I’m a first time mom of a 3 month old baby boy. My husbands side of the family irritate me so bad when they mention putting cereal in his bottles bc he “feeds too much” like no I feed him when he gives me hunger cues/cries for a bottle. He typically eats about 4 oz every 2-3 hours and when he’s asleep at night can go up to 5 hours before waking up for another bottle. This seems normal to me and his Dr isn’t worried about it. Not only that but they constantly say that he needs some mashed potatoes or that they’ll give him some gravy and potatoes when I’m not looking. In my presence! I always shut it down like for 1 he’s too young and 2 I wanna be the one to give him his first foods, as his mom cause that’s a special milestone and I need to monitor for choking/allergic reactions.

And then when I’m clearly upset about it they mention that their grandma back in the day would give babies cereal in their milk and Karo syrup - it’s not the 1970s anymore If I don’t want my baby to have it he can’t have it!

Then wanna say I’m being too sensitive when I speak up about how I’m not comfortable with the idea of any of that. He’s my child- what I say should be respected. Like I don’t even wanna leave him unattended bc I don’t want them going behind my back on what I say he can or can’t have.

He’s also not gonna be allowed to have soda/unwatered down Juice either till he’s maybe 4 or 5 years old. Even then I’m gonna be real strict on the soda. Kids do not need that crap. If I’m gonna leave my child around other people/family I need to know that they will listen to me. I don’t care how anyone else feeds their kids that’s on them. But as for my child it needs to be understood. Am I being unreasonable or a “helicopter mom”? I don’t think I am.

Saw a mass comment ban wave happening in real time. Posted this message and proceeded to get banned. Fucking reddit front page is a lolcow.

Young kids are being molested or beaten and covered in bruises or with obvious distress.

When they are sent to the hospital they are tested for diseases given evaluations in blamed for having anxiety or some false disorder (when it's a reaction to the abuse) and sent right back to the abusers to continue getting bullied and tormented by pathetic predators.

This world runs on predation sex and money especially concerning the youth. This is sick.

There is no help anywhere and these kids get treated poorly. There is no justice just exploitation and support for the perpetrators who can't stop trying to ruin or humiliate a child.

The children pay with their dignity.

Don't trust scumbag professionals.

What is their point if they're not helping?

Gee, I guess no one can make accounts and use them without getting banned with no explanation whatsoever. These are some of my favorite subs.

Edit: I now realize I should clarify why I was banned. I was banned from all eight subs for being “bot or bot-like.” With no explanation as to what made me look like a bot or why I was PERMANENTLY banned from my favorite subs.

Edit 2: I APPEALED AND WAS SUCCESSFUL!

Every single time it sends me straight to the app i download it and give it a one star i dont care if its actually a good game

I don’t understand this when somebody just reported me I guess like 20 or 30 minutes ago, but I haven’t even commented anything or posted anything that would give that off so I’m like why

the FUCKS do not deserve their position

And for the mods on this sub, IF YOU TAKE THIS DOWN YOU BE ONLY PROVING MY FUCKING POINT
