@bprintco They’re gonna have to literally help him get through withdrawals. Probably need to take him camping where there’s no wifi or like go to a real summer camp with other real children

Unfortunately true. Took our 6 yo nephew to lunch one day and his nose was in his tablet the whole time. When we sat down for lunch I had to say his name 5 times to get his attention and I asked him “Hey bud, do you know where you are or what we’re doing?” He looks around and says “nope”. Then went right back to his tablet. He has the attention span of a goldfish. His parents try to take it away sometimes and it’s like they unleashed a demon. He also has eating issues and is too skinny and won’t eat because he can’t look away. Just like a drug addict. The videos he watches are some serious brain rot stuff too. He’s more interested in watching videos of other kids play with toys than he is playing with his own toys.

@NotBlindfolded @abbythelibb_ But not for too long!

@abbythelibb_ The safest thing for your baby is to NEVER hold them and ABSOLUTELY NEVER let anyone else hold them; just keep them in a car seat with a safety helmet at all times!!

I've now been told multiple times that my child might die if I take a walk at the park with this setup (which I do), looking directly at him (objectively safer than using the seat in the car). People who say this stuff are thoughtless and cruel. Safetyism is a cancer.

@MrsCathComedy Not my house but my aunt’s. When we have had lots of guests we’ve done breakfast casseroles, usually an egg based one and like a croissant based one or something like that

@PBandChelsea Do you have a ton of guests over on Easter Morning?

I don't get Easter breakfast. Unless you are going to a super early Mass, how are you cooking a big Easter breakfast? We have to go to the 11 because church is 45 minutes away and we have farm chores beforehand. What is your secret?

@MrsCathComedy Is this not normal? Guys? Guys???

@Strangeland_Elf Every time I make it ppl lose their ever loving minds

I have a bunch of brown bananas so I should make banana bread but I want to make something slightly more creative than banana bread. 😩

@Strangeland_Elf Search double chocolate banana bread on Pinterest or Google

@roikfbuwgc254 It’ll be great! Also goes well on pizza and as a dip for French fries

Abortion is an absolute no go for me and I have had the thought and brief conversation with my husband before that if our child were to be born with a life limiting diagnosis then so be it. Is it easy? No. But sometimes God calls you to something you never imagined you'd ever have to face and we may never understand why.

@mamavestor @Elliesmommyy23 Through raising their kids, and unfortunately sometimes through losing them when the syndrome truly is life threatening. But I don’t think tragedies necessitate more tragedies, and that mom doesn’t need more pain inflicted by a needless choice that’s all

@PBandChelsea @Elliesmommyy23 I feel like those are the kind of responses that get people to stop and think about things. I hope that mom gets more responses like yours and less ones filled with hate. What miracles have we not given ourselves an opportunity to see? Super powerful thank you

“Hey loss moms, I’m going to kill my baby but I don’t know what method is better because I wanna hold her lifeless body cuz it’s probly not a good idea she gets torn apart, help”

@mamavestor @Elliesmommyy23 For me- the kids who doctors said wouldn’t survive, walk/talk. They can and do. They give their parents purpose and teach us lessons we might not otherwise learn. I’ve seen parents start foundations bc of their children and parents who support each other

@mamavestor @Elliesmommyy23 Yeah I can only imagine how hard that is. I just think there are miracles every day and if we have faith we may have the privilege of witnessing them. Congratulations on your third I hope everything goes well!

That’s amazing work that you! For me I admit I would have to consider how high risk my pregnancy was and my current living children and the probability of survival. I’m 40 weeks now with my third child and pregnancy and birth comes with its own risks. Definitely currently dealing with my own anxiety around birth now, I definitely have a lot of empathy for a mom who would come to this same point knowing their child did not have a good chance to make it. A pain I don’t think I can come close to imagining

@BeckyTheChicken Tbh I’d buy it

Phone kept autocorrecting “Graco” stroller to “Greco” stroller.

@Elliesmommyy23 @mamavestor Yeah maybe but I wonder if there’s anyone in most women’s lives telling them to choose the harder path? Also do comments take a minute bc I can’t find mine on the thread

@PBandChelsea @mamavestor I mean I’m sure it’s what she wants too

@Elliesmommyy23 I might get banned too who knows

@PBandChelsea I appreciate you. I was banned on that sub

@Elliesmommyy23 @mamavestor Google says 95% or so life to 5 so I think her doctors are scaring her into this unless she isn’t sharing other info

@PBandChelsea @mamavestor Which is what most TFMR is. Thank you for doing the research

@mamavestor @Elliesmommyy23 Even if it was a zero chance I personally would choose life still. We don’t know God’s plan. And I work with disabled kids and I couldn’t imagine deciding any of their lives weren’t worth living!

@PBandChelsea @Elliesmommyy23 The emphasis for me would have to be on the zero chance. Or more accurately probably less than 1%. Even with low survival odds I would want to try and give my baby a chance

@mamavestor @Elliesmommyy23 But from my quick research it’s not a death sentence syndrome and most children do live. This lady is basically choosing to end the life of a child bc they would be different, whether she knows it or not and that’s really sad. It’s eugenics.

@Elliesmommyy23 Genuinely curious, what do you think is the moral thing to do here? Carry the baby to term and give birth? Even with zero chance of the child surviving outside the womb?

@mamavestor @Elliesmommyy23 It’s always possible that children can live. Not only that, but children with syndromes are often given low chances and often beat the odds. This child likely wouldn’t cognitively disabled either, but would look different from normal children and likely have some health issues
