It’s a blessing to have many children, but you never know why people have fewer.
Sometimes it’s selfishness/fear, but sometimes it’s secondary infertility or health.
Best to share your own joy at having a large family and change hearts and minds that way.
People who already wish they had more don’t need the lecture.

It bums me out how many families have only two kids. It’s a pandemic! Do they really only believe they can only handle two? What’s up with that? I know the answer; it's a rhetorical question. I think it’s bordering on sin for a couple to limit themselves to having two children, for whatever reason. At best it’s a cliché. We’ve attended a goodly number of churches over the decades, and since I’ve become a full-on natalist it distresses me how many families have two children. I’m not saying all Christian families have to go old school and have ten kids like our ancestors, but as I told a young friend of mine recently and my daughter as well, you will never, ever regret having more children. You get to bring more image bearers of God into the world, and into eternity, to love and nurture and raise. So, young Christian couples, be fruitful and multiply! It’s not a suggestion.

@Richard15322800 @MelanieSent You’re building assumptions into what he said that he didn’t say. Gotta love shaming people for their infertility.
English
@MelanieSent For the vast majority of couples it is a conscious decision that is likely sinful. The minority that have real issues (that bar is a lot higher than your initial assumption) don't change his basic point.
English
I think it’s “bordering on sin” to assume someone who has two kids only has two because they are “limiting” children. lol

@MelanieSent Reading posts like his while dealing with miscarriages 🫠 yes having a medical problem is a sin. Sure.

@AltCulture “Please let me know the time and place so I can reserve the spot on my calendar “ you have to start saying this upfront when they ask you out. Then “I never heard what time and place from you so I made other plans.”if he asks about tomorrow
English
He’s texting me asking if we’re still on for tomorrow. We would have been if he hadn’t texted me three nights before our date asking what my plans were that night. My plan for the night was not being asked about my plans for the night three nights before our plans.
English
@StilNotHavin_It Getting asked out for a certain night then never getting plans for it makes us go insane. As a woman you learn to require actual plans to reserve that evening for a date. We have to know what to wear, bring, time to be ready, etc. normal planning stuff and we can’t at last min.

Why is everyone so cunty and ungenerous these days?

@wtflanksteak Why don’t they just read plays manuscripts? Seems obvious

Finding out people on booktok skip everything but dialogue makes reading 30+ books a year make a lot more sense.

My parents having zero self awareness yesterday talking about how they owned their first house at 25 and had already started a family and then my mom goes “was talking to a friend and she has a 25 year old at 60, could you imagine??”

Have any husbands successfully trained their wifoid to check the fridge before going shopping because we currently have 9 milks, 5 tubs of yogurt, and 3 jars of grillo’s pickles please help my family is dying

@SlumRNA_Dog All I can think of is: does she work outside the home? If she does you can’t really say anything.

I need her angry takes on beautiful, innocent, wholesome children's picture books daily. It feels utopian - like all of the troubles of this world are solved and we are left with nothing of substance to discuss. I like it a lot. A nice brain break.

People are sending me this post to see what my opinion is and are wondering why I'm not responding. Megha blocked me after I mentioned that Peter Pan was a play before a book (playfully - thought we were friendly) and called me a fat, ugly, (other things I'm not comfortable mentioning because we only say "silly goose" here) over PETER PAN - so beware with the caterpillar books, y'all lol. She'll get some big feelings. Tread lightly. 🚨🚨🚨 Okay, my opinion with the caterpillar books - I think both authors make beautiful art and I love them both. Eric Carle's process is really cool. We have a huge collection of both illustrators' books in our home library. The only Very Hungry Caterpillar gripe I have is that I always change it to "chrysalis" at the end after an elderly entomologist at a butterfly house told me to when my son was a baby and she saw him wearing a Very Hungry Caterpillar onesie. Yes, ma'am! 🫡 They're all lovely books. Get them all. ❤️

@DisgracedProp Endometriosis causes infertility though. That’s a measurable harm.

Doctors are really the worst class of people in contemporary life.
I spent first 20ish years of my life with severe chronic health problems, life threatening asthma, stomach issues, allergies etc etc. In the hospital and constantly seeing doctors, always prescribed various pills and sprays to take every day for the rest of my life. They uniformly SWORE up and down that if I didn’t take my asthma inhaler my condition would worsen. And of course they were uniformly completely wrong.
What I realized over time was that the single cure to all of these conditions was to forget they existed. Just find a way to distract myself and have fun, stay in the moment, and, with practice, they slowly but surely all went away.
Solution to 95% of these supposed chronic health conditions, particularly these newly discovered ones, is to rest, have fun, relax the mind, relieve stress by getting stuff done, and resist the urge to intervene medically. The profit motive for chronic condition treatments means overwhelming inertia towards intervention. Fresh diseases with new names are literally advertised to you on TV. Humans are incredibly gullible when it comes to their health. Most doctors will chop you up and use you as a drug guinea pig before ever telling you simply to relax.
When I see people taking this pill and getting that surgery for fibromyalgia or arthritis or Crohn’s disease it’s so obvious that they’re being duped. There’s no cure to any of this stuff because they aren’t diseases. The body is always suffering from something, healing something, getting inflamed, asking for rest. That doesn’t mean you take expensive pills for it every day for life. You should really almost never trust one of today’s doctors, unless in true emergency situations when western medicine still really works.

Examining Kate’s 1% She has suspected endometriosis. This affects at least 1 in 10 women, likely more. Here she’s getting an ultrasound. Historically you needed surgery just to diagnose it (incisions are made in the abdomen). We're doing a non-invasive route. Typically women live with endometriosis for 7-10 years before being diagnosed. It’s the leading reason women aged 30 to 34 get hysterectomies (permanent surgery to entirely remove the uterus). This condition is where endometrial-like tissue starts growing outside the uterus, in ovaries, bowel, bladder, even the diaphragm. This tissue inflames, scars, and glues organs together. Our first step is to find out if @_katetolo has it. Initial measurements we’re doing: + trans vaginal ultrasound + pelvic MRI w and w/o contrast + hormonal labs All during the early part of her cycle to get the clearest picture. During her ultrasound, a slim probe, about the width of two fingers, 10-12 inches long (although only a small portion is inserted) is covered with a protective sheath and lubricant and gently inserted into the vagina (patient has to empty their bladder first). This creates real-time images of the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic structures. While inserted, the probe is turned 90 degrees to evaluate all the various structures, angles and views. There is no radiation exposure. The technician is looking for scarring, ovarian cysts, adhesions, and for organs that are fused together with tissue. This ultrasound can confirm endometriosis but it cannot rule it out. What endo does to the body: + 90% report pelvic pain + 50% report severe fatigue + 26% report infertility. However many sources cite 30 to 50 percent. + 50% experience pain during sex. + Many have pain with ovulation, bowel movements, and urination + Severe bloating called “endo belly” where the abdomen visibly distends There are a handful of theories about why endometriosis develops but the honest answer is no one is quite sure. We’ll keep you posted on her results.

@bryan_johnson @_katetolo This means Kate cannot have kids. I’m very sorry to hear this.

To get a checking account as a citizen you need your drivers license, SSN, DOB, and proof of residence. Apparently, immigration attorneys are skirting that for illegals and think it applies to the rest of us lol

@luinalaska Yep, it’s a tax discount for the big box stores. And they beg you to pay it for them 🫠
English
Never do this unless it’s a local need or a mom & pop store. These big chains make charity donations and then pass this to you by essentially asking if you want to reimburse them for their donation.

@GendoWasRight @BENZOTOOIE Correct. It would be hot but not bleached!
English
@BENZOTOOIE Would it bleach things though? Normal window glass filters most UV out already, and the tint or film they apply to these types of windows removed even more. It's the UV that causes the bleaching, no?

Watched Hey Arnold with the kids.
I know every millennial gushes over Arnold’s room, but skylights like those, this place would be fucking sweltering every single day.
Everything in that room would be sun bleached. Absolute nightmare.
