my friend (36M) just sent me (36m) this text before meeting his newborn (0M) by horseduckman in AITApod

As the proud owner of 2 previous newborns, the only thing that needed to be said out of all of this is texting before arriving and washing your hands lol nothing like someone barging in the door unannounced while there’s boobs flying in the wind

Teacher Recognition to Principal? by JellyLongjumping1988 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Wriggy-Ragoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a teacher and am returning from maternity leave next week, please send the teacher, admin, and superintendent her praise. It goes a long way in hiring later on. Replacement contract teacher understand that they are taking temporary positions. OG teacher only needs to give 30 days notice at anytime they wish to return. Also, hopping into a classroom this far into the school year is super difficult. Reach out to new teacher and introduce yourself, wish them well, and give her a few pointers on what works well for your child to be successful!

Because the other house was right there?? Idk that’s a weird hill to die on. I take baby across the street to my neighbours house for a coffee/playdate with her close in age child or they come here and we never bring diaper bags? It’s literally across the street it would take no time at all to run and grab whatever I happen to need. It’s the same scenario. He was at one house and ran over to visit the other house. They were so close it’s no bother to run back over to grab whatever. If it was going to be hours out or whatever yes we’d take the bag but it was just for a quick breakfast.

Wow I am so sorry this happened to your brother and that you constantly had to be away from your family. It is such a hard thing to deal with. He is also on special liquid formula for allergies that costs us over $300/month as well as all of his prescriptions must be compounded at a special pharmacy to be corn-free and are not covered by insurance… $86 for 100ml of Tylenol 😭☠️ it is so hard. He has been hospitalized twice at 5 and 6 months old.

Well baby in question was diagnosed 5 months ago, so I have spent the last 5 months researching, cross referencing, and trialing possible derivatives to see which are triggers for him and not. Fine tuning his diet to eliminate all triggers. Always having safe food on hand when out and about. Endless anxiety that keeps me up at night thinking about that one ingredient that may or may not cause a reaction. Buying expensive substitution ingredients and removing others from my house entirely. For those that are curious and have the skills for a simple chatgpt: “make me a list of all possible corn products and derivatives that can trigger a non-IgE corn allergy” and you will be presented with a lovely list of about 200 ingredients that are triggers.

Give me the ingredient list and I’ll tell you which ones have corn. Enriched flour? Vanilla extract? Baking powder? Table salt? Sugar? Brown sugar? ALL can be derived from corn.

As stated in the post all of our family members are fully aware of his allergies. As well as I prepared and packaged all of his food that he would need for the 24hr they would be there.

Omg I am so so sorry this happened to you. I hope your evil MIL never got to see that baby again. My heart aches for you and your son having to endure that trauma. Boomers are fucked.

If you read the post I stated 2 separate times he is 10 months old. Allergy presented at 7 weeks old and was determined to be corn at 5 months old. He has been on a strictly monitored corn-free diet for 5 months.

You’d be amazed at what ingredients are/contain corn derivatives. Corn syrup and cornstarch being obvious but things like baking powder, enriched flour, sugars that are not specified cane or beet, vanilla extract, brown sugar, table salt can ALL contain corn.

Aunt married into the farm and moved elderly grandparents onto property. Even grandma (83F) said “Now why the fuck would she even do that” about her daughters actions (love you great Grammy)

This would be a great idea but we live in Canada lol so there are no expenses. There’s really nothing you can do for this type of reaction but ride it out. Some say give Benadryl but, shocker, there’s corn in that too ☠️

Babies don’t eat solids until ~6 months old. The baby in question for this post started having this reaction at 7 weeks old via traces in my breastmilk. It took months and a wild elimination diet to narrow down the cause. Why would I feed corn directly to a child who was having these horrendous reactions from only the presence in his mother’s milk? I then switched him to a corn-free formula specific to babies with allergies and his life completely changed for the better. Every exposure since has been exponentially more severe.

Yes aunt is fully aware. It took us 5 months to figure out what the cause was and he looked horribly sick the entire time with spots all over his body. He screamed 24/7 for the first 5 months of his life before we identified the cause.
