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

Popular opinionOur childhood plays a major role on how we will be as a child. There are many different kinds of parenting and we will try to discuss bit-by-bit everyday. हम एक बच्चे के रूप में कैसे होंगे, इसमें हमारा बचपन एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। पालन-पोषण कई प्रकार के होते हैं और हम प्रतिदिन थोड़ा-थोड़ा करके चर्चा करने का प्रयास करेंगे। Authoritarian Parenting अथोरिटीयन पेरैंटींग 1. Does any of these statements sound like your childhood? क्या इनमें से कोई भी कथन आपके बचपन जैसा लगता है? 2. Your parents believed kids should be seen and not heard. आपके माता-पिता का मानना था कि बच्चों को देखा जाना चाहिए, सुना नहीं जाना चाहिए। 3. When it comes to rules, they believed it's "my way or the highway." जब नियमों की बात आती है, तो उनका मानना था कि यह "मेरा रास्ता या राजमार्ग" है। 4. They didn't take your feelings into consideration when you were a child जब आप बच्चे थे तो उन्होंने आपकी भावनाओं पर ध्यान नहीं दिया 5. Your parents have often uttered the words "because I said so" when you as a child asked questions and they never explained reasons behind the rules. जब आप एक बच्चे के रूप में प्रश्न पूछते थे तो आपके माता-पिता अक्सर "क्योंकि मैंने ऐसा कहा था" शब्द कहते थे और उन्होंने कभी भी नियमों के पीछे के कारण नहीं बताए। Is this the parenting style you had as a childhood.

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
