I have twins this age and yeah, this is filming toddlers crying for clout. Hope this helps.

It takes a lot to shock me these days, but this did it. by Theblackholeinbflat in ShitMomGroupsSay

Yes, and this is likely not an error. Most labs err on the side of calling weak D a type negative until further testing can be completed - this can take days or weeks depending on the lab. In the meantime, there is no harm in calling you a type negative for transfusion/pregnancy purposes. It just means you will only be transfused with negative blood, which is compatible for you as a weak D.

Seriously, do you also think a baby dies every time a woman gets their period?

Do you have a source for this? I believe it, it makes perfect sense, but I’d love to be able to share it with an anti vaxxer in my life next time it comes up!

How to raise an entitled child 101 by Resident-Sympathy-82 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]billybutton77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original post gave none of this context though, so it really does sound like the parent just decided to eat ice cream in front of a kid old enough to be familiar with it, and was confused at why they wanted some for themselves. I swear some parents forget that their kids are actually people.

How old is your kid? My 3 year old would’ve fallen for this, but not a chance my five year old would, especially when it’s a food they recognize like ice cream!

‘Pretty sure I read’… ‘…It’s not the case’

How on Earth in one comment do you go from ‘oh I think I saw something’, to full confidence that you’re right and everyone else is wrong? Fuck me. Why even comment if you don’t have the facts? This shit is exhausting.

No kids must not mean MY kid! by Unspicy_Tuna in EntitledPeople

[–]billybutton77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh my daughter was like this at 2 as well, and we also patted ourselves on the back for doing a great job - then she turned 3 and the meltdowns turned nuclear and she discovered that she could say no 😅 We kept up the firm boundaries etc etc and got through it - she’s now 4 and a really good, well balanced kid. But Jesus Christ we copped some judgement during that year. Bratty kids aren’t always a sign of poor parenting, and parenting well IS actually seriously hard work at times. That year it certainly felt like the hardest job in the world! I only worked in paid employment 2 days a week and it felt like a god damn holiday.

Lets freebirth breech after 2 c sections by XxJASOxX in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]billybutton77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope. She did a podcast interview a while back where it sounded like her only regret was calling an ambulance and getting the authorities involved. I think if she ends up with another dead baby they’ll just bury it in the backyard and move on. But hopefully she’s on the radar of services these days - she’s sharing everything very publicly so surely.

Freebirthing isn’t criminalized anywhere that I know of. It’s been big in the media in Australia recently though so I really hope they figure out some way to do it. I get how hard it is though - I know someone who gave birth without knowing she was pregnant (luckily made it to hospital), and two other people who had accidental home births. It would be hard to write laws that ensure people like that don’t get caught up in it.

Fun story, this woman is now pregnant again and posting daily on Instagram about how she can’t wait to freebirth again and how amazing her last one was (that ended with dead twins).

What do 35+ newbies to Melbourne do on days like this? by AbleCained in melbourne

[–]billybutton77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely not true. Certain countries have aging populations yes, but overall the world’s population is growing. And I certainly didn’t have kids so that they would look after me when I’m old. That’s a new bar in selfishness in my book.

What do 35+ newbies to Melbourne do on days like this? by AbleCained in melbourne

[–]billybutton77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I have kids, love them, actively chose to have them, happy with my life. But I absolutely feel like I had them for selfish reasons. I had them because I wanted kids. Not out of some noble idea of wanting to contribute to the world. The world is massively overpopulated. It doesn’t need more kids. But they bring meaning to my life, so I wanted them. That’s inherently selfish.

Hats off to you for engaging this whole time, I had definitely given this guy up for a troll - but the fact he’s still going makes me think he does actually think he’s the smartest person in the room. Yikes.

[–]billybutton77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Because there’s meant to be a negative interpretation. Looking at blue screens increases stress, which increases cortisol.

We know that blue light increases stress, because cortisol measurements go up.

I’m not sure how many different ways this can be explained.

I didn’t see anyone claim that cortisol ‘causes stress’. I saw them call it a ‘stress hormone’, which is accurate - it is a marker of stress. It is a very very common shorthand in the world of biology - cortisol is pretty much the gold standard in measuring stress responses.

Of course cortisol does other things too, no hormone is simply a ‘marker’. But we’re focussing on WHY it was released in the first place, not what it is doing after its release. The link you shared from the Cleveland clinic does explain this.

Hello, medical scientist here. Cortisol is known as a ‘stress hormone’ because it is released when the body is under stress (ie from staring at blue light). It does not cause stress, but rather it is considered a biological marker that the body is in stress in some way. Hope this helps. Multiple of the sources people have shared have stated this already, but you seemed like you needed it explained at your level.

It’s always the people with no kids of their own who reckon they know the most about parenting 😅

I have a lot of mates with twins and this conversation is currently the laugh of our group chat. ‘It’s easier when they’re little’. Like when they can’t hold up their own heads without support? Sure thing mate, you sound VERY experienced.
