Over the past 5 years, there has been a considerable rise in parents using natural remedies for their children's illnesses instead of over-the-counter or prescription medications. Every mom group in the country is full of parents asking for alternative treatments for every childhood disease under the sun, with hundreds of comments eagerly telling them to squirt breastmilk into their infant's ears. I have never had any gripes with modern medicine, and I don't see why you would forego incredible inventions like children's Tylenol and antibiotics in favor of putting onions in your kid's socks when they have a fever. I want to get over illnesses as quickly as I possibly can, and I'm pretty certain that 99% of the time, the natural remedy prolongs suffering way longer than some little pills. If you can't get enough of crunchy mom social media, these parenting posts are certainly some of the most entertaining of the lot.

She now has a fever of 108 degrees, won't stop crying, and is currently on fire. Is her temp high enough to give her Tylenol or should I wait it out?" No negative comments please."

    The kid's birthday party answer is sad to me. You don't even know your kid well enough to think through how they'd like their birthday party? I promise, you know your kid and what they'd like better than a robot would.
