If there's one place where cringe parents thrive, it's on the television network TLC. 19 Kids and Counting put the channel on the map as the place to watch wild fundamentalists have way too many kids. If you've never heard of 19 Kids and Counting, consider yourself one lucky duck. I'm currently counting down the hours until I can watch the new expose docuseries about the Duggar family, Shiny Happy People. 

There are so many problems with that family that I can't even go into here. One thing that really bothers me is that they expected their daughters to raise their children for them. It's not like they're asking for them to change a diaper here and there or help out with chores. The mom literally relegated her babies to her older daughters immediately after the baby was weened. If don't have over 15 kids, I'm sure you're doing a lot better than the Duggar family.

    Font - Anonymous member 33m. Is there a way to filter/place parental block on apps like Disney + and Netflix to block kid shows that have trans/gay characters? I understand these topics are mentioned in some preschool programs and I'm not comfortable with my 6 year old accidentally watching something she isn't ready for yet. 8 comments Like Top comments ✓ Comment Send

As someone who works in child welfare, I will just advise you that your child can be removed if there are illegal substances in your body at birth. I totally think weed should be legal, but I do not think people should ingest psychoactive substances while they are pregnant and r

    Font - 7h-8 TW: ASSISTANCE MENTIONED 6 € K My water ruptured completely at 29 weeks, I've been in the hospital and am now 30+1. I've been on antibiotics since I got here which has caused me to develop a yeast infection. The OB wants to move forward with induction and delivery to prevent any infection spreading to my baby boy. I really am not okay with induction via pitocin, what can I do from the hospital to get contractions going fairly consistently? I'm willing to try anything I'd have access

    Font - Anonymous member 16m. . Name help! We are having a baby boy soon (in 3 weeks) and had decided on the name Tucker Lee. Then a friend of my husband mentioned something about it making him think of the "tuck" clothing items being sold to transgender kids or adults. What do you all think?

    Font - My mother is threatening to call CPS on me for allowing my 5 and 8 year old to stay home alone at night. I work overnights as a dancer and I have no option or help. My mom lives states away. I have no fam or friends here and deadbeat bbddy. They are normally sleep when I leave and when I get home and I have a dog who is trained to attack. How can I get her to butt out of my business? single mothers shouldn't be attacked for taking care of home. 835 comments

    Font - So over the past few weeks she has been so hateful and mean for no reason at all. I will say that she is 2 and a lot of her actions are normal but her just being so mean and hateful is just so out of character for her. She just acts like she hates life and everyone around her. We thought it was because she got ahold of dyes but after a few weeks of being 100% clear of dyes and doing a detox there is no improvement. Well last night my husband mentioned that she hasn't been wearing her neck

    Font - Again, I want to say that I completely understand that she is 2 and has big feelings and having her moments and fits are normal but this isn't normal for her. She is normally so sweet and loving and just amazing, aside from her little moments of big feelings. This is more than just big feelings. And she can talk very well and tell me what is wrong but the last few weeks she doesn't even want to talk to anyone or have anything to do with anyone. She is whiny, screaming, and throwing fits c

    Font - Anonymous member in • A ETA: I'm not here to be told they aren't safe. We know the risks of using them. She never wears hers while sleeping and we are always watching her when she is wearing hers. She doesn't even acknowledge that she is even wearing one. So please stick to the point of my post and not the safety of the necklace, please. Everything in life has safety risks, but she is always supervision. I'm here to pretty much see if anyone has had similar experiences, not personal opini

    Font - As a mortician I can tell you for certain and with no regret. This is selfish, it is NOT worth the risk and you can't make a post like this and expect people to just be silent. 14m Like A 8 Anonymous member Bailey Bailey but I didn't ask for opinions on safety and calling me selfish is very rude. You don't know me. There are risks with EVERYTHING in life and EVERYTHING on the market. I asked to see if anyone had any personal experience not safety concerns or why someone doesn't use them.

    Font - ott Amber has to be heated to 392° before it releases the succinic acid. So they're just useless 53m Like Anonymous member 14 I guess that's a personal preference. We swear by them as she never had teething symptoms until she wasn't wearing it. As long as they were raw they worked for us. 47m Like Anonymous member it's science.

I left the truck running with my son sleeping in the back, so the AC would stay on, got out and locked the doors, and set the alarm with my fob as I have done DOZENS of times. NEVER.AGAIN. As I was walking to the restroom I noticed a man "walking" through the parking lot and my alarm bells

He acted confused as I continued to scream at him to get the F*** AWAY FROM MY TRUCK as I ran towards it. I popped my tailgate with my key and woke up and told him that he needed to wake up NOW and come to the bathroom with me NOW, and why, and then I called 911, killed my ignition, and locked my truck.

I took. into the women's restroom (15 or so stalls and very public) with me and locked the door, and called up while I waited until the police arrived. Not surprisingly, at which point the man was gone. If I hadn't been paying attention to my surroundings or hadn't trusted my gut, this whole scenario could have gone VERY differently.

Hell, my husband still cleans his room He brought up on a car ride my husband missed the cues from his month-long girlfriend two weeks ago, about her "apartment". He's planning on moving in with her.

    Font - Me & My bf have his 6 month old daughter for this past weekend. His bm called him last night saying she is going to put him on child support but he takes care of my kids and that should be his only priority. One thing led to another and we aren't going to be giving the child back if she can't take care of her financially we should be able to get custody of her. So when dropoff happens we won't be meeting her we will be at my house with his daughter, My children and us. There is no custody

Her and the rest of the family have banned us from all services and events. The baby was 7 months old and has been in the hospital for two and a half weeks fighting for her life and lost the battle.
