@shannonical @Romy_Holland 🤣🤣 kids are so funny. We had a sleep regression and I brought our 18-month old into our bed at 2 am. That lasted maybe 20 minutes before he very confidently pointed toward the door. Well, alrighty then. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@TayTalksMoney @Romy_Holland Same same with my middle. Before sleep training we were hardly quietly cuddling in the dark. Now she sleeps through the night, and still doesn’t even tolerate a lullaby. She’s like, mom stop. Put me to bed. 😆

it’s strange how sleep training opponents always make the exact same claim that it’s bad because it “traumatizes your baby into learning that their cries will be ignored.” this is plainly testable—it would be profoundly apparent if it were true. post-ferber babies would cry way less than other babies or maybe not at all. they’d show all sorts of signs of trauma like failure to respond to caregivers, poor weight gain, etc. but nothing like this happens. the only change is that they happily fall asleep independently. my baby still cries at 4am for food many nights, and we feed him. he cries when he’s bored or tired or wants affection. he knows he’ll quickly get what he wants and that crying is a highly effective way to communicate. if a few minutes of crying were traumatizing, things like cars and baths would be extremely bad for many babies. but nobody claims that the 20 minute drive to the grocery store is gonna turn your kid into a russian orphanage trauma case. the most frustrating part of mom discourse is that it feels like there’s a huge group of people just saying things that they’ve heard other people say and that feel good to repeat, but they aren’t thinking about what these things really mean. a bunch of stuff is being memed into existence and it just isn’t true, and it’s damaging to the vulnerable parents who desperately want to do the right thing and happen to hear this bad advice.

@buitengebieden Is this not AI? The person holding the leash has odd fingers.

He finally found his missing dog at a shelter.. 🥺

@DrPlantel Few doctors show empathy. After placental abruption and pp preclampsia I was turned away or made to feel like an idiot many times at follow ups. In some cases, over hearing things like “this isn’t my problem” with bp readings of 180/110+. Why go into medicine with this attitude?

The number of people who believe doctors “hate” patients is heartbreaking. No one goes into medicine because they despise patients, what a vile assumption. Are doctors perfect? No. We are human. We make mistakes. Many of us are stretched thin. But at our core, many of us are here because we care, deeply. We know that many people have been failed by the healthcare system. We understand that frustration; many of us are patients too. But it is devastating to see that pain exploited by those selling grift, conspiracy, and false hope. I will never stop calling that out. If you’ve made up your mind that doctors don’t care, that truly saddens me. Because most of us are doing our very best to fight for our patients every single day.

@washghost1 Yet another confirmation that the medical profession seems to attract some of the best and worst people in the world. No in between.

Does professionalism not exist anymore

Anyone know of a podcast that does scam investigations? I may have accidently uncovered the next fyre fest via a rental scam. 😅 someone help me investigate this!

@StephStradley @dom_lucre 🤣🤣 this is so funny and smart. We’ve called an uber to pick up something we forgot 😅super convenient

@dom_lucre That happened to me on a roof of a rental. Nobody knows how. We found out late on July 4th watching fireworks. Ended up calling an Uber, just to get the driver to open the door. 😂

I am currently locked outside my home on my balcony because my dog jumped up and locked the door on me. I can’t believe this is happening to me I am in the sky and have no way down.

@thisisrory I feel seen with the talk about playground parents. 😅 insufferable and catty. By far my least favorite thing about parenting is playground dynamics.

Totally done this 🥴 turning into a “road” and realizing it’s not. Mortifying 😭

Yep. It still works.

@Money_Chronicle Not this exact story but I remember the company and if it hasn’t happened already, all of the loans for students who attended the school will likely be next up in the forgiveness train.

@TayTalksMoney Do you remember that story?

I was working at the TV university. They wanted me to call students and register them for classes. These students hadn't passed a class in 2 or more semesters. The TV school didn't care. They just wanted the money. I questioned it and was fired in a couple of months.
