Christians when you ask why universal human rights only existed after the secular Enlightenment stripped the Church of its power to burn heretics and bless slave ships
"I don't need religion to be good" atheists when you ask them to show one moral principle they didn't borrow from Christianity

becoming exceedingly obvious that many people have kids just so they can have a little clone of themselves to treat like a slave
Explaining to my very non-snuggly little daughter that I grew her & let her live inside my body for almost a year for the express purpose of being able to have a nice cuddle once in a while, so she doesn’t have a choice in the matter

Maybe this is impolite to point out but if your annual salary is equivalent to a year of daycare, you probably don't have a real career to "throw out"

my son ended up in the hospital, as low as the 0.02nd percentile and was swimming in his 0-3 month clothing at 3 months old. I pumped and fortified with formula for months and months to help him gain weight before finally switching to just formula. formula saved him.
Hot take: formula feeding is like abortion. 90% of the time (or more) it’s for convenience. Women will make 70384 excuses as to why they couldn’t breastfeed, but in truth, they didn’t want the extra responsibility. A small percentage had real reasons not to.

recreating the maternity system that the soviet union had from first principles
It will never happen, alas (too expensive) but this would essentially be my ideal family policy plan too. Cash - a lot of cash - at the beginning when parents need it, including flexibility to let mom or dad stay home if desired - and then less funding as the kids get bigger. I’m hopeful we can peel off and get done some parts of it, especially for poor/lower income parents (being mindful of marriage penalties, welfare cliffs, etc.) in the near future. You don’t need it all to make part of it work.

How can you introduce a new character called Jason TURKISH and have him be BALD AS HELL???? Get new writers!
#MichiganSenate Detroit News: Haley Stevens' fiancé Jason Turkish says he believes Abdul El-Sayed is anti-semitic which has convinced him to vote for Mike Rogers. Turkish intends to attend a Mike Rogers event on Wednesday, Oct. 28, in Birmingham. There, Rogers is set to take part in a forum sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition titled, "Who Will Keep Us Safe? Rogers vs. El-Sayed in the Wake of October 7th and the Temple Israel Attack."

It's important for parents to understand your child's developmentally appropriate reaction to a thing you chose to do doesn't necessarily mean you were wrong to do it or your child is suffering. The only way for kids to learn they are fine and safe without you is like this.
Not unhealthy but we went to Mexico for a few days and left our toddler with my in laws. We face timed and called daily. When we got back my kid was terrified of us leaving him at the gym daycare because he thought we were going to be separated again.

I’m open to nuance here, but there were actually an extremely wide range of baby care practices among our ancestors… some of which were fine and some of which are clearly not appropriate for modern life - like keeping children in cradleboards almost constantly during the early months, sometimes resulting in hip dysplasia and permanent flat heads. Or feeding babies “pap” (a mix of flour and water) almost immediately after birth, often because Mom could not initiate breastfeeding well or for other cultural reasons, frequently resulting in illness (like botulism) and malnutrition. Or exposing babies with birth defects as undesirable, resulting in death by starvation, cold, or wild animal. I am always suspicious of people who are very confident about replicating what our ancestors did, because almost certainly they are picking and choosing the practices they like best, and labeling it “traditional” when actually what they are doing is “neo trad” at best.
