Handy chart for anyone who thinks that males taking estrogen can in any way mimic the menstrual cycle. Notice the complex and specific levels of hormone fluctuations and how they correspond to the biological process of ovulation and menstruation.

@AndreaHardie @shagbark_hick Yes I also saw how not having a video game system in the home affected my younger brother. Like it or not, it’s a way that teenage boys connect and it limits them socially when they don’t have access.

@KayLynGians This is my husband except he has brown hair and we have blonde children. Also I always thought I’d end up with someone kind of skinny and nerdy looking but my husband plays baseball and has a cleft chin😍

@GuyOnlineGuy1 @scrapbookhattie My kids love the dentist. There’s a TV over their chair so they just stare at a screen for 15 minutes while someone fiddles around in their mouth and then they get a toy.

@berrysweetlady My grandpa had 7 kids, ran his own business, and is incredibly generous with his time and money. He’s always had the mindset that he’d rather see his wealth used than leave a large inheritance. To me that is much more virtuous than not providing enough for your own children.

@mandalynns23 @stephs_here My 6yo daughter has just started to pick up on the fact that she’s in some of our wedding photos and that’s not normal😬

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@mandalynns23 Same here, I’m like, the guy who I accidentally had a baby with after dating for 9 months in high school is a devout Catholic and devoted husband and father…cool, lucky me.

@MotherGroyper @LadyNimby The reality is that when you are EBF, it’s much safer to have a plan for the bed than to fall asleep in a chair. Nursing side-lying is much safer, especially since you tend to become a lighter sleeper. I’d often wake up a minute or two before my baby, we were so in sync.

@glitteryfem Preteen girls do this, not grown women.

@KnownHeretic Honestly it shows how coddled he is that he’s apparently never met someone who disagrees with his worldview.

@alt1na1 I’m still doing 6 pumps/day but I’ve literally never had a schedule. If I want to go out, I’ll pump before I leave and when I get back. I pump right before bed regardless of the timing. I make 50 oz/day so clearly I’m doing something right.

@rayengroves Our kids prefer me when they’re sick so I’m the one who usually just stays home and my husband goes. I don’t feel bad, I’m honoring God by caring for my children.

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@dvassallo I remember seeing my first positive pregnancy test and knowing that my whole life was going to be different. She was like 5 weeks in utero and I understood that she was a person.

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@shakoistsLog @alt1na1 My third baby has no semblance of a schedule and an incredibly easygoing temperament. She literally only cries when she needs something and even then it’s usually more of a yelp.

@Batflake Meanwhile actually inducing lactation is an incredible amount of work and involves medication.

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@audrawrongspeak @VitaCatholica No but there’s an indulgence that involves visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead.

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@Waffle_Mother @be_homestead Somehow a penis seems like a bigger deal to hide than breasts, maybe because the latter is used to feed babies?

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@be_homestead My son is 3.5 and I pump in front of him. I don’t know when I’ll be more private but for right now it still feels very innocent.

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@Hestia_Esq My son didn’t cry all the time but was just clearly unhappy. He definitely had reflux.

[Sally @assignedredhead]

@Hestia_Esq This is my first baby who is a decently good sleeper and I’m still exhausted.
