Daughter went back to school last week and I’m considering opening a betting pool with the other parents at work as to who gets sick first. It’s honestly stunning what a vector for infection school and daycare are.
It’s a valid fear but trust me, your kids will get you sick way more than the reverse. And you just deal with it.
My toddler daughter has gotten really big into the hobby of letting the dogs lick her food.
Update, wife already has a sore throat. Three days!
Congratulations!I'm 2 for 2 in predicting my babies' genders! Just found out I'm having a girl, and she's looking really healthy. So excited.
Also, those "old wives tales" about gender prediction? Welp, as someone who has already had a boy and is now having a girl, I can say firsthand that not all of them are bullshit. A lot of them were very, very true for me!
Congratulations, how exciting! How far along are you now?I'm 2 for 2 in predicting my babies' genders! Just found out I'm having a girl, and she's looking really healthy. So excited.

Thanks! And I'm about halfway there!
Blue light from electronics and non-incandescent lightbulbs, especially LEDs, buckbreaks the eyes hard, especially in the absence of the other wavelengths of the natural (sun's) spectrum. You need the entire frequency spectrum, from UV all the way to IR, and the timing also matters, because the sun's light changes throughout the day. Different wavelengths trigger different biochemical responses in the body when they hit the retina and penetrate the skin.
If you want to minimize the risk of SIDS, do not vaccinate your child. If you absolutely have to vaccinate it for one reason or another, wait as long as you can. Wait until it's at least 6 months old, preferably even older.
It would be equal parts arrogant and ignorant to disregard the knowledge obtained from empirical observations made over centuries and millennia, just because there's no conventional explanation from contemporary science. There's at least a grain of truth in every piece of folk wisdom, no matter how absurd it may seen. Science is for fags, Jews, and redditors. A white man learns from Nature herself.
Congratulations!
Places like Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul, Once Upon a Child are also good if you're okay with used items. I got a rocking bassinet that both of my daughters slept in from birth to 6 months until they moved to a crib for maybe 20% of retail price. Once your baby starts growing out of the onesies, these places are great for clothes that the kid is just going to outgrow in a few months anyway. Plus you can bring it back to resell once they've outgrown it if they haven't destroyed it. Also good for clothes that your in-laws buy for the kiddo that are already too small.
This is something we've been discussing at home for our soon to be born baby. The only real advantage we could come up with is breastmilk is free, which with the cost of raising a child these days is a pretty big advantage.
That's also a big reason we chose to. Then she was a premie and needed the extra goodness from the colostrum to put on weight. But be prepared for the unexpected. At 9 weeks I needed to have an unexpected surgery and couldn't breastfeed for 24 hours until everything was out of my system.
I needed to hear this. Thank you, fren.
Honestly talking to my parents and hearing about their frustrations with raising me and my siblings as a kid, and how they felt and dealt with it helped a bit. I always saw my parents as having it together as a kid, but now that I’m in their place, it’s kind of comforting having a glass of wine with my mother and hearing her talk about how hard it was on her. When growing up I had no idea, hearing it from someone who managed to end up with functional, well adjusted kids is good.
It's heavily dependent on area, I noticed our school in my area is still very conservative, they're not LGBTP crap and they are all older teachers, but the bigger town over in another area is complete opposite.
