    First day of daycare- how to make it less difficult?

    @sherrybaker Daycare is the best thing that happened to my Kid. Seriously. He was struggling with some significant delays, we were in early intervention and I was fully flipping my shit that we were headed for an Autism diagnosis and what that would look like for our family. My son is now almost...

    My OBGYN laughed at me when I said I was OAD

    @lovepr I'm probably not phrasing it correctly, but you can't physically recount pain, is what I am trying to explain. It's a medical truth not something I am just making up. My dr prescribed me strong meds for the hospital and home but in our state at least you had to say your pain was at a 7...

    My OBGYN laughed at me when I said I was OAD

    @lovepr yeah, you cannot remember what physical pain feels like, thankfully. Like I can tell you my c-section burned and the first morning after was terrible pain, but only because I was asked by nurses like every 4 hours in order to get the good pain meds. We've known we were OAD folks since...

    Why I'm quitting

    @osvaldo I know I'll get downvoted, but, after the first baby...stop having kids. The reason these laws dont change is because for the longest time there was no incentive to. Now the birth rate is falling, China is becoming the next global super power, and none of the women they want making...

    Gun violence

    @j90 I read in the sub, when worrying about the same thing, that, the last thing you'll want to do if you lose a child, is parent another child. If I lost my son, my existence would not be this life I live. I don't know what it would be, but having a "back up" would only make it worse.

    @plentyofpaper Same except I'm about to hit 3 and think it might finally be getting easier. TBD. (Boy, wild AF, and I am a very girl, very proper mama so it's been a journeyyyyy).

    “Nobody Wants Your Kid!”

    @manoah Yeah I’ve started to just be rude to strangers. I don’t owe them anything. Can I ask you a question? “No.” People like that don’t expect you to push back on them asserting themselves over you. What a fucking creep, I’m sorry.

    Guilty for thinking this way?

    @littledot I think it was probably rude to mention these things while she is actively pregnant. There is always a chance her third could have any of the issues you mentioned, or cause these issues in her family. There is a lot of anxiety about the unknown when you're pregnant, so yeah, I can see...

    She is one and done but I am a fencesitter, need some opinions

    @roovis I agree with this sentiment, but a lot of adoption agencies stress the importance of maintaining birth order for family harmony. I would recommend adopting a child younger than your son.
