Fainting videos

Tiktok seems to be flooded with parents pretending to faint and watching their autistic kids reactions. I really don't like them. Scary how little these kids give a toss about other people - autistic or not. My boyfriends son is like this 😬

We’ve done those videos too 😂 Honestly, I found them funny! You really can’t take everything so seriously nowadays. I’d be more concerned about the grown adults who walk past someone fainting in the street and don’t even stop to help 😭😂

Sorry what does that mean? “How little these kids give a toss about other people”

If you know anything about autistic kids you’d know most of them have no sense of danger and struggle to connect and have feelings towards others. People can do what they want with their kids some of the videos I think are funny and yeah crazy that they aren’t exactly in touch with that part of reality but we can’t do anything about it that’s how their brain is wired.

It’s not that they don’t care. They don’t understand. Which is scary, for those of us who have autistic children. I hope you’re of decent support to your boyfriends son

Sorry but we're worrying about how much the kids dont care. What about the parents that dont care about potentially traumatising their kids for the sake of a "funny" video or shaming them online for their response. A lot of autistic kids may not seem to react not because they're not worried but because they dont know how to help. Can we stop pretending autistics are the ones with no empathy when we're treated like this

Are you try to say autistic kids don't care about others?? They definitely do but don't know anything about danger! Do you know how their brain works? It's definitely not their fault it's literally how their brains wired. High functioning may know enough to help, low would not!

C-section mums..

How soon after your sections did you go for a bath, I’ve read your not meant to soak the scar/wound in a bath but doesn’t say when you can 🫣 sometimes a shower just doesn’t cut it for “me time” 😅
Also how are people keep it dry, I have a slight overhang so looking for the best way to keep the scar dry without rubbing it with a towel like I want too!

Tickling

Do you allow family members to tickle your child? I personally find it really hard to watch as I hate being tickled, and although my daughter is kind of smiling i don’t think she enjoys it. How do you tell them to stop doing it? Or am I being over the top?
My daughter is almost 15 months

Baby breastfeeding while asleep?

My 3month old has started to keep drinking while she falls asleep? As in, Im nursing her, shes suckling, and then she nods off but...just keeps suckling? Lazily, but definitely still chomped on. She fights me when I try to break the seal, and if I dont remove the nipple from her she'll sleep-suckle for 20, 30min easily. When I do remove it successfully she wakes a few minutes later, absolutely furious!

Is this a 3month thing? My poor nipples 😢

Washing clothes before baby gets here.. they're all ruined??

I've been washing the newborn and 0-3 clothes I've got for my baby. Online I saw advice saying don't use fabric softener as it's not good for babies, just use non-bio detergent, but the clothes are coming out feeling SO rough compared to how soft they were 😭 there's no way this is better for a newborn than straight out of the packet?? I feel like I'm ruining all the clothes.
I've been using Fairy Non-Bio.

Do you ever smack?

So I have a 24 month old and starting on our disciplinary journey. I watched an episode of supernanny where a 4 year old was screaming, kicking, hitting, spitting and generally out of control all day and it scared the shit out of me because I know im quite soft and sensitive and not always good at discipline. My mum already says my boy is way more wilful than I was.
How do you discipline? Many were saying the boy in super nanny needed a good smack...i don't like this idea but I see the need for it sometimes...
Any feedback welcomed
