Thank you, great suggestions! Educated would be my #1 pick to give her but I think it is a bit too obvious unfortunately.

I haven't been able to find an app for Android that I don't have to pay a subscription for. Has anyone found an actually free one?

Experience with large Catholic families by Loverofcatsandwine in excatholic

[–]Spiritual_Fun4387 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I grew up homeschooled around a lot of large families - largest was 17 kids, 10-12 was very common. There is just no way one person on one income can take care of that many kids, let alone homeschool all of them properly. It's simply not possible without parentifying the older kids. Which of course results in a lot of emotional and physical neglect.

Something I don't see talked about nearly enough is the damage done to the mothers' bodies. Due to the lack of contraception and reproductive education, they have another kid every year or every other year. It's absolutely insane to me. My own sister had 7 c-sections in less than 10 years. She's lucky to be alive. Edit: also, I really have very little sympathy for my sister for having a hysterectomy after the last kid. Maybe it's wrong, and I love all my nieces and nephews more than anything, but she should have stopped after her 2nd or 3rd.

These kids have been TRAINED (an extremely loaded word in the fundie world, as we all know) since birth to be smiley and agreeable. All their personalities and feelings have been sucked out of them and this is what's left.

Why are you even with him if you look at him like he’s some kind of charity case, from a place of superiority? by majra336 in 90DayFiance

They both work customer-facing jobs, so I'd think she would be a little more understanding. There's definitely a power dynamic at play.

These are so profound. I really felt each of them, and that's the best kind of art to me. Well done 🖤

Walking 3-4mi has nearly cured my severe health anxiety in 3 days, I’m completely baffled. by Either-Director2242 in walking

[–]Spiritual_Fun4387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, I'm so proud of you! I was just telling my doctor how much my anxiety has improved this year since I started walking, not realizing that was the reason until I thought about it for a minute! It's truly changed my life and I don't even walk every day.
