No.
This is a 9 week old baby.
That is an embryo. It isn’t smiling, it doesn’t even have lips. A born baby can’t smile on purpose until weeks later. We have over 100,000 children in the foster system that need families but you go ahead and fight for this embryo instead.

I got written up last year for taking time off when my husband was having cancer surgery and during the recovery. I work at a school as a teacher. This is prevalent everywhere. It sucks. I’m sorry!

A great kiddo. He’s different, we all knew that, but my son gets really angry if anyone says anything about his disabilities. He likes his friend the way he is.
The more I see kids like yours, the more I believe the future is looking bright. The kids are all right. (Fin)

My mom was on the phone so much during my labor that the nurse snatched it from her hand, told her to pay attention, and tossed it across the room only to eventually grab it and lock it in a closet. I loved that nurse. 😝

My son is at a new school this year & made a small group of friends pretty well. In Oct he asked if a friend could come w/ us to Steamboat & we said sure! He brought his new friend & it was a great 3 days. When we got home to drop him off, his mom and dad started crying (1)

Goddamn I miss him. I miss them. The whole amazing family. I miss the way they treat each other and those around them, and how that affected how those around them treated everyone else. I just miss them all, so much.

It was midnight when we were told. I was in surgery by 6 am. I had Burkitts Lymphoma- the fastest growing human tumor. It doubles in size every size every 6-8 hours. If it had taken 1 more day I’d have been past where it was treatable and dead by the end of the week. (4)

You see- his friend is autistic ocd no polar. Last year he missed a whole year because he was suicidal and spent the year in a rehab type program bec of it. His mom said he has never had a friend, let alone one that he could go places with. It broke my heart bec he’s such (2)

I could not longer go to the bathroom and I was screaming in pain. We spent the day in the hospital where they said I was pregnant and only did an ultrasound to prove I was pregnant and lying. Instead they discovered I had cancer. The tumor had crimped off my bladder (3)

We expect kids, from age 5-18, to sit in a chair, quietly, and give their entire attention to a speaker / teacher, for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 8 months of the year. Something most adults can’t, and wouldn’t, do. It’s insanity.

At 14 I started having intense abdominal pain the week of mother day 1994. Monday was just sore… as the week progressed it got worse and worse. My Dr told me I had a urinary tract infection. Took meds. Got worse. Went back this time they said it was a bladder infection. (1)
@fancytomboy
By Friday I’d been diagnosed with a ITI, bladder infection, and an STD even though I’d never has sex or even kissed anyone. The Dr didn’t believe me. I was also having night fevers & vomiting. Saturday I played an entire soccer competition in pain. When I woke up Sunday (2)

Thank you for this. My son is only a 6th grader but I completely understand this. I had to email the teachers to tell them life is not ok in our house & he’s crying a lot, sleeping in my room bec he is scared, unable to focus - most of his teachers wrote back (1)

My husband & son now go to the family events w/out me. Never once has he made me feel bad for it. They, OTOH, stopped inviting him bec they dislike that I don’t come & feel I’m a bad wife bec of it. He let them go; said my life was more important. He’s amazing. Dude-Leave her.(2)

@SteamLaundry
But I spent most of it isolated and in pain. All because of a group of parents at my sisters school had a “chicken pox party” for their children and then exposed the class, which included my sister, and then exposed me. It would have killed me if it had the chance.

@Karnythia
This same thing happened to me when I was 14 only it was cancer. The tumor was the size of a basketball. It was Burkitts Lymphoma, the fastest growing human tumor. Drs don’t listen to girls and women in pain - esp. abdominal pain.

That they understood and he should do what he can when he can, but no late or missing grades would go into the grade book. Then there is his math teacher who responded that doing the work would help him function better so, no excuses(he has a 67% now in math) (2)

“Car repossessions” I’m sorry, what? In my 23 years of marriage never has “car repossessions” been discussed. Especially high enough on our “ok’ed discussions”list that we have to mention it as a discussion.

Mine walked out of class when (as 5th graders) his teacher decided to show “The Passion” (which is bloody as is and not appropriate for 11 year olds). He was pissed that there were no people of color & told the teacher that the Mesopotamian river valley would at LEAST be olive 😂

@ADHDelaide
Chronic pain patients are actively shamed, scared, and discouraged from taking meds that make our lives livable. We’re also seen as criminals and seekers if we need help. The govt is literally making it near impossible to get adequate pain treatment.
@SteamLaundry
I couldn’t agree with this more. When I was 14 we did my make-a-wish to Hawaii. My little sister got the chicken pox while we were there and so I spent my make-a-wish in a small Hawaiian hospital quarantine room getting painful injections to protect me. When I was released(1)
@ask_aubry
My dad did similar. I had severe PPD and spent weeks on the mental health floor. When I was released,he bought a 1970 Barracuda -E body. He had me out there, teaching me everything-to weld. Working on that car w/ him every single day. He didn’t know how to help me so he did this.

I am super allergic to cats and my husband’s family loves them. The one and only time I’ve been to their house in the 18yrs we’ve been married, I took a massive Benadryl dose ahead of time. I still ended up in the hospital for 3 days recovering from the reaction. (1)

I thought you people loved the stand your ground laws wherein if you feel threatened in your home you can shoot? But not if it’s a black man... I get it. Racism is big amongst your crowd. The police didn’t announce who they were, all they knew was someone was breaking in. (1)
@SteamLaundry
my sister and I had to wear masks the entire rest of the trip. Everyone that came in contact with me also he to wear a mask since we didn’t know what they had been exposed too and my immune system couldn’t take any more accidental exposures. This was supposed to be my “wish”(2)
Just so we’re clear- this is a Duggar admitting to a medical procedure she & her family have worked to make illegal in many states & out of reach for many women. This was an abortion. A D/C is an abortion.
