This is a big problem. Increasingly, Doctors are less and less apt to question each others decisions and the patients end up paying the price.

Yeah, we’ve blocked them from our kids “Youtube Kids” accounts, but they still sneak back in from time to time.

Did someone just successfully repackage the “blind bag” craze that hit my household via our 5 year old watching Youtube videos?

I find all this back and forth to be fucking hilarious...

Friendly reminder, many local libraries have free, or deeply discounted tickets to local museums.  

Yes! We found this book helpful as well. Although, we found that when you “mixed” the observations of multiple sources (i.e. growth spurts, sleep regressions, wonder weeks, etc.) that basically the portion of the Venn diagram where “time the baby should be in a good mood” was tragically small.

If someone says “Sleep when the baby sleeps”, you are completely within reason to punch them right in the face. It might be the most useless advice I’ve ever gotten as a parent. 

I’d LOVE to see the rates for the “FedEx SameDay” Service on Christmas, particularly if it was going to move between two cities. It would probably end up cheaper to just buy a plane ticket and fly it there yourself.

It’s hard to choose, but I feel like my top 5 would all be parenting/new baby advice. People often think that it’s universal “babies are babies”, and they just aren’t.
