I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I figured it applied since so many of the fundies we discuss are no-vax.

http://www.capradio.org/articles/2011/0 ... -vaccinate This was on a local station yesterday morning, and it is downright scary that herd immunity is being lost. (looking at the stats for my county, I'm pretty sure it is both the hippie types, some "trendy" parents as well as the fundy parents. I live in a rather diverse area...)

Thought on no-vax? (personally I think it's scarier than hell to play with lives like that.)

I am a R.N., peds. My DH is a M.D. Our younger son and his wife don't vaccinate. We each said our piece, then shut up because we are the grandparents, not the parents. But it scares me, esp since they often travel to Colombia. The county they live in currently has measles.

The only thing I would do today if my kids were young is get the immunizations on a different schedule. I do think too many vaccinations are given at once. I'd go much slower but by school age they'd be up to date. I would not give the varicella vaccine. Every case of chickenpox I've seen in the last several years has been in an immunized student.

About 10 years ago I caught pertussis from an unimmunized student. I was very ill. The student's 6 month old nephew died.

I'm old enough to remember polio, which took several of my classmates. My Dad lost 4 siblings to diptheria. I'd hate to see these diseases come back, and they will if too many people opt not to vaccinate.

Don't forget breastfeeding, peanut butter and whether or not you should remove your shoes when you enter someone's home!

Homeschool vs public school

SAHM vs WOTH mom - the "mother" of all mommy war battles

AP vs Traditional vs hybrid (this would include co-sleeping vs crib, sling or stroller, Dr. Sears vs Dr. Spock)

What else can we beat each other up for? I'm sure we're still missing some! :D

I got one!

Wholefoods organics vs. processed Wal-mart for the precious children's food.

Ugh, someone on a certain Facebook group told me once that I might as well be eating processed crap from Walmart because the organics I buy from Costco (spinach, carrots, quinoa, milk, peanut butter, chicken, eggs) aren't "real" organic. Uh, sorry it's not locally grass-fed from the farm, but it's still organic!

I've seen fights over families who use welfare even if it's a temporary thing when they've fallen on hard times.

Hey maybe this is gods way of removing fundies from the world? there that should stir things up.

I'm not sure Darwin had that in mind when he came up with his theories.

HEY! Another thing! Evolution versus intelligent design!

Weaning

Potty Training

Spanking!

Cloth or disposables or diaper service

Diaper covers (which seem to deserve their own separate category, as do slings. There are whole websites with huge communities devoted the discussion of such things).

Baby laundry detergent

Baby products of all sorts

How often to bathe baby

Should extracurriculars be agenda-driven by parents or child-led

Force them to go to church or not

Provide support through college or not

Reproductive education: provide comprehensive sex education, even provide condoms, or teach abstinence or a hybrid

There have got to be more.

Sorry to Wolfie for the thread hijack!

ETA: spanking - how could I forget that one?

Goodness knows I don't want to start any enormous fights, but I've seen the wearing shoes in the house thing mentioned a couple of times, and no matter which way I turn my head and squint, I fail to see how this could cause any sort of passionate debate. Perhaps someone could give me a very quick summary of what exactly this argument is about?

Yes, thank you, O Latin! Who could forget the shoes in the house debate?

Although I do forget what the premise of it was - sorry :)

      Stupid loneliness!
      Kid 1 went back to college (yeah! But sad foe me, she stayed with me all summer. It was nice to start a new phase in our mother/daughter relationship)
      Zero prospects on dates. (Not that I have tried online dating, scared of that but I have reached put to a new group at church, etc.
      I asked a friend to go to dinner the other night so I wasn't eating alone, again. The friend had plans, all my friends always have plans. I see stuff on social media, I'm never invited. I'm single, I'm the 3rd or 5th wheel.
      My one parent friend at kid 2's fall sport won't be there because their daughter made varsity (Yeah for her!!! Seriously happy for her. Sad for me for another sport I basically sit alone, did that majority of spring and summer sporting events.)
      And now I'm crying as my mom told me 2 different funny stores that former teachers remembered about my twin. Both stories were about how they got a crack out of my twin's antics (my parents went to a funeral today and saw former colleagues). Teachers remember me (after all I was a twin and teachers' kid) but none would have memorable stories of me. 
      I feel invisible. 
      Don't worry, this will pass,  it always does. I just need a pity party for a few days. I'm not in anyway going to harm myself. As lonely as I am, I have a very full life I (usually) love. I just needed to vent and cry for a moment. 
      If you are still reading this, thanks Fjer. 😊

      Absolutely awful about the fires on Maui. In 2019, I stayed in Lahaina. I liked to sit on the sea wall, which is the only structure left now, and watch the water. People are receiving help, but many had to leave pets. Please donate to the Maui Humane Society, which is leading efforts to find, treat, and reunite pets.

      Nebraska’s new football coach, who is involved in an organization called Man Up Ministries, labels certain players “Alphas” and sometimes “extreme Alphas” and the local paper has a nice piece on why people objecting to the term “alpha male” are wrong and it has a “nice ring”. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
