Natalia Barnett and her new parents appeared on Dr. Phil. by babyredpandas in UnresolvedMysteries

I get it, difference is it’s his job to find this out before sitting down a victim of neglect and abandonment and acting like they are mentally incapable of it. It’s not your job as a viewer to know/collect information beforehand. In fact, you’re watching it to be provided information.

And trust me, if I let my kid have her way she would be grimy and matted lol. I would be surprised if an average child personally chose to clean themselves, but they could for sure do it.


[–]megneto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL I will admit, I haven’t watched more than a few minutes here or there of his show in so long I can’t say what it’s really like.

Just viral clips. Will admit I don’t know better XD


[–]megneto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a matter of needing to demonstrate that level of resourcefulness and independence. Children 8 and under just are.

Even with a disability like autism.

I’m not trying to assume your situation, but once you’ve been around enough children, you know that them surviving with a few loaves of bread for that time isn’t impossible.

We have survival instincts and no child is going to starve to death just because an adult isn’t there reminding them to eat or making meals for them. Fortunately she was clearly left with enough food items to be better off than eating loaves of bread but it doesn’t change that children can survive that. Had they left her with no food and no way to freely come and go, there would likely be a different outcome.

They also didn’t mention in these clips if she had any issues due to being left alone for a month and a half. But even an 8-10 year old has the capacity to bathe themselves. Most won’t out of preference lol but it’s really not as hard as he is acting.

Being in pain is such an ubiquitous part of the female experience, and TIMs will never understand. by all-bi-myself- in GenderCritical

And something that drives me extra insane about your predicament for “ovulating, pre-menopausal” women, you’d pretty much be on your death bed before they removed any parts of your reproductive system to help with the pain effecting your life this much.

you’re so young, you might change your mind, you might want a kid or more kids /s

Yet my Dad was able to get “the snip” no questions asked, no reason other than a desire to not have more children.

Whoooo #Womanhood!

Knowing that you experienced trauma but can’t remember what happened? by popgoestheweasel- in BPD

[–]megneto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP,

I deal with that too, and the memories I can vaguely remember are not the same quality and aesthetic as all my other memories.

It’s like they’ve got a black vignette border and the colours have an semi-translucent black filter overlay.

One memory is of my Mom telling me something she did but she just stopped telling that story quite awhile ago and now I’m not sure if she ever did say what she said...

Like gaslighting amnesia.


[–]megneto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was recently a viral video, don’t know in what country but it looked 3rd world. A boy that was likely about 4-5 cooked an entire meal for his brother that was maybe 2. Like, not just a one step meal at that! He was adding all kinds of ingredients and oil to a pan on an outdoor fire pit.

Let’s not forget he’s also ignoring young kids that have existed that ended up having to fend for themselves and their families because the parents died. Happens all the time in countries without services like western countries.

Sometimes you need to adapt to get more than 2 hours of broken sleep a night. I personally prefer the rear naked chokehold to what’s pictured, but to each their own.

So, what you’re saying is you haven’t spent time with her long enough to know they’re quite complex and capable at 8? And also the child you had that gave birth to them?

I thought it was insanely ridiculous too lol


[–]megneto 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly like he thinks survival instincts are something we gain once we reach adulthood? Sure, your ability to last longer on your own increases with age and knowledge but it’s like he thinks a kid wouldn’t eat slices of bread to survive? Doesn’t mean they’re not going to be worse off that way, of course no child should be left to raise themselves.

He honestly must not have spent a lot of time with children.

Some people push their children to gain independence like that at a young age, while supervised at first. I’ve met people that had 2-3 year olds that could make their own toast and spread jam or peanut butter.


[–]megneto 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oh, Dr. Phil, if you actually spent a great deal of time around ANY 8 year old, you would know it wouldn’t be crazy for them to survive a month and a half, given all the supplies they need.

My child is 8 and autistic, and guess what? She is fully capable of seeking out food or a drink on her own.

Like they’re aware enough to see the routine/process that goes into getting a drink or grabbing a snack or microwaving! And most microwaves these days are simple to use. If you don’t think a 6-8 year could learn “get food- open food- press button to open- close- press button- wait”, you are sadly mistaken.

Christ, I was probably between 9-10 when I was operating the stove, without supervision. You do a lot as a kid when raising yourself is placed on you.

I get literally the tiniest bit of ingrown (not even half this size), have for years and you’re right- it’s instant relief lol

[–]megneto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you have to keep editing to tell people kids that age can speak. If by one your child isn’t trying to speak and express themselves, you should keep a close eye on their development, it could be the start of a language delay and potentially other developmental issues.

Between 10-14 months they should be developing up to 3 words. This doesn’t take in to account the children that are more advanced when it comes to developing language.

It’s common for autistic children to regress in the 12-14th month period, so this is why I am saying to keep a close eye. Language delay doesn’t = autism, there are other things that cause it. And there’s no harm in getting speech therapy or working on it on your own, if they are a bit behind.

The worst thing that’ll do is help them develop stronger verbal skills, and reading too.

Hi again, don't know what to put in the title really. by stupidstories in NeovaginaDisasters

[–]megneto -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh, wow! Hey there! I can’t even begin to express how much I appreciate you coming here to make this post. Thank you for letting us know how you are doing and I only can continue to offer my support and hope you will continue to thrive and learn to love what you have.

You’re so much more than our meat vessel we walk around in daily. You have an incredible amount of worth, and your story definitely deserves to be heard and go on!

I hope the hate starts to die down, and more people willing to be open-minded and discuss freely become more common.

Pretty sure this person’s issue was too much erectile tissue was left. They don’t all do that, but it seems to be a common issue and different areas can puff out when aroused. I think it’s just an “easy” fix, as much as you can consider having to go under the knife again as easy.

It’s almost like we consume this way during holidays so we can experience it, and then go on with living our lives for the non-holiday days.

Trying to rally against and shame holidays for the excess is ridiculous. Our ancestors in various parts of the world have always had huge feasts like that on special occasions.

Let people stuff their faces and stumble around on a handful of days out of 365, and focus on the people that have to worry if they’re going to get a single meal in 24 hours every single day in that 365.

I just needed to share this bizarre twitter exchange that I stumbled onto. by StellaZagiew in GenderCritical

[–]megneto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even have an opinion on this if they stopped saying crap like that last one specifically!!!!

They know what it’s like being a trans woman, they have no clue what it’s like being groomed from birth as female.

Maybe you can relate and feel sympathy for our struggles, but many women’s struggles are unique, female at birth, problems you don’t have.

[–]megneto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless you know for a fact they do it for clout- I wouldn’t assume. I’ve only been in relationships with males because that’s just the “norm” and I was already shunned once for finding women attractive. Yes I’ve seen women I would date, it’s just never happened... It also seems like I am terrible at pulling females from recent experience at being open with exploring for dates 🤣
