Remember when your parents would tell you not to post everything on Facebook? This might be unique to Gen Z, where our parents were smart enough about social media to look at our pages and monitor our posts but resigned to the fact that they can't stop us from using it entirely. My mom would always warn that employers would be looking me up online to see if I'm too much of a party girl to work for a company. I'm sure it's still true that HR departments do a scan of a potential new hire's social media to ensure that they're not posting transvestigation conspiracy theory videos 18 hours a day. I used to think I wouldn't get hired if someone found me using foul language on Twitter, but it's become increasingly clear that there are much worse things you can do on social media than swearing or being "unprofessional."

  • Today's parents don't seem to care much about posting incendiary things online. They do so without a second thought, and thank God they do, because these unhinged posts are just so darn entertaining. If you're a parent scrolling along, I wouldn't take these posts as an upstanding example of good posting etiquette.

    Anonymous member 6h 8 Need to vent and ask if anyone finds this extremely creepy. I have 2 kids with my partner (currently live separate working on things). He has a child from his previous relationship who's a teenager. His ex left the state with her and didn't actually ask but last minute made the agreement that he wouldn't take legal action if she sent her to see him every 3 weeks. She's not stuck to that at all since leaving but he doesn't want to uproot his child's life when she's settled a

    Hsv1 or the dyes

    Anonymous member ⚫8h A Yall I want to cry! Yes I have seen what hsv1 can do to a baby and unfortunately I am a carrier and passed it to my son when he was born. I had no idea I had it. But I went and got ValAcyclovir since in 36 weeks and everyone was saying to get it. But I cannot consciously put dyes and those ingredients in my body! Please tell me there is another way I just cannot do it since studies do show the colors have an effect on a babies brain on the womb. F82 289 289 97 58 comments

    Apparently trying to encourage and educate new parents about safe sleep practices is an 'agenda'.

    It's mind-blowing that we've normalized babies crying themselves to sleep, but moms who sleep with their babies get labeled irresponsible or "too attached." Babies don't self-soothe, they shut down. That's not independence, that's survival. You want to know what's actually normal? A baby wanting to be close to their mama. What's not normal? A world that shames mothers for following their instincts. Co-sleeping isn't the problem. The system is. A

    Co-sleeping is dangerous, it has nothing to do with the system. There are special bassinets called bedside sleepers that parents can attach to their beds that allow co-sleeping while ensuring the baby's safety. Improper co-sleeping increases the risk of SIDS, the parent might roll over onto the baby in their sleep, and the softer mattress isn't appropriate for babies to sleep on as it can cause positional asphyxiation. Co-sleeping is NOT safe, period. 10h Like Reply Author …y you think it's dang

    Nah, I think it's dangerous because I actually look at the statistics that are not skewed. Just because it's common around the world doesn't mean it's okay. The data shows all the deaths caused by parents who were being irresponsible and those who were being responsible but had a freak accident. Them being drink or on the couch increases the risk further, but even when parents are trying to be safe the risk is still there. 8h Like Reply ✓ the data shows what supports their agenda.

    Anonymous member 4d ° Posting anonymously because each mom has their own stance on this. My husband and I are confident on our decision. Has anyone circumcised their newborn without receiving the vitamin K injection? If so, how old was your child when this was done and who did it for you locally? I am not finding much information on this. 17 70 comments There is a Rabbi in town that will do it. 3d Like Reply 1 Not all babies are vitamin K deficient we are the only developed country that routinel

    Honestly leaning towards flat earth a little because why would they tell the truth there. Anyways. Is just explaining that it is a theory okay. This is the theory of space and here is the theory of flat earth? Thoughts and conversation. And let's assume I am a stand up human who tries really hard. Like Comment Send 23

    gett Top contributor We are team leaning towards flat earth but we teach the standard stuff and give them the possibility that it all might be different and when they are old enough we'll lay a lot more out there for them. We basically say no one actually knows. My husband has gone DEEP into flat earth and is a highly intelligent man so the fact that he has landed pretty solid on it gives me extra piece of mind. He's had hours long discussions with pilots, engineers etc and has a lot of answers

Before even sitting down, I politely asked the manager if I could change my baby's diaper in my seat since their washroom was too narrow. Instead of understanding the situation, they flat-out refused, saying that "customers will react." They didn't even allow me to use the waiting area for a quick diaper c
