... or ADHD, or food allergies, or anxiety disorders, or homosexuality, or any of other crap our children are plagued with.

After seven months on pregnancy forums, I’ve determined this is a big fat lie.

Women today are taking all kinds of shit during pregnancy. Heartburn meds, extra vaccinations, popping Tylenol like it’s candy, high dose progesterone supplements. Oh, and that doesn’t include all the drugs that are taken these days to just get pregnant, like the massive amounts of hormones you use during IVF or IUI treatments, or Clomid to increase ovulation. Drinking during pregnancy is becoming more acceptable (because one bitch wrote a book), and apparently smoking weed your entire pregnancy is no big deal either. Most psychiatric drugs are cleared for use during pregnancy as well.

This is on top of all the birth control, drinking, bad eating habits, obesity, and anxiety meds women are on for most of their lives.

But no, nothing in the modern world causes autism. You constantly freaking out about your mother in law’s innocent bullshit, or your high stress job, or your advanced maternal age, won’t affect your baby at all. Nothing causes problems!

Homeschooling is an option on the table right now. My husband is worried about socialization. I think he’ll come around when he realizes that school these days isn’t the pleasant experience he had, growing up in a 99% homogenous small town.

Homeschooling should be the first option. Public school is indoctrination. Think about all the factually incorrect ideas you learned in school. Hasn't gotten better, but now they have to stay 6 feet away from each other, wear face diapers, and learn how they're guilty of racism.

There's a lot of school kids that aren't socialized at the moment because schools are remote learning. Look into homeschool co-ops, you'll have all the socialization you need.

Ask him if bad socialization still counts as socialization. Nothing like groids pummeling your daughter at recess because she’s white. Or your son being introduced to drugs by 6th grade.

I have asked him that. Problem is, he has no frame of reference. I spent most of middle school dealing with fighting other girls; the Mexican bitches were awful. He’s never had the experience of somebody attempting to slam his face into a locker simply for being white.

I'd rather have my children learn to behave by being around responsible adults, rather than a bunch of shitty brats who were never taught right from wrong. Bring them with you into society. Make them pay for things at the check out line. They will grow into balanced adults. That's what socialization is. You can always look into homeschooling groups or just go to the park and let them play with kids while you supervise.

Lol my cousin’s husband didn’t even have a pleasant ride at school, and he is still worried about the baby’s socialisation
