i'm sorry i do like to lurk on dc urban mom

@MiriVinni i think some of them actually know this deep down but have too much resentment for billionaires

[j @julia72330]

@FraserBerryFarm @CuriousBunnie12 tbh she is way too arrogant about her parenting for someone with only three children

[j @julia72330]

@adesertdryad @JaycelAdkins i need to reread this, one of the funniest books

[j @julia72330]

@useful_emetic that makes sense, my experience is from the late 2010s

[j @julia72330]

@ThymeToBeBorn look into lithium orotate

[j @julia72330]

my daughter cries every time she hears Blackbird... funny that they have very strong opinions on music even at such a young age

[j @julia72330]

@Toy__Truck i am so afraid of this when i go back to work after my leave ends. i already felt it with my first child, not sure how it's gonna be with two

[j @julia72330]

@hannahepoch i felt the same way, i had always wanted like 4 or 5 kids, and i wondered for a long while whether we'd even have one. i think you should still have hope though - i ended up getting pregnant with my second without any issues. you won't necessarily face the same issues always

[j @julia72330]

@hannahepoch obviously not a guarantee that it's just bad luck, but i thought there must be something wrong with one of us, and it turned out to be bad luck, i think

[j @julia72330]

@hannahepoch you probably don't have a balanced translocation but imo it's still good to test for it. in the end, we both just took supplements (coq10, nac, etc) and tried again. i had an uneventful pregnancy, no extra progesterone needed

@ThymeToBeBorn @selentelechia i guess i say atheist, and if you asked him he would consider himself atheist, but to be more precise, i think he simply dgaf about whether God exists, & rejects the god/gods of any particular religion

[j @julia72330]

@ThymeToBeBorn @selentelechia he's a much happier and contented person than i, though. sort of the opposite of what many religious people will insist

[j @julia72330]

@ThymeToBeBorn @selentelechia job is the reason my husband became an atheist at 13. none of the adults around him were able to explain the book in a satisfactory way, so he just rejected all of it.

[j @julia72330]

@FraserBerryFarm i hope and pray it all goes well

[j @julia72330]

@FraserBerryFarm if the theory about allergies being caused by food touching eczema affected skin is true, it makes me wonder whether baby led weaning is not the way to go?

[j @julia72330]

@FraserBerryFarm i would probably just start with really small amounts of any new foods and go slowly. you can try putting something like aquaphor on open skin (esp if she has it on her face) before feeding, but i was never consistent with this...

[j @julia72330]

@FraserBerryFarm but idk, neither of our families have a history of food allergies, so i suppose i might have been more cautious if so

[j @julia72330]

@FraserBerryFarm i think it's recommended to keep allergens away from eczema-affected skin, but i still fed common allergens. fwiw, her eczema got a lot better after she turned 1, and now only exists in a small patch on her arm (oddly enough the same place her father had it as a child)
