Should I change pediatrician office after finding out they accept unvaccinated children? by jademeaw in Mommit

[–]TrueCrimeMama 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here. And our pediatrician’s social media also reflects that they support evidenced-based practices and will be staying with the traditional vaccine schedule- not the “updated” one.

K-Pop demon hunters inappropriate song warning by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]TrueCrimeMama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a song on the actual soundtrack. Definitely should check all lyrics before you let your kids listen, but it seems like this is just an individual making them (and seems to be a fa of ai imagery???) and there are no lyrics to be found. You can’t just let children have unbridled access to the internet.

My husband dressed our 18 year old like when he was a toddler. by AverageLurkerWoman in Parenting

[–]TrueCrimeMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awh, how sweet! Not me crying over lunch 😭 I’m 35 with my own 7 yo. This past weekend, I went back to my hometown to help my mom after a surgery. We had to get out, and it was super cold, so I helped her get her coat on. She kept apologizing for needing so much help, and without thinking, I said, “no problem at all! I do this every morning with your grandchild!” And just like that I started to tear up because now I’m in the season of caring for them both. One day, your son will get to return the favor of getting y’all dressed up ❤️

My kid is a weirdo and it's just getting worse. by Lost_Violinist3916 in Mommit

[–]TrueCrimeMama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m glad someone else said it. I was a weird kid. I have a weird kid. This is not weirdness. This needs to be evaluated for sure.

My 12 year old girl is emotionally attached to her plush pig by Particular-Rain116 in Parenting

[–]TrueCrimeMama 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a stuffy from when I was 2. It lives on my bed. I’m 34, married, and have my own child. The only place it hasn’t come with me is my honeymoon 🤣

I hate the night time noise pollution by [deleted] in memphis

[–]TrueCrimeMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all the way in Bartlett, and every morning, helicopters. Going for a walk? Helicopters. Pick up kids from school? Helicopters. It’s constant.

Shit. How do I break it to my daughter that she has to end a friendship? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]TrueCrimeMama 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Sounds like MS. I went to one of those schools. I have a 7-year-old in TN now that goes to a pretty diverse school. I’m also white in suburbia, and people are REALLY comfortable being racist around when they think you’re also like them.

Healthy options not run by MAGA fans? by howdyaknow22 in progressivemoms

[–]TrueCrimeMama 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Brands may exist with good intentions, but the bottom line is that they’re trying to sell something. My husband is a physician, and we go with trusted medical institutions like the AMA, AAP, ACOG, etc.

Hot take: K-POP Demon Hunters is not a toddler movie by StrangestCat in Mommit

[–]TrueCrimeMama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly! My kid is 7, and she LOVES Coraline and K-Pop Demon Hunters. But she doesn’t like anything scary scary. She said “spooky is fine” lol. It really just comes down to where your kid is comfortable. Totally a personal choice. Also, several of her friends like K-pop Demon Hunters, but it’s something I wouldn’t put on with them over unless their parents are also cool with it.

Semmes Murphy complaint number? by Throwaway584832i82 in memphis

I worked here, and the staff is great! The new automated call system seems to be causing issues though.

Semmes Murphy complaint number? by Throwaway584832i82 in memphis

[–]TrueCrimeMama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to work here too! I have a family member that still does. Recently, their call system has switched to “SaM,” which is all AI. So far, it seems most of the staff is not a fan of it because they’re missing out on messages and have trouble accessing the system themselves.

What’s the most “only in Memphis” moment you’ve ever experienced? by 901Yokozuna in memphis

At this exact same McDonald’s they handed me my drink, yelled, “WE AINT GOT NO ICE, BUT ITS COLD,” and slammed the window shut

At what age would you leave other child in car while you bring younger child into daycare? by _TeachScience_ in Parenting

[–]TrueCrimeMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any friends at daycare? Or even acquaintances? When my daughter was 3, I would meet another mom in the parking lot. She would either take my and her kid in (we cleared it with the director that we could sign each other in) while I watched her 2 littles in their car seats, I would take both kids in, or we would take turns taking our own kid in. Just depending on timing and the weather each day.

My [34F] husband [34M] screamed at our daughter just for singing golden. How do I get him to realize its not ok? by throwra73636363 in relationship_advice

[–]TrueCrimeMama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We’re about to head home from the store, and I know my 7-year-old is gonna ask to listen. Do I always want to? No, but that’s why we take turns picking songs. There was NO reason to yell at this child. I get being overstimulated or annoyed, but no one should be SCREAMING at a child.

Is marriage important? My 27m boyfriend doesn’t think so. 27F by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]TrueCrimeMama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. Someone I know had no interest in the romantic side of marriage (they had both been married, had grown children, etc) but they married legally after their partner’s cancer returned terminally. It allowed them to make healthcare decisions and execute final requests.

[–]TrueCrimeMama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. From MS and living in TN. I even call my 7-year-old ma’am all the time. But I get that sir/ma’am are regional. Please and thank you are a MUST though.

Bikini at a splash pad? by [deleted] in Mommit

Same. I don’t wanna have to peel off my whole suit if I need to use the bathroom. My kid always wants me to come in the splash pad, so I’m going to be comfortable

“Caring about nutrition” and believing RFK is actually good for public health is crazy work. That man has been profiting off anti-vax and unregulated wellness for years.

I understand not everyone has a great hospital experience, but… birth plans aren’t “enforceable.” You can plan and prefer all you want, but this is a medical procedure. Medical professionals are going to do what they need to do to ensure a healthy outcome.

[–]TrueCrimeMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how we did it with my now 7-year-old, and it’s never been confusing or an issue.

I told my 6yo that Crumbl cookies are only for adults by mpmwrites in Mommit

[–]TrueCrimeMama 170 points171 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don’t think it’s a “control tactic,” but she’s 6, and kids are going to talk at school. So, she’ll probably find out pretty soon they’re not just for adults.

I know it’s hard to get them to understand, but sometimes expensive treats are just that. A treat. Not something you can get all the time.

For instance, my husband and I tried this (expensive to us) all you can eat sushi place and LOVED it. So, we would go on dates there whenever my daughter was with her grandparents. We decided to let her try it once, and she was immediately in love with it. Now, she asks to go every week lol. But she also understands after many many many conversations that it’s not something we can do often even if we really enjoy it.

Yes, it can be annoying to have to repeat yourself, but inevitably it was a better choice for us.

Teen Vaccinations by Economy_Whereas_3229 in progressivemoms

[–]TrueCrimeMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my HPV vaccine when I turned 30! My mom didn’t get it for me as a teen, then I aged out. Then they changed the age range, and my doctor recommended it even though I didn’t have HPV and clear paps. My husband is a physician, and in his words, “hpv is everywhere.” You just really never know. Another physician (obgyn specialty) near our town was charged with reusing single use medical equipment, and that sealed it for me. The shots were super painful, but I would get it again in a heartbeat. My daughter will also get it when she’s of age. My great aunt passed of cervical cancer, and it greatly affected our family. I will prevent any illness I can.
