Any nutrition stuff i could do while pregnant was big,my bad was i still smoked at the time but did eventually quite. But i never once drank!!

2018-08-06 01:13:27 UTC  

I remember being nervous & worried about the food,etc i took in while pregnant and whatbi fed her after. I only wish someone had taught me how important breast feeding was,i had nobody to rely on,both mothers were alraedy passed away.

2018-08-06 01:16:41 UTC  

Yes my mother smoked with me & i think drank too,but i never got the chance to ask her for any parenting advice because she passed 6 months after we were married.

2018-08-06 01:17:19 UTC  

And my mother n law passed 3 months prior to daughter being born and she was old school,didnt talk about stuff to me..

2018-08-06 01:18:42 UTC  

That's sadly true,i feel guilty bad because asthma runs in the family on both sides,my brother had it,husband,stepson & daughter have it..

@missliterallywho I remember seeing some news cast from the 70s or 80s with a tobacco exec talkin about smoking causing low birthweight and saying “what mother wouldn’t want a smaller baby?!”

2018-08-06 01:19:29 UTC  

That sounds familiar!

2018-08-06 01:20:33 UTC  

My wife and I both think our baby girl is gonna be a big one

2018-08-06 01:21:11 UTC  

Natural is the plan

2018-08-06 01:21:13 UTC  

Thats rare,my daughter was 6lbs even & I did,both my stepkids were huge though,1 was 10.2,the other 9.7.

2018-08-06 01:21:32 UTC  

Dang

2018-08-06 01:21:48 UTC  

Try to keep it natural if you can I tried.

2018-08-06 01:22:35 UTC  

I saw a woman do a water birth and said it felt great, blew my mind!

2018-08-06 01:23:01 UTC  

Daughter was natural,both stepkids had to be cessarian after hours of trying natural. Same with my stepdaughter too,she had to go cessarian.

2018-08-06 01:23:42 UTC  

Unfortunately i had to have the meds,i had excruciating back labor

2018-08-06 01:24:30 UTC  

That was also prior leading up to years later having spinal surgeries too,so made it worse.

2018-08-06 01:24:47 UTC  

Honestly i don't remember @missliterallywho

2018-08-06 01:25:33 UTC

2018-08-06 01:34:05 UTC

2018-08-08 22:27:05 UTC  

Just saw this on twitter!

2018-08-09 05:53:55 UTC  

Anyone read any of the Tuttle Twins books... I have a few and want a parents perspective on them.

2018-08-09 05:57:06 UTC  

I like them for explaining in simple terms complex economic topics...but have any of you had experience with educational material like this?

2018-08-09 12:07:33 UTC  

I haven’t heard of those but definetly looks interesting. The most recent book we have read as a family with my two oldest kids is a book by a retired navy seal named jock I willink. The title of the book is way of the warrior kid. It is an excellent book.

Marc had a terrible year in fifth grade: he can’t swim or do pull-ups, doesn’t know his multiplication tables, and is being terrorized by school bully Kenny. But Marc’s uncle Jake, a Navy SEAL, will be spending the summer with Marc and his mother, and once he arrives, he begins training Marc to be a “Warrior Kid.” The training is both physical and mental, and chapters are dedicated to principles such as living by a code, early morning workouts, and discipline (“Discipline equals freedom” screams one page in giant capital letters). Marc embraces his uncle’s guidance, gets stronger, and starts sixth grade confident and able, even standing up to and reaching out to Kenny in a too-neat conclusion. Willink, a leadership instructor and retired SEAL, places worthwhile emphasis on physical activity, mental sharpness, and hard work. But Marc’s dismissal of his mother’s ability to help him because, “a lot of the time it seems she just doesn’t understand me” (in part because “she works a ton”) is a disappointing stereotype, and Bozak’s b&w line drawings don’t add much to the boy’s journey. More treatise than fully developed story. Ages 8–12. (May)

This might be a really dumb idea, but I was thinking the other day about the state of children's media. It's all very promoting of negative traits and multicultural society.

Would making kids books be a nice idea? We could use old stories of European heroics like Siegfried and the dragon. Some simple art and I bet it would be desirable.
