[quote=Anonymous]Kids born in 2017 and 2020. The only thing I relate to on this thread is the rise in instagram parent influencers that have a very singular vision of the one right way to parent your kid. I follow Dr. Becky and actually have learned a lot of great techniques from her, and her posts have made me more empathetic to my kids (especially re-examining toddler tantrums). But the not-imposing-consequences thing (or only using "natural consequences") is truly not realistic after age 5 or so. My 7 year old would basically never brush his teeth if I did that - and I am certainly not paying the dental bills for those "natural consequences!"

Re: the trans stuff (cis woman here) - I have never heard someone use the term "chestfeeding" in real life, ever. But it baffles me - even biological men also have breasts! Male breast cancer is a thing! But "pregnant people" doesn't bother me at all, despite the fact that I also rarely hear anyone use that term. I am in fact a person; I don't need someone to mention my gender to feel validated.[/quote]
