Merry Christmas, everybody! If I were you, I probably wouldn't be spending the days leading up to Jesus's birthday scrolling through humiliating posts from Facebook moms, but then again, I'm not you! Maybe you don't celebrate Christmas, or you've already wrapped your presents! There's only so much you can do to fill your time on this beautiful planet, and who am I to be judging you for scrolling through something that I created? 

This Christmas, I'm grateful that I'm not in a Facebook group that regularly advocates putting onions in kids' socks instead of going to the doctor. I'm glad my mom is not airing out my dirty laundry to hundreds of other moms in her community who could easily share it with the rest of the internet. I'm happy that I've got trusted friends to ask for advice instead of total randos online. Now that all of the sentimental nonsense is out of the way, it's time to enjoy some parenting posts.

    wondering if this has happened to anyone around egerville too. Today, I took my preschool daughter to get a pedicure at the nail salon next to Double Dave's Avenue. I had to carry her to the car since we forgot flip flops. As I'm about to open my car door to put her in the car seat, a man in a small white car pulls up asking me in Spanish if I can buy him a baby bottle from the store and he points to the strip mall area next to us and then points to a car seat with a baby blanket over it in his

    I don't think this says he had any surgeries. It says "no response" because they haven't entered yes or no into the questionnaire. 11m Like Reply 10 Top contributor He didn't. Just saying they didn't select yes or no. Cleft palate repair, for example, doesn't happen if he doesn't have a cleft palate and is a 2 day hospital stay 10m Like Reply Top contributor As the parent of a kid that has had 4 of these surgeries,, there is no way it happened without you knowing. When would he have been alone w

    It almost looks like this info populated from a questionnaire they had but maybe there was no answer so these surgeries are just listed by default in the med record due to Lack of info. Not necessarily that your child had them. You would know if they had them. 10m Like Reply It's the health history questionnaire. The questions are the questions to be asked about. 7m Like Reply Top contributor You would have known! This is indicating no response on a questionnaire. 7m Like Reply 10

    They didnt. And you would have known about all of them. They list common procedures and you didn't say yes it happened or no it didnt 5m Like Reply Top contributor Does he have a g-tube or a shunt? If not, those definitely didn't happen 1m Like Reply ..stine You gotta stop with this stuff. There is not a chance in the world that your son would have these surgeries without your knowledge.

I've not been to any OB appointments nor do I have a doctor but I've obviously taken prenatals. My best friend is a nurse and she's come to my house and been my doctor this entire time. She's even helping me deliver next month in my home. I don't plan on notifying any doctors of the birth or presence of my child bc I don't want her to live a ta

    Okay ladies I haven't told anyone, not even my parents, what we're naming our baby girl, but I read somewhere that you should atleast tell a stranger the name. So here we go... We want to name her... Brayleigh Edna L First name is not common, first time I heard it I fell in love. Edna is my grandma on my dad's sides middle name and she was a very special lady to me so I'd like to honor her.
