My daughter has a large hemanginoma on her forehead from birth, she's almost 3 now. If I made 30% less money the surgery would be free. For us though, the children hospital quoted us $26,000 for a 45 minute surgery It was fine before but she's old enough now to ask why she has it, why kids poke it and why she can't "cut it off" We're incredibly greatful theres no real health issue and it's only cosmetic (you can't frequent a children's hospital and not cry for other parents and what they're dealing with) But it sucks knowing the cosmetic "elective" surgery is being held up solely because I made too much money for "free healthcare" yet not enough that we can throw down $26k willy nilly Regardless the surgery is scheduled
When you have 3 kids and you’re in that upper 30-40% you literally have to start triaging things. You want your kids to not be mouth breathers so you have to send them to the myofunctional dentist, which doesn’t take insurance, which isn’t an issue for the rich parents, but it is for you, so you’re trying to figure out which of your kids has it the worst before you send them in for an assessment ($300) followed by a take home sleep study ($500), then a 3d head jaw scan ($700) followed by the actual therapy and interventions they’ll try to sell you ($??????) and you’re doing this so that your kids won’t be relegated to the permanent ugly class and will have better long term health outcomes in a world where doctors are mostly retards and apathetic about your health at best.

It’s interesting how many people will refuse to cosleep because even the smallest risk of something happening to their baby is too much, but won’t think twice about the risks of vaccinating. Makes you think about how we’re taught to perceive risk in the first place.

the idea of having 4-5 kids is very intimidating, but the families I know with 4-5 adult children now seem to be having more fun than anyone else I know

This should stop every parent in their tracks... In 1994 Japan ended all mandatory vaccines for babies under two years old. The outcome? Japan now has one of the lowest infant mortality rates on the planet. America? Highest infant mortality of all industrialized nations.

i think a lot of women would be so much more affectionate, playful, and sexually open if they weren’t constantly emotionally exhausted by the very partners who expect those things from them.

Girlies, if you ever feel stupid for believing a man’s charm, remember this: henry viii pursued anne boleyn for years, broke with rome to marry her, made her queen, and still ended up having her executed so please, forgive yourself for believing the man who promised you forever and swore you were different. sometimes, even the grandest gestures don’t tell you who someone really is.

One of the most common concerns I hear about in third trimester is low iron. Most providers will tell you to take a run of the mill iron supplement without telling you that it’s not actually going to do anything for you besides hurt your stomach and wreck your bowel movements. What they should be telling you is that in your third trimester hepcidin drops to release more iron and change how you’re absorbing it so that more is sent to the baby. With this, your blood volume is also expanding so the value becomes diluted. If you’ve been nourishing yourself adequately, these biological changes are doing exactly what they’re meant to do. If you’ve gone into pregnancy in a deficit and aren’t nourishing yourself, a whole food approach with attention to other cofactors will do more for you than a synthetic junk iron supplement will anyways. Think organ meats, eggs, healthy fats, blackstrap molasses. Not everything that changes in pregnancy is a problem to fix, it’s information worth understanding.

Narcissistic men are the worst husbands, but the best homeboys. Horrible fathers, but obedient sons to their mothers. Emotionally unavailable at home, but fully present for their male friends. Careless with their wives, but obsessed with what outsiders think. Avoid responsibility at home, but are the first to help when someone's watching. They make their family feel alone, but make the world believe they're dependable men.
