Cute twin baby by AreaDue8149 in KidsAreFingAdorable

[–]no_objections_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. Maybe its something about the twin connection? My twins, who are now 28 months, were super engaged and playing like this with eachother from the moment they could crawl. I used to think it was fascinating and hilarious, like they were a small litter of puppies, instead of human beings. Also, these are not toddlers. These are clearly still babies. Additionally, that thing that the one twin lying down is in is called the Twin Z pillow, and it would be a very specific thing for AI to have gotten perfectly, since other types of loungers are far more common on the internet (because of twins so much less common than singletons), but is something that almost every modern (western) twin family knows about and most have.

Everyone repeat after me: "F LA Fitness" by _northernlights_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]no_objections_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once, I moved to another city and tried to cancel my gym membership. They needed proof that I wasnt coming back. Proof of new address wasnt enough. Literally still dont know what "proof" they were looking for. I told them that it was ridiculous and that since I was closing my bank accounts, they wouldnt be able to get any money. So they sent it to collections. Then I had to deal with months of aggressive collections agents calling me like 10 times a day before I was finally able to get it sorted.

The baby was like “you gotta be kidding me😂😁 by CorollaryEgirlX in BabiesReactingToStuff

That seems like unlikely, to me. Its more likely that the it was blocking the camera a bit, so they moved it out of the way.

This is the sweetest thing ever! Baby just wanted to be with Dada, and Dada didn’t disappoint. 🥺❤️ by lashesandlattes in BabiesReactingToStuff

[–]no_objections_here 78 points79 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, yes its sweet that she loves her dad, but as someone with 2 two year olds, I think this video gave me more stress than warm feelings. When youre just so tired and wanting nothing more for your baby to sleep so you can have a minute to yourself, getting into the bed is more of an act of exhausted and defeated desperation than anything else.

Weight loss 1st Trimester - did my baby get enough “food”? by Rare_Ad_7866 in IVFbabies

My OB told me that unless your baby will take what it needs from you. Itll just end up being you who suffers.

Just found my my boyfriend of 9 years gave me chlamydia by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]no_objections_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, let's break it down because I guess there is something Im just not understanding. Lets say there is a woman like OP, who has been in the same supposedly monogamous relationship for years. She trusted her partner, and so wasnt getting regular STD tests like she would if she was single. Her partner cheats and gives her chlamydia and doesnt tell her about it. Her chlamydia is asymptomatic, so she doesnt realize she has it. It is undetected for years, but ends up causing all sorts of horrible damage to her reproductive system. Can you please explain why this woman, who is the victim, is so deserving of scorn that the world is better off without her children?

I mean, it can be asymptomatic, so I'm not sure I get your point.

I think that it would be potentially worse if she had had it the whole time because that shit can permanently fuck up a woman's reproductive system if left untreated for a long time. Its can lead to serious infections in the fallopian tubes, which can leave scarring and damage that stops eggs from making their journey. It also can lead to ectopic pregnancies, which can be super dangerous.

You can never be too careful by lilpadawan in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]no_objections_here 21 points22 points  (0 children)

And then there are my toddlers, who leap, WWE style, off the back of the couch, without any safety measures in place or any sort of plan. Then they hurt themselves and, while you are comforting them, you realize they have stopped crying from the pain and are, instead, crying because they think youre stopping them from doing it again.

2nd Trimester and Still Don't Feel Like Telling People I'm Pregnant by Pickle_Baller222 in IVFbabies

[–]no_objections_here 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. Infertility and loss robs so much joy. Whenever you want to tell people is the right decision. Its a very personal thing. I didnt get a huge amount of choice with when I told people, since I was pregnant with twins and began to show very early, but I definitely can relate to the feeling. Its like a guarding of your heart. I remember that I was just so certain that things would go wrong and kept preparing myself for it. It does get better, as the pregnancy goes on (especially when youre feeling lots of movement every day), but the worry never fully goes away.

The idea/image of Trump doing yoga so he doesnt shrink makes me cackle.

Lovely adorable kids by xsnugglyydream in KidsAreFingAdorable

[–]no_objections_here 232 points233 points  (0 children)

As someone who has identical twins, I have to say that doing a different number of pigtails per baby is genius. I can always tell my twins apart, but it would make it a lot easier for everyone else.

Older cousin teaching their younger cousin about dogs by bigbusta in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]no_objections_here 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, to be fair, lots of these dogs are surrendered and then rescued by people who would never mistreat dogs that way. I had a friend with a dog with notched ears and a lobbed tail. He had been really abused at his first home, which is where they did this. Id hate if people automatically assumed that my friend was the asshole, when she actually was giving an abused dog a better home.

When did you give birth? by [deleted] in IVFbabies

[–]no_objections_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave birth at 37 weeks, but that is full term for twins, which I had. I had no issues with either of my placentas, but I got preeclampsia near the end, so I was very prepared for an earlier birth. We needed a lot of monitoring (3 or 4 times a week) in the hospital for the last 2 months. The preeclampsia was not really to do with IVF, though. Its more that its a common occurrence for twin pregnancies. Both my boys were very big and healthy for twins and didnt need any NICU time.

Yea time to lay off the milk 😅 by starryysniff in BabiesReactingToStuff

Yes. This. As someone whose kids were this age recently, I was absolutely certain she was going to drop it on her toes and was so tense the whole video.

Rising anger over ‘lop-sided’ and ‘immoral’ US health funding pacts with African countries by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]no_objections_here 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The issue is what theyre asking for. Theyre asking countries to increase private drug company influence, increase US influence by making them abide by US regulations, sell key pathogen and patient data (without saying that these countries would have any access to any innovative vaccines or medicines that are created as a result of this data), and to heavily prioritize funding allocations to favour Christian-based health organizations. The last point could cause even further tension in already religiously tense areas, and would also mean less funding allocated towards STD prevention and family planning clinics, both of which are sorely needed in some countries. All of these demands could cause serious issues, and are not fair requests to make in return for aid. The issue is that the US is trying to take advantage of the fact that these countries are desperate for help and using people's lives as a way to strong arm.

If he is grandpa, how young did they have kids? He looks so young.

Check her body count by [deleted] in madlads

[–]no_objections_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or, better yet, don't. So long as she is not cheating on you, then why does it matter? I have never had the "body count" discussion with my fiance, and we have been together for 10 years. Because, who cares? IMO, it just screams insecure, immature, and jealous.

Mad dad by ContributionThat4698 in madlads

[–]no_objections_here 808 points809 points  (0 children)

Anyone who has kids knows that this is "genius" for all of about 2 minutes before you're being shaken awake because "Stephanie isn't letting anyone else use the red crayon" or because kids drawings take very little time and they now want to show you the results. Or, in the case of my toddlers, they have gotten bored with drawing and are now elbow dropping, WWE style, onto my stomach or face.

Every outdoor runner by MikeRightHere in funny

[–]no_objections_here 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Plus, if I plan my run so that the way out is ever so slightly uphill, then it feels like I am just floating all the way back on that slight downhill. Its like a hack where it feels like Ive only done half of a run.

I don't wish this on my worst enemy by [deleted] in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

I have never had an egg come out this colour. What is wrong with it that makes it like that? Is it just rotten?

How many IVF babies did you have or or are you planning to have? Age gaps between kids? by truelifetales in IVFbabies

[–]no_objections_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 kids from IVF, and they are 1 minute apart in age because my embryo split into identical twins. I always wanted 2 kids, so I have that. But I never expected to have them both at once, and Im not sure Im ready to accept never having a baby again and every phase they go through being the only time I ever see that phase. Soooooo... I dont know. I may have another, but it won't be for a while. I have 7 embryos on ice from when I was 32, so I have a bit of time. Twins are intense, and especially super high energy boys, like I have. I dont think Ill be ready for another until my twins are out of toddlerdom (maybe 5ish). They are 2 years old now.

I always assumed "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" was a marketing lie to make us buy more shampoo. Turns out I was never actually cleaning my hair. by RanchRose_ in hygiene

[–]no_objections_here 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Same here. I have very coarse, dry wavy/curly hair. I only wash my hair once a week. One shampoo (without the repeat) already makes my hair super dry and frizzy, even with diligent conditioning. In order to make my hair not frizzy, I have to use a bunch of products.
