Hot take because I do spend neurotic time building relationships and secret handshakes with other free range parents and doing mutual aid to develop a no snitches vibe. Takes effort!.
@MiriVinni Plenty of people are doing lack of neurosis parenting. they're the ones who put iPads in front of babies and have older children with obesity from feeding them soda and junk food. Not having a screen addicted kid now is only for neurotics.

Then I told them that what they really deserve is infinite hiccups and stuck burps, and every giggle is evidence of mercy upon them!.

I told them painful hiccups were never part of God's plan but are the result of the Fall, where God had to insert painful hiccups into the good good design for babies.

Babies discovering the problem of evil, where they giggled once and had painful hiccups for a half an hour. The sorrow is always greater.

Sitting in a room full of people I'd like to make friends with or used to socialize with a lot and not talking to them is such a tease. I hate church. The only reason to go is to sit in the nursery and talk to another mom. That's called fellowship.

I've never seen anything like it. Double identical dimples. If they are cuddled together they sometimes will fall asleep on their own.

They double giggle now. And then they have double half hour of baby hiccups. And make the same little sad face after each hiccup. This makes me feel like I'm going crazy but in an ok way, I am NOT used to having two identical baby faces.

I have separation anxiety for my twins. Like when one is napping in their room and the other is hanging out with us. The one feels naked.

When I start weight training from 0 the first day is absolute worst soreness. I bet a lot of people quit here and don't realize this is the most sore you'll be! It would be easy to assume that once you're squatting bodyweight you're the most sore!.

4 days of lifting but very limited. 4 sets a day. Seems impossible but I already feel stronger.

All the kids at bathtime were happy except one was like this. Don't come at me it was my kid who noticed the similarities.

You know what? Maybe they parented too intensively and they're burnt out. Maybe tending to every extracurricular and vacation and everything their hearts desired ain't it. Maybe I'm just hoping cause I'm not gonna be able to do all that.
This is a post on a public facebook group but I’ll blur the name because I’m not awful like the person who wrote this post. That last line is everything wrong with the American family. “I’ll see my them (sic) and my grandkids when I see them” 😫

Some kids this will all resolve on its own with time. Others will wake you hourly for years due to not learning how to fall asleep. If this is the case you can make a change!.

You can also cosleep and nurse at night as long as you want. That's fine! This is for those of us who haven't been sanctified into being ok without sleep haha.

The 4 mo sleep regression is the onset of object permanence. If your baby goes to sleep one way, they'll remember that when they wake up and need it again. You do not need to let an 8 week old scream it out but you can do some "manual snoo" and test the waters, give them 5, etc.
@ThymeToBeBorn If you don't get cracking before the "4 month regression" it gets exponentially harder very quickly from what I've observed. You've got to start ignoring those cries and night weaning earlier than you think.

People don't want to hear it. Often true.
@Dave66925928150 Gentle sleep trained from 8 weeks. I feel like you have to start it super early or it has to be CIO or you're screwed.

Please hire a night nurse if you do this 🤣.
@wil_da_beast630 Basically this. I’d aim for 10-20th percentile agreeableness, maximum openness, 60-80th percentile conscientiousness, and maximum IQ. Plus health/beauty of course.

It's like if these guys had a little more oomph.
@KaylaKatin @Nyct0phil3_x The greatest gift we've given our children is the knowledge they were created with science and money rather than two sweaty adults slamming their genitals together.

I prayed for signs. There were signs. I kept doubting. I think "husband being kind to me" is the biggest indicator of how strong my faith is and I don't know why. Last three days have been good so faith is strong.
I received so many signs that my twins were ok, meant to be, this was a good thing. 1. Someone spontaneously told me at the exact right moment that her sister gave a baby up for adoption as a teen and started drinking and never recovered.
