i have a friend who is a "mommy blogger"
her posts are really bad at masking her depression/mental health issues and possible alcoholism
(tbf that covers a lot of all internet posting, but still)

Any time anyone blogs about anything personal everything they say has to be looked at skeptically cuz they are blogging about it imo

We are a naked household because I enjoyed breastfeeding so muchhey kids remember when we used to take baths together as I wander casually down the hallway
Feel like if she's gonna raise nudist kids (which is ultimately fine with me as long as novody's being endangered) she should have worked through the angst rather before her older son turned 12.

I was furious.”

Because eating ice cream sometimes makes kids OBEEEEEEEESE!!! “Nobody wants to be a crank, but one in three kids are going to be obese or diabetic by high school.”
This one is my favorite: “I should not have to fight with my children every warm day on the playground just so someone can make a living!”
Your need to earn an income is interfering with my need to have no conflict in my life!!!

My parents managed to not allow me to have any sweets at all between the ages of 4 and maybe 7. For the record, this was on some bizarre advice from a dentist after I had tooth decay problems (I don't think any modern dentist would give this advice), but regardless, my parents managed to have this rule for me without serious conflict.

Interesting article about early onset of puberty for girls and also sorta about the extremes that some mom's are going to halt that.

She had a thick, enviable blond-streaked ponytail and big feet, like a puppy’s.
Going with the idea that puppies grow into their foot size?
seriously was expecting an April 1 date on that article

I feel really awkward for these kids but cases like this make me feel queasy because either it's a one-off for each of these kids and the cause will never be known, or some day we'll be able to point to a specific thing and they'll have the "oh, I was one of those bpa kids" thing in their story and we'll sigh collective shame as a society because we set it up for it to happen.

(Kinesiologists believe that weak muscles indicate illness, and that a patient’s muscles will test as weaker when he or she is holding a substance that contributes to health problems.)

"kinesiologists" are not only not doctors, they don't even need a masters' degree or a professional license, apparently

I think even the NYTimes reporting there is questionable and lends too much credence.
