She basically died because she told the doctors she had taken miso. At this point she absolutely needed a D&C but because Georgia law said that's bAd, doctors risked losing their licenses to help her. And by the time they were going to, it was too late.

Ugh. So disgusting.

Mine would LOVE to turn into a mermaid!

Yes, FIL. I wanted to ask him how much he even helps, because sitting on his phone in my living room watching sports commentary videos every week isn't contributing positively to my kids' lives.

Locking this because nothing productive or positive is happening in the comments.

I sure hope.

It probably does help to quantify, though I suspect all the numbers in the world wouldn't change some minds.

Man, did they really need a study for this?? Seems pretty obvious but I guess not.

Let's see, what are points of stress? Costs of living, raising children, time...

Yikes, nobody needs that kind of scramble at the last minute.

Done!

Water in her ear.

Worth noting that this did not work when they were infants, especially not for my oldest.

Somehow, simply touching my kids helps calm them down enough to sleep. Now my four year old reaches for my hand at night. Am I trapped for a while? Yes. Do I mind? Not one bit.
