I'd like to note that a 9 month old's monthly milestones ARE saying "ma", and learning princer grasp, and shaking their head when they mean no. This baby isnt delayed, thats literally just a 9 month old being, you guessed it, a developing infant!
No fr!! I just took 30 seconds to see when kids start using real words and it’s like a year+. The baby saying “ma” is perfectly normal, what is that mom all about??
grew up in a developing country, and i’ve had the misfortune of witnessing what infectious diseases can do to people in my local community. i know so many parents who’d take their kids on 20-something mile motorcycle rides on rough terrain through multiple towns just to get them vaccinated. as a microbiologist, i cringe to hear that certain American parents are so neck deep in privilege that they’re willing to deny their children lifesaving preventive care.
These privileged people would rather put their kids at risk of permanent injury or death than "become autistic". It's super ableist and becoming autistic from vaccines is wildly untrue.
My uncle said "Real men don't wear makeup." to my cousin once. I pointed out every male movie star, theatre star, cosplayer and just about any male performer and told him that they all wear makeup. I asked my uncle if he felt that Dwayne Johnson, Steven Seagal, Sylvester Stallone or any other "masculine icon" performer out there didn't count as 'real men' cause they have worn and wear makeup. His silence was beautiful.
It's not like there were time periods where rich people thought unmade-up lower classes of any gender where ill bred filth. No lie, heels were made for men too!
The Rock was in an episode of Hannah Montana where she puts him in a wig and does his makeup for a paparazzi shot. He currently has videos of him online of his child doing his makeup. He is still one of the most macho men in the industry, for sure. He's such a perfect example for this
Here's the thing. If you choose to give birth at home and then bring your baby to the hospital because they're having trouble breathing, YOU ARE NOT THE PATIENT. The chair/bed setup sounds like standard accomodations for a parent staying the night with their child in the hospital. The doctors and nurses aren't worried about your nutrition because you are not their patient. If you had given birth in the hospital, you would be a patient.
@@moiraslater8526That's because your intention was to give birth to a hospital, meanwhile she decided to give birth without any medical supervision and the reason for hospitalization was breathing issues of a newborn child, not health concerns with someone who just birthed the day before
I feel bad for the baby being refused antibiotics. You just know that if something happens to that child, the mother is going to go on a social media crusade about how the doctors killed her baby
I feel bad for both baby and her. When she eventually realises how insane this is and gets out of this antivaxx Facebook echo chamber, she will blame herself for YEARS when baby ends up with permanent damage or worse. Rightfully so, but still
@@justaperson4656it pisses me off that people like that are allowed to take a baby home with them.. we really need to protect babies from parents like this and all form of wing nut parents that see their children as their possessions to control and neglect. This damn society wonders why we keep finding kids chained up in dog kennels that have been “homeschooled”.. it’s sick that the normal people have not called for more oversight and protection for helpless kids
I work at a hospital and we literally JUST had a 5 day old baby who passed from cardiac arrest because the mom decline vitamin K vaccine.. insanely sad.
are there charges pressed for cases like that? Cause I was involved in the care of a little boy once who's parents weren't giving him his diabetes medicine and he almost died. That child got removed from the family and the parents charged with child endangerment and abuse.
I remember a youtuber (it was so long ago I can't remember the exact one anymore) discussing a case where a newborn baby literally had a brain bleed and died because his parents were anti-vaxxers and refused the vitamin K shot, and the parents blamed everyone but themselves for it. It's horrifying to think that you can refuse something like that that can stop an easily preventable death.
Just a clarification - Vitamin K isn't even a vaccine. It's just a vitamin - like a Flinstones gummy. Nothing more complicated than that, but it's absolutely critical for health. So sad that misinformation kills kids. I'm a pediatrician, for context.
I have a father like this and it completely obliterated my childhood. It got to a point where my siblings and I had to agree with everything he said, just so he didn't think we were "taken by the devil". Absolute batshit crazy. Since moving out, none of us have been back to visit him. So to the parents who act like this... YOUR KIDS ARE SCARED OF YOU!!
For being so Christian, they are super obsessed with the devil to the point where they think about the devil more than God. Also arent Christians supposed to put their "trust in the Lord"? Doesnt sound like they feel like they can rely on their God, ie arent true believers.
If you go overboard on calling everything satanic and evil and try to keep everything from your kids they’re gonna get real curious and seek that shit out, while hiding from you. It does absolutely no good. If your kid is old enough to understand the difference between fiction and reality, they can understand that waving a wand around is just playing and not cause them to turn around and try summoning a demon.
yeah same. only my youngest sister (there are 5 of us altogether all girls too lol) is still in contact w them bc she’s so brainwashed by them. she’s the only one still in church, is 21 still doesn’t have a drivers license has never had a job and doesn’t ever want to work she’s just a stay at home wife (got married to the only guy she’s ever dated and yes he’s a “christian” too) and literally got pregnant bc she’s bored and lonely bc her husband barely spends any time with her as it is but she’s gonna have a rude awakening when she’s caring for the baby all by herself and she realizes she can’t be selfish anymore. (she’s literally one of the most lazy & selfish people i know. i would ask her if she could babysit my kids being a single mom working two jobs and finishing college and she would say no just bc she didn’t want to ? yet she wants her own kids??) but me and my older sisters rarely talk to our parents.
And the funny thing is that 1. Witchcraft is a practice, not a religion, and most witches don’t even deal with demons, let alone the Devil 2. Most Satanists don’t even worship satan- Like I swear, they are so uneducated 🥲
That lady gave birth AT HOME and is so annoyed w the fact that her baby needs antibiotics and extra care because she decided to give birth in a barn or wherever
Without a wet nurse too. She said it was just her husband. What if she had complications and bleed out? How sanitary was the birthing area? There are so many things to considering that home birth Without any perfessionals is insane
As someone who was medically neglected as a child I CANNOT BELIEVE this medical neglect started from the MOMENT OF CONCEPTION with absolutely no prenatal care and a complete home birth with no professional supervision is WILD.
I'm literally picturing this lady living in a yurt in the middle of the Arizona desert, because I can't believe how someone in this modern day could live so isolated myself.
I’m sorry for your neglect. Also people were born at home for millennia. It’s fairly recent that giving birth has become medicalized. I wouldn’t call a home birth neglect.
@@annie.hi. it's not about the home birth. It's about the refusal to get any prenatal appointments or let the Drs do anything to ensure the home birth was safe for her and her baby.
@@AngelA-ws7qn at prenatal visits they listen to the heartbeat and ask you questions. If she is experienced at giving birth at home, and who knows, maybe even a midwife herself, she likely didn’t need it. It kind of sounds to me like she chose to stay at home because she didn’t want her birth medicalized and she knows what is necessary and what’s not. At the hospital they were freaking out because she had the baby at home and trying to overcompensate, offering all the things that were the reason she didn’t want to go to the hospital in the first place. It sounds like she was annoyed that they were keeping her baby away from her and bottle feeding it, which was hindering the natural connection that should be taking place right after birth between mother and child. I’m not against doctors and I do go to them, trust them, and listen to their advice and experience, but we also shouldnt trust a for profit medical system (like in the US) implicitly. I had a hospital birth and a home birth. The entire home birth process was way more comfortable than the hospital.
@@annie.hi. Yes, and the infant/maternal mortality rate was a lot higher for millennia as a result. It is perfectly safe to have a home birth only after you've consulted professionals to make sure it's a safe option for you, and typically you have a midwife or doula present just in case something goes wrong. This lady didn't even do the bare minimum and her child is dying as a result, so this is neglect.
I dont think there is a single legit religious sect that disavows vaccines anymore. These people are in the IBLP or some other cult. It should definitely be considered medical neglect.
As long as it’s specified that kids that can’t get the vaccines won’t get taken away by cps. Eg, if the kid is allergic or there’s another valid reason why it can’t get vaccinated
thank christian science! Knowing Better has a wonderful video about how this group of crazy people has grown and become the lobbying juggernaut for “parental rights” it is today
There are reasons not to do certain vaccines. My daughter had a rare intestinal illness that happened not long after a vaccination. The follow up vaccines were then contraindicated for her. We chose not to get it with my younger daughter because of what happened with my older one. She was more likely to have the intestinal issue that can be triggered by this vaccine. So while I think they should be highly highly encouraged, there have to be some exceptions for everything.
@@Meow4B The mom in that story mentioned that she was pretty sure she tore and that she was in pain. If her baby was that large and breach (head last) then she could have torn severely.
What makes me most sad is how so many of these stories are a clear result of religion and a lack of proper education. These women were convinced that their worth is based off of a "god" so they have no real sense of self worth beyond breeding. They have babies to fill that role and then raising them with the same lack of knowledge they were previously raised with.
That's why I hate religion. I strongly feel that we would be so much better off and way more advanced as a species if religion never existed. I couldn't help but roll my eyes to some of these because they were ridiculous, especially the one calling Dora The Explorer "witchcraft" and shaming a fucking small child for something completely natural and developmentally normal because all kids explore their bodies and touch their genitals. I did at that age too. Some of these mothers need to get over themselves. Imagine being so brainwashed with fear, you're afraid of kids shows and kids doing normal kid shit. 🤣
@@jessicaK_wolfspirit00You are, probably, incorrect about human advancement. Much of science was discovered as an attempt to prove, disprove, or understand god(s). I'm not a big fan of organized religion, but it has, and still does occasionally, served a purpose.
24:09 This is the only one I feel a bit of sympathy for. When my son was a baby he just WOULD NOT gain weight. Even after he started eating solids, we tried everything and he was still tiny. He ate a lot, on some days more than his 2 year old sister. We bought him his own set of groceries - full fat yogurt, nut butters, protein, anything we could to get some weight on him. We saw a nutritionist and tracked everything he ate. We saw his pediatrician almost weekly for weigh-ins. I supplemented breast milk with formula and pumped constantly to increase my supply. He was still just 12 pounds on his first birthday and I felt like a failure as a mother. Every time the doctor weighed him and he hadn’t gained weight I almost broke down crying. He was otherwise healthy, no stomach issues or underlying health conditions. No one could figure out why he wasn’t gaining. Eventually he just sort of…grew out of it (literally). By 2 he was a normal weight and he’s now a perfectly healthy 4 year old. But at the time it felt like an insurmountable problem, and not one I could fix by “just feed him more”. I still don’t know what caused it, but I feel for the mom in that screenshot. “Failure to thrive” is loaded language that makes already isolated and exhausted new moms feel like shit.
My daughter is this same way, as I am. She's about 65 pounds at almost 11. When I was her age I was a little less. When she was younger, she didn't go past 25 pounds until she was almost 3. She was eating table food around 4 months old, with formula and cereal. She was about 11 pounds at birth. I myself have never been over 150 and I was at 150 the day she was born. When I was a teenager and even today I am accused of eating disorders all the time. Sometimes the baby is small naturally, sometimes it's something else. You take these cases case by case, not a blanket treatment.
I had the same issue when I was a baby. I was gaining weight, but was significantly smaller than a typical baby of my age through all the stages despite the fact that I was eating well. Honestly, since both my parents are extremely small and were also very small babies, I have wondered if it was just genetic, and I can see how that label would be upsetting if you're already feeding your baby as much as they'll eat.
yeah, it felt kinda weird that kiwi jumped straight to "she's starving her baby, she needs to go to jail!" like that could def be the case but maybe there's something wrong and it's not her fault, and if that is the case i feel for her, if she refused to add more calories to the formula i would get being upset but it genuinely just sounds like she's trying and doesn't know what to do and is upset because she feels like she's not a good mom. i'm not a mother so i don't know, but that's what i saw when i heard the story.
I did not have this issue personally but I have a friend who did. It was so rough for her! She felt like she was doing something wrong but she was going above and beyond!
I agree, as a breastfeeding momma for SURE. At her 1 week checkup, my daughter had lost 10.3% of her body weight. She was born at 9lbs 13oz and went down to about 8lbs 11oz. So not a small baby at all, but she had lost more than the usual 7%-10% which, yes, can be cause for concern. They told me I HAD to start formula (no other options), even though I was seeing a lactation consultant who wasn't concerned with my milk supply as it had just kicked in. I started exclusively pumping and feeding my baby bottles bc I was so anxious about her intake. Turns out, she just needed another couple of days to kick back up in weight and for my milk to fully come in. So she never actually needed the formula, and I got stuck pumping 70oz of milk a day 😅 every baby is different and sometimes babies are on their own personal curve and that's okay!!!
I was so confused when the mom that wanted to circumsize her child against the wishes of her husband brought up the fact that her husband was pro vaccines. Like, are you trying to make the argument that he cares about his son's health and well being, so that's why he's pro vax and anti circumcision? Like what?
no she's trying to explain that it's weird that her husband would be against a medical practice that could improve the health and hygiene of the kid considering he's pro vax. The dad's only argument seems to be that he wants his kid's dick to look like his. Meanwhile circumcision has literally been medically proven to improve hygiene and help prevent infections and diseases and its the reason why every official medical paper confirms it and why many adults do that procedure willingfully,and why majority of people who were circumcised when they were born seem to be glad about it once they grow up.
Circumcision can lower the risks of certain STDs specifically HIV and penile cancer according to the CDC. At least that's my guess of why she would be comparing that and vaccines.
@@alexanderhenby1362circumcision is also known to cause a multitude of problems as the child grows and develops, though. Safe sex practices and good hygiene are the better option
Also, the husband is the one who has a penis and therefore his two cents on the matter is probably fairly helpful, no? Obviously it should be a joint decision but the mom will never personally know what it’s like to be cut vs. uncut, if I were her I’d be thankful he was there to help me understand a little better.
Right?! Also, I've news for her, at 42 she is an actual millennial herself (assuming the post is from this year)! Albeit on the absolute cusp, but still. The irony.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399I was going to say that; unless the post is a couple of years old, she's a Millennial herself. Or *barely* Gen X. Definitely too young to be conflating "Millennials" with "kids these days."
I think for a lot of people 'millenial' kinda fills the space for what used to be called 'the youth' in the 1970s and 80s. basically, 'those younger people... blah. whatever.'
There IS this drama group called Mama Drama that's run by Mariah Monet. It's absolutely INSANE!!! A lot of bad, homophobic, racist, transphobic, mothers in there. You don't have to be a mother to be apart of that group either!!! Mama is just a term for women.
A small note about hospitals in America (I'm assuming the newborn baby antibiotics story was in America) that I actually know. I use to work in a hospital kitchen. I delivered MANY meals to the Maternity ward. But they don't just send you up stuff. The patient actually had to, you know, order the food. If the lady wasn't eating, that means she wasn't ordering and waiting until like 8PM to complain to the nurses who, at that point, might have access to a ham sandwich and a juice box, but that's about it. Now, I only laid in a Maternity Ward bed for about 5 minutes (they wanted help with some sort of publicity video, and I was delivering food nearby), but they're quite comfortable. I have no idea why she was laying in the reclining chair after giving birth, since those are really meant for the fathers, and they haven't doubled up on Maternity Wards in years. Personally, I think there's a lot of intentionally making the story seem worse than it actually is (whether by her own malicious ignorance or just making things up, no idea).
She had a home birth and only checked the baby into the hospital for breathing issues. She didn’t bother to check herself into the hospital but she is mad no one is paying attention to her. She probably just didn’t fucking say anything…
I work in pediatrics and I have reported several parents for medical neglect for repeatedly going AMA. It's not much, but it's the only thing I can do in these types of situations.
With the baby story, my mother had wanted to do a home birth for me (with a home nurse and a doula ect.), but I ended up being nearly 3 months premature, and she accepted the fact that for her own safety, and for my little newborn baby body's safety, she had to go to a hospital to give birth. She would have liked to take me home after a couple of days, but again, because my little newborn body wasn't working right, she understood the best option for my life was to keep me in the NICU for a couple of months. If she hadn't, I wouldn't be typing this. Parents who refuse to give their babies and children lifesaving care are just killing their kids.
The baby meconium thing (I know I spelled that shit wrong) is actually something that happened to me. I was on ECMO and don't have a jugular on my right anymore because of it. That shit is serious, how could they deny the baby any kind of care?? I literally almost died and they're eye-rolling on FB about these doctors trying to keep their baby alive. They should NOT be parents jfc.
My son aspirated his and almost died as well. He was suffocating and had to be put in an oxygen box. I'm so glad he's okay now, but it's certainly not something to eye roll at
Well I'm embarrassed now because at 20 years old I have always thought "jugular" was just like an expression, and not a real physical thing. Well, time to google... 😅
I'd have other reasons for not supplying a Jeffree Star makeup palette, but it's got nothing to do with it being makeup. Sheesh, let kids be themselves.
I nearly died because they didn't keep me long enough at the hospital and I had complications. My mom knew I was premature and she asked to stay longer so they could do more checks and they refused. My lungs weren't fully formed. I nearly choked to death. Take the doctor's advice on saving your baby.
Ok so I can understand your unique circumstances and it was wrong of your parents if you had actually shown signs of issues. (To be clear I'm not in any way anti-med or anti-science very much the opposite) however the things that were described by that post were misconstrued/misunderstood the baby was just a home birth. A healthy home birth. I personally would never have a baby at home with no prenatal care but it should be a inherent right particularly in a country like America where health care isn't free and a single healthy birth is $30,000 not counting pre-natal care. We should not be able to force people to get something they must pay for particularly something that could have devastating financial effects (like homelessness, bankruptcy, etc) without a immediate/impending risk death or permanent health issues. With a home birth they often highly suggest that you take the baby in for a quick physical immediately afterwards particularly if there was any birth situations that was abnormal (breach, longer then 24hr of labor, cord wrapped around neck, etc) the baby from her description appears to have been fine (although based on the type of talk she was doing I suspect the baby did have a moment of difficulty clearing lungs or didn't cry immediately and had to be stimulated but this is quite normal in a breach birth) in my personal opinion she's wrong to not provide her child with the modern medicine we have available that helps protect so much but it is her right if the child isn't in immediate danger. That said, hospitals and doctors do actively discriminate and make life difficult for people Who don't just go along to get along and do absolutely everything they are told to do by doctors. I don't agree with her at all, but if we take away her right? S to do those things, then we will be endangering everybody else's right to make their own health decisions based on what they know or what they feel or what They're experiencing, ultimately, you know your body best, and if you don't want a treatment, then you shouldn't have to get that treatment. unfortunately, babies are at an age where they can advocate for themselves And so parents must do it for them. It sucks, but it is what it is.
@@lizf1353 That baby was clearly dying. And people can get government insurance which actually covers giving birth entirely. So your are just wrong (and to be clear not like that children can ask for the care they need even if they want it, so yeah children's right to proper medical could come above a parent's right's) and I'm not arguing with you about my stance. Post your rant on the video next time. thanks.
@@lizf1353no. also the cord around a babies neck will kill them if they’re pushed out. i would know because i had my umbilical cord around my neck. i almost didn’t fucking make it. i had to be an emergency c-section. people like you don’t actually care about the babies safety, so don’t act like you do.
The whole "I know better than doctors because I gave birth" thing annoys me so much. No you don't, you don't know better just because you popped out a human and they act like its the greatest accomplishment when all mammals can do it.
They also seem to forget that, even if some doctors suck, they made the consious choice to devote their lives to helping people and trained for 10+ years and maintain a license to do so. Pregnancy can definitely suck and be a traumatic experience but it doesnt make you an expert in pediatrics.
@@spOOkytimes In addition, doctors and nurses can still be parents themselves! It's seriously astounding and concerning how 2-dimensionally these people think of others.
Totally agree with you on the doctors part. Cause they went to school for half their life lol so I know they know better. But pushing out a baby is a great accomplishment. Everybody is not able to do so for whatever reasons so it’s a great thing (for most people) when they are able to do so.
But the weird thing is that the wife now knows someone who is uncut, and STILL uses the argument of preventative care: I don't understand why she didn't ask her husband "Hey, did you ever suffer insane infections because of having a foreskin?" (because that's most of the times the arguments for having it done, which is a massively outdated idea behind doing it, while a massive amount of citizens in Europe is doing fine for decades, foreskin intact and all).
Instead of telling a child to not let anyone touch them privately, tell them that no one has the right to touch them like that. The phrasing of "don't let anyone do that" can make it really confusing for children dealing with CSA who can't stop it, so it worsens the guilt and lowers the chance of them speaking up.
right. and specify that no one has the right- save emergency situations or general medical professionals- to touch them against their wishes. strangers and family.
@@venturereclipse6833 Yeah, like 5, almost 6 seemes like a concerning age to do that, idk if it's normal or not, so I could be wrong, but I'd check if the child got SA'd
So that second story sounds like an LDS family. I'm not Mormon so I may be off a little, but they believe that there are souls that kind of float around until you have a child. Having a child brings one of those souls into the world and gives them the chance to be saved and end up in the Celestial Kingdom. That's why LDS family's generally have so many children because you want to bring as many of those souls into this world as possible. They also believe that the souls choose their family which can lead to some really problematic opinions about child abuse. yay. xp
As an exmormon who grew up in the church I was thinking the same thing! That story is absolutely WILD!!! The church is soo.... its a lot man. so cultish and they'd rather die than admit that. As a Nonbinary Bisexual person who even went on an LDS mission I could tell some STORIES XD
As an LDS person you are exaggerating on. "I'm not Mormon so I may be off a little, but they believe that there are souls that kind of float around until you have a child." And no not all Mormons believe that your soul chose your family. That is not doctrinal. So please stop. You are correct about the celestial kingdom. While many religions have problematic elements, what is even more problematic is to portray everyone in the entire faith as child abusers which is not the case. So yes you are a little off.
@@caladana1 They rather die to admit that. Ex-Mormons can also be a little bias. And you know good and well it is problematic to say Mormons have problematic opinions about child abuse.
@@lisah8438Nobody said everyone was a child abuser. They were saying that in cases of abuse it can be complicated by this belief that some Mormons share. It would be just as accurate to say that in families that don't trust the authorities, getting help for domestic violence can be problematic.
@@lisah8438it's odd how somany of these YT families are Mormon and do fucked up things. It's almost like the community behind it is abusive and the abuse is well hidden. It's weird weird weird how practically every exmo will talk about the abuse, lies, intimidation, contradictions, and how toxic the community is but some how it's not according to the people in the LDS? It's super weird how they said nothing about the religion being could abusers but that's what you surmised and if the shot fits then it fits. It's almost like you know this happens in the community and you're trying to convince people that this cult that was made by a weird sex addict doesn't abuse children when weirdly enough almost every exmo says so and the almost drastic number of family annihilaters are Mormon.
i was born on december 9th and kept in the hospital until christmas eve due to being a premature baby. nothing serious happened while i was there, but imagine if it did. my older brother was adopted so my mom had never looked after a newborn before. despite me being “ok” i was kept in the hospital for a precaution in case i stopped doing ok. between my mom and grandparents, someone was always in the hospital with me and they couldn’t even fathom the idea of complaining about it. they trusted that the doctors knew what was best unlike the mom with the newborn baby. complications in babies are quite common and she’s legit risking her babys life so she can sleep in her bed 🙄
Literally up until the second world war, babies and children were always dying. That is why there was a BABY BOOM at the time. Medical advancements were a major product of the war. You’d birth eight kids and five would make it to adulthood and then three would die in various accidents and conflicts and horrible workplaces and random illnesses before your hair even turned white. You’d pass away at the age of 62 with 2/8 children living.
reminds me of how my mom's ex friend wouldn't let her nephew watch ben 10 because she insisted that ben "sold his soul to the devil to get his alien watch" and i was just like...huh lmao?? it was funny in a sad way bc the kid cussed like a sailor and was super bad, and she did drugs around the kid, but i guess ben 10 is too far for their "christian family"
@@jasperjazzie that’s just heartbreaking….hope the kid saved his own life and future by being nothing like her and teaching himself how to act Also we see how he gets his Watch! It’s a meteor!
There was a news story during covid, this kid turned 18 and went right out and got every vaccination that his mother didn’t let him get as a kid. His mother whined about feeling betrayed
some parents really need to take a developmental psych class. you learn about when babies should start babbling, when they start talking, when they start to feel certain emotions, how much weight they should gain and when, etc. like i don’t even want kids and i know all of this stuff 😅
That's my Big Idea To Fix It All. Having a kid? You take the class, which is a comprehensive child development and anatomy course. It's like jury duty, your boss has to give you the time, you're paid to attend. It's pass/fail, at the end you get a notarized document certifying that you know the developmental stages of s human child, and that you can't stand there claiming you didn't know better if you shake a baby or something. I think it would really streamline things.
Plenty of parents really need to take a psych evaluation or to go to prison, too, but here we are. It’s astounding how many people are willing to die on the hill that one should get to procreate and do nearly whatever they want with their kids.
Coming from some of the same people who perform exorcisms to drive the gay demons out of their kids, that's pretty funny, because an exorcism is absolutely a magical ritual.

I don’t think the woman whose baby was borderline failure to thrive was fat shaming her baby i think it was about the formula vs breastfeeding debate. There are lots of reasons a baby could be failure to thrive and it’s possible her baby isn’t eating or she’s not producing enough milk. She’s likely feeling inadequate because the doctors are telling her she needs to supplement with formula and she feels like they’re telling her she’s failed as a mother so she’s trying to rationalize the babies size to herself so she doesn’t feel that guilt. My niece has always been tiny and was borderline failure to thrive, she just never ate much she was breastfed and formula fed and we’d constantly have to be waking her up and trying all sorts of tricks to keep her eating. It’s like she doesn’t feel herself being hungry. She had to be put on an appetite stimulant. They definitely weren’t starving their baby but it was and is frustrating to hear that she’s not making enough progress when you’re doing everything you can.
Yeah some people just don't feel hungry until they are like getting a headache from low blood sugar and stuff. I speak from experience, if someone does seem to have something like that going on I do recommend the doc looking into neurodevelopmental disorders when they are old enough to be tested, since it is a common thing in quite a few of those. Also could be metabolic or genetic (some people's bodies can't process body fat and don't learn this until they get like throwing-up-for-days sick. And some people aren't failing to thrive they're just going to be an itty bitty person or really skinny / lanky person. And premies are going to be smaller for their age, and have a delay on when things happen based on how early they were born. Someone born 6 weeks early is going to hit milestones 6 ish weeks past the normal mark for that weight, size, other thing. Doctors need to be better at letting parents know that there could be multiple reasons their child is struggling with weight or size and that it isn't their fault (if they're doing everything right).
I was failure to thrive because my mom couldn’t produce enough milk and the doctors kept repeatedly saying she had to breastfeed me and pushing it on her. Finally her at home nurse looked at her chart and told her that mothers with head injuries often struggle to produce enough milk and she should just switch to formula. It was wild, though. Like, they made her feel truly ashamed for not being able to breastfeed.
My special needs son was declared failure to thrive because he is extremely picky and I had to come up with differently ways to get him to eat and it can still be a struggle. I feel for that mom. My son had to have weigh ins and the doctor finally didn't want to schedule another weigh and he is 5 now
As a witch myself I want to ask, why would I waste my time with some random mom? 😂 I personally don’t gaf lol and am not out to get Christians 😂 Christians freak me out.
Even on the witchy fora I follow people are always talking about getting cursed and I always wonder how all these people are being cursed. Who do you know that curses and hexes you? Should I be more worried about this? 😅
thank you for actually calling it genital mutilation bc thats what it is and anyone who says otherwise is wild it should be considered child abuse no matter religion and IF they want it done they can have it done at 18 for their religion (only exception is when it fuses and causes issues with hygeine/ability to urinate)
It's a really difficult topic for me as a former Orthodox Jew. I mean I know now that it's wrong and there's no justifying it, but we do really have to contend with the fact that it IS a religious practice and it IS targeting a religion to ban it. Like the notion of waiting until 18 to do it means mandating that parents are not allowed to have their children in The Covenant. Which sounds silly when you're outside of it but it sounds like serious oppression when you're in it. I mean I don't know what to do with this information but it's definitely something that can't be ignored when dealing with the issue on a societal level.
@@zenleeparadise Something being important to a religion does not exempt it from the law. There are plenty of religions that promote a variety of cruel and horrific practices, nobody gets special treatment. If your religion is so extreme that it's incompatible with laws against child abuse then... idk what to tell you?
Not a religious person, but I think circumcision is somewhat beneficial to being clean (physically, like hygiene-wise) not to mention that a lot of men experience complications with their genitals because the head can't fit all the way out of that excess skin, sometimes resulting in swelling and hospital trips. Some uncut men eventually go to the hospital to remove it and experience INTENSE pain from the procedure that late in life. I don't like people doing this surgery "because it's gods will", but every cut man I've ever met says that they prefer it that way while lots of uncut men complain. To each their own, but surgery isn't mutilation, if a rabbi does it THEN it's mutilation because it's not in a medical setting for medical reasons. Same for females, genital surgery isn't mutilation but when its for religious reasons it's mutilation (big issue in less developed countries)
@@WaryJester There are no medically recognised benefits to circumcision, and even if there were it wouldn't justify mutilating a child's genitals without consent. Circumcision is a cosmetic surgery. The notion that "it's cleaner" is psychotic. Phimosis, the condition you're describing, is rarely treated with circumcision, generally it's treated by just stretching the foreskin.
Thank you for the medical ignorance rant. It's beyond ridiculous and infuriating. I think there is a way for the hospital to be granted guardianship temporarily but it's a whole legal risk/procedure. I'm still flabbergasted by the Jehovah's Witness policy of not accepting blood transfusions. I think there is an age limit where kid's can override their parents for life saving measures but damn. Glad that they are starting to override religious exemptions more in this area.
Forcing a person who has 0 power in their medical care to suffer and potentially die should be considered neglect and abuse. Just like it would be for secular people. Tired of religion being used to torture innocent people.
My ex was JW and his mom died because she wasn't conscious and his grandma refused a blood transfusion. Not only did she die, but he was still a kid and it literally ruined his life. I don't even like him and I still feel seething hatred inflate within me when I see these people leave their flyers and try to call me or come to my door. I wanna be like HOW DARE YOU SPREAD THIS BS. I know they're all indoctrinated to the point where they don't grasp the full impact of what they're doing because it's a cult but my god....I've never come so close to feeling like advocating for making organized religious institutions illegal.
@@rocketpsyenceyou ever cuss them out? They never ever visit me. I caught some mormons in my subdivision once about a year and a half ago. I was in a mental warzone so it didn’t connect for me until I burrowed back into my house and put the weird white suit and tie and books together. I would have cussed them out but my hiding instinct is stronger lol
@thaloblue I think my first urge is to do that and let them have it, but I remember when I was young and was involved in conservative relation and even joined a cult at one point - I know how their minds work. If you cuss them out, they view it as vindication and see themselves as sort of martyrs or people being persecuted for their faith. It will help them reinforce their already deeply internalized mindset that the world is wicked and actively refuses [whatever their version of God is] and sets them against reason even worse. The thing that sucks is a lot of time they're so indoctrinated they think even being tempted to question anything is a sin so sitting them down and giving them extra information won't help either because someone in their cult will rationalize it away. That's WHY these things have such a crazy grip on people. My tactic these days is maybe a bit counter intuitive, but it's sharing secular joy and friendliness. Because I remember that one of the things that started me questioning religion was not people militantly declaring my god didn't exist and I was crazy - what really made me start questioning was seeing atheists and agnostic people who were more moral and kind and loving than any of the people in my own life. Basically seeing that all the reasons I thought I needed to cling to a religion were wrong. That I wouldn't just immediately descend into like baby torturing evil and hate if I left religion. Like being agnostic wouldnt mean being automatically selfish or cruel. Because I was GENUINELY AFRAID that I did not have an innate capacity for good. The propaganda runs deep. It still took some other catalysts and reasoning for me to finally leave, but that was a huge part of it. So these are the things I keep in mind when interacting with people deeply entrenched in cults and conservative religion.
@@rocketpsyence It's funny you say that. I've had coworkers shocked I was atheist because I'm so friendly and nice. It really confused me but you're right, they think religion makes you a moral person. I have another coworker who is a militant atheist and he is very insulting to believers and it is definitely counter productive. I can appreciate the good things religion brings (community, charity, hope) but I don't mind criticizing the misogyny and the hypocrisy if I see it.
My heart truly breaks for the kids whose parents deny them vaccinations and medical care. Like we joke and all but at the end of the day it's a very serious and tragic thing. So many kids die who could have been saved because of their crazy parents.
Studying linguist here! With the one 9 month old with pronouncing stuff, 'm' is actually one of the easiest sounds to make for anybody of any age, along with 'b'. 'G' is actually a harder sound to make, because as sounds move farther make in the throat it becomes harder to voice them (so 'k' would be a lot easier to make). D is somewhere in the middle, but still needs practice. This is one of the reasons why babies usually say "mama" before "dada", not because they favourite one parent over the other or know what it means, but because the sound is easier to make.
I'd like to point out that at 9 months old it's common for kids to start learning how to say simple words like ma, mom, dad, etc. This person is expecting that their baby not only know how to form full sentences but also know sign language & understand every world they say on top of that then gets upset that a literal baby hasn't graps those thing yet. Sounds like someone doesn't understand that babies have to learn things & they don't understand things from the second they're born
Actually it's another few months until they know those sounds have meaning. Before 10 months you're heading babbling, nonsense sounds made of both consonants and vowels. They learn it has meaning when people respond certain ways to certain sounds (saying "yes that's me" when the child makes a maa sound). They're leaning to make hard sounds not words. The babbling stage is normally between 8 and 10 months, with first actual understood words being around 10 to 13 months.
@alexisflory6496 Ah. Okay. Thank you for the information. Still, the fact stands that the mom in that post expected her baby to grasp things at an age when they wouldn't have & then wanted to act like their baby was developementy delayed
@@AutisticTeddyBear thanks... honestly, my brother (the 8 year old) said at school that his parents hit him but apparently that's not enough of an issue to report it anywhere. They just had a talk with my mom and asked if breastfeeding my other brother is stressing her out so much that she's getting irritated...
@@AutisticTeddyBear she's always stressed, but not because of breastfeeding. Anyway, she also has anger issues and I think she might have some mental disorder as well (I have a few myself lol). I suggested her to do a parenting course and/or go to therapy but she said that she doesn't have time (because work and basically being a single parent) 🙄 I stopped her with my body and told her that one doesn't hit children and she basically said that she's not gonna let my brother do whatever he wants. She wanted to hit him because he didn't want to clean so she told me that since I think that she shouldn't hit him, I can deal with him. Honestly, my brother is really disrespectful towards her and she thinks that hitting should help, but it very obviously isn't working...
@@noname-ur4gr kids really won’t listen to disrespectful parents especially if they been hit, I hope that woman gets the help she needs for her and your bro, so sorry you have to deal with all that there’s no excuses to hurting a kid being stressed doesn’t justify taking out your pain on a kid no matter how annoying the kid is That’s like a man hitting his wife because he had a bad day at work and she said something rude, just shity and had no right to
I'm not a parent, but if I had a son asking for a Jeffry Starr collection, I wouldn't get it for him either because I hate that asshole and I would refuse to give him any money. Instead, I would have to correct said hypothetical son on why such people shouldn't be supported, suggest other people to watch on RUclips (probably Luxeria), then get some help to get him some really good make up kits so he can be as fabulous as he damn well pleases.
I've never heard of Jeffrey Starr before, so I don't know what he's done wrong, but this sounds like a good reaction to your kid wanting to wear makeup
My brother tried to get me to not vaccinate my children, and said i was stupid for getting the covid vaccine while pregnant because it'll harm my babies. My oldest has autism (youngest is too young to be assessed, but it's likely) he constantly says it's because of the vaccines. He also had a baby himself, I say had because the poor baby died after catching measles (baby wasn't old enough to vaccinate yet but he was dead against it anyway, her ex has her head screwed on so she was going to get it anyway) he took his baby to an anti-vaxer get together and that's when baby got ill. He is adamant that it was my babies "shedding" or whatever that caused his baby to die. He's also severely suffering with long covid, surprisingly none of the vaccinated family have even had a rough time with covid. Including our 80+ Yr old nana
"I want to name my daughter Tinderleigh and my husband doesn't like the name" Leigh is a variation on "Lee" which means a sheltered place, and "tinder" doesn't _just_ refer to a dating site So to me the name Tinderleigh sounds like a copse of trees (with lots of dry grass and leaf litter and underbrush) that's going to be consumed by-or be the source of-a wildfire basically the moment a spark hits it.
My parents, who probably shouldn't have had kids to begin with, are trying to force me or my sister to give them grandchildren as if they're entitled to it. My fiance and I have decided not to have kids because we're both mentally ill and I have chronic pain that I wouldn't want to pass onto potential children (plus either of us carrying would make us extremely dysphoric). My sister and her partner are in college and using their money to survive, not a situation you should bring a kid into. Apparently, having two people with minimum wage jobs is enough to make a kid these days.
What that one mum who refused prenatal care and is refusing treatment for her newborn doesn't know is that all those doctors and nurses are on the phone with child protection to negotiate social work involvement to enforce medical care. Keep rolling those eyes and laughing all the way to court, lady, because you're gonna lose medical custody of your kids.
My oldest was failure to thrive due to an undiagnosed food allergy. He's 19 now, 5'9 and about 150 lbs. We worked with a nutritionist when he started solids to make sure he had enough fat in his diet, since most children get their fat from dairy, which he (still) can't eat.
I, like most men in Britain, am uncut. I've not had any hygiene issues. I did have an issue with it not going back properly, which is relatively common, but it's fairly easily fixable and, this is key, you can always get cut as an adult if it's bothering you.
I think most of the world is uncut. It's just that the US thinks they're the center of everything. How is it that humans still exist when most of the men who ever lived have been uncut?
I’m not kidding, American medicine is full of propaganda. Doctors were very content with lying and over exaggerating for a long time. Every time we criticize these stupid women for being idiots, we have to partially blame the medical field for being so untrustworthy especially in America. Its been infested with religious propaganda - pastors wanted boys to stop masturbating so everybody started pushing circumcision. Medical practice has deeply racist roots in the USA, with every race INCLUDING white women going in for routine procedures and leaving mysteriously sterilized. Most white women were not sterilized, but if you were rumored to be a sex worker or you contracted an STD, suddenly you were barren. American doctors had an entire town of black people infected with a disease for DECADES. Just for experiments. The treatment was available. It wasn’t even expensive. They just let that disease run wild for the thrill of it. I am pro-vaccine, but I cannot pretend early American Medicine was not synonymous with scams, fuckery, and intentional harm.
The first story is already funny cuz Dora literally has sentient talking animals and a like 6yo traveling the world by herself and you're looking for witchcraft? The bible literally has magic in it, Christians ask for magic to happen all the time in the name of " miracles " like you're doing witchcraft when you blow out the birthday candles and pray and believe in a higher power like... So why did she take her baby to the hospital? Just let it expire at home like you obviously want it to and stop annoying the doctors, go home.
9:09 i did the same thing as a kid, like most people do, and my mom's response was very helpful for me. she didn't say exactly what it was called but she would call it my private parts. it helped me understand both that it was something i should do alone, at that age at least, and that nobody else could touch me there. i did still end up being abused like that but i still had a concept of it being wrong(it was my father so it was more complicated) but those conversations helped me express what happened when i realized i could. she also explained the basics of sex to me at 8 because i asked and she's always been pretty open about that kinda stuff with me(to an age appropriate level ofc) and it's prevented me from further abuse. it also built trust between us early on. all this to say i love my mom❤️
she's also the reason i'm able to be on T(i'm a teen) and has helped me explore my gender/sexuality. i also taught her about asexuality and she now identifies as demisexual. she's my favorite person and y'all's moms should take notes
I love my mom too!! im also trans and we talk frequently about gender identity and lots of cool stuff (she's lesbian and has a wife, my step-mom) I feel incredibly lucky that she's my mom because she's the most understanding person I know. she gets it from her mom, my late grandma, and i strive to be at least a little like both of them. makes me happy to hear from other trans people who have at least one good parent, like yeah!! there's good in the world!! (Not that I don't have other reminders lol.) anyway, lovely comment, have a nice day
that newborn story at the nicu...it was a BREECH birth and she's bragging she did that at home? and she never had a prenatal appointment?? she's wondering why the healthcare professionals want to run so many tests on the baby??? and she's wondering why she can't be near her baby in the hospital cuz she thinks 'medicine bad'????? yknow maybe it's not such a bad idea to have mandatory certification before having children. and I'm a small government kinda person. but my goodness, this and other real life examples of people I've seen while working EMS......yeesh edit: I absolutely agree, care for a child should be forfeited from the parents and go to the state if the healthcare professionals agree the minor should stay in the hospital to receive treatment. like there's too many cases of children dying or having serious complications cuz their parents denied healthcare. fuck that shit
I cannot bear to think if they pulled that baby out by the legs. Horrible for the spine. A bad birth can set a baby’s health on the wrong path for life.
My cousin's parents wouldn't let him watch or read anything that had storylines involving magic. No Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, none of the Halloweentown movies, no Hocus Pocus, etc. No The Worst Witch. All things I grew up reading or watching. Funny thing is, I recently found out this cosuin watched the new season of Good Omens. He also loves the show Merlin so if they were trying to turn him off those things, it didn't really work.
Maybe we could convince the “I don’t believe in pronouns” mum to get Jeffree Star makeup for her son by informing her that Jeffree Star is also one of the “I don’t believe in pronouns” people?🤔
loving the animal crossing switch earrings, my sisters have that exact switch!! and, istg, i know ive seen people like this irl. they're kind of... insane, yeah. saw a mum giving me dirty looks on a bus when i pulled my phone and headphones out (my autistic ass needs the sensory block lol) and then she pulled *her* phone out and literally shoved cocomelon in her baby's face. this baby looked like they were barely old enough to even be out in the world. kid didn't seem too happy either. what's worse? literally shoving cocomelon in an already calm baby's face or an autistic teen with headphones lmao
What was her fucking problem?? It wasn’t as if you were playing something on your phone out loud. Wtf was she eyeing you for? Sorry I feel a bit protective. My brother is special needs, somewhere on the spectrum, and I just want him to be happy. I also have an autistic roommate and seriously autism is a very large spectrum and if it is managed well you are perfectly capable of living a normal life so this stuff just pisses me off. And she was a lowlife screen mother on top of that. Ugh.
I love the fact that the only special thing the soon to be mother connects with her realtionship to her now husband is the dating app tinder, where the met and that it is so heartwarming for her that she plans to name her baby girl after this very app. I would really start question this realtionship after hearing this incident...
Are you taking psych human development or medical human development? I miss my psych human development classes. Piaget is my favorite early psychologist. As far as we know he had no evil experiment era. He just observed his family generation by generation at the ski lodge they owned and wrote down very consistent insights.
Okay, the formula one I give the benefit of the doubt on cause at least here in America there are way too many doctors who are completely uneducated about breastfeeding and whats healthy/normal for a breastfed baby and will shame/pressure/scare mothers into feeding their babies formula cause they view breastfeeding as inferior.
Labor and delivery doctors are consistently the stupidest people in the medical industry. We used to say if you flunked every class you’d end up a psych doctor, but I genuinely believe that’s not where the dumbasses go anymore. They go to the birthing farm - a corporate hospital that butchers women up and yanks the child out of them in time for the doctor’s supper.
On the pronouns thing, my best friend tried to prevent me from answering my goddaughter's question about if I was "a girl or a boy?". I was about to explain that I'm neither and answer in an age appropriate manner that gender isn't what's between our legs and all that. Both my friend and her husband ganged up on me and said "you better not teacher her this non-binary bullsh*t," and my friend said "I don't what her turning around to me when she's 14, saying "mum, I'm a they," like my cousin did to my sister. I don't want her to be comfused with that non-binary gender stuff, maybe when she's older, we'll tell her,". And I just threw up my hands, and thought to myself "well sis, she's gonna be even more confused when you completely shatter the simplified worldview you coddled her with. It's better to explain now to save the hassle and bigotry later, but hey, your kid, you "know" how to teach your children better than a literal early childhood educator, as well as eventual child psychologist and crunchy mother. Yep, totally know better,". If they're old enough to ask, they're old enough to know. Poor girl, my goddaughter, every time I visit, she's brimming with questions, constantly curious, and I do my best to answer her truthly and age appropriately, so she comprehends the world around her which she's so inquisitive to understand. But I just get the feeling my friend doesn't do the same. She's 4, and speaks like a 2 year old. She struggles to get out sentences that at her age should be full and near comprehensable. Among other things. My friend blatantly refuses to take anyone's advice unless it's Mommacusses or Toni Phantom. She won't even take her mother's advice cause "you're not her mother! You don't know what she needs!". So defensive and silky. I worry for the day my goddaughter turns 18. She'll most likely be at my doorstep, overweight and underachieved in her education, within 6 months of becoming an adult. Then it would be up to me to help her become an adjusted, healthy, self esteemed adult. I hope it doesn't have to come down to that, however I gladly welcome the challenges ahead. It takes patience to parent and reparent. Patience not even my friend has. If you're truly a good parent, you would almost never get impatient or prevent them from playing outside. You'd feed them real fruit and veges, and never complain about the price. Because veges cost less in the long run compared to medical bills for obesity related diseases. And a few hours here and there indulging your child's curiosity is far more fulfilling than scrolling tiktoks ahout women who echo chamber your parenting biases, feeling sorry for yourself while grumping on your kids for interrupting your selfish "me" time. You chose to have kids young before being fully mature, so don't blame them for your immature reactions. Breaking generational cycles, my freaking a** 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yikes on bikes dude, sure fruits and vegetables cost less than medical care later but if you can’t buy the fruit and vegetables today you can’t buy them. I don’t even have kids but I lived with a single mom with a toddler and she couldn’t do anything. She couldn’t stand there and chopped vegetables and prepare dinner for an hour without her kid absolutely flipping out and destroying the house. And that’s what would happen. Her house has been destroyed for eight years now.
That mother who's young daughter was pleasuring herself... Obviously, she handled it horribly. But as a mother, I'd be very concerned that she'd begun figuring things like that out at 5. I would definitely speak to her, try to make sure she was safe, that no one had traumatized her or anything. I'd definetely talk to a therapist to ask how I should handle it, being that she is so young. But that seems concerning.
It could go either way. If the girl knows too much terminology or slang for her body that definitely didnt come from tv or parents talking that could be another red flag. But 5-7 is the earliest that kids can discover themselves. It is more common with boys because, well, it is sticking out. But if a girl has more prominent anatomy she can absolutely discover it.
Eh, toddlers learn about the ‘good feelings’, I’ve worked in childcare a looooooong time and it’s not uncommon at all. A gentle redirection about appropriate places is usually all that’s needed (ie you can do it in your bedroom or the bathroom). Older kids you might check just to be sure, especially if it’s sort of new behaviour or obsessive or anything like that. A gentle conversation about your body being your body etc.
24:20 I just want to say that we experienced something similar with my little brother he would have been marked with the "failure to thrive" thing if the nurse/doctor person didn't personally know my mom he was her fifth baby and she was doing everything she knew and he just wouldn't put on weight I'm honestly very thankful to lady who decided not to mark him with "failure to thrive" cuz that's like a red flag to CPS and my little brother is now in hs and struggled with attendance due to different neurodivergent things to the point that CPS was almost involved and I do believe that they would have been had he had any prior red flags like the failure to thrive thing (I have never felt less literate than when I was trying to type this jesus christ . . . ) anyway, my mom now works with babies and new mothers professionally that struggle with similar problems and I guess all I'm trying to say is that while I don't know this particular mother's situation (and she doesn't really sound like the best mom), these things can happen even if you're doing "everything right" or what would normally be right for a typical baby. Doesn't mean your a bad mom, just that you have to keep trying to figure out what's wrong and what will help your baby (but being dismissive of the issue does kinda make you a bad mom imo)
Ugh the homebirth parents are very frustrating, for a few reasons; Firstly, I want to say that I don’t support the decision to reject all of the standard newborn care offered by the hospital - for example, vitamin k is given to reduce the risk of developing a brain bleed and has a boatload of evidence supporting it as safe & effective. Eye ointment on the other hand is probably not necessary for most babies and a lot of people choose to skip it altogether and doing so isn’t seen as an act of neglect or anything, at least not in the hospital where I had my child. antibiotics are not being recommended because the doctors are sure the baby has an infection, it’s because they are not sure if that is the case or not and they want to prevent complications from potential infections that are possible to contract during labor and delivery and while I think it’s unwise for the parents to ignore this advice, I don’t think that it rises to the level of literally letting the baby die because they don’t want to treat an infection If they were in Canada and not the USA, they would be in a significantly safer position to have a homebirth because here we actually regulate that sort of thing and midwives are highly trained medical professionals who are taught to notice potential complications and get their patients to the hospital should anything start to go wrong . I get the sense that this couple is deeply misinformed and that is concerning, but I don’t think they are actively & knowingly causing harm to their baby. Obviously they still could be actually terrible and not care about their baby at all and that would be awful But I am hopeful that they are just not actually informed about the risks of choosing not to do these things and are capable of doing better when they are better informed
There are certified midwives in the US like Certified Nurse Midwives that are highly trained for UNCOMPLICATED births but I don’t think these people would’ve used one of them if they’d known that…
The reason why I say that they’d have been better off if they had tried to do a home birth in Canada is not that I don’t know that actual midwives exist in the US, it’s because those midwives are not (typically? There could be states that are exceptions to this that I’m not aware of) allowed to participate in homebirths . so if that’s something the parents value a lot & are really set on doing then they essentially have no choice but to roll the dice and hire someone who is not licensed
5:03 i wouldnt talk for YEARS. a dr almost thought i was deaf but i reacted to everything. my brother said he prayed for me to finally talk when he was a toddler, then followed with "apparently it worked too well" bc i never shut up
I only come across your channel on my recommended a few times a month but every time I watch them they’re always amazing! I saw the skzoo plushies and wondered why I didn’t subscribe earlier, great to see another stay!
I used to bartend at a large, high-traffic, all-ages arcade & the number of moms specifically who came up to me & asked if they could start a tab for their under-10yo (for soda & candy), take their card back, & could I keep an eye on their kid while they go shopping? was disgusting. Like… absolutely not. Judging by their cards & where they said they were going shopping they were definitely able to afford childcare, it was just more “convenient” for them to abandon their child in an actual BAR run by a skeleton crew that is not and cannot be responsible for YOUR ACTUAL CHILD WTF. Childcare is is own industry FOR A REASON.
Totally on board with this video! 👍 It's a breath of fresh air to see someone addressing the overreactions to fictional content in kids' shows. Kids grow at their own pace, and placing unrealistic expectations on them is just setting them up for disappointment. I've always believed kids aren't an extension of our desires - they need their own identity and choices. The point about educating on body awareness without scaring them? Spot on! The circumcision debate needs more awareness and understanding. As for parents wanting vacations without responsibilities, it's a reminder that parenting is a lifelong commitment. The excessive month denominations always puzzled me; simplicity is key. Rushing into relationships and naming choices based on trends isn't wise. And most importantly, the health of a newborn should always be a priority, and professional advice should never be ignored.
Someone told me to stop “doing the months thing” when I described my niece as being 11 months old. I could have said almost 1, but that’s just more accurate.
i agreed with most everything you said except the Circumcision issue. I am a nurse, and I have seen many cases of adult men needing to have a circ because of infections and complications of not being cut. It is a HORRIBLE experience for adults to go through. Its kind of like tonsillectomies. It's easier to have that done as a child, but can have major complications if done as an adult.
"Souls need to be born for ancestral or karmic reasons... now I'm stuck having 2 kids" I was driving listening to this and hearing that threw me so hard i fucking hit a barrier. WHAT THE FUCK

Oh Dear, it is the best episode 😄 I love how outraged the shit on the internet makes you feel. It is great! I totally adore you and your attitude ❤ i feel exactly the same as you World has gone totally craaazy.... Cheers!
I feel bad for the son who felt safe enough to ask for a pallet only for this to be his mother’s reaction. He’s not going to feel that security anymore.
My parents refused to give me antibiotics until I was weeks into being sick (I was sick for an entire month once), and now I have literal sinus region cysts because of the constant infections, causing me to get a sinus infection every time I get a cold now. Some people need to get a grip on reality.
You usually stop counting months at/around 2. Because 15 months, 18 months and 24 months...etc all have very different milestones and skills but after that yeah stop counting 🤣
I POSTED THE FIRST ONE TO THE REDDIT GROUP!!! 😂😅 For some reason when the video started and I saw when it was posted I thought “what if the one I posted….nahhh”. Lolol but here it is 😂 this is HILARIOUS that it’s in this video. Edit: I just want to add here (I talked about it in the Reddit comments), but I knew that girl and went to school with her for over a year. Me, her, and another girl were a really good friend trio. At the time, she was totally normal and cool. She was sort of on a spiritual journey, but just open dialect about it, nothing crazy. I mean, she even joked and talked about smoking weed. (Which is literally no big deal lol). We went different ways after that year, and her FB posts turned into what it is now. Hopefully she gets out of it for the sake of her kids 🤷🏼♀️
My mom was the kind who wouldn’t let me and my siblings consume anything containing magic and let me tell you-it’s as bad as it sounds. I had to hide any interesting piece of media I wanted to consume because most stuff contained of things she thought would rot my mind and expose me to Satan. I literally got grounded and put into therapy for reading Harry Potter.
The one where they had this home birth, BREECH, no prenatal care, no screening for GBS, no vaccines, no eye ointment and no vitamin k??? Absolutely blew my mind. I’m a mom of 2 and a medical laboratory technician and I can’t stress how dangerous what she did was and then rejecting all possible treatment? Not having a PKU (which screens for like 72+ metabolic disorders- some of which can be fatal if not caught early and met with intervention) is a CRIME. Also vitamin k prevents babies from having fatal gut and brain bleeds it’s literally just a vitamin that encourages blood clotting because your liver normally makes it but babies have poor liver function! .-. And then GBS if your baby contracts it- it’s a super high mortality rate. It’s just normal flora for a woman’s genitals but it can cause meningitis and cause deafness, blindness and death. If you did happen to contract chlamydia during pregnancy the eye ointment prevents the infection from causing your baby to go BLIND. Not even having to touch on the vaccine thing. That lady was seriously INSANE. I’m not against home birth but like, do it with some sense. Sometimes it’s reasonably safe and sometimes it shouldn’t be attempted for you and baby’s safety. Wtf.
I'd like to note that a 9 month old's monthly milestones ARE saying "ma", and learning princer grasp, and shaking their head when they mean no. This baby isnt delayed, thats literally just a 9 month old being, you guessed it, a developing infant!
9 months old needs are food, being cleaned, being loved and given attention, sleep. That’s it for needs at 9 months.

My uncle said "Real men don't wear makeup." to my cousin once. I pointed out every male movie star, theatre star, cosplayer and just about any male performer and told him that they all wear makeup. I asked my uncle if he felt that Dwayne Johnson, Steven Seagal, Sylvester Stallone or any other "masculine icon" performer out there didn't count as 'real men' cause they have worn and wear makeup.

Here's the thing. If you choose to give birth at home and then bring your baby to the hospital because they're having trouble breathing, YOU ARE NOT THE PATIENT. The chair/bed setup sounds like standard accomodations for a parent staying the night with their child in the hospital. The doctors and nurses aren't worried about your nutrition because you are not their patient. If you had given birth in the hospital, you would be a patient.
that should be a common sense
I had a baby in my car on the way to the hospital and I was deemed a patient too!!

I work at a hospital and we literally JUST had a 5 day old baby who passed from cardiac arrest because the mom decline vitamin K vaccine.. insanely sad.
are there charges pressed for cases like that? Cause I was involved in the care of a little boy once who's parents weren't giving him his diabetes medicine and he almost died. That child got removed from the family and the parents charged with child endangerment and abuse.
I remember a youtuber (it was so long ago I can't remember the exact one anymore) discussing a case where a newborn baby literally had a brain bleed and died because his parents were anti-vaxxers and refused the vitamin K shot, and the parents blamed everyone but themselves for it. It's horrifying to think that you can refuse something like that that can stop an easily preventable death.
Just a clarification - Vitamin K isn't even a vaccine. It's just a vitamin - like a Flinstones gummy. Nothing more complicated than that, but it's absolutely critical for health. So sad that misinformation kills kids. I'm a pediatrician, for context.
Plz tell me the parents went to prison!!!
Hard lesson for the parents to learn. Bummer.
I have a father like this and it completely obliterated my childhood. It got to a point where my siblings and I had to agree with everything he said, just so he didn't think we were "taken by the devil". Absolute batshit crazy. Since moving out, none of us have been back to visit him. So to the parents who act like this... YOUR KIDS ARE SCARED OF YOU!!
For being so Christian, they are super obsessed with the devil to the point where they think about the devil more than God. Also arent Christians supposed to put their "trust in the Lord"? Doesnt sound like they feel like they can rely on their God, ie arent true believers.
If you go overboard on calling everything satanic and evil and try to keep everything from your kids they’re gonna get real curious and seek that shit out, while hiding from you. It does absolutely no good. If your kid is old enough to understand the difference between fiction and reality, they can understand that waving a wand around is just playing and not cause them to turn around and try summoning a demon.

As someone who was medically neglected as a child I CANNOT BELIEVE this medical neglect started from the MOMENT OF CONCEPTION with absolutely no prenatal care and a complete home birth with no professional supervision is WILD.
I'm literally picturing this lady living in a yurt in the middle of the Arizona desert, because I can't believe how someone in this modern day could live so isolated myself.
I’m sorry for your neglect. Also people were born at home for millennia. It’s fairly recent that giving birth has become medicalized. I wouldn’t call a home birth neglect.
@@annie.hi. it's not about the home birth. It's about the refusal to get any prenatal appointments or let the Drs do anything to ensure the home birth was safe for her and her baby.
@@AngelA-ws7qn at prenatal visits they listen to the heartbeat and ask you questions. If she is experienced at giving birth at home, and who knows, maybe even a midwife herself, she likely didn’t need it. It kind of sounds to me like she chose to stay at home because she didn’t want her birth medicalized and she knows what is necessary and what’s not. At the hospital they were freaking out because she had the baby at home and trying to overcompensate, offering all the things that were the reason she didn’t want to go to the hospital in the first place. It sounds like she was annoyed that they were keeping her baby away from her and bottle feeding it, which was hindering the natural connection that should be taking place right after birth between mother and child. I’m not against doctors and I do go to them, trust them, and listen to their advice and experience, but we also shouldnt trust a for profit medical system (like in the US) implicitly. I had a hospital birth and a home birth. The entire home birth process was way more comfortable than the hospital.
@@annie.hi. Yes, and the infant/maternal mortality rate was a lot higher for millennia as a result. It is perfectly safe to have a home birth only after you've consulted professionals to make sure it's a safe option for you, and typically you have a midwife or doula present just in case something goes wrong. This lady didn't even do the bare minimum and her child is dying as a result, so this is neglect.

It should literally be illegal to not vaccinate your kids, that’s child endangerment.
I dont think there is a single legit religious sect that disavows vaccines anymore. These people are in the IBLP or some other cult. It should definitely be considered medical neglect.
True, but we can't have that cuz "muh freedumb" 🙄
As long as it’s specified that kids that can’t get the vaccines won’t get taken away by cps. Eg, if the kid is allergic or there’s another valid reason why it can’t get vaccinated
thank christian science! Knowing Better has a wonderful video about how this group of crazy people has grown and become the lobbying juggernaut for “parental rights” it is today
There are reasons not to do certain vaccines. My daughter had a rare intestinal illness that happened not long after a vaccination. The follow up vaccines were then contraindicated for her. We chose not to get it with my younger daughter because of what happened with my older one. She was more likely to have the intestinal issue that can be triggered by this vaccine. So while I think they should be highly highly encouraged, there have to be some exceptions for everything.

I did at that age too. Some of these mothers need to get over themselves. Imagine being so brainwashed with fear, you're afraid of kids shows and kids doing normal kid shit. 🤣
@@jessicaK_wolfspirit00You are, probably, incorrect about human advancement. Much of science was discovered as an attempt to prove, disprove, or understand god(s). I'm not a big fan of organized religion, but it has, and still does occasionally, served a purpose.
24:09 This is the only one I feel a bit of sympathy for. When my son was a baby he just WOULD NOT gain weight. Even after he started eating solids, we tried everything and he was still tiny. He ate a lot, on some days more than his 2 year old sister. We bought him his own set of groceries - full fat yogurt, nut butters, protein, anything we could to get some weight on him. We saw a nutritionist and tracked everything he ate. We saw his pediatrician almost weekly for weigh-ins. I supplemented breast milk with formula and pumped constantly to increase my supply.
He was still just 12 pounds on his first birthday and I felt like a failure as a mother. Every time the doctor weighed him and he hadn’t gained weight I almost broke down crying. He was otherwise healthy, no stomach issues or underlying health conditions. No one could figure out why he wasn’t gaining.
Eventually he just sort of…grew out of it (literally). By 2 he was a normal weight and he’s now a perfectly healthy 4 year old. But at the time it felt like an insurmountable problem, and not one I could fix by “just feed him more”. I still don’t know what caused it, but I feel for the mom in that screenshot. “Failure to thrive” is loaded language that makes already isolated and exhausted new moms feel like shit.
My daughter is this same way, as I am. She's about 65 pounds at almost 11. When I was her age I was a little less. When she was younger, she didn't go past 25 pounds until she was almost 3. She was eating table food around 4 months old, with formula and cereal. She was about 11 pounds at birth.
I myself have never been over 150 and I was at 150 the day she was born. When I was a teenager and even today I am accused of eating disorders all the time. Sometimes the baby is small naturally, sometimes it's something else. You take these cases case by case, not a blanket treatment.
I had the same issue when I was a baby. I was gaining weight, but was significantly smaller than a typical baby of my age through all the stages despite the fact that I was eating well. Honestly, since both my parents are extremely small and were also very small babies, I have wondered if it was just genetic, and I can see how that label would be upsetting if you're already feeding your baby as much as they'll eat.
yeah, it felt kinda weird that kiwi jumped straight to "she's starving her baby, she needs to go to jail!" like that could def be the case but maybe there's something wrong and it's not her fault, and if that is the case i feel for her, if she refused to add more calories to the formula i would get being upset but it genuinely just sounds like she's trying and doesn't know what to do and is upset because she feels like she's not a good mom. i'm not a mother so i don't know, but that's what i saw when i heard the story.
I did not have this issue personally but I have a friend who did. It was so rough for her! She felt like she was doing something wrong but she was going above and beyond!
I agree, as a breastfeeding momma for SURE. At her 1 week checkup, my daughter had lost 10.3% of her body weight. She was born at 9lbs 13oz and went down to about 8lbs 11oz. So not a small baby at all, but she had lost more than the usual 7%-10% which, yes, can be cause for concern. They told me I HAD to start formula (no other options), even though I was seeing a lactation consultant who wasn't concerned with my milk supply as it had just kicked in. I started exclusively pumping and feeding my baby bottles bc I was so anxious about her intake. Turns out, she just needed another couple of days to kick back up in weight and for my milk to fully come in. So she never actually needed the formula, and I got stuck pumping 70oz of milk a day 😅 every baby is different and sometimes babies are on their own personal curve and that's okay!!!
I was so confused when the mom that wanted to circumsize her child against the wishes of her husband brought up the fact that her husband was pro vaccines. Like, are you trying to make the argument that he cares about his son's health and well being, so that's why he's pro vax and anti circumcision? Like what?
I think it's because she was pro preventative care and she thought he was too because he is pro vaccines
no she's trying to explain that it's weird that her husband would be against a medical practice that could improve the health and hygiene of the kid considering he's pro vax. The dad's only argument seems to be that he wants his kid's dick to look like his. Meanwhile circumcision has literally been medically proven to improve hygiene and help prevent infections and diseases and its the reason why every official medical paper confirms it and why many adults do that procedure willingfully,and why majority of people who were circumcised when they were born seem to be glad about it once they grow up.
Circumcision can lower the risks of certain STDs specifically HIV and penile cancer according to the CDC.
At least that's my guess of why she would be comparing that and vaccines.
@@alexanderhenby1362circumcision is also known to cause a multitude of problems as the child grows and develops, though. Safe sex practices and good hygiene are the better option
Also, the husband is the one who has a penis and therefore his two cents on the matter is probably fairly helpful, no? Obviously it should be a joint decision but the mom will never personally know what it’s like to be cut vs. uncut, if I were her I’d be thankful he was there to help me understand a little better.
If her child is 22, thats gen Z. Why are we still blaming things on Millennials? 😂

A small note about hospitals in America (I'm assuming the newborn baby antibiotics story was in America) that I actually know. I use to work in a hospital kitchen. I delivered MANY meals to the Maternity ward. But they don't just send you up stuff. The patient actually had to, you know, order the food. If the lady wasn't eating, that means she wasn't ordering and waiting until like 8PM to complain to the nurses who, at that point, might have access to a ham sandwich and a juice box, but that's about it. Now, I only laid in a Maternity Ward bed for about 5 minutes (they wanted help with some sort of publicity video, and I was delivering food nearby), but they're quite comfortable. I have no idea why she was laying in the reclining chair after giving birth, since those are really meant for the fathers, and they haven't doubled up on Maternity Wards in years.
Personally, I think there's a lot of intentionally making the story seem worse than it actually is (whether by her own malicious ignorance or just making things up, no idea).
She wasn't in the maternity ward, she had a home birth, she was probably in the children's ward if not a regular children's hospital.
She had a home birth and only checked the baby into the hospital for breathing issues. She didn’t bother to check herself into the hospital but she is mad no one is paying attention to her. She probably just didn’t fucking say anything…
I work in pediatrics and I have reported several parents for medical neglect for repeatedly going AMA. It's not much, but it's the only thing I can do in these types of situations.
With the baby story, my mother had wanted to do a home birth for me (with a home nurse and a doula ect.), but I ended up being nearly 3 months premature, and she accepted the fact that for her own safety, and for my little newborn baby body's safety, she had to go to a hospital to give birth. She would have liked to take me home after a couple of days, but again, because my little newborn body wasn't working right, she understood the best option for my life was to keep me in the NICU for a couple of months. If she hadn't, I wouldn't be typing this.
Parents who refuse to give their babies and children lifesaving care are just killing their kids.
But half of them get away with it so they all think it means they will all get away with it.
The baby meconium thing (I know I spelled that shit wrong) is actually something that happened to me. I was on ECMO and don't have a jugular on my right anymore because of it.

I nearly died because they didn't keep me long enough at the hospital and I had complications. My mom knew I was premature and she asked to stay longer so they could do more checks and they refused. My lungs weren't fully formed. I nearly choked to death. Take the doctor's advice on saving your baby.
Ok so I can understand your unique circumstances and it was wrong of your parents if you had actually shown signs of issues. (To be clear I'm not in any way anti-med or anti-science very much the opposite) however the things that were described by that post were misconstrued/misunderstood the baby was just a home birth. A healthy home birth. I personally would never have a baby at home with no prenatal care but it should be a inherent right particularly in a country like America where health care isn't free and a single healthy birth is $30,000 not counting pre-natal care. We should not be able to force people to get something they must pay for particularly something that could have devastating financial effects (like homelessness, bankruptcy, etc) without a immediate/impending risk death or permanent health issues. With a home birth they often highly suggest that you take the baby in for a quick physical immediately afterwards particularly if there was any birth situations that was abnormal (breach, longer then 24hr of labor, cord wrapped around neck, etc) the baby from her description appears to have been fine (although based on the type of talk she was doing I suspect the baby did have a moment of difficulty clearing lungs or didn't cry immediately and had to be stimulated but this is quite normal in a breach birth) in my personal opinion she's wrong to not provide her child with the modern medicine we have available that helps protect so much but it is her right if the child isn't in immediate danger. That said, hospitals and doctors do actively discriminate and make life difficult for people Who don't just go along to get along and do absolutely everything they are told to do by doctors. I don't agree with her at all, but if we take away her right? S to do those things, then we will be endangering everybody else's right to make their own health decisions based on what they know or what they feel or what They're experiencing, ultimately, you know your body best, and if you don't want a treatment, then you shouldn't have to get that treatment. unfortunately, babies are at an age where they can advocate for themselves And so parents must do it for them. It sucks, but it is what it is.
@@lizf1353 That baby was clearly dying. And people can get government insurance which actually covers giving birth entirely. So your are just wrong (and to be clear not like that children can ask for the care they need even if they want it, so yeah children's right to proper medical could come above a parent's right's) and I'm not arguing with you about my stance. Post your rant on the video next time. thanks.
@@lizf1353no. also the cord around a babies neck will kill them if they’re pushed out. i would know because i had my umbilical cord around my neck. i almost didn’t fucking make it. i had to be an emergency c-section.

Exactly. She lucked out on a labor and delivery doctor who wasn’t a lazy pos and she blew him off???? Dumb. Ass.
The whole "I know better than doctors because I gave birth" thing annoys me so much. No you don't, you don't know better just because you popped out a human and they act like its the greatest accomplishment when all mammals can do it.
Fr, like in 2023 the biggest accomplishment is staying alive. No one gives a fuck what you do while alive it's just that you are alive 😭😭
They also seem to forget that, even if some doctors suck, they made the consious choice to devote their lives to helping people and trained for 10+ years and maintain a license to do so. Pregnancy can definitely suck and be a traumatic experience but it doesnt make you an expert in pediatrics.
@@spOOkytimes In addition, doctors and nurses can still be parents themselves! It's seriously astounding and concerning how 2-dimensionally these people think of others.
Totally agree with you on the doctors part. Cause they went to school for half their life lol so I know they know better. But pushing out a baby is a great accomplishment. Everybody is not able to do so for whatever reasons so it’s a great thing (for most people) when they are able to do so.
Especially when there’s a reasonable chance that some of the doctors giving this advice have given birth themselves…
I think the one about the dad wanting his son to "look the same" was actually just the mom's assumption, rather than the dad's actual reason, Kiwi.
Yeah….I’m sure the dad knows it’s not the best to at least a bear minimum and that’s where he comes from maybe
Also, some people genuinely, unironically use that as a reason why they're pro-circumcision. It's weird hearing it used as a reason against.
But the weird thing is that the wife now knows someone who is uncut, and STILL uses the argument of preventative care: I don't understand why she didn't ask her husband "Hey, did you ever suffer insane infections because of having a foreskin?" (because that's most of the times the arguments for having it done, which is a massively outdated idea behind doing it, while a massive amount of citizens in Europe is doing fine for decades, foreskin intact and all).

You can never have enough of Toxic Parent Discourse. Even seemingly innocuous things seem insidious in hindsight.
Instead of telling a child to not let anyone touch them privately, tell them that no one has the right to touch them like that.
The phrasing of "don't let anyone do that" can make it really confusing for children dealing with CSA who can't stop it, so it worsens the guilt and lowers the chance of them speaking up.
💯
right. and specify that no one has the right- save emergency situations or general medical professionals- to touch them against their wishes. strangers and family.
The fact that she’s doing it in the first place is a big red flag.

Yeah, like 5, almost 6 seemes like a concerning age to do that, idk if it's normal or not, so I could be wrong, but I'd check if the child got SA'd

So that second story sounds like an LDS family. I'm not Mormon so I may be off a little, but they believe that there are souls that kind of float around until you have a child. Having a child brings one of those souls into the world and gives them the chance to be saved and end up in the Celestial Kingdom. That's why LDS family's generally have so many children because you want to bring as many of those souls into this world as possible. They also believe that the souls choose their family which can lead to some really problematic opinions about child abuse. yay. xp
As an exmormon who grew up in the church I was thinking the same thing! That story is absolutely WILD!!! The church is soo.... its a lot man. so cultish and they'd rather die than admit that. As a Nonbinary Bisexual person who even went on an LDS mission I could tell some STORIES XD
As an LDS person you are exaggerating on. "I'm not Mormon so I may be off a little, but they believe that there are souls that kind of float around until you have a child."
And no not all Mormons believe that your soul chose your family. That is not doctrinal. So please stop. You are correct about the celestial kingdom. While many religions have problematic elements, what is even more problematic is to portray everyone in the entire faith as child abusers which is not the case. So yes you are a little off.
@@caladana1 They rather die to admit that. Ex-Mormons can also be a little bias. And you know good and well it is problematic to say Mormons have problematic opinions about child abuse.
@@lisah8438Nobody said everyone was a child abuser. They were saying that in cases of abuse it can be complicated by this belief that some Mormons share. It would be just as accurate to say that in families that don't trust the authorities, getting help for domestic violence can be problematic.
@@lisah8438it's odd how somany of these YT families are Mormon and do fucked up things. It's almost like the community behind it is abusive and the abuse is well hidden. It's weird weird weird how practically every exmo will talk about the abuse, lies, intimidation, contradictions, and how toxic the community is but some how it's not according to the people in the LDS? It's super weird how they said nothing about the religion being could abusers but that's what you surmised and if the shot fits then it fits. It's almost like you know this happens in the community and you're trying to convince people that this cult that was made by a weird sex addict doesn't abuse children when weirdly enough almost every exmo says so and the almost drastic number of family annihilaters are Mormon.
i was born on december 9th and kept in the hospital until christmas eve due to being a premature baby. nothing serious happened while i was there, but imagine if it did. my older brother was adopted so my mom had never looked after a newborn before. despite me being “ok” i was kept in the hospital for a precaution in case i stopped doing ok. between my mom and grandparents, someone was always in the hospital with me and they couldn’t even fathom the idea of complaining about it. they trusted that the doctors knew what was best unlike the mom with the newborn baby. complications in babies are quite common and she’s legit risking her babys life so she can sleep in her bed 🙄
Literally up until the second world war, babies and children were always dying. That is why there was a BABY BOOM at the time. Medical advancements were a major product of the war. You’d birth eight kids and five would make it to adulthood and then three would die in various accidents and conflicts and horrible workplaces and random illnesses before your hair even turned white. You’d pass away at the age of 62 with 2/8 children living.
Oh no, a 9 month old throwing tantrums because you can't do the bare minimum?! Time for baby jail!

some parents really need to take a developmental psych class. you learn about when babies should start babbling, when they start talking, when they start to feel certain emotions, how much weight they should gain and when, etc. like i don’t even want kids and i know all of this stuff 😅
It's definitely good to know even if you don't want kids:)
My first comment was on babbling (we just covered that in my child development psych course)
That's my Big Idea To Fix It All. Having a kid? You take the class, which is a comprehensive child development and anatomy course.
It's like jury duty, your boss has to give you the time, you're paid to attend. It's pass/fail, at the end you get a notarized document certifying that you know the developmental stages of s human child, and that you can't stand there claiming you didn't know better if you shake a baby or something.
I think it would really streamline things.
Plenty of parents really need to take a psych evaluation or to go to prison, too, but here we are. It’s astounding how many people are willing to die on the hill that one should get to procreate and do nearly whatever they want with their kids.
I almost cried when she wouldn’t treat her baby what is up with these parents. Love you ❤
Some people are so full of themselves that they are willing to hurt or kill the ones they love just to feel good in a odd way….

I don’t think the woman whose baby was borderline failure to thrive was fat shaming her baby i think it was about the formula vs breastfeeding debate. There are lots of reasons a baby could be failure to thrive and it’s possible her baby isn’t eating or she’s not producing enough milk. She’s likely feeling inadequate because the doctors are telling her she needs to supplement with formula and she feels like they’re telling her she’s failed as a mother so she’s trying to rationalize the babies size to herself so she doesn’t feel that guilt.
My niece has always been tiny and was borderline failure to thrive, she just never ate much she was breastfed and formula fed and we’d constantly have to be waking her up and trying all sorts of tricks to keep her eating. It’s like she doesn’t feel herself being hungry. She had to be put on an appetite stimulant. They definitely weren’t starving their baby but it was and is frustrating to hear that she’s not making enough progress when you’re doing everything you can.
Yeah some people just don't feel hungry until they are like getting a headache from low blood sugar and stuff. I speak from experience, if someone does seem to have something like that going on I do recommend the doc looking into neurodevelopmental disorders when they are old enough to be tested, since it is a common thing in quite a few of those.
Also could be metabolic or genetic (some people's bodies can't process body fat and don't learn this until they get like throwing-up-for-days sick.
And some people aren't failing to thrive they're just going to be an itty bitty person or really skinny / lanky person.
And premies are going to be smaller for their age, and have a delay on when things happen based on how early they were born. Someone born 6 weeks early is going to hit milestones 6 ish weeks past the normal mark for that weight, size, other thing.
Doctors need to be better at letting parents know that there could be multiple reasons their child is struggling with weight or size and that it isn't their fault (if they're doing everything right).
I was failure to thrive because my mom couldn’t produce enough milk and the doctors kept repeatedly saying she had to breastfeed me and pushing it on her. Finally her at home nurse looked at her chart and told her that mothers with head injuries often struggle to produce enough milk and she should just switch to formula. It was wild, though. Like, they made her feel truly ashamed for not being able to breastfeed.
My special needs son was declared failure to thrive because he is extremely picky and I had to come up with differently ways to get him to eat and it can still be a struggle. I feel for that mom. My son had to have weigh ins and the doctor finally didn't want to schedule another weigh and he is 5 now
As a witch myself I want to ask, why would I waste my time with some random mom? 😂 I personally don’t gaf lol and am not out to get Christians 😂 Christians freak me out.

@@axisavani3186 That would be true if magic was real, but what you are is a nondenominational neopagan, which sounds a lot lamer.
thank you for actually calling it genital mutilation bc thats what it is and anyone who says otherwise is wild it should be considered child abuse no matter religion and IF they want it done they can have it done at 18 for their religion (only exception is when it fuses and causes issues with hygeine/ability to urinate)
It's a really difficult topic for me as a former Orthodox Jew. I mean I know now that it's wrong and there's no justifying it, but we do really have to contend with the fact that it IS a religious practice and it IS targeting a religion to ban it. Like the notion of waiting until 18 to do it means mandating that parents are not allowed to have their children in The Covenant. Which sounds silly when you're outside of it but it sounds like serious oppression when you're in it. I mean I don't know what to do with this information but it's definitely something that can't be ignored when dealing with the issue on a societal level.
@@zenleeparadise Something being important to a religion does not exempt it from the law. There are plenty of religions that promote a variety of cruel and horrific practices, nobody gets special treatment. If your religion is so extreme that it's incompatible with laws against child abuse then... idk what to tell you?
Not a religious person, but I think circumcision is somewhat beneficial to being clean (physically, like hygiene-wise) not to mention that a lot of men experience complications with their genitals because the head can't fit all the way out of that excess skin, sometimes resulting in swelling and hospital trips. Some uncut men eventually go to the hospital to remove it and experience INTENSE pain from the procedure that late in life. I don't like people doing this surgery "because it's gods will", but every cut man I've ever met says that they prefer it that way while lots of uncut men complain. To each their own, but surgery isn't mutilation, if a rabbi does it THEN it's mutilation because it's not in a medical setting for medical reasons. Same for females, genital surgery isn't mutilation but when its for religious reasons it's mutilation (big issue in less developed countries)
@@WaryJester There are no medically recognised benefits to circumcision, and even if there were it wouldn't justify mutilating a child's genitals without consent. Circumcision is a cosmetic surgery. The notion that "it's cleaner" is psychotic.
Phimosis, the condition you're describing, is rarely treated with circumcision, generally it's treated by just stretching the foreskin.
@@zenleeparadise allowing child mutilation for any religion or reason is disgusting and should be illegal
Thank you for the medical ignorance rant. It's beyond ridiculous and infuriating. I think there is a way for the hospital to be granted guardianship temporarily but it's a whole legal risk/procedure.
I'm still flabbergasted by the Jehovah's Witness policy of not accepting blood transfusions. I think there is an age limit where kid's can override their parents for life saving measures but damn.
Glad that they are starting to override religious exemptions more in this area.
Forcing a person who has 0 power in their medical care to suffer and potentially die should be considered neglect and abuse. Just like it would be for secular people. Tired of religion being used to torture innocent people.
My ex was JW and his mom died because she wasn't conscious and his grandma refused a blood transfusion. Not only did she die, but he was still a kid and it literally ruined his life. I don't even like him and I still feel seething hatred inflate within me when I see these people leave their flyers and try to call me or come to my door. I wanna be like HOW DARE YOU SPREAD THIS BS. I know they're all indoctrinated to the point where they don't grasp the full impact of what they're doing because it's a cult but my god....I've never come so close to feeling like advocating for making organized religious institutions illegal.
@@rocketpsyenceyou ever cuss them out? They never ever visit me. I caught some mormons in my subdivision once about a year and a half ago. I was in a mental warzone so it didn’t connect for me until I burrowed back into my house and put the weird white suit and tie and books together. I would have cussed them out but my hiding instinct is stronger lol
@thaloblue I think my first urge is to do that and let them have it, but I remember when I was young and was involved in conservative relation and even joined a cult at one point - I know how their minds work. If you cuss them out, they view it as vindication and see themselves as sort of martyrs or people being persecuted for their faith. It will help them reinforce their already deeply internalized mindset that the world is wicked and actively refuses [whatever their version of God is] and sets them against reason even worse. The thing that sucks is a lot of time they're so indoctrinated they think even being tempted to question anything is a sin so sitting them down and giving them extra information won't help either because someone in their cult will rationalize it away. That's WHY these things have such a crazy grip on people. My tactic these days is maybe a bit counter intuitive, but it's sharing secular joy and friendliness. Because I remember that one of the things that started me questioning religion was not people militantly declaring my god didn't exist and I was crazy - what really made me start questioning was seeing atheists and agnostic people who were more moral and kind and loving than any of the people in my own life. Basically seeing that all the reasons I thought I needed to cling to a religion were wrong. That I wouldn't just immediately descend into like baby torturing evil and hate if I left religion. Like being agnostic wouldnt mean being automatically selfish or cruel. Because I was GENUINELY AFRAID that I did not have an innate capacity for good. The propaganda runs deep. It still took some other catalysts and reasoning for me to finally leave, but that was a huge part of it. So these are the things I keep in mind when interacting with people deeply entrenched in cults and conservative religion.
@@rocketpsyence It's funny you say that. I've had coworkers shocked I was atheist because I'm so friendly and nice. It really confused me but you're right, they think religion makes you a moral person.
I have another coworker who is a militant atheist and he is very insulting to believers and it is definitely counter productive. I can appreciate the good things religion brings (community, charity, hope) but I don't mind criticizing the misogyny and the hypocrisy if I see it.
My heart truly breaks for the kids whose parents deny them vaccinations and medical care. Like we joke and all but at the end of the day it's a very serious and tragic thing. So many kids die who could have been saved because of their crazy parents.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Dora thing was just a dream the mom was having, she sounds extremely paranoid.
Studying linguist here! With the one 9 month old with pronouncing stuff, 'm' is actually one of the easiest sounds to make for anybody of any age, along with 'b'. 'G' is actually a harder sound to make, because as sounds move farther make in the throat it becomes harder to voice them (so 'k' would be a lot easier to make). D is somewhere in the middle, but still needs practice. This is one of the reasons why babies usually say "mama" before "dada", not because they favourite one parent over the other or know what it means, but because the sound is easier to make.
I'd like to point out that at 9 months old it's common for kids to start learning how to say simple words like ma, mom, dad, etc. This person is expecting that their baby not only know how to form full sentences but also know sign language & understand every world they say on top of that then gets upset that a literal baby hasn't graps those thing yet. Sounds like someone doesn't understand that babies have to learn things & they don't understand things from the second they're born
Actually it's another few months until they know those sounds have meaning. Before 10 months you're heading babbling, nonsense sounds made of both consonants and vowels.
They learn it has meaning when people respond certain ways to certain sounds (saying "yes that's me" when the child makes a maa sound).
They're leaning to make hard sounds not words. The babbling stage is normally between 8 and 10 months, with first actual understood words being around 10 to 13 months.
@alexisflory6496 Ah. Okay. Thank you for the information. Still, the fact stands that the mom in that post expected her baby to grasp things at an age when they wouldn't have & then wanted to act like their baby was developementy delayed

My parents, who probably shouldn't have had kids to begin with, are trying to force me or my sister to give them grandchildren as if they're entitled to it. My fiance and I have decided not to have kids because we're both mentally ill and I have chronic pain that I wouldn't want to pass onto potential children (plus either of us carrying would make us extremely dysphoric). My sister and her partner are in college and using their money to survive, not a situation you should bring a kid into. Apparently, having two people with minimum wage jobs is enough to make a kid these days.
What that one mum who refused prenatal care and is refusing treatment for her newborn doesn't know is that all those doctors and nurses are on the phone with child protection to negotiate social work involvement to enforce medical care. Keep rolling those eyes and laughing all the way to court, lady, because you're gonna lose medical custody of your kids.
My oldest was failure to thrive due to an undiagnosed food allergy. He's 19 now, 5'9 and about 150 lbs. We worked with a nutritionist when he started solids to make sure he had enough fat in his diet, since most children get their fat from dairy, which he (still) can't eat.

I, like most men in Britain, am uncut. I've not had any hygiene issues. I did have an issue with it not going back properly, which is relatively common, but it's fairly easily fixable and, this is key, you can always get cut as an adult if it's bothering you.
I think most of the world is uncut. It's just that the US thinks they're the center of everything.
How is it that humans still exist when most of the men who ever lived have been uncut?
I’m not kidding, American medicine is full of propaganda. Doctors were very content with lying and over exaggerating for a long time. Every time we criticize these stupid women for being idiots, we have to partially blame the medical field for being so untrustworthy especially in America. Its been infested with religious propaganda - pastors wanted boys to stop masturbating so everybody started pushing circumcision. Medical practice has deeply racist roots in the USA, with every race INCLUDING white women going in for routine procedures and leaving mysteriously sterilized. Most white women were not sterilized, but if you were rumored to be a sex worker or you contracted an STD, suddenly you were barren. American doctors had an entire town of black people infected with a disease for DECADES. Just for experiments. The treatment was available. It wasn’t even expensive. They just let that disease run wild for the thrill of it. I am pro-vaccine, but I cannot pretend early American Medicine was not synonymous with scams, fuckery, and intentional harm.

9:09 i did the same thing as a kid, like most people do, and my mom's response was very helpful for me. she didn't say exactly what it was called but she would call it my private parts. it helped me understand both that it was something i should do alone, at that age at least, and that nobody else could touch me there. i did still end up being abused like that but i still had a concept of it being wrong(it was my father so it was more complicated) but those conversations helped me express what happened when i realized i could. she also explained the basics of sex to me at 8 because i asked and she's always been pretty open about that kinda stuff with me(to an age appropriate level ofc) and it's prevented me from further abuse. it also built trust between us early on. all this to say i love my mom❤️
she's also the reason i'm able to be on T(i'm a teen) and has helped me explore my gender/sexuality. i also taught her about asexuality and she now identifies as demisexual. she's my favorite person and y'all's moms should take notes

yknow maybe it's not such a bad idea to have mandatory certification before having children. and I'm a small government kinda person. but my goodness, this and other real life examples of people I've seen while working EMS......yeesh
edit: I absolutely agree, care for a child should be forfeited from the parents and go to the state if the healthcare professionals agree the minor should stay in the hospital to receive treatment. like there's too many cases of children dying or having serious complications cuz their parents denied healthcare. fuck that shit
I cannot bear to think if they pulled that baby out by the legs. Horrible for the spine. A bad birth can set a baby’s health on the wrong path for life.
"I'm exhausted from having to guess every day what this child needs." So basically you're complaining that your baby acts *checks notes* like a baby?

Maybe we could convince the “I don’t believe in pronouns” mum to get Jeffree Star makeup for her son by informing her that Jeffree Star is also one of the “I don’t believe in pronouns” people?🤔
loving the animal crossing switch earrings, my sisters have that exact switch!! and, istg, i know ive seen people like this irl. they're kind of... insane, yeah. saw a mum giving me dirty looks on a bus when i pulled my phone and headphones out (my autistic ass needs the sensory block lol) and then she pulled *her* phone out and literally shoved cocomelon in her baby's face. this baby looked like they were barely old enough to even be out in the world. kid didn't seem too happy either.
what's worse? literally shoving cocomelon in an already calm baby's face or an autistic teen with headphones lmao
What was her fucking problem?? It wasn’t as if you were playing something on your phone out loud. Wtf was she eyeing you for? Sorry I feel a bit protective. My brother is special needs, somewhere on the spectrum, and I just want him to be happy. I also have an autistic roommate and seriously autism is a very large spectrum and if it is managed well you are perfectly capable of living a normal life so this stuff just pisses me off. And she was a lowlife screen mother on top of that. Ugh.
I love the fact that the only special thing the soon to be mother connects with her realtionship to her now husband is the dating app tinder, where the met and that it is so heartwarming for her that she plans to name her baby girl after this very app. I would really start question this realtionship after hearing this incident...
A baby has a couple god-damned teeth in their head at 9 months..IF that. How can they talk?
Insane mother: SAY SOMETHING!
Baby with two indentations in their gums: MAAAAAAAAA
As someone taking a basic human development class right now, the 9 month old daughter one hurts my soul
What about the part where the spread misinformation about circumcision? You missed that?
@@Ithinkyousuckrealbad you’re bitching at a college student for what exactly?
Are you taking psych human development or medical human development? I miss my psych human development classes. Piaget is my favorite early psychologist. As far as we know he had no evil experiment era. He just observed his family generation by generation at the ski lodge they owned and wrote down very consistent insights.
Okay, the formula one I give the benefit of the doubt on cause at least here in America there are way too many doctors who are completely uneducated about breastfeeding and whats healthy/normal for a breastfed baby and will shame/pressure/scare mothers into feeding their babies formula cause they view breastfeeding as inferior.
And in the usa most baby formula has corn syrop, which is very unhealthy so I completely understand why a mother would prefer breastfeed
Labor and delivery doctors are consistently the stupidest people in the medical industry. We used to say if you flunked every class you’d end up a psych doctor, but I genuinely believe that’s not where the dumbasses go anymore. They go to the birthing farm - a corporate hospital that butchers women up and yanks the child out of them in time for the doctor’s supper.
My mom is in a Facebook group for moms and I can confirm, they are crazy
On the pronouns thing, my best friend tried to prevent me from answering my goddaughter's question about if I was "a girl or a boy?". I was about to explain that I'm neither and answer in an age appropriate manner that gender isn't what's between our legs and all that. Both my friend and her husband ganged up on me and said "you better not teacher her this non-binary bullsh*t," and my friend said "I don't what her turning around to me when she's 14, saying "mum, I'm a they," like my cousin did to my sister. I don't want her to be comfused with that non-binary gender stuff, maybe when she's older, we'll tell her,". And I just threw up my hands, and thought to myself "well sis, she's gonna be even more confused when you completely shatter the simplified worldview you coddled her with. It's better to explain now to save the hassle and bigotry later, but hey, your kid, you "know" how to teach your children better than a literal early childhood educator, as well as eventual child psychologist and crunchy mother. Yep, totally know better,".
If they're old enough to ask, they're old enough to know. Poor girl, my goddaughter, every time I visit, she's brimming with questions, constantly curious, and I do my best to answer her truthly and age appropriately, so she comprehends the world around her which she's so inquisitive to understand. But I just get the feeling my friend doesn't do the same. She's 4, and speaks like a 2 year old. She struggles to get out sentences that at her age should be full and near comprehensable.
Among other things.
My friend blatantly refuses to take anyone's advice unless it's Mommacusses or Toni Phantom. She won't even take her mother's advice cause "you're not her mother! You don't know what she needs!". So defensive and silky.
I worry for the day my goddaughter turns 18. She'll most likely be at my doorstep, overweight and underachieved in her education, within 6 months of becoming an adult. Then it would be up to me to help her become an adjusted, healthy, self esteemed adult. I hope it doesn't have to come down to that, however I gladly welcome the challenges ahead.
It takes patience to parent and reparent. Patience not even my friend has.
If you're truly a good parent, you would almost never get impatient or prevent them from playing outside. You'd feed them real fruit and veges, and never complain about the price. Because veges cost less in the long run compared to medical bills for obesity related diseases. And a few hours here and there indulging your child's curiosity is far more fulfilling than scrolling tiktoks ahout women who echo chamber your parenting biases, feeling sorry for yourself while grumping on your kids for interrupting your selfish "me" time. You chose to have kids young before being fully mature, so don't blame them for your immature reactions.
Breaking generational cycles, my freaking a** 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yikes on bikes dude, sure fruits and vegetables cost less than medical care later but if you can’t buy the fruit and vegetables today you can’t buy them. I don’t even have kids but I lived with a single mom with a toddler and she couldn’t do anything. She couldn’t stand there and chopped vegetables and prepare dinner for an hour without her kid absolutely flipping out and destroying the house. And that’s what would happen. Her house has been destroyed for eight years now.
The dichotomy of being against gender expression but following mommacusses and Toni phantom is just… impressive actually lmao
That is not your “best friend.” No one even remotely nice to you would refer to your gender orientation as “nonbinary bullshit.”
That mother who's young daughter was pleasuring herself... Obviously, she handled it horribly. But as a mother, I'd be very concerned that she'd begun figuring things like that out at 5. I would definitely speak to her, try to make sure she was safe, that no one had traumatized her or anything. I'd definetely talk to a therapist to ask how I should handle it, being that she is so young. But that seems concerning.
It could go either way. If the girl knows too much terminology or slang for her body that definitely didnt come from tv or parents talking that could be another red flag. But 5-7 is the earliest that kids can discover themselves. It is more common with boys because, well, it is sticking out. But if a girl has more prominent anatomy she can absolutely discover it.
Eh, toddlers learn about the ‘good feelings’, I’ve worked in childcare a looooooong time and it’s not uncommon at all. A gentle redirection about appropriate places is usually all that’s needed (ie you can do it in your bedroom or the bathroom). Older kids you might check just to be sure, especially if it’s sort of new behaviour or obsessive or anything like that. A gentle conversation about your body being your body etc.
24:20 I just want to say that we experienced something similar with my little brother
he would have been marked with the "failure to thrive" thing if the nurse/doctor person didn't personally know my mom
he was her fifth baby and she was doing everything she knew and he just wouldn't put on weight
I'm honestly very thankful to lady who decided not to mark him with "failure to thrive" cuz that's like a red flag to CPS and my little brother is now in hs and struggled with attendance due to different neurodivergent things to the point that CPS was almost involved and I do believe that they would have been had he had any prior red flags like the failure to thrive thing
(I have never felt less literate than when I was trying to type this jesus christ . . . )
anyway, my mom now works with babies and new mothers professionally that struggle with similar problems
and I guess all I'm trying to say is that while I don't know this particular mother's situation (and she doesn't really sound like the best mom), these things can happen even if you're doing "everything right" or what would normally be right for a typical baby. Doesn't mean your a bad mom, just that you have to keep trying to figure out what's wrong and what will help your baby (but being dismissive of the issue does kinda make you a bad mom imo)
Ugh the homebirth parents are very frustrating, for a few reasons;
Firstly, I want to say that I don’t support the decision to reject all of the standard newborn care offered by the hospital - for example, vitamin k is given to reduce the risk of developing a brain bleed and has a boatload of evidence supporting it as safe & effective. Eye ointment on the other hand is probably not necessary for most babies and a lot of people choose to skip it altogether and doing so isn’t seen as an act of neglect or anything, at least not in the hospital where I had my child. antibiotics are not being recommended because the doctors are sure the baby has an infection, it’s because they are not sure if that is the case or not and they want to prevent complications from potential infections that are possible to contract during labor and delivery and while I think it’s unwise for the parents to ignore this advice, I don’t think that it rises to the level of literally letting the baby die because they don’t want to treat an infection
If they were in Canada and not the USA, they would be in a significantly safer position to have a homebirth because here we actually regulate that sort of thing and midwives are highly trained medical professionals who are taught to notice potential complications and get their patients to the hospital should anything start to go wrong .
I get the sense that this couple is deeply misinformed and that is concerning, but I don’t think they are actively & knowingly causing harm to their baby.
Obviously they still could be actually terrible and not care about their baby at all and that would be awful
But I am hopeful that they are just not actually informed about the risks of choosing not to do these things and are capable of doing better when they are better informed
There are certified midwives in the US like Certified Nurse Midwives that are highly trained for UNCOMPLICATED births but I don’t think these people would’ve used one of them if they’d known that…
The reason why I say that they’d have been better off if they had tried to do a home birth in Canada is not that I don’t know that actual midwives exist in the US, it’s because those midwives are not (typically? There could be states that are exceptions to this that I’m not aware of) allowed to participate in homebirths .
so if that’s something the parents value a lot & are really set on doing then they essentially have no choice but to roll the dice and hire someone who is not licensed
5:03 i wouldnt talk for YEARS. a dr almost thought i was deaf but i reacted to everything. my brother said he prayed for me to finally talk when he was a toddler, then followed with "apparently it worked too well" bc i never shut up
I only come across your channel on my recommended a few times a month but every time I watch them they’re always amazing! I saw the skzoo plushies and wondered why I didn’t subscribe earlier, great to see another stay!
for tinderleigh, i feel like timberly would have been a good substitute
I used to bartend at a large, high-traffic, all-ages arcade & the number of moms specifically who came up to me & asked if they could start a tab for their under-10yo (for soda & candy), take their card back, & could I keep an eye on their kid while they go shopping? was disgusting. Like… absolutely not. Judging by their cards & where they said they were going shopping they were definitely able to afford childcare, it was just more “convenient” for them to abandon their child in an actual BAR run by a skeleton crew that is not and cannot be responsible for YOUR ACTUAL CHILD WTF. Childcare is is own industry FOR A REASON.
Objectively one of the best things you can find when you check your phone just after school
Totally on board with this video! 👍 It's a breath of fresh air to see someone addressing the overreactions to fictional content in kids' shows. Kids grow at their own pace, and placing unrealistic expectations on them is just setting them up for disappointment. I've always believed kids aren't an extension of our desires - they need their own identity and choices. The point about educating on body awareness without scaring them? Spot on! The circumcision debate needs more awareness and understanding. As for parents wanting vacations without responsibilities, it's a reminder that parenting is a lifelong commitment. The excessive month denominations always puzzled me; simplicity is key. Rushing into relationships and naming choices based on trends isn't wise. And most importantly, the health of a newborn should always be a priority, and professional advice should never be ignored.
Someone told me to stop “doing the months thing” when I described my niece as being 11 months old. I could have said almost 1, but that’s just more accurate.
It's literally an age where things happen so fast.
It's just logical to use months for the age
It's good to use months for the first 2 years but like when they're 3 it's just kinda odd 😭😭
2 years (24 months) and below are important but it would be strange past that.
@@Musicbased39 i'm pretty sure it's common at least for medical professionals to measure children's age in months until they're 3 years.
@@xyzzyx4839 ohhhhh, alright
i agreed with most everything you said except the Circumcision issue. I am a nurse, and I have seen many cases of adult men needing to have a circ because of infections and complications of not being cut. It is a HORRIBLE experience for adults to go through. Its kind of like tonsillectomies. It's easier to have that done as a child, but can have major complications if done as an adult.
"Souls need to be born for ancestral or karmic reasons... now I'm stuck having 2 kids"
I was driving listening to this and hearing that threw me so hard i fucking hit a barrier. WHAT THE FUCK
When she mentionned that kid who discovered her body and said "you should tell her no one else can touch her there" no i have the
:*clap* hey *clap CLAP* don't touch me there *clap CLAP* this is my no no square*clap CLAP* then again in a 🤖voice HeY dOn'T tOucH mE tHerE thiS iS My nOnO squareeee. Didt even got toufht it in school just saw it in a video now i get it atuck in mt head everytime i hear abt concent. Tbh it helps me not get into flash backs.
Oh Dear, it is the best episode 😄 I love how outraged the shit on the internet makes you feel. It is great! I totally adore you and your attitude ❤ i feel exactly the same as you
World has gone totally craaazy....
Cheers!
25:13 how can’t anyone want a chunky baby? I don’t want kids and have no interest but a chunky baby, is the cutest
Babies are supposed to be fat and happy! That’s the only age where we can be 100% jelly rolls without criticism.
I feel bad for the son who felt safe enough to ask for a pallet only for this to be his mother’s reaction. He’s not going to feel that security anymore.
Facebook mom groups radiate boy mom vibes
My parents refused to give me antibiotics until I was weeks into being sick (I was sick for an entire month once), and now I have literal sinus region cysts because of the constant infections, causing me to get a sinus infection every time I get a cold now. Some people need to get a grip on reality.
You usually stop counting months at/around 2. Because 15 months, 18 months and 24 months...etc all have very different milestones and skills but after that yeah stop counting 🤣
I POSTED THE FIRST ONE TO THE REDDIT GROUP!!! 😂😅
For some reason when the video started and I saw when it was posted I thought “what if the one I posted….nahhh”. Lolol but here it is 😂 this is HILARIOUS that it’s in this video.
Edit: I just want to add here (I talked about it in the Reddit comments), but I knew that girl and went to school with her for over a year. Me, her, and another girl were a really good friend trio. At the time, she was totally normal and cool. She was sort of on a spiritual journey, but just open dialect about it, nothing crazy. I mean, she even joked and talked about smoking weed. (Which is literally no big deal lol). We went different ways after that year, and her FB posts turned into what it is now. Hopefully she gets out of it for the sake of her kids 🤷🏼♀️
My mom was the kind who wouldn’t let me and my siblings consume anything containing magic and let me tell you-it’s as bad as it sounds. I had to hide any interesting piece of media I wanted to consume because most stuff contained of things she thought would rot my mind and expose me to Satan. I literally got grounded and put into therapy for reading Harry Potter.
The one where they had this home birth, BREECH, no prenatal care, no screening for GBS, no vaccines, no eye ointment and no vitamin k??? Absolutely blew my mind. I’m a mom of 2 and a medical laboratory technician and I can’t stress how dangerous what she did was and then rejecting all possible treatment? Not having a PKU (which screens for like 72+ metabolic disorders- some of which can be fatal if not caught early and met with intervention) is a CRIME. Also vitamin k prevents babies from having fatal gut and brain bleeds it’s literally just a vitamin that encourages blood clotting because your liver normally makes it but babies have poor liver function! .-. And then GBS if your baby contracts it- it’s a super high mortality rate. It’s just normal flora for a woman’s genitals but it can cause meningitis and cause deafness, blindness and death. If you did happen to contract chlamydia during pregnancy the eye ointment prevents the infection from causing your baby to go BLIND. Not even having to touch on the vaccine thing. That lady was seriously INSANE. I’m not against home birth but like, do it with some sense. Sometimes it’s reasonably safe and sometimes it shouldn’t be attempted for you and baby’s safety. Wtf.
She more or less wanted that child to die.
