@wiloftcnc Kind of unrelated to this topic but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how a lot of the “trendy” parenting styles come down to “I don’t have to do this normal stuff for my kid.” Don’t get me wrong, some of it is good. Kids having a fair bit of undisturbed, unstructured play is...

@ruanddrew It would be worth bringing up with your paediatrician. It might be the case where extra help is needed or it might not but the paed would be better able to assess that. Yes lots of people have the same experience but if this is going to be an ongoing issue then getting onto it earlier...

@aegisheart My brother and I were both gifted, my brother more so than me and I have a few ideas of what not to do. The major thing being having “I don’t have to work hard to achieve” being something they learn because they’re not challenged. I straight up didn’t have to study until my final...

@jeremyi Well no, they weren’t following the “safe sleep guidelines”, they were bedsharing.

@elimatt Yeah the paraphrasing and lack of detail about both the original post and the responses make me suspicious that we aren’t really getting the full picture. Plus the admission in the comments that most of the comments were supportive shows that were already not getting an accurate picture...

@vel Yes! I agree, thats what I was trying to say as well but you’re absolutely right. I don’t even think audio monitors were a big thing back then. When I’ve talked about this with others some have even mentioned that their boomer parents had them on the other side of the house

@dmurrayfly Early risers act like people who are sleeping are lazy when they’re freaking in bed at 9pm while some people are very much still working on chores etc. But that’s not even relevant when your kids are already awake at the time many “early risers” get up. Also I think not having...

@dototkom I fell asleep a couple of times holding my baby so now we side lie and feed because it’s safer to accidentally fall asleep in a prepared bed than falling asleep sitting up or in a chair. But she sleeps in her own cot. In fact it’s 4am and I’ve just put her back in her cot. You can...

@lookx009 I also think we’re now actually no longer naturally selecting humans for “able to give birth/ be born vaginally” (and for clarity this is not a bad thing, it’s wonderful that women and children dying in birth is rare and not run of the mill). So a woman who has a pelvic opening shape...

@silvia74 For context on the fact that powder is just fine, I’m Australian and you cannot buy concentrate or ready to feed formula here. At all. Hospitals do have little 3 ounce bottles of formula available but it’s only 3 different formulas and again, you can’t buy them, so once you’re out of...

@macdawg It wasn’t even close to shame-y except towards themself. It was clearly self reflective. If you felt shame based on what was written extremely kindly that seems like a you issue and maybe some of your own introspection is also in order so you can understand why you felt that way. This...
