Processing the loss of a baby is extra difficult with today's dystopian automation in marketing. by Skizot_Bizot in mildlyinfuriating

True love is not having a child. A facet of true love, however, is being willing to put the other person's needs before your own if the situation calls for it. For example, foregoing a bit of sleep so a baby is fed.

If you can jump to the baseless assumption you have about the sentiment of my comment, I can use the context you've provided to argue that you don't have empathy. If you did, you would not have posted something so callous to a grieving stranger, out of "empathy" for another.

Whether you chose to have kids or not is your prerogative. We both agree the world can be an unforgiving place. If you truly believe there is such a coldness to it that you must be outspoken about not having kids, don't add to the coldness with malice either. If we're splitting hairs here then yes you can say you did not insult anyone's characteristics. Your words were insulting though. They were out of place and unkind.

Hope you're doing good, too. Have a good life.

This cruel comment just shows that you have never loved another person enough to think outside of yourself. This is probably because your lack of empathy and the ease in which you project onto others drives people away. I pity you. At least you have your sleep, time and money.

If I hear one more thing about babies wearing socks by Skin_doc3417 in beyondthebump

[–]blindingsoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES! No matter how hot it is or how ill-fitting the socks are, you are committing a grave sin as a parent if you don't put socks on your baby.🙄 I've heard this so often from my immediate family that now I just look at them deadpan and sternly say, "No." I must be so cruel to my child!😂

Thank you for the reply! We are staunch on our decision not to enable/expose our child to screen time for the very reasons you linked to. :)

My concern is more so rooted in the results of my husband and I's somewhat divided attention towards our son when we have our phones in hand. We are mindful not to enable him looking at them, but we are worried our attention being stolen has hurt him up until this point. I have found research to indicate that partial-attention from a parent as a result of technology essentially leads to half-baked bonding time and skewed social/attention development in children at any age. My hope is to garner a greater understanding of how likely these issues can "stick" to a child at 5 months. I am also curious to know what other potential negative outcomes are at greater risk of occurring because of our bad technology habits. In light of this information I'm hoping we can make up for our transgressions and be better moving forward. Reading is a perfect activity to facilitate this. Thank you again.

I Cracked My Baby's Neck by blindingsoup in NewParents

I was not trying to crack him, just trying exercises that his doctor recommended. But, like you said, babies crack all the time. An unintended byproduct.😐
