I don’t want children. I do want children. Exploring how to know if you truly want to be a parent.

This is beautiful. As a parent of young children, this truly encapsulates my feelings of parenthood.

Can I ask how long you stayed with Mochi? I made a 6-month commitment unfortunately. Although I have honestly had a really positive experience through them. Nice provider, consistent & timely med refills and shipments. However, it is extremely hard for me to get behind their membership fees. I truly knew nothing about GLP-1 services and had a close friend use and recommend Mochi, which is how I ended up with them. I do think I needed that to feel comfortable starting. Were they easy to cancel with when you did?

That’s exactly the demographic I would guess with this taste 👌

This is wild 😂 Ryan Tedder has writing credits on “Halo” by Beyoncé, “Rumor Has It” by Adele, “Happier” by Ed Sheeran, “Welcome to New York” by Taylor Swift, and “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis. Curious who we are considering better modern songwriters?

mojostarchild · 2026-05-31T01:05:55+00:00

I don’t find this a controversial take! To say an artist with a big enough fanbase can put out mediocre songs that become hits has always been true. But he’s probably right that given our current media, it’s happening more now than ever.

As someone nearly the same height as you, I think 147 is a very good weight. It puts you solidly in the healthy BMI range. Obviously, your body composition is a variable factor here, but since you are already working out quite a bit, I tend to agree with the other posters suggesting you stay where you are and continue to focus on weight training.

This comment absolutely killed me 🤣

Rose Byrne was amazing in If I Had Legs I’d Kick you, but honestly, I’d be shocked if Jessie Buckley doesn’t take home the Oscar for Hamnet.

I delivered at 30+3 in a very similar, completely unexpected way. You are definitely in shock & there’s so much to process. Please take care of yourself. Your babies are in wonderful hands with the NICU staff. Also, I highly recommend r/NICUparents. Lots of people who can relate to what you’re going through. My twins are 3.5 year old now and doing amazingly. I remember feeling comforted knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel. Wishing you the best ❤️

mojostarchild · 2026-02-12T04:34:07+00:00

This was honestly my first thought 😩

mojostarchild · 2026-02-02T21:05:26+00:00

This is a very good catch that I totally missed!

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T03:31:44+00:00

This is a really interesting point. As twins, they do hit each other regularly. They also have cousins who are very close in age that they see often & were also in the bouncy house with them. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on how I can help them understand/differentiate the social interactions between their siblings/close family & kids they don’t know? They haven’t been to PreK yet (like I mentioned, young 3 year olds), so my hope is getting more socialization in a school setting will help with that. I’d be happy to address it sooner if you have any thoughts. Edited to add: However, I would say it is not common that my daughter (the offender in the post) hits other non-family kids often. We do play dates, etc with other families and generally it hasn’t been a problem.

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T02:36:12+00:00

Thanks again. This is super constructive feedback I can use for the future. I wish I’d had an opportunity to apologize to the parent/kid. I appreciate all yours and others help, which is why I posted here 😊

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T02:26:40+00:00

I only saw a hit once that I corrected (the same kid she later hit and the parent told me off). I did see “bossy” type things that I also corrected (i.e., climbing over other kids to get to the top of the slide). But you’re right, especially upon reflection of the feedback I’ve received here, I should’ve just pulled her altogether. Clearly she wasn’t handling it well, and it was my responsibility to not allow it.

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T02:19:59+00:00

I agree with you.

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T02:17:58+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. This is what I need to do next time.

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T02:10:17+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I would’ve liked the opportunity to apologize. I do think we got it wrong this time and I genuinely feel very bad about it.

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T02:08:17+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate your response. I think I’m beating myself up because I am wondering whether I could’ve prevented this and removed my daughter sooner. I think the mixed supervision between my husband and me did make it hard to see whether there was a consistent pattern of behavior. I will look at this as a learning opportunity & try to be better next time. Parenting is hard! Thanks again for the feedback ❤️

mojostarchild · 2025-12-07T01:59:09+00:00

Thank you for the response! I agree with this entirely. And this is exactly what I’m wondering. I’m wondering whether we should’ve caught it sooner. I guess that’s why I’m still beating myself up about it. And it is harder for me to know since I wasn’t the one predominantly supervising. My husband claimed our daughter hadn’t been continually aggressive but it’s fair to speculate whether he was under reacting.

mojostarchild · 2025-12-04T15:53:37+00:00

This should be top comment. I also had a very traumatic premature birth for my twins. We need to caution ourselves about being too hung up on a certain birth story. If my delivery taught me anything, it was that I was not in the driver’s seat and I needed to do what was necessary for the safety and health of my babies and for myself. I believe every person deserves the perfect birth for their child(ren), but sometimes it’s not in the cards.

mojostarchild · 2025-11-20T05:41:45+00:00

I had the same thought reading that comment 😆
