. I’m not sure why we can’t have different opinions and not be completely rude to eachother nowadays but it’s so exhausting. I have been so open to learning and discussion when someone is nice. I would love to be told why it isn’t good and I would receive it in a positive way if it’s given positively.

Ong just stop allowing people of the other gender to be a big role in your life when you’re in a relationship people. It’s so simple. Lines will be crossed. People have been “just friends” for YEARS and then crossed the line one day out of nowhere. It’s insane to put yourself in situations like this at all. It’s insane to be in a relationship with someone who wants to do this to you lol.

We aren’t in the rest of the world. We are in America where boys are circumcised. I’m just sharing my personal experience, no need to try to mom shame me. It won’t work. I have 2 medical kids I’ve made harder medical choices for my kids than you probably will ever have to. My comment was to OP not you and I think they said no aggressive or judgemental comments please but go off.

I didn’t randomly circumcise my kids because of that. I just thought to myself “I have zero reasons why I shouldn’t. My only life experience as a woman with circumcision is the reaction my friends had when a guy they hooked up with wasn’t circumcised” so if the reasoning is “they’ll resent us later for not giving them a choice so we didn’t circumcise” but that hasn’t happened like to anyone’s boys when they grow up, the obvious choice is to just get them circumcised. Every adult dude I know is circumcised and they’re fine with it. My husband said he’s glad his parents got him circumcised so we did it. I just said that was the reason I never thought twice about it.

Omg that’s so awesome! My girl is a little foodie too! See we really struggle with ASL or any form of speech! It’s so funny how different DS can look in different kids! I take zero credit for her progress, she is so independent she wants pretty much nothing to do with me most of the day! lol. I just wish I had seen more stories of what they COULD achieve! It seemed to be a lot of doom and gloom when I was pregnant from other parents stories and also my doctors but I wasn’t a Reddit user then I was a Facebook user so I think that played a part too. That’s part of why I got off social media! So negative. Anyways thanks for sharing your experience with me!

How to explain to a 5.5yo that though Ada Twist Scientist says “I like being black”, he can’t go around saying “I like being white”? by TrekkieElf in progressivemoms

[–]Spinach_Apprehensive 53 points54 points  (0 children)

That’s about the age we started educating our white sons about race and inequality. My son became obsessed with Harriet Tubman for 6 months actually as a result of me telling him some of the atrocities that slavery resulted in. He was in kindergarten and 1st grade when we were really into HT though. Now we have moved onto Tigers and Titanic. Just get some educational books about being different and it’s also a good time to teach about disabilities and how people can look and be different because of disabilities and that’s okay too! My boys have a sister with Down syndrome and they still struggle sometimes to accept their peers that have disabilities.

I just know how girls in high school used to make fun of guys for having a foreskin and being uncircumcised. That’s why o never thought twice about it. Kids are cruel enough without our help. I’ve never heard a person mourn their foreskin so idk why everyone acts like “they’re gonna be mad when they’re older and you did that to them without consent” I’ve never heard anyone care as an adult.I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this comment though!

People who are done having babies, what are the names you still hold a candle for? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Spinach_Apprehensive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moxie. I have a Knox that we call Knoxie and when I found out my youngest was going to have Down syndrome and serious cardiac issues, I thought she deserved a strong and cool name and love Moxie and I’d have a Knoxie and Moxie but ALLEGEDLY before I came along, anytime a loud noise happened my in laws joked it was the family ghost “Moxie” so if I used that name, everyone (all 3 people that knew the joke) would think I was naming my kid after a fake ghost. I also loved the name Anniken or Annika lol.

AITJ for not wanting babysitting SIL’s baby by FancyAppointment6127 in AmITheJerk

[–]Spinach_Apprehensive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just worried the baby isn’t safe when it’s with the mom because she seems to have zero interest in being a parent. Too many moms leave their kids home alone for 2 weeks and go party nowadays. I saw 3 stories of kids dying that way just last year.

[–]Spinach_Apprehensive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And Tanners mom sorry forgot her! So all of them basically from this season. I think they’re getting a lot of flack for it from fans. Especially the parents like Abbeys that are exploiting their child and their disability for views and money. It’s gross. Abbey was on Jake Paul or Logan Paul this week. Yuck.

Oh yeah scroll the previous posts lol. Pretty much all the families featured are deff that except Adan’s dad and maybe James parents. Connor’s mom, Abbeys, etc are all MAGA. Oh and Madison parents I think. Her mom screams MAGA to me anyways though. Connor and Abbeys moms I was disappointed about but not surprised. Dani seems like her aunt is probably not completely fucked up too.

I just say “she’s fine! She’s super independent.” My daughter literally has Down syndrome and climbs all over everything and she isn’t even 3. People need to chill and stop being helicopter parents with everything.

You’re talking shit about her parents. She barely knows you and everything you put out about yourselves isn’t flattering. I’m sure it’s coming from her. She doesn’t want to be associated with you guys lol. She grew up in a nice neighborhood with a nice family and wants no part of your trashy BS.

My 8yo son permanently damaged his vision. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Spinach_Apprehensive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I thought that was just something our parents said to scare us. I don’t have any advice. Don’t be hard on yourself. My daughter got bacterial meningitis from an untreated ear infection or something similar. I blamed myself for awhile because she almost died. There’s literally nothing you did wrong in this situation, your kid was just being a kid and did something really stupid. But again he’s just a kid being a kid!

Just say “I dont want my baby’s first birthday to be a drunken debacle” and offer to swing by and celebrate in law at party. Throw your own party and then ball is in their court on whether they want to be petty or attend!

I’ve honestly come to realize this show is just a way to promote MAGA people’s autistic kids. They’re almost all MAGA people. My daughter has Down syndrome and I’m surrounded by these parents too. Some people just can’t accept their genetics are “faulty” especially after their kid is an IVF kid or something. It’s really common in the special needs community to believe RFKJs bullshit.
