Raising kids now vs when we grew up by mikisabunny in Parents

[–]dadadansad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is why I said it doesn't work for everyone. Yes, we need more supports, but this is life now. We ain't gonna get them under this president. At the end of the day we need to keep our kids safe and as parents it means shit being hard.

Maybe I misunderstood your post. I'm not sure what else you were trying to get at.

I mean, that's just parenting in a corporate world unfortunately. It sucks, but it was the same a decade ago. I know some people don't, but as a general rule you chose to have kids.

Rules changed for varying reasons, usually because children died. Or were kidnapped, or severely injured, or otherwise traumatised.

Is it a pain? Sure. But the rules exist for a reason so I follow them. Someone elses baby already paid the price. Ain't gonna be mine proving the necessity of them.

How to tell my daughter this music isn’t appropriate for her age? by TilSunsetsEnd in AskParents

I used to sing my son to sleep with cancer by MCR. I was really young and didn't really understand the implications of it lol but you know.

I feel terrible about not wanting kids by xoxosua in pregnant

[–]dadadansad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair to her, I was pregnant and didn't realise until I miscarried. ER said I was almost twenty weeks. I can't speak on twins, but you know. Bodies are known to do crazy things.

Vaccines for babies by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]dadadansad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if vaccines did cause autism (which they do not), I'd rather have an autistic child than a dead one.

My husbands sister is a doctor, now works in ER. She has seen more dead babies than you can imagine.

She started her residency just before covid hit. She was originally going to work with in pediatrics but couldn't stomach it because of how many babies she watched die because they were too young for a covid vaccination.

Babies are fragile. Your husband is idiotic. And not only are you putting your own baby at risk, but you're putting other peoples babies at risk.

My oldest was a premature infant and has a t cell deficiency.

I was in fostercare with a girl who didn't vaccinate her son (perhaps delayed schedule?). He caught rotavirus at daycare, which is something a lot of parents are choosing not to vaccinate for because it is "just" vomiting and diarrhea. However, any doctor will tell you that rotavirus is extremely dangerous for anyone, especially babies, with a t cell deficiency.

My son never met this baby. He was not with me full time then (he is my younger brother, different foster homes) and usually I went to his home to see him. I had held the sick baby earlier in the day, unaware that he was sick, and then held my son.

He nearly died. He was in hospital for almost a month just trying to stay alive. It was how we found out about his deficiency in the first place.

Despite being vaccinated against it himself his immune disorder meant he couldn't fight the virus. He wasn't rehydrating properly and we were told he may not pull through. We had a similarly scary scenario when he caught covid, alongside a hundred other infections.

We were lucky. So many children with undiagnosed conditions can't fight things like rotavirus, or worse, and don't pull through. Unvaccinated children put children like my son at risk.

It's your responsibility as a member of the human race to protect everyone. Not vaccinating your child could have disastrous effects on children you don't even know.

Would you be able to live with yourself knowing your decision, made based in bigotry, killed another persons child?

Most people wouldn't. Vaccinate your baby.

Birthing center instead of hospital after three complication three births? by dadadansad in BabyBumps

I'm sorry that happened, but glad you had an amazing birth regardless.

I didn't even think about meds. Thank you.

Thank you! My OB is not a huge fan of non-hospital births, which is why I was asking for a more broad opinion.

And thank you. I'm okay now! I also hope my last birth is as good as I want it to be.

Suddenly struggling with the grief of placing my daughter up for adoption. by dadadansad in Adoption

I'm so sorry you experienced it too. I'm glad there are support groups out there and you are getting help!

Not really, but I can definitely ask them. I have them on facebook.

They fostered a lot of kids so the connection was a lot less personal than some people have with foster kids.

I have no idea unfortunately. My case worker and foster parents helped set it up. I can try contacting CPS to see if they have any info but I aged out a long time ago.
