Ep. 410: Rage Bait

Shanna and Laura talk bizarre pregnancy infographics and shockingly bad mom "hacks" in the special segment "Internet Insanity." Also, Shanna recounts a tumultuous week of getting her 7-year-old started on a new medication, and Laura reports on some unexpected news from her 5-year-old's ENT appointment. Finally, the moms share their BFPs and BFNs for the week, including a spontaneous neighborhood adventure and a long-overdue outing to a beloved Los Angeles children's museum. Shanna's kids are 7 and 10 years old, and Laura's kids are 7 years old and 5 years old.Topics discussed in this episode:• Strategies for helping your child start a new, daily medication• Navigating ADHD medication side effects and adjustments• Figuring out if your child needs ear tubes put in• What are adenoids, and why do kids get them removed?• Terrible AI-generated health content online• Questionable parenting "hacks" on Facebook• Getting out of a rut: "capital A activities" for kids in Los AngelesProducts, links, resources mentioned in this episode:• The ADHD Parenting Podcast• Ruchi Singh - Facebook creator of terrible AI pregnancy posts• Questionable kids' natural makeup hack• Questionable swim diaper hack• Hopia Like It - Filipino bakery Shanna discovered on a neighborhood walk with Cece• KidSpace Children's Museum - Laura's BFP outing in PasadenaPast BFP episodes mentioned in this episode:• Ep. 405 - Where Shanna and Laura talk about ADHD• Ep. 402 - Where Laura talks about taking Sebastian to the ENT to discuss the status of his ear tubes at age 5• Ep. 266 - Where Laura reports on Sebastian's ear tube surgery at age 2Connect with Us:• Become a Patreon member to access ad-free episodes, bonus content, live hangouts and more! patreon.com/bfppodcast• Follow us on social: Instagram, TikTok or Facebook at @bfppodcast• Join our Facebook community group for support and camaraderie on your parenting journey.• Visit our website: bigfatpositivepodcast.com• Email us: [email protected]• Send us a voice message: speakpipe.com/bfppodcastIf you enjoyed this episode, help spread the word by sharing the show or leaving a review.
