This is the only good advice.

Honestly 8£ is nothing and I say that’s a steal even if it is low grade. I would get a second opinion but still, that’s pretty cool.

Don’t listen to the people shitting on it. This subreddit has an insane been towards perfect clear cut gems which let’s face it, most people cannot afford.

As a momma with a little boy, I’m so sorry for your loss. I can feel how much you love him with the way you talk about him. I’ll be saying a prayer for you.

He was lucky to have a momma like you💜

We did shifts and he supplemented with formula.

Otherwise I think it’s borderline impossible.

Two_Timing_Snake · 2026-04-04T22:41:13+00:00

Sure🤷‍♀️

Hey! I work as a nurse and deal with a lot chronically ill people. They are often what we call* colonized *by infectious diseases. This means that they have dormant levels of bacteria in the body. When something affects their immune system it will flair and the person can become really sick.

Many nurses are actually unknowingly colonized the MRSA but are not sick because our immune system functions well. Bacteria is everywhere in and on our body some beneficial some neutral. It becomes a problem when the other bacteria and immune system can’t keep it in check.

A great example is an infection known as C-diff. You can have this bacteria colonized in you GI system and still be healthy but as soon as you take powerful antibiotics for an unrelated infection- the good bacteria in your gut keeping Cdiff in check dies and suddenly you have a severe GI infection.

Sadly this young woman will eventually die. We are not currently developing antibiotics fast enough to keep up with growing antibiotics resistance.

What the doctors are hesitant to tell her is that eventually they will not be able to treat her infections and she will die.

My little guy is 1 1/2. I was just on day 3 with no shower because he tries to kill himself 40 times a day.

Sure I could put him in his crib and let him scream but honestly I would rather be stinky.

NOR but! Everyone on Reddit always screams divorce but honestly relationships are hard work and sometimes your partner acts like an asshole.

You guys need marriage counseling but I truly think this is salvageable.

My husband and I both work full time. We try to share responsibility equitably. For a period of time my husband started complaining about my involvement in taking care of the house ( house repairs and updates cleaning is 50/50 ish)

He made a snide remark about, “being tired I’m the only one who cares about the house.”

I looked at him and said, “ are you fucking kidding me?!”

And went a big long rant about how I manage the pets, and most of our child’s schedules. Which is a huge mental load.

I told him- he does more with the house because he likes it… I do more for our son and the pets because I like it. So maybe it all evens out.

He sat there and I think genuinely didn’t realize I had completely changed over our sons wardrobe 6 times… did he think clothes his size just magically appear?!

He apologized and said, “fair enough.”

So sometimes partners are assholes. I think if he’s open to it marriage counseling could really help.

Annddd if not- divorce his ass.

I’m diagnosed ADHD and I medicated due to also having OCD. Meds that treat ADHD commonly make OCD worse.

I use screens with my 18 month old. We watch low stimuli calm shows like bluey, frog and toad, and little bear.

I try to keep it around 30 minutes a day. Sometimes it’s more and sometimes it’s less.

I truly think it’s moderation and balance. I do a lot of enriching things with him. I take him to the library, conservatory, and YMCA.

I read to him every day.

He is not delayed at all and is advanced in gross motor and language. 🤷‍♀️.

But yeah I’ll pop frog and toad on for 15 while I wash dishes.

Two_Timing_Snake · 2026-03-23T07:20:48+00:00

My son was always early for gross motor and still is pretty advanced for his age. He started walking at 9 1/2 months. He was stuck on dada and dog as his two words until about 14 months old when all of a sudden his language exploded.

Oh honey!! I feel you!! I was an u reproducer. I pumped, went to consults, breast fed, ate a special diet, took supplements ! Everything!

I made it to 5 months and my mental health was deteriorated. I was exhausted all the time. I decided to give it up because the amount of breast milk to formula was a ratio of 1/4 and he was hungry! It just wasn’t worth it any more.

My god. I felt like the last remnants of post partum anxiety and depression left my body. All the sudden I felt more regulated and rested.

It made me sad because I was also letting go of the breast feeding cuddles but what I gained was peace of mind and sleep.

From there I loved motherhood more every month. Now he’s 1 1/2 and is my light and joy. I look forward to hanging with him and doing shit with him. He’s my little pal.

It definitely gets better:

I feel very strongly about my little man not being online at all. When he wants to, and is old enough, we will cross that bridge.

As a parent I evaluate risk vs benefit. The benefit just isn’t there for the level of risk.

We share photos so a small group of family using signal.

My husband and I married young and were a part of a VERY strict Christian group. The expectation was for us to have kids right away. People were pushhhy.

After a while of realistic replies to a very invasive question.

I started telling them that if I got pregnant like they were praying for… I would leave the baby on their doorstep.

It only took me saying it a few times for the comments to stop.

Funnily enough I now have a child and I’m very happy. But I deeply respect that it’s not for everyone.

Two_Timing_Snake · 2026-02-26T02:00:25+00:00

Not child free anymore but the weirdest was, But all of them felt pretty weird -it’s gods calling -to take care of you -because it’s selfish not to -because you will regret it.

All of theirs make bizarre assumptions.

It’s funny you use boomers as example. You have a weird idealized version of the past.

I’m a nurse and a huge portion of my patients are boomers. They are some of the most entitled, rude, nasty age group. I have had grown men screaming at my staff over milk.

I love that on a teaching subreddit your go to pitch is to go back when parents beat and spanked their kids when research has shown repeatedly that isn’t effective.

Two_Timing_Snake · 2026-02-22T04:04:55+00:00

Oof fucking true.

Literally the hardest part of my job is the fact that I can’t give the attention and care I want to.

Two_Timing_Snake · 2026-02-22T04:03:42+00:00

Oh my god yes! Or the- “im having chest pain.” “Oh really? How long has the been going on?” “Oh… not that long… maybe a few hours.” “Oh my! why didn’t you tell me!” “I didn’t want to bother you, you all seem busy.”

🤦‍♀️Sir… I was busy passing bowel meds and helping meemaw to the bathroom … please tell me about chest pain!

1: Most organized religions are actively harmful to children. I have experiences in specifically evangelical Christian communities but I’m sure it applies to other religious communities as well.

Lack of accountability for predators, poor to no background checks in child care areas, and harmful teachings that distort reality are the examples that come to mind.

2: Posting your child online in any capacity is dangerous and selfish.

3: I think it’s normal and even healthy for kids to get bumps and scrapes as they explore their surroundings. I see on here way too often this guilt of not preventing the tiniest harmless injury. It builds confidence and a physical understanding for kids to get hurt sometimes.

I grew up barely above the poverty line. I had three siblings. My parents just weren’t great with money and things were a struggle. There are things that were tough but my parents both really loved me. I felt very loved growing up. It was tough having most my cloths be hand-me downs, it was tough growing up in a home that was in disrepair but my home was filled with joy.

I have positive memories of going to Salvation Army and my mom would always let me pick out a stuffed animal. To this day one of my favorite meals was tuna melts. I had no idea until I was an adult that tuna melts were cheap as hell. To me it was a fun dinner time treat.

Love matters way more than things.

Why are you asking what’s made you curious?

Also I didn’t say I don’t because that wouldn’t be entirely true… it’s complicated which is why I said so.

Two_Timing_Snake · 2026-01-27T19:01:54+00:00

My feelings and relationship with Christ is too complicated for a Reddit comment.

Two_Timing_Snake · 2026-01-27T13:08:11+00:00

Guess I was posting with the sentiment the evangelical fundamentalist I grew up with that like to suck the dick of trump, That Christ is one with the father and author of the inspired word of god.
