Do other parents not teach their kids that only a few specific adults should be helping them with bathroom, bathing, and clothes?
This is problematic advice that twists grace to be about Trying Harder & becoming superhuman. Families w/a "gaggle of children" that insist on operating in boundaryless ways often shuffle the cost of their ideological choices on down to the children. 🧵
You have a gaggle of children, none taller than your belly button. You are quite literally drowning in dirty dishes and laundry. Not a grandmothers helping hand in sight or a day off for months on the calendar. Is it *now* suddenly ok to fuss because you don’t have what everyone…
Male child (4) needs help wiping his butt while at his home (guests are over). Adult female hears him calling and helps. Mother is in the other room and finds out after.
When you bring your kids around a sick fucker like this who has everybody fooled... a doctor, pastor, coach, counselor, whatever... at least the very first time they meet one of your kids, you will see a flash in their eye of overly intense interest in the child, like a wolf who…
The best thing moms can do is find their little passion project like this. It doesn't have to be for anyone else's consumption. Just do what you love when you can
I encourage creative maker moms to get into fiber arts. Needle felting and hand sewing can be done in 15-20 minute increments and are easy to pick up and put down. Some projects start to finish are half an hour. It scratches the itch!
Honestly men if you're having difficulty dating ask a female friend for this kind of feedback
fun fact: one of my friends asked me to redo his profile for him because he wasn't getting matches. I went through his phone and picked pictures of him I liked, & I changed his prompts to reflect parts of his personality I personally liked. Matched with his now-wife the next day
Is this a red flag for anyone else?
you're the asshole the affection between adult/children, strangers or not, becomes a problem when the affection is unwanted by the child you don't need to protect your children from expressing love
Let post-partum moms rest!
Imagine a Labor & Delivery ward that prioritizes a mother's ability to get some sleep after giving birth. Who's building this
Child arrives at camp and is given a T-shirt. Child 4 starts to take off the shirt she arrived in. Non-parent female helps child change into new shirt in a crowded room. Mother who was in the bathroom walks up as this is happening.
AITA: I am uncomfortable with how affectionate my children are with strangers. So I have implemented a fist bumps or high 5s only rule. I have an adult female friend who seems offended by this rule. Before she was asking for hugs very often. So her actions did factor into my…
The "it's not works based theology" cracked me up. It's true most of the things about motherhood don't make that big of a difference. Instead of sucking it up, take a break. Hire help. Create a new system. Invite a friend over to help.
Everybody acknowledges that a woman who writes a book on "How to be a Good Mother" and puts her child in daycare to travel far and wide to give talks about the subject is a hypocrite Apply that same principle to online Catholic personalities who talk about building strong…
I certainly hope this is true. Some people might be critical of Ozzy and his supposed confession of fain in Christ, but I refuse to jump on that bandwagon. I pray for the repose of souls as it's not my wish that to see anyone go to hell. Pray for the Repose of Ozzy's soul!
The Holy Spirit when I’m doing my Examination of Conscience:
I don’t understand how a Catholic can sit there and refuse to acknowledge that the holocaust happened and was bad when Sts Maximillian Kolbe and Theresa Benedicta of the Cross are alive in heaven and know what you’re up to
“More power to you” is the Northern version of “Bless your heart”
Disallowing children in public spaces is just straight up misogyny, women will be the only people affected by these policies

Oh no the big bad Boogeyman of feminism. Your teenage daughter doesn't actually need to love homemaking, childcare and hospitality to have a fulfilling life. There is more than one way to be a woman
Your daughters are being hunted. If you haven’t radicalized your daughter for Christ by 13—feminism will get her. If she doesn’t firmly understand her identity as a helper and nurturer—feminism will get her. If she doesn’t love children and long to be a mother—feminism will…
