Every Facebook group on the planet has that one person who never shuts up. A group member could post something that has literally nothing to do with them, their family, their interests, or their expertise, and they will still find a way to comment about it. I know a lot of people who love to hear the sound of their own voice (myself included), but I can't imagine the appeal of the sound of yourself typing. 

For some, posting behavior like this is a sign of loneliness. They want to be a part of every conversation happening online because they don't have anyone to talk to in real life. For others, they really honestly believe that their perspective is essential on every topic, no matter how irrelevant. It must be extremely fun to live inside their heads, even if it isn't the most realistic, helpful, or intelligent mindset to have.

    ☑ Has anyone dealt with grade 4 tonsils (scale was 1-4 with 4 being the largest) and had success in reducing them without surgery? We consulted the airway dentist and he did a scan that showed the size of my son's tonsils and they are a grade 4 which is the largest on the scale. He was very adamant that they should be removed as they are affecting his quality of life and my son's growth. My son is 9. We did a sleep study, but he didn't have sleep apnea, granted he didn't sleep well because of th

    I'm looking to make mom friends - this will sound snooty but how do we find friends who are in the same socioeconomic class? I'm upper middle class. Live on the peninsula. My children are in extracurricular activities but I still fail to meet people (I feel like people assume we are a military family or "poor".) So where do I meet people? I don't drink and I do work full time but I feel like it shouldn't be this hard. I'm about to start knocking on neighbors doors to introduce myself lol ✓ Like

    12:45 ฟล 71 × Reels It took me 3 kids to realize that It took me ONE kid to realize that if you regularly take them to a chiropractor you and kids will never get sick. 1d Like 61 It is because viruses are not contagious and don't infect anyone. The symptoms you all experienced are a detox process which can be seasonal like trees dropping their leaves. Support the body as it builds new cells and expels the old ones, and don't worry that something is floating through the air, waiting to jump onto

    7:12 дв N 95 Do Not Buy Into This Nonsense! The reason babies are crying at this age is because they are trying to signal you to take off their diaper and let them pee/ in the open air. The reason it stops after a few months is because your baby has given up it's natural instinct to communicate their need to you. | Please spread the word about Elimination Communication. I potty-trained my first baby starting at around 6mo old and two more babies from BIRTH. I caught their little meconium in a sm

    My 16 yr old son is a PAIN in every nerve I have! Super moody, angry, lazy, sneaky, defiant, knows everything, etc.... I know! Typical teenager! But I was a teenage girl once and never remember ever being THIS bad with my mom. He refuses to use the oils I give him, the soaps | provide, even the supplements I suggest he use. He tells me he "prefers the chemically laden, store bought stuff" and wants none of these oil things. I sneak oils into his foods, spray his room/pillow when not looking, put

    Husband thinks his wife getting knocked up by a stranger is the preferred way to go to conceive a second child vs working hard to save 5-10k. Maybe it's better for society that his genetics aren't passed down even more.

    < ... My husband got a vasectomy a year ago while we were both in the trenches of my PPD...but now I've been having major regret and want another baby. I really want our son to have a brother too. A reversal is not financially available to us and while we've talked about adoption/IVF, that too is far too expensive. My husband said to me the other night..."You know, I am open to you...ya know... getting with someone else for another baby." I was shocked! I then told him I didn't know how that wou

    I don't know if this is inherently .. I just have so many questions here. Even if homeschooled why not try to encourage healthy night time sleep? Mac and cheese and hot dogs in the middle of the night?

    2:15 Instagram : 44 Anonymous member ⚫ 19h A I'm looking for a night owl to babysit my seven year old daughter during the overnight hours (Approx. 11pm to 6am). My daughter goes through phases where she is awake all night and sleeps during the day. She homeschools, so we don't need to accommodate the public school schedule. Still, it would be nice for an adult to be awake to keep her company and provide. simple meals (Mac N cheese, hot dogs, cucumbers, etc). Besides for the irregular schedule, s
