@aegisheart My kids now are 2, 4, and 6 - they all start at about 3ish, which is why I mentioned it :)

@aegisheart As a parent that has 2 gifted kids of 3… both of them are adhd and you basically described some of the things to watch out for. Hypersensitive, strong emotions, sensory seeking/avoiding, advanced knowledge of letters/words/numbers… I was the same and diagnosed along with my sons...

@davidlionheart My third came out, stretched, and has been a cinnamon roll of a child ever since. I was TERRIFIED when i found out I was pregnant so quickly after my second, a colicky baby who was so needy. And I didn’t find out early. I was going into surgery and they had me pee on a stick. My...

@petermushk I have 3 kids, 2 of which are ND. I meant what I said. And the bias was about the ND and how you’re treating a legitimate disability. It was to look inward and see what you’re holding as a bias, because your post is full of it. My compassion is for your GIRLFRIENDS child, the...

@petermushk You seriously need to figure out the difference between punishment and natural consequences. Holy hannnah. I hope this is fake, because you’re coming off as callous and authoritarian. Family therapy is good, therapy for you and your girlfriend - specifically on how to parent in...

@10wawa10 I think he sounded perfectly appropriate and reasonable - honestly it was the most mature answer you can expect :) And it makes the most sense as well! Maybe if you have the fiancée as a chaperone and talk to your parents it might be fun :)

@lisaleger At that age, just you talking on both languages, regardless of vocabulary, is good Grammar and priming the sounds are what they get

@lisaleger How old is your son? I have 3 raising bilingual (French and English) and I found kids books in the non dominant language and second language tv (paw patrol or puffin rock, for instance) in whatever language work best. My advice for a 1 year old would be different than a 5 year old...

@angeliabell My 3 are that close, it was 3 under 4 but the last two were super close in age. It’s doable if you have help and it isn’t the middle of a global pandemic and your partner is in the city and not on site hours away. It wasn’t for me. I’ve seen people pull it off. I lost...

@messa Can you save your husbands per in a sperm bank and make the decision a bit later? I had 3 in 4 years at your age (just had my third at 36), and while I always wanted 4, I can’t do pregnancy again. My last pregnancy and delivery were a bit too much on me and my conditions, and I need...

@ericak101 My little brother is over 7 years younger. We have an amazing relationship now, but my parents and grandparents clearly had a favorite. Just don’t do that.

@kevinmh12 I’m a crazy feminist - I think you are absolutely blowing this out of proportion. It would be sexist to think that women don’t need help during pregnancy and after birth - it’s a major medical issue. Even if the baby was up for adoption, the birth parent needs support in that...

@bbfantastic Get most of the stuff off of market place or a consignment shop :) I also found kimono style onesies and nightgowns were absolutely brilliant, and those Finnish baby boxes had clothes that actually grow with the baby, so you need about half of what you’d normally buy, and it’s all...

@faithit66 If the human race were to suddenly blip off the face of the earth, the issues we created would still be in motion (mass extinction, etc). I’m raising helpers. Our family is net negative, and I always wanted to be a parent. We do what we can. I feel bad that this is what they’re...

@nucc Here is the cheapest with the blow drier - $300 Canadian so probably cheaper in the US.

@luke Get a bidet attachment for your toilets!!! Seriously - they have been a game changer. Spring for one that has a blow drier. I’m in Canada, and the hot water blow dry one is about $300, but it is so much cleaner as a woman. So much. Like night and day And they sell them at Costco

@owly My friend saw a demon as a kid outside her window a whole bunch. She told her mom, and when they checked they found footprints outside her window. They never told her, she stopped seeing it, and the police got involved. She found out in her teens what happened, but she did get a better...

@tim_goodnews There is always hope, and kids… they’re always there to surprise us. I’ll tell you one way his brain was a bit spicy - he once was trying to throw something into our recycling and kept putting it in the garbage. He’d pick it up and try again. It took me moving his hand over to...

@tim_goodnews As far as brain injuries go, kids are so freaking amazing about healing. I have a friend who as a baby had a MASSIVE brain injury. The doctor told his mom he would never walk, talk, etc. He used to sing everything. He just randomly started talking at 4 and didn’t just walk...

@guitarofgod We started trying at 22, but after 9 years we finally had our first. Not as many as we wanted, but still enough. Maybe one more, but no more pregnancies for me :)
