This is a community to rant about the pain of being in Family What's App groups. We can't stay in them but we can't even exit them. Share about those aunts, uncles and cousins who you hate being in a group with 🤣
My family group chat is turning into a VERY problematic cringe-fest, all thanks to my dad and his constant SEXIST forwards 😭😭!! It's getting real awkward real quick and IDK how to deal with it anymore. Do I drop the truth bomb and call him out in the group, or just roll my eyes in silence? How do you deal with this kinda stuff without creating more kalesh than there already is?? Share your wisdom because, honestly, I'm torn between peace and speaking up against this cringe-fest. Ever been in a similar situation?

hahaaa, certainly an awkward situation. If it's happening continuously, tell him politely to stop.

Just mute the notifications for that group. I think that's best. If u don't see it then u don't get affected.

Dealing with sensitive family dynamics like this can be tough, but here are a few approaches you could consider: Direct Communication: If you feel comfortable, consider having a private conversation with your dad about how his forwards make you feel. Express your concerns calmly and respectfully, emphasizing that you value open and respectful communication within the family. Humor and Redirecting: Sometimes, gently redirecting the conversation with humor can help diffuse tension. For example, you could reply to the forwards with a light-hearted comment or share a different topic to steer the conversation away from the problematic content.

1. it is your dad, so maybe you can talk to him in person about this. 2. put the notifications on mute and don't check 3. ask someone elder, maybe your mom to talk to him

Nutrition is a corner stone for the child's physical, mental and emotional growth & development. It is crucial for the proper development of the different cognitive functions of the brain and the child's intelligence & IQ. To build a healthy long productive life, you must start early even before the child is born as the first 1000 days are crucial. It is important that the child eats all the needed food groups on a daily basis together with limiting and avoiding all those junk fast food that are eaten frequently nowadays. Understanding all different aspects of healthy eating will help parents and child caregivers make better choices for their children. When children have healthy relations with food, they can easily reduce their prevalence of many behavioral disorders and chronic diseases. التغذية هي حجر الزاوية لنمو الطفل وتطوره الجسدي والعقلي والعاطفي. وهى أمر بالغ الأهمية للتطور السليم للوظائف المعرفية المختلفة للدماغ وذكاء الطفل ومعدل الذكاء. لبناء حياة صحية طويلة ومنتجة، يجب أن تبدأ مبكراً حتى قبل ولادة الطفل لأن أول 1000 يوم تعتبر حاسمة. من المهم أن يتناول الطفل كافة المجموعات الغذائية التي يحتاجها بشكل يومي مع الحد من الوجبات السريعة التي يتم تناولها بشكل متكرر في هذه الأيام وتجنبها. إن فهم جميع الجوانب المختلفة للأكل الصحي سيساعد الآباء ومقدمي رعاية الأطفال على اتخاذ خيارات أفضل لأطفالهم. عندما يتمتع الأطفال بعلاقات صحية مع الطعام، يمكنهم بسهولة تقليل انتشار العديد من الاضطرابات السلوكية والأمراض المزمنة لديهم.more
