Any theory on why girls are developing sooner but boys aren’t? My child’s 5th grade girls are all growing, in puberty. Boys are so young and like little boys. The 5th graders are like 8th graders from my time.

That’s because they died from anaphylaxis in childhood.

I worry about skin cancer and don’t mind sunscreen. I think with our longer lives, we’re more at risk for getting it in our 70s-80s.

And by then there’s not as much we can do. For me it’s prevention. 39 and I have a spot that i treat under a derm’s care. I’ve been great with spf since age 20, but the damage was already done.

Anyway, not to take away from anyone’s theories!! But that’s why I don’t mind the chemicals. I try to stick with good brands. I still get sun exposure without it often enough, too.

I don’t think ADHD is a disability and if our lives didn’t involve so much sitting and reading they would be top of the food chain. Actually I think due to hyper focus most programmers and engineers are ADHD.

Hahah I love this. Never thought of the first part this way. I just thght that perhaps it's more obvious in modern society due to internet, decline of physical labor jobs etc. Fascinating!

Is smearing chemicals on our face really healthier for us than natural sunlight? All the research seems to say yes, but I just can’t get on board with this and kind of thing sunscreen is a scam. I also think sunscreen is destroying our reefs.

Yes. 100% can get behind this theory.

A dear friend of mine is a germaphobe and keeps an immaculate household at all times, has her kids wash his hands after touching anything in public, and has him use hand sanitizer constantly….this kid gets sick SO frequently it’s crazy. I can’t help but think that the constant disinfecting has prevented him from developing a strong immune system.

Childhood obesity is 80% nurture and 20% nature.

Every guy I met in online dating had ADHD. Every single one! I think that these men maybe fun to date but they were bad partners in a marriage and thus got dumped by their wives

So, it doesn’t negate my statement.

The far left parents are just bonkers with making their boys wear dresses but the magat parents are just as looney. There's this one puerto rican magat ughh so gross.

Wait what? Why does a picture of Charlize Theron accompany a description of a “Puerto Rican magat”

And adding speed to the equation does not help.

I 100% agree.

Well, you are wrong.

Why are some of you in here arguing with people about what they believe when OP made it clear these are the things we all believe that aren’t necessarily based on real fact. Who cares if they think this? You’re missing the point of the whole thread.

It’s one thing to have a theory that can’t be proven one way or another other and isn’t harmful to believe, but I don’t blame people for rebutting provably false beliefs, especially when the belief is harmful. PP saying her dog is her reincarnated mom? Have at it; hope it brings you peace. PP saying adult ADHD is just an excuse? Sorry, but you’re wrong and it’s fine to say that.

As well as those who are allowed to be picky about car colors when they are teenagers and not paying for the car.
