@thisisgabturner @thecavemommy Does the kid need to breast nurtured in a restaurant at that age? Can't the mom set boundaries? He's not a baby.

@thecavemommy I breastfed my first for 3.5 years, second 6 months. It depends on what nurturing the child needs. Stop focussing on breasts and focus on the child.
English
This video went around last year and I just can’t get over how big the kid is 😭😭😭 I’m sorry y’all can hate me and do as you please but it always throws me off when people breastfeed 3 year olds
“They’ve been doing it since the dawn of time” okay that’s great, it’s 2026 now! We aren’t starving anymore! You don’t need to breastfeed your 3 year old in public and show the whole world your boob your child WILL NOT STARVE HE IS 3 😂😭 Give him some actual FOOD

This woman’s receiving backlash for breastfeeding her (kind of old) child inside a restaurant on Mother’s Day, where other patrons were also trying to enjoy their Mother’s Day and meals with loved ones. What do you think? Did she deserve the backlash?

@TheBlackHorse65 Boomers, especially white ones, were heavily fed the nuclear family propaganda, which eschewed multigenerational living and the benefits of the extended family. The nuclear family was all about consumption.
English
At an objective level;
When I was a child, I stayed at my grandparents place at least two weeks out of the year, and my grandmother picked me up from school about 25% of the time. This was historically normal.
Almost all Boomer grandparents have almost totally neglected this.

Boomers don't want to hear this, but one of the (many) reasons why my generation isn't having as many kids? A lot of millennials feel they can't depend on their parents for help the way they saw their own grandparents pitch in when they were growing up

I’m very confused about the number of people who think “property tax” is a sales tax on you home rather than taxes to pay for public services you use every day.
“I paid off my home why do i still pay property taxes?!?!?”
Oh, did you also stop using the roads and libraries and sidewalks and parks? Not worried about fires anymore?

@babybeginner @youknowimcoco She's not a stripper. Pole dancing is a form of fitness.
English
@youknowimcoco I mean instantly turned off by the idea of a stripper doing a pole dance on a big show like this.
English
Ok. So you hear this woman is going to do a pole dancing routine and you’re instantly turned off. But then…
wait for it.
I promise.
Trust me.
This is worth watching. You have learned to trust me by now. Right?

@DescendingChime @kimigwilson @mom_of_littles Pointing out behavior is good. It's not Complaining. Would it be better if school staff ignored children? Schools can't demand testing. That's not their role.
English
@PuckLuck1 @kimigwilson @mom_of_littles Public schools complain to the parents and demand testing for ADHD.
English
Son is displaying some pretty severe ADHD behavior along with his sensory processing stuff. Pediatrician gave me an evaluation to fill out. Nurse called me back today. Here’s how the convo went.
Nurse (super nice): so Dr said it does look like he’s showing some early signs of ADHD. Dr wants to repeat the evaluation in November after he starts school so the teacher can get to know him and fill out the eval.
Me: okay and what if we’re homeschooling?
Nurse (super rude): uh. IS that what you’re doing?
Me: yeah that’s why I said that
Nurse (even more rude): okay well if that’s the case then this (the ADHD) doesn’t even matter
Me: …….
Like what the heck?? Does ADHD only affect kids negatively when they’re in public school? I hung up the phone after she said that.
English
@yoalexrapz He was dying. Let him indulge. Policing someone's diet while they're dying is just shitty.
English
When my dad was dying and in the hospital for a brain tumor the nurses were bringing him orange Fanta non stop. I had to intervene and asked if they thought water might be better instead since he was having surgery for BRAIN CANCER the next morning. They said, “Your daughter has a great idea Mr. Clark!” Why in the world did I even have to say that? He’s dead now by way.

RFK Jr. just shared that hospitals were giving diabetics foods like Jell-O and Coca-Cola that worsen their condition. “A diabetic woman… was immediately offered… a Jell-O and a Coca-Cola.” “And a number of other foods that all contain sugar that are all gonna injure their metabolic system and aggravate their diabetes.” “We have the best doctors… and the finest hospitals in the world.” “But… they haven’t recognized the most important tool of medicine today is good food.”
English

To be clear, I'm not saying ADHD isn't a real concern. I think it is over diagnosed in public school systems due to childless teachers that can't differentiate between boys and girls. That is likely why you're getting the weird response from the nurse.
The combination of sensory and ADHD symptoms in your boy points to a higher likelihood he is in fact autistic. Test for that and get him on leucovorine. Vitamin B9 in a form his brain can get even if he has the MTHFR gene mutation, virtually no side effects since it is a vitamin with a different brain delivery mechanism.

@TheLaurenChen This is primarily a white person problem. The nuclear family idea was pushed on people post WWII. People started living in separate homes, which meant more consumption. They started eschewing multigenerational living and the benefits of extended families.

@cinemaxwell By "supporting transphobic policies and organization", you mean supporting policies and organizations that are for females.
English
Rowling is alive and actively donating the proceeds of her books to supporting transphobic policies and organization.
Lewis and Tolkien are dead. Plus, being Christian doesn’t inherently mean you’re transphobic.
Hope that helps!
Ian Harber@ianharber
Cancelling Harry Potter because of Rowling but remaking/doing spin offs of Narnia and LOTR despite Lewis and Tolkien being two of the most prominent Christian figures of the last century who undoubtedly share Rowling’s views she’s been cancelled for. Make it make sense.

@thecavemommy Men won't spend their years picking up socks after their wives.
English
You guys can actually just pick up your husbands socks. It’s not a huge deal.
Both people can just do things that need to be done if they see it needs to be done. He also can pick up your socks too.
jezz@ABmrJutt
Nana , age 101: Why aren’t you married? Me, age 27: Because I don’t want to spend my life picking up a man’s dirty socks. Nana: Then don’t pick them up.

@GeoRebekah The pics of the women, especially Susan Dell & Kimberly Guilfoyle are like 25-30 yrs apart. Have they had work done, clearly, but they've also aged. It does look like Gaetz & Bezos wife have had a little nip tuck recently and some injections, but they both have aged as well.

If there are any academics who study body dysmorphia on this site, I'd like to chat with you about this phenomena.
Most of these women were pretty before they did this.
Why are these women doing this to their faces and bodies???

@chutneylife Starbucks is a brand. You don't need anything Starbucks to survive.

A gallon of gas is $5 and a gallon of Starbucks coffee is $30.
Yet, no one is complaining about the cost of coffee.

@phortuenti @cenkuygur @gaijingirl2004 @PramilaJayapal @brhodes There were primaries in 2024. You just don't understand civics.

@cenkuygur @gaijingirl2004 @PramilaJayapal @brhodes They took away their own primaries to ensure the policy would continue if she won.

I warned Biden and Harris directly: Our silence on Gaza was morally, legally, and politically wrong.
We were told it wasn't in the data. That wasn't strategy – it was risk aversion dressed up as wisdom.
Democrats cannot make that same mistake again this midterm season.

Spoke with a couple from Columbus, OH.
They paid $280k for a home in 2020 & that home is now $475,000.
They got a 30 year, 3.75% mortgage.
They now have 2 kids, need more space but a new home doubles their housing costs.
...They're trapped & millions are in this situation.
English
Has conventional wisdom changed? Would what my parents did now be considered 'bad parenting'? Or was that always a reactionary thing to do? I get it's different when they're really little, but I can't help but think it puts enormous stress on already sleep-deprived parents
English
I've noticed amongst friends who have little kids that they are basically forced into waking up when they do. When I was little I remember v clearly knowing that we shouldn't go and wake parents until at least 9am on a weekend, and generally entertaining ourselves in the morning
English
@ukachukwuchinwe @thecavemommy If you need to use food banks or get government subsidies, you cant afford more kids.
English
@PuckLuck1 @thecavemommy Its not. Who defines affordability especially as its a relative thing. No one tells rich people to have more because they can afford to.
You see.
Also, people know how fsr beyond they cant go, they dont need to be told
English
In my opinion it just gets a little weird when at the preteen age boys and girls are sharing a room.
I think it’s fine for kids to share rooms - but it needs to be split by gender unless there’s a significant age gap. If you can’t afford a three bedroom house you can’t afford to be fertility-maxxing.

I’m doing my part to solve the fertility crisis. Saw this, thought I would prove it to you. Four kids - one room.
