7m old wont drink

My son is 7 months old and stopped drinking water. His poop is so dry that he screams and can barely push it out and we got medicine to soften it but it doesnt help. I have to make him drink more somehow but he refuses. Bottle, glass, spoon or that tube for taking medicine, he spits it all out and laughs. That's his fun activity now. Spitting water everywhere while i desperately try to make him drink at least few spoons -.- i am in desperate need of help. What did you do to make your kid drink more? Edit: I went to doctor and they both stated he should be hydrating more and gave me infant laxatives that state he should drink additional water. I am not asking for health advice on whether my child should drink or not, i got that already. I am simply asking how can i convince my kid to drink when all he wants is spitt it out and laugh :(

Is anyone else constantly scared baby will get covid?

I have a 1 year old and I’m absolutely terrified he will get covid and pass away. Everyone around him is fully vaccinated but I’m scared somehow I will bring it home from work to him. I feel so alone in my worries because no one else feels the same way. I guess I just needed to vent or hope someone else understands.

My baby turns one next month! The days are long but the years are short. 🥺

We give the child nourishing food so that his little body may grow, and in just the same way we must provide him with suitable nourishment for his mental and moral growth. -Montessori, #family

Daughter is being bullied

I’m not sure what to do/what advice to give to my 17 yr old. She’s a junior in high school and has been bullied/harassed by some other students, mostly boys. They bark at her and call her a bitch (and every other derogatory name you can think of). She is alternative and doesn’t dress like most kids. The school does nothing and she dreads going to school because of it. I dressed the same as her when I was in high school, but was never openly harassed for it and I didn’t give a shit about what others said anyways. I’m just not sure how to help her deal with their crap. Any tips or advice?
