The internet can be a nice—or a bad—place. Sometimes, even both at the same time. It all depends on where you look.

Take parenting, for example. Dive into articles, forums, and social media, and you'll find a mix of heartfelt advice, heated debates, and downright bizarre drama. Whether it's a debate on the cost of childcare, or a sad multi-level marketing pitch, these spaces can be equal parts supportive and absurd.

That's where '[Stuff] Mom Groups Say' comes in. Created in 2018, this subreddit has grown to 421K members and continues to judge the "no-judgment" culture.

    Can we just designate Utah as a vaccine free location, and everybody who wants to go unvaxxed can move there.

    Two-thirds (66%) of parents say raising kids is harder today than it was two decades ago and just 7% report it is easier, while 26% think it is about the same.

    At the same time, more than half of parents believe they spend too much time on their phones (56%), with smaller shares saying this about the amount of time they spend on social media (36%) or playing video games (11%).

    Mothers (61%) are more likely than fathers (49%) to say that they spend too much time on their phones, as are White parents (60%) compared to their Black (52%) and Hispanic (46%) "colleagues."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Parents' assessments of their social media use follow similar patterns, with parents who are female, White, younger, and who are more educated claiming they spend too much time on these sites.

    CPS and the SPCA. Although cosmetic ear and tail docking is still legal in many, many places, you're not allowed to DIY it at home. It has to be done as an actual surgery by an actual vet, or it's legally animal cruelty.

    You could have just asked how to convince her to don't have him circumsised (period). Unless it is to solve a medical issue, there is no justification for amputating part of other people's bodies, especially without their consent.... and the same goes for those dogs, by the way.

    Since a lot of people somehow don't know it's just the foreskin and not the entire tip that is removed I'm very worried. Plus I l know how "normal" it seems to be in the US, but it is still an uneccesary genital mutilation.

Let me count the ways: 1) accidentally turning boy to girl/non-boy; 2) Daddy Dearest makes a wrong cut and baby bleeds to death; 3) baby aquires raging infection which can easily travel to brain; & 4) not as tragic, but, Dad mucks up circumcision and boy left with a penis that looks so awful that he can only pee in private - to avoid ridicule!! I won't even comment on everything that could kill Mom and baby during, and after, delivery.

    Not fair, Sometimes it works.Although one of my sons has the smallest slug Ive ever seen just because I coughed at the wrong time. The other one? Well, he's a priest so doesnt need one. I used a sturdy pair of toenail clippers. If the parents wish to totally neuter the boy child for some reason I in some of the middle Eastern coutfies, the mother holds the baby boy in the air and the husband has a housebrick in each hand whixh he swiftly smashes together on the baby's danglies. When commenting that " That must hurt", the father said "Only if you don;t get your thumbs out of the way at the right time".

    The phenomenon of parents posting about their children on social media, sometimes referred to as "sharenting," has been the subject of many editorials and opinion pieces in recent years. As many as 82% of parents who use social media say they have posted photos, videos and/or other information about their children on these sites.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Of those, again, women are more likely than men to say they have done this (89% vs. 71%), as are younger parents – between the ages of 18 and 49 – than their older — 50 and up — counterparts.

    A big reason why 'Stuff Mom Groups Say' doesn't run out of content is ease of use. 76% of parents who post about their kids on social media say that the ability to effortlessly share things about their children with friends and family is a major factor in their activity, while smaller but meaningful portions say it comes from a desire to showcase their children's accomplishments (36%), and peer pressure — sharing because other parents they know share these things (11%).

    Mutual animosity can also be an element that leads parents to posting edgier content in these groups. Michelle Brown, the host of The Pondering Stepmom Podcast, said, "Some mothers are quick to judge the parenting of a fellow mom by pointing out failed parenting methods or perceived behavioral flaws in other people's children."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "This is an ever-evolving problem. With the influx of mom reels and videos on social media, the mom comparison game has significantly impacted mothers everywhere," she explained.

    "For some reason, many of us moms (myself included) can easily get caught up in toxic mom bonding, which happens when bonds are created through gossip, negativity, and drama," Brown added.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "When groups of moms get together and immediately start comparing notes on their kids — what they eat, how they behave, how they’re disciplined, how they’re doing in school, what activities they’re in, which moms work outside of the home, and which moms don’t, a phenomenon of mean girl behavior and unhealthy motherhood competition can begin to grow."

    To paraphrase Brown, finding the right parent tribe can take time,  and the people you see in these pictures don't necessarily belong to every group there is. Heck, I want to believe they're the minority—it's just that content like this receives more attention than the normal kind.

    This is a good question, in Wales (part of the UK), they have decided that if your child is not potty trained by the time they start school; unless there is a certified medical reason, you the parent must come in and change their nappies. It will no longer be the responsibility of the teachers. Children start school at four (4) years old; what's my fellow Pandas opinion on this?
