A bit of Sunday frivolity

Toddlers with food issues? Cut off her food for a few day and she wil learn to eat what's offered. Of course, her mother sounds insufferable and exactly why is she still nursing a toddler?

She lost me at toddler and still nurses.

Oh shit, mom is a vegan forcing her diet on the kid. Fucking idiots.

Shocking that a kid eating a diet of paste would be constipated.

the only reason the kid has eating issues is because of the mother. christ, there really ought to be a law as to who gets to reproduce.

Give the kid away. Do you really want to deal with this nonsense for the next 18 years?

T. Berry Brazelton, noted pediatrician, agrees with R1 and it won't take a few days. Little kids don't willingly starve themselves. They will eat what's given to them if they are hungry. Let them become hungry and - voila! - the food pickiness disappears like magic.

This kid is going to be a sitting duck for commercial frankenfood when she gets away from Mom.

revolting breeders and their spawn

Cure for constipation : kimchi washed down with copious amounts of grape juice.

Don't forget a tiny bit of organic prune nectar juice - but I'd keep a nappy handy nearby for the fireworks!

Who the fuck only feeds a child avocados? The child's cholesterol must be through the roof.

Just give her a couple of high volume enemas. That’s what they did in the first half of the 20th Century and it always worked. There may be screaming and yowling involved, and you may need help holding her down, but it really will work and she’ll forget about it by tomorrow,

For infant constipation it's recommended to swab a bit of liquid soap on the anus. I don't know about a toddler but it still should work - do it when changing the nappies. A bit of mild dish soap or hand soap will do.

The diet as related by OP - especially how limited it is, and with copious amounts of soy - is a clear case of the caretaker not knowing what the fuck they're doing when feeding a child. The late nursing, fine; the actual food given coupled with no or little water is borderline neglect. It also speaks to the fact that the child seems to be in charge. That's crazy and terrible for the child. Seek professional advice. The child is suffering.

The diet and round-the-clock nursing was responsible for a mouthful of teeth being extracted if this is the same toddler from the thread linked below....and the mother's distinctive manner of writing suggests that it is. It came from a vegan message board that was linked somewhere in the DL thread.

Call her pediatrician, unless you have a good witchie woman to cast non-constipatuion spells over the child's head.

Miralax is what will work to break the cycle of constipation. Unfortunately it starts a new cycle of having to use miralax daily in order to have a movement

Just out of curiosity OP, where did you see that? It might be entertaining to go and read replies from batshit mommies and their "snowflakes".

I'm not OP but here you go, R18. The entire "Playground" section is a seething cauldron of vegan mommy-blogger types and their bizarre rationalizations.

Kid is in the 20th percentile for weight and 95th for height? Can't find underwear small enough to stay up? Nope, couldn't possibly be a problem with the diet of soy milk, soy pudding, and lollipops. Suzie Snowflake must have oral aversion issues. Yes, that's it! Oral aversion.

Another Sunday, another fragile warrior (one who hates paragraphs, apparently) spouting off:

[quote]Feminist theory on the whole has rejected gender as the single most important form of oppression though. bell hooks usually says "white supremacist capitalist patriarchy" and "kyriarchy" has become common place. Because all oppressions are interlocked and really, gendered whether you want them to be or not. Men experience racism, for example, in gendered ways just as women do. Feminism to me is about liberation from the kyriarchy rather than women making small gains every thirty years. And I'm uncomfortable saying feminism skews towards bigotry because instead of lifting up the voices of black feminists, trans feminists, nonbinary feminists etc., it implies that our contributions don't matter and allows their voices to be washed out. As a genderqueer person, I do worry about being kicked out of women only spaces even though I was assigned female at birth and experience sexism as a woman. As a poor person, I really don't give two shiitakes about female CEOs or how many millions an actress is making. But I do feel like my survival in the world is dependent on the success of feminism. I can't afford to throw the baby out with the bathwater, I need the feminist community and the support of feminists, and I need feminist theory to work my way through my own prejudices.

[quote]Other movements that do not hold feminism as a principal are unsafe for me. The feminist label to me is a signal at least of potential safety. Sure, I don't feel safe around TERFs, but they usually announce themselves before I can get invested. The social justice movements back home though, aside from feminism, have always been rife with sexism and sexual harassment. I found out this summer that a man I considered a friend and ally, with whom I have done some anti-classism activism, is a serial rapist. He used his position in social justice circles to entice young girls and convince them to come over to his house, where he would assault them. It has apparently been going on for years and a lot of people knew about it, but nothing was done. The guys back home who focus on class issues don't really care about sexism and sometimes are even hostile against feminism, and I can't trust them to hold anyone accountable for such behavior.

[quote]When people refuse to identify as feminists, I don't really get my hackles up, but I do note them as probably unsafe to come out to or rely on.

This is a strange EST. The constipated brickhouse troll?
