One of my favorite Mommy Facebook Groupisms is that food dye causes major personality changes in their kids. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the pockets of Big Red Dye or Big Blue Dye, and I'm sure it is super unhealthy. But when I see posts that say, "My child acts completely different after their father gives them an ICEE," it reminds me of how parents used to act like eating sugar made their kids unusually hyper. That sounded like a placebo effect to me then, and this dye stuff sounded like a placebo effect to me now. But what do I know? I've eaten a Ring Pop in the past three weeks, so maybe parents shouldn't be taking nutrition advice from the likes of me. If you care about health and like to chuckle at the extremely crunchy moms, these parenting posts will be right up your alley.

    Moms in 5h I feel a little odd posting this but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I created this group 8 years ago. I do not and have not been paid to run this group however it can be almost a full- time job. I'm sure those of you that have been in the group for years have noticed I definitely don't post as much as I used to or monitor it as closely. I used to do most of it when my kids were "little" and took naps. Well it's been several years since my kids have napped I'd very much appreciate

    Anonymous member 19h Has anyone adopted internationally? I was pretty set on being one and done, then I realized I just hate being pregnant. I've always wanted to adopt and think it's definitely something I want to pursue in a few years. I'd like 1, maybe 2 if there are siblings so they can stay together... and I don't care if it's a baby. Ideally I'd want maybe a 5 year old or even older. I just have no idea where to even start! If anyone has any experience, any info would be greatly appreciate

    Anonymous member To answer a lot of y'all's "why internationally" "is there a shortage of children where you live" questions... well 1) everyone sharing their negative American adoption input would be exhibit A. I do not want an American child. They are entitled, have more issues than other cultures and complain too much he about trauma. 2) I do not want a baby! I want an older child... the kind that are over looked and screwed cause everyone else wants a baby so they don't matter. So yes, I am

    My 5 year old "nursed" herself to sleep. Child 4-9 Years My (26F) LO (5F) and I are super close. I had her young and have done everything in my power to be the best mother possible. (Lots of therapy and time spent reading up on childhood development and age appropriate parenting etc) I exclusively breast fed and continued to nurse her for comfort until she was 1 year 7 months. I loved it and so did she. She has always reached to my chest for comfort. We cosleep and she often prefers to get some

    I joined a dye free group out of curiosity after it kept comming up on my algorithm. I think limiting artificial dyes and eating clean is a fine thing to do. The problem is the ladies in this group are constantly blaming dye for their kids behaviors. Do dyes cause children to behave poorly? I don't know. What I do know is that impressionable people will believe anything on social media without ever consulting a doctor or doing any research. She has no idea what "color" on the pack of Ramen means
