    Anyone else walk into a big box store and feel like they’re the only ones awake in some sort of toxic capitalist matrix?

    @samira742 Very true and well put. I by no means have the answer or any remote idea how to fix it. When you zoom out the problem is bigger than time, than education, the system, the generations of people subjected to these poor standards. It’s all a big sad mess.

    @mackied Thanks for sharing. I wish there was more education and guidance around cooking from scratch and healthy foods, especially for those who need food assistance and need to stretch their dollars. The marketing aspect of it all is the worst.

    Teething "fever"

    @cjmnksa My LO got a 100+ fever for two days when two molars were coming in at the same time. I think there hasn’t been extensive research on the topic, so when there are no studies proving “yes”, doctors automatically say “no” instead of “we really don’t know”.

    @radchill Yes, I’m definitely depressed about a lot of things going on in this world, but you gotta keep on keeping on…just needed to rant.

    @christfollower1993 This is all where it really started for me, newly postpartum mom, with bad anxiety, worried about everything killing my baby. It wasn’t really until I got pregnant that I started focusing on more healthier options, and once you wake up to it, and all the different aspects of...

    @annmarkerls Half of those 18 brands are owned by the same corporation they just put different labels on the same peanut butter to make you feel like you made the best choice 😩

    @dsx Thank you, exactly what I was trying to get across. I messed up by making a hypothetical juice mom example.

    @ladym1977 Some processed foods are definitely better than others and I am by no means saying that I do not buy some for convenience and nutrition! Thank you for your perspective.

    @beauty1993 I definitely have messed up my whole life and am still learning. You’re doing great, I promise you.

    @saintonfire Well said. Corporate greed makes the wealth gap, and conveniently those wealthiest are the ones who govern our social supports. It’s all a tangled up mess.

    Anyone else walk into a big box store and feel like they’re the only ones awake in some sort of toxic capitalist matrix?

    @saintonfire I don’t blame the parents at all, and I’m sorry if my post sounded that way. I blame the corporations, I blame the government for being in the corporations pockets, I blame generations of this being indoctrinated into us. I blame everything else than the parents trying to do the...

    Anyone else walk into a big box store and feel like they’re the only ones awake in some sort of toxic capitalist matrix?

    @saintonfire I can’t afford the best options 100% of the time. I can’t cook from scratch every little muffin and cracker we consume. I can’t own my own fucking dairy cow. And sometimes I love to smash a Big Mac and some fries down with an order of nuggets on the side. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    @j185 The towels were just a click away and probably delivered in an hour from god knows where by an underpaid overworked person.

    @brazilianchristianlady Plastic clothes in plastic bag, bought brand new, never worn, and dumped 😣

    Anyone else walk into a big box store and feel like they’re the only ones awake in some sort of toxic capitalist matrix?

    @hurrix Sorry if I come off sounding superior. I’m feeling more hopeless, depressed, and angry at the system we’re all subjected to. I by no means have the answer to fix it all and am not above anyone. It was only recently when I had my first kid that I kind of “woke up” to all of this.

    @apor2017 Agreed, I do not judge others for their choices and do not try to preach my views on others, I figured this was a safe place to vent.

    Glass bottles keep cracking

    @pokerfaceblonde Yes! I think the temp of your water to try to warm the milk is too hot and not gradual enough for the super cold glass. Bottle Warmer Good luck!

    Glass bottles keep cracking

    @pokerfaceblonde I might be a little late to the party here but wanted to share… I used mason jars/mason bottles and had no problems warming them up from frozen. I used a Tommy Tippee brand bottle warmer. You added a bit of water into the warmer, clicked frozen, clicked glass, then beep goes...
