Just some mum

@Eggplan86509958 @MrsEmmaWebber @NHSNotts Morbid curiosity. Combined with remarkable stupidity and impulsivity, given they know full well there is an audit trail of what files they have opened.

@MrsEmmaWebber @NHSNotts Can anyone shed any light on why they are doing this & at such a high no. I can't get my head around it and I'm genuinely curious. Is it to sell information on the press? Share information on the web or just morbid curiosity. I mean what good is this information to them?

❗️This is appalling. To add…. 150 members of staff at @NHSNotts QMC looked at the records of my son (and of his fellow victims Grace & Ian) following the Nottingham Attack. The vast majority with no legitimate reason. It is subject to an investigation by a VERY reluctant NHS that was only undertaken in full as a result of our insistence. It has been a drawn out, heartbreaking and exhausting process, with no resolution or results in sight. Adding unforgivable trauma to all families. How much more can our agencies fail. #shameful @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk @GOVUK @Telegraph

@shryseals1959 @SummrWrites Amazing work!

@SummrWrites Just made this for my son. Yarn alone $100. 15 minutes per row because of color changes and tangled yarn. Over 60 hours .

No bestie, you cannot pay me to crochet something for you. First of all, the yarn for that project costs $50. It’s going to take 60 hours to complete. If you’re offering me minimum wage (but I’ve been doing this for years so really?), 60 x $15.15 = $909 + cost of yarn = $959 That blanket is gonna run you almost $1,000. 😅 And that is why you cannot find real crocheted items in stores. And why you should hug your grandmama when she crochets something for you.

@LadyNimby @papistlurker Yeah her tone is pretty annoying. It was sortof what I needed though, I needed a kick up the butt to get started and stop finding excuses to keep waiting.

@papistlurker We did the oh crap! Method at first but ended up having success with rewards for poop withholding so it was a mix. But as annoying as the author was, oh crap was a good starting point. I listened to the audiobook on runs

Agreed to take cousin’s kid to the zoo before I remembered he’s 3.5 and still pooping in diapers and honestly I’m not sure I’m ready for that 😭 he’s bigger than my 4yo Not an indictment on their potty training, I just personally have never changed a diaper on anyone much over 2 It feels like changing a grown man

@papistlurker @LadyNimby Jamie Glowacki. The book is a quick read, available on amazon etc. Agree it’s a good way to get started, as with any “method” you don’t have to follow it to the letter if it’s not sitting right.

@LadyNimby Who is the author?

@Twitchyichabod @wirmgurl (to be clear I agree “no second hand anything” is a crazy rule)

@Twitchyichabod @wirmgurl Maybe fear of mould spores? Or for eg a stroller or carseat, the obscure possibility that it’s broken/unsafe in some way that can’t be seen on visual inspection.

The worst parent I know was so careful and diligent when her children were babies. Stayed at home, exclusive breastfeeding, no cry-it-out, everything organic, nothing second hand etc.

@mrsdobbins_ For me it’s OTC medication overdose (accidental or deliberate). Our paracetamol is in a lockbox on a high shelf, regular medicine cabinet was not enough for my nerves.

Every parent has had certain lived experiences that cause them to be hyperactive about a niche danger. Maybe because of something you experienced, your parents/grandparents experienced, or your career taught you. Except now as a parent, you are exposed to the niche danger fears of nearly everyone in the entire world. You will scroll social media and see 80 different ways your child can die or harm themselves or set themselves back. “As a nutritionist, here are 6 foods I would NEVER let my child eat” “as a speech language pathologist, here are 3 signs that your child is behind” “as an ER doctor of 15 years, here are the top 10 things I would never let my child play with” “my nephew drowned, here’s what I learned about outdoor safety” and that’s all in 35 seconds worth of clips. Pretty wild.

@HannahWardEdu @ThymeToBeBorn Was gonna say advocate to his school for acceleration, either in maths alone or skipping whole grade/s if performance in other subjects is similarly excellent.

My son, 11, just scored in the 97th percentile in math for 12th graders and maxed out the language arts portion. What do I do about this? I have a lot of little kids, can't focus on anything with him, live in the middle of nowhere, and can't leave the house.

@Utterly_Jean Lolol thought of that when I saw that post. The kind of person who would be attracted to that offer is potentially not the kind of person you want in the role. Would need very careful vetting, but if you’re not paying what leverage do you have to demand any vetting at all?

I know someone who is always looking for ways to gain access to kids and would jump at an opportunity like this.😬😬😬

@ThymeToBeBorn Yeah it seems to involve weighing up moderate frequency low severity risks (less optimal microbiome, maybe more difficulty initiating breastfeeding), vs low frequency catastrophic severity (brain injury, child disabled for life). I know which way I’d swing.

Say your baseline odds of neonatal mortality/brain injury are 1/1000, but now suddenly you have a condition where it's 1/20. That means a lot of counterfactuals where you delivered vaginally and everything was fine! But still modern med does the 20 C sections! Honestly, feels mostly worth it.

@EdwinaPJones @ThymeToBeBorn It’s a fair thing to weigh this up, but if in their efforts to avoid a section they end up with a brain damaged baby I suspect many families would stop having kids earlier than planned.

@ThymeToBeBorn It partly depends on how many kids you think you may have. More than 4 c-sections and the risks get really high, especially maternal mortality…

@alt1na1 Absolutely criminal. Fourth pregnancy rn and my bump was all cute and trim like that at maybe 12 weeks. 16 weeks and I’m already a big ol bloated seal.

39 weeks 5 days EXCUSE ME

@ShooFlyDBM @HumanityChad She may not have known she wanted it. A stunt double might be on set with other cast members more often than the actor they’re doubling for.

@HumanityChad So Liv didn't buy her the horse ?

When filming of The Lord of the Rings wrapped 25 years ago, the horses used for the films were auctioned off. Liv Tyler's stunt double, Jane Abbott couldn't afford to buy the horse she worked with (and fell in love with), so Viggo Mortensen bought it for her. "He just did it because he understood."

@kbrie_ @SeafoamVenusian @chlosiphus It didn’t help that we were in a rental at the time with flimsy fixtures etc and not permitted to do things like anchor furniture to the walls. If you can really baby proof to the nth degree that would help.

@kbrie_ @SeafoamVenusian @chlosiphus Sortof? No sharpies or firearms within reach obvs but some kids create havoc with innocuous stuff. My 2 year old used a couple hardcover books as a battering ram with enough force to damage his bedroom door.

I’m confused by this question let them play or eat or watch tv or something are we staying with 3 year olds 24/7

@cljack I don’t think of myself as being someone that attached to manners but tbh this bothers me. “[first name]!!! Come here!” yelled across the yard by neighbour kid, don’t even know what’s happened yet but I’m already p’d off.

When some kid I barely know casually addresses me by first name

@mom_of_littles Yeah I just try to change the topic. Another family member thinks MIL may have the early stages of dementia (sorry not enough room for that relevant context in OP lol), so I try not take it all too literally.

@theskepticalSW Oh that’s so tough too. I don’t know how to handle any of it either. Prob just try to shut it down as soon as it starts? 😩

My MIL is extremely volatile and my husband is always on the receiving end of it and it fills me with extreme rage

@emilykmay Oh oh you’re in for a treat.

ok i am now watching girls for the first time.
