I am obsessed with parents who humble brag about their kids. I know that, as a culture, we look down on overbearing stage moms and sports dads who push their kids to their absolute limits to satiate their own unfulfilled egos. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about parents who love to subtly mention that their baby has hit developmental milestones at a slightly faster pace than the other babies their age. They will talk about how early their kid was when they first sat, crawled, and walked as if that has any bearing on their future intelligence in the slightest. Even first words are utter nonsense! Everybody knows that a baby saying "dada" does not mean he knows who his dad is! "Da" is just one of the first sounds babies make! D is easier to say than M! If you're a well-adjusted person who doesn't feel the need to brag about their baby being better than other babies, these parenting posts might hit a little close to home.

    Anonymous member 3h a Staying anonymous because I don't want people being directly towards my husband. How do I explain to my husband that you sorta have to coddle a baby in the 1st year of their lives because they have little to no cognitive function and don't understand anything going on? He keeps saying "I'm not raising no prissy prude, or little b**ch" when I confront him about how hes interacting with our 4 month old. My husband has autism and had a super messed up childhood. (SA, etc.) But

    If homeschool moms said the same Hahahaha. This is spot on. I once had an old lady ask me if I was worried about socialization while her goth anti social granddaughter was standing next to her.

    Oh, let's just close all public schools and let society work out those little things they take for granted. Prepare to take in those kids that parents can't or won't homeschool. (You don't really think that everyone is able or willing to homeschool, do you?). Good luck with that! In the meantime, stop being critical as if all public schools or all homeschool situations are the same. They aren't. 4w yes, I actually believe public schools should be shut down. That would increase the family's incom

    If homeschool moms said the same now does mine live in a bubble? She comes to work with me and can operate the cash register. She is extremely social with clients. At play group they wow over how acceptable she is socially. What am I doing wrong? 3w _ hilarious because public schooled kids are the ones locked in buildings all day whereas homeschoolers are actually out doing all the things they are learning about not just reading it in a book or on a computer.

    I'm so proud of my daughter for wanting to be a tradwife!
    via onlyheretozipline

    As a conservative mom I have never been more proud. I have 2 daughters, 17 and 16. One wants to be a homemaker/teacher/tradwife and has found a wonderful boy who supports this. And the other is working hard to get into the air force academy so she can serve her country. While it's a long shot she can most definitely do it. Beaming mom here 1 Like Q Comment Send

I have a MAJOR crush on my OBGYN I sometimes get turned on when he's down there, I always dress up when I go to see him and wear perfume on my legs, onetime I went in and made eye contact with him when he was checking my cervix and ever since,I feel this intense attraction towards him! At one of my appointments he made a comment about how the leggings, I was wearing looked good on me. Any mamas been in a similar situation? Do you

    Am I being dramatic? I broke up with my fiancé tonight. He works away from home 4 days a week then comes home. The first day he comes home I don't ask him to do anything besides change our sons diaper. The other days I ask him to help out around the house. Keep the floors clean (picking them up or sweeping), do dishes, help bathe the kids, and help with laundry... possibly cook a meal or two. Occasionally I'll have him mow the lawn or Mop. When I ask him to do these things they are half done or

    work he complains that we never do anything as a family when we obviously do. We have gone to McDonald's, places to get ice cream, splash pads, spending time outside the house playing in the water, or cuddling and watching movies every night. And for the 4th of July we couldn't afford fireworks because we were getting shut off notices for our bills because we had to save up for our son's surgery. We had a chance to stay in a motel for free and get free meals but he insisted we make it a family v

    have been together on and off since April 2018. I'm just tired of dealing with nonsense. I told him I'm his partner and not his mother. He said some pretty nasty things to me when I told him I was done. I explained to him why I was fed up and he said we just had a convo about it the other day when we didn't. It was me saying he needed to do more and it was him saying that he shouldn't have to do so much because he works. But when I was working and he was staying home I'd have to come home and cl

    takes me up until he comes back to get it back to where it was before. Especially since I have to Mop the WHOLE house after he leaves. Idk how or why but there has been sticky stuff on the floors EVERY time he leaves. When he was living here full time.i just gave up on the house. I'd clean once or twice a week. Everytime I'd clean something he'd come through and just not care and mess everything up. I had folded and put away all the clothes and he unfolded everything looking for his favorite shi

    Crunchy Ear Infection Help...

A lot of people swear by it. But if it doesn't get better quick please go for antibiotics. I love a good crunch in my life also and this is not a judgmental comment at all.

    Highly recommend taking your child to the doctors or urgent care. I wouldn't recommend using breast milk because depending on the severity of the infection it could make the infection worse. That being said, the infection needs to be taken care of before it can cause more damage, permanent hearing loss and be one of those. This coming from someone who gets frequent infections. I'm sorry your child is not feeling well. 2h Like 2b ☑Admin Top contributor Poor kiddo ear infections are so rotten and

    @admin Ear infections don't need crunchy remedies, they need doctors 1h Like I've found that if we see our chiropractor regularly for adjustments that our kiddos tend to not get ear infections. As soon as we go longer periods of time between adjustments our two year old and five year old tend to get infections. When they've had them we have had to go to pediatrician to care with antibiotics, but then are sure to get back in a Chiro routine. Also found for pain a diluted roller bottle of fraction
