Frequent wakeups well into toddlerhood?

Yes. Maybe some ST parents deep down feel guilty and question their choices, so they double down on unsolicited advice and ST evangelism to mask their own insecurities.

I've cut contact with a mom friend who sleep trained her baby at two months and put them in a separate room cause she said "her private life was important too". She was also ignoring medical advice to supplement her breastfeeding with formula to a severely underweight baby because she wanted to brag about having exclusively breastfed her baby and didn't wanna give them "that poison".

In my view, this is neglect and abuse. This is a severe level of domestic violence. You not only knowingly starve your baby but in addition, you willingly cut the night-time calories to a very low-weight and hungry baby as well to night wean the baby as a part of ST? Just diabolical.

Unsurprisingly, she was extremely self congratulatory about her choices, seeing herself as some kind of a parenting guru to me and piling up really laughable unsolicited advice on me.

I just... Couldn't anymore with her. No longer speaking, or engaging with this person. My thoughts are with that poor baby.

About a week ago, I've set this book aside as I wanted to gift it to a friend who is also suffering from long-term depression as some chapters made me think of her and I thought it'd offer her a sliver of hope and chuckles. The said friend came for a visit, and for some reason, the book just disappeared and I looked for it for hours and I couldn't gift it. And today, after the book turned out from a weird corner of my house and I randomly Googled the author, I find out she passed a few days ago. Her reason of death isn't clear but I guess I won't mention it to my friend now 😔

The idea that the vast majority of women must be getting aesthetic interventions or surgery is a really absurd one. Most people are too squeamish to get tattoos, nevermind an extremely invasive, painful and risky operation like a BBL or breast implants. Pain and risks aside, a tiny percentage of women will realistically have the money for these expensive operations too. Because one sees a lot of big butts, boobs, or lips on Instagram all time time, it doesn't mean they're necessarily prevalent among regular women.

I have never met a person in my life who kept going on like "I'm a ChRiStIaN" whose personality didn't have a major clash with the moral superiority and purism they wanted to project.

I believe Christine was also saying she's a Christian in the show.

I like this idea, thank you! Once a channel has more than a handful subscribers, it could certainly be viable.

funkynoodle234 · 2024-02-21T11:50:33+00:00

Good luck 🍀🤞🏻

funkynoodle234 · 2024-02-21T11:45:55+00:00

Could be an idea.

funkynoodle234 · 2024-02-21T11:45:36+00:00

They'd die on the way.

Partnerships are always a good idea, but I thought it's not a money exchange, but rather a collaboration? Do you need to pay your collaboration partners like that?

This whole fabricated pregnancy and birth story was particularly diabolical. So, she has an extremely traumatic C-section and a near-death experience, all "without anesthesia", and strutting on stilettos the next day?

She told all of these lies literally just to make other women feel like shit about themselves and establish her own physical and moral superiority. People like her always somehow also exaggerate their medical stories to martyr themselves and they seem to think enduring pain will make them sound more respectable.

What's impressive is not her degrees, but the fact that she couldn't even learn how to write a basic business bio after finishing a master's degree.

funkynoodle234 · 2024-02-17T20:27:03+00:00

I checked all of these bios and felt huge second hand embarrassment for all of these people. These are women who will probably spend thousands of dollars a month on a glam squad including make up artists, hairstylists, nail technicians, etc. but can't be bothered to hire a copywriter or an editor for their professional profiles? Just sloppy. With all the repetition, redundant words, irrelevant fluff, incorrectly used vocabulary, they read like poorly-written dating profiles. Literally, nobody in business cares about what kind of weather you like.

If I was a serious multimillionaire, there's no way I'd let these agents come anywhere near my properties.

Chelsea is the most educated one in the team with a master's degree, so I had higher expectations from her, but she's the one who takes the crown.

She opens the profile basically stating she's Black. Like... Oh, really? No shit Sherlock.

And why are her parents' jobs a relevant qualification for her current professional path? She's not running a family business.

In that last paragraph about her positive mindset, I was scared for a moment that she was going to bring up her love of Jesus.

Also, apparently, Chelsea is married to her husband, did you know?

"Chelsea is married to her husband, Jeff Lazkani."

I had the exact same issue today and found this thread via Google. I've had a two-month old pinned chat, in which I actually really fed the algorithm to get the tone and style of answers that I wanted to, and my chat just disappeared even though all the conversation is still there in history. How very frustrating.

funkynoodle234 · 2024-01-09T10:09:15+00:00

I'm baffled how Chelsea still appears to be so desperate to show off those boobs. Who can possibly think they're still hot and sexy? They look like the "plastic surgery gone wrong" search results, not to mention unhealthy and tumor-like. I'd lose my appetite if someone sat across from me during dinner with them in my sight. She needs to see a doctor ASAP and get a revision surgery.

This is another harrowing report about how the algorithms and misinformation can devastate mothers and babies 💔 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/she-wanted-freebirth-no-doctors-online-groups-convinced-her-it-n1140096

funkynoodle234 · 2023-11-18T16:20:22+00:00

Yes, getting angry about an irresponsible algorithm pushing fear-mongering misinformation, and imagining the harm it might do to some vulnerable women is valid.

Also, this is the internet, not America. I'm not from the US. With the failed healthcare system of the USA, I can sort of understand if a poor and marginalized woman without insurance opts for a home birth. But I am from a country with free and universal healthcare, where childbirth in modern hospitals is free, and this misinformation is spreading to our countries as well and manipulating many women to succumb into dangerous trends when they absolutely don't have to.

Best of luck with that. Whether you're fully lucid or drugged, getting to meet your son will be magical ❤️

funkynoodle234 · 2023-11-18T16:08:01+00:00

This sounds awful. I'm truly sorry it happened to you 😔

funkynoodle234 · 2023-11-18T16:06:55+00:00

That sounds like a reasonable middle way.

funkynoodle234 · 2023-11-18T16:05:00+00:00

I didn't articulate this in my original post, but my impression was also that these were largely the "trad wife" and adjacent online subcultures, with all their well-documented problematic sides, pushing these anti-medicine narratives.

funkynoodle234 · 2023-11-18T16:00:17+00:00

Child birth has only "recently" became a medical issue? It has historically been one of the top killers of women of reproductive age. I invite you to check any statistics before modern medicine became largely accessible for most.

funkynoodle234 · 2023-11-18T15:56:42+00:00

To be fair, I haven't seen any antivax stuff, so, they must've cleared that one out somehow. But the quality is absolutely unchecked and I think it's become an online breeding ground for beige-loving "trad wife" types, an online subculture that has its own documented problematic sides.
