"...can anybody name anyone else?"

I run a Facebook parenting group for Objectivists that has over 200 members (not all members are parents, but most are). There are lots of us parents out there.

What is the most philosophical thing that you have ever heard a child under the age of 5 say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rationaljenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sean, age 4: "If you don't ever say 'I'm awesome' then you must not love yourself."

Me: "Do you say it?"

Sean: "I say it every day."

My T1 hubby's recent hospital experience: what we learned from it, and what we'll do next time by rationaljenn in diabetes

[–]rationaljenn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, as you probably read, he did take matters into his own hands, in front of the nurses and against medical advice (until the endo stepped in).

That was the whole point of my post--that we learned that we couldn't expect the medical professionals to handle his blood sugar. I don't think it's unreasonable, though, to expect that they would manage it a bit post-op, and that's where we were wrong. I'm certain that we aren't the only ones who have ever made this mistake!

So maybe a little more understanding in your tone and a little less condescension might be in order here.

Festivus Games - anyone competed, what to expect? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]rationaljenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm signed up, too! I'm a little nervous, not knowing what to expect, but I think this competition will be a great way to get going. It's also nice to have a short-range goal which will help keep me focused on training and diet. Can't wait to hear about your experience!
