It can fucking happen to anyone. Stop fucking shaming humans for using devices or tricks to help them make sure they don't fucking hurt their kids. "I would never do that" good for you Erica, but you also don't plan on having kids, have had great luck with birth control, and are not a fucking saint for saying you'd never do something in a situation you've never been in.

You’d think a mother would be absolutely horrified at someone who lets their baby fry to death in a hot car, but I guess that’s only an emotion we evil CFers can feel.

My husband and I went to my FAVORITE coffee spot. It's a drive-thru, small business spot, but has the best coffee in town. I've been going to this coffee spot for three years. I told my husband they were hiring, but never had an opportunity to ask the owner for an application. My husband asked her when we pulled up to the window. "Are you hiring" to which she replied, "Yes." and he points at me. She immediately says, "I can't hire her because she has four kids, that's too many. Who will watch them?"
I said, "My husband will watch them, he has a very flexible work schedule." He works from home! She replied, "I'm sorry, but no. I can't have you calling out all the time because of your kids. I have an employee who has five kids and she is calling out all the time."
She gave me my coffee, apologized again, and that is the last time I will ever go to my favorite coffee shop again. For reference, she knows I have four kids because I would go there before I dropped them off at school, as the shop was down the street. The more I think about this, the more I get irritated. I wasn't given a chance because I have children. My work ethic is based off my children, and she discriminated against me because I have children. I'm ready to break, y'all. I'm a writer and I want to be petty and write our local paper about what happened. And then I think, I can't because that isn't me. So, instead, she gets none of my money, no more local support, and a big middle finger following her around for the rest of her life.

Who else has a child that was a late talker? My daughter fits none of the usual criteria for being a late talker, she wasn’t pre term or low birth weight, shows 0 signs of autism, has hit all of her other milestones early, she’s vibrant, healthy and understands almost everything we say and oh my does she love books! She just WONT TALK!!!!!! My middle child at this age was speaking in 9-10 word sentences! I don’t understand! Anyone else have a late talker and they went on to be fine, with no language issues? I’m starting to really worry... the doctor won’t do early intervention until two. Thanks!

Yeah so this has been a rough year and we all just gotta make it through. Including my kid, who, among other things, got straight As freshman year and started a new club at their school. And I’m just going to get out ahead of this and say we are on waiting lists for therapy. Several.
Anyhow a few weeks ago our kid came to us and said that they had been doing research on autism and “stimming” and tic disorder and they think they have it.
My kid does not have autism. I am a high school teacher - the kid absolutely doesn’t have autism and even if they DID, we’d be talking about removing “supports” at this point. We’d definitely at school be removing supports for a kid that got straight As in honors classes.
So, we took the kid to the pediatrician and she pretty much agrees with us that the kid is faking this for attention. As for what’s going on at the house? Big sis is graduating and is getting a LOT of very deserved positive attention. Big sis has had some behavioral issues, so the break from routine is that the 15 year old is used to big sis getting boundaries and punishment. Now big sis is 18 and behaving herself quite well, so she’s getting to borrow the car! Presents are showing up at the house! Prom! Yay!
In the mean time, WTF do I do? We’re ignoring the probably faked “stimming” behaviors on the advice of the pediatrician. BUT the kid is doing this in public. Which is, on some level, super offensive. I think my kid is maybe a bit too old to pretend to be disabled for attention. How long do I let this go on? Y’all got anything for me?

This was a couple of weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about it.
There was extra chicken breasts we didn’t cook sitting in the fridge for way to long, on my way out to run errands I ask him to dispose of them since I didn’t eat meat and did not want to deal with that (lol)
I return home, and go to use the toilet. By my surprise there is a raw chicken breast in the toilet bowl. I confront him and say wth you can’t flush that down the toilet. We live on the 10th floor in an older apartment building. I said there’s no way that will go down. Plus that’s super bad for the sewage.
He says, yes it will I’ve already flushed two down just forgot about that one.
LMFAO WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
I literally just shook my head, I’m exhausted we have a 10 month old baby and just couldn’t-deal.
Slightly funny slightly super stupid.

While the site was down, I found a column about a child rearing philosophy that originated in the 20s or so, from someone's observation that babies and children whose parents weren't up their kids' asses 24 hours a day developed earlier and more independently. They also didn't throw constant tantrums because they hadn't been conditioned to receive instant gratification from doing so.

My latest hobby has been daydreaming about how I think I’d be spending my time if I were kid-free

I'm a FTM and my daughter, 4, was recently diagnosed with Autism. We don't really have supports in place yet and am trying to research as much as I can in the meantime.
She has recently been violent. Last night was the worst. Despite following our Action Plan, I was kicked and hit in the face so many times. I was so upset I ended up cowering in the hallway with a knocked out tooth and blood pouring out of my mouth and in tears. My daughter came out and laughed at me and slapped me again.
She just had no empathy or compassion for the fact I was hurt she just did not care. Every time she hit or kicked me she just laughed.
I know this sounds selfish but I spent the night crying, imagining our future. I'm grieving the daughter I planned for... it was sposed to be me & you against the world, baby girl, not you against me.
Please someone tell me it gets better?
I feel like the worst mother in the world for so many reasons, I'll elaborate in another post.
This is my first post so please be kind! Thanks!
