Why do so many millennial parents want their kids to have unique names? Do they know that having a unique name doesn't make them a unique person? I'm lucky enough to have a name unique enough that I never have to go by my last initial but normal enough that I've never been bullied for my name. That is the ideal sweet spot for names IMHO. Sometimes, your kid gets bullied for their name because of things out of your control. I would never begrudge somebody naming their daughter Isis or Katrina because of the events that made those names taboo. But at the same time, is there anything wrong with naming your son George and your daughter Beth? Your name will not determine your fate. Having a boring name won't ruin somebodies life, but having a weird name just might. Someday, the world may be filled with Amethysts and Bartholemews, but today is not that day.

    Font - For you Your groups Events X Minor question I don't want to bug my kid's teacher with.. What do you do if you DON'T want your kid going on a particular field trip? Just don't sign it and keep them home that day? There's 2 things I'm not really okay with at the moment. First, it's an hour long bus ride. I'd drive us ourselves but we only have one vehicle at the moment and it's just not feasible (I'd also have to take my younger two and pay for myself and them, which is not really in the bu

    Font - just wanted to respectfully offer my take on this, and please know that I mean no offense... but while you and your partner may be comfortable with doing the deed in the same room as your child, your child may not be comfortable/consenting (even if they understand what sex is). Just wanted to offer a different perspective here 25m Like Reply 6 Follow Top contributor They can do what they want.

    Water resources - ⠀ My very high vibrational 10 yr old son, is now completely trying to come off food all together. He said that his guides have told him that humans weren't supposed to each much food anyway. I can't let him come off food. I just can't. He has also discovered that he can hold a bottle of oil (cooking oils) and feel in his body if it's harmful. Nearly every bottle.. every type.. every company... of cooking oil at the store gives him a sensation within his body. Only one type of v

Something that builds resistance to sunburn over time (so it won't work for this week) is taking omega 3 and reduce omega 6 intake. 4 h Like Reply 16 My sunburns heal much faster when I spray a solution of vitamin c and water on it every 30 minutes.

    Font - sago My kid fell and hit a front tooth on the concrete. It loosened but is still intact. Been to the dentist a few times for x-rays. At third visit dentist noted a change in the x-ray and said that there's now an infection behind the tooth. She prescribed anti biotics but I opted to follow a protocol of Hepar Sulph 6x (recc by Joette Calabrese) for the last 2 weeks. About once a day my child says the tooth hurts, so I give her Belladonna 30c. I do NOT want to put my child on antibiotics,

My kids had blue and pink playdoh last night and when they mixed it together, the playdoh totally turned purple.... Scary world we live in. 2 comments Like Comment ●●● Send

    Font - replied to Why don't people want to register their children? Many reasons, for us personally it's about maintaining our sovereignty as much as possible. As soon as you have a birth certificate that become commerce of the state. Can you not register your bub but still get child payments from the government or are they linked together That's what I'm trying to find out if there is some way around it, I think you need a birth cert for a freebirth Kat Can you not register your bub but still g

When she was recently dropped off her stepbrother was giving her a "piggyback " ride up to the house. I told her I thought she was a little bit old for piggyback rides. I just think it's inappropriate. Am I being to cautious?

    Product - 7:52 18h-m ((. 88 ... Call me gross, whatever. You asked for advice imma give it. I'm an LPN. What I'm gonna tell you is safe to do whether or not it's pink eye, and if it is pink eye - it will clear it up. Your OWN urine is sterile TO YOU. So, using the infected child's urine, put a couple drops in the eye. If still in diapers, you can rub wet (no poop) diaper over the eye area and get same effects. Do it at least 2-3 times a day. **This is something my mom did with me that a doctor t

I started supplements got it to a 8.4 then I stayed there for a good bit. My aunt mentioned the Thalassemia Minor trait that is apart of my mom's side of the family. Which I did

So we get our room, they took blood, IV, another cervix check (same) Dr came back in and asked if we could start some cervidal which is supposed to prime the cervix and put me into labor. It sits in the vagina for 12 hrs... I agreed. That made my contractions 10X worse. That did NOTHING but put me in pain. Then after taking it out we tried a 4 hr medicine that also didn't work. Checked me again, still did nothing. At this point there has been different mi

I'm like uhh nope. Get me out of here. There's nothing wrong with my baby, he's moving fine, he just isn't ready to come yet.

So we left and now I have no contractions like before, and im pretty sure that midwives brew just made me have poop cramps that triggered contractions. Well now to today, I am 40 weeks today on the dot. I need to know what I can do regarding a home birth still because hospitals are terrible and if there's no way for that, is there something I can look up on what my rights are?
