As a parent and grand parent, one thing. THEY DON'T COME WITH A OWNERS MANUAL.

Another thing, two kids are never the same.

Love this.

Why are people giving kids a reason to isolate themselves?

But now that it's done and he's already healed, it's no big deal. I think my biggest concern was the pain and trauma of it, but apparently the methods vary from doctor to doctor, and ours used lidocaine injections


I first read that as iocaine injections.

I know, it's inconceivable.

Mines simple.

If you hate your kids, give them everything they want.

The misery this will inflict on their life is incalculable.

Yes, do not put your kids in headlocks.

Because they can wiggle out. Go with a figure four leg lock or a Crippler Crossface if you want to be effective.

I can't say I'm extreme on anything. I am VERY pro breastfeeding. I do understand that it's not possible or very difficult for some women, but just not doing so because "it hurts" or "I don't have the time" those aren't reasonable excuses. Bitch, you just pushed an entire human being out of your vagina, some chapped nipples are the least of your troubles.

All good points except the grocery store thing. 5 people in a grocery store is completely unnecessary unless unavoidable. Grocery shopping is not only a chore for you, but also a chore for the people around you. Nothing worse than being unable to even enter the aisle you need because a family made a vacation out of going to the grocery store.


Lol
I hope that you are able to find peace after the trauma of having to wait a second to enter an aisle.

Lucky for you, since you don't have anyone to support you can probably avoid WalMart and all the big families who can't afford Whole Foods.

Maybe I was thinking of it through the lens of having just one child. But I can see your point. I took mine by myself to the store plenty of times, but that was mostly to Target where there are literally 10 people in the store at 8 AM. Young parent, get up early, make sure you can get out of everyone's way...I thought this through .

As a normal parent, this is usually unavoidable and as much a pain in my arse as it is yours. No, more a pain in my arse than yours. I can't speak for those weirdo home school people.

eating fruit and drinking fruit juice are different things

fruit juice is nothing but sugar, at least when you eat it you still get the starches and fibers and whatnot

I don't give my daughter fruit juice either
