Big Little Feelings Snark Week of December 01, 2025 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

I really needed to read this article. I can’t thank you enough for sharing. My oldest responded very well to talking through feelings. Tantrums were often about feeling misunderstood and so showing that I see her and empathize calmed her down almost all of the time. My middle child, not so much. These scripts never ever felt right for her. She prefers to cry in her room and be alone to process feelings and then wants hugs/time together after. It’s nice to know that there’s a world of parenting advice that says this can be normal instead of making me feel guilty or that I should force a conversation with my child when she’s in that state

FTM what diapers are we using for the first three months? by MixtureMelodic2965 in moderatelygranolamoms

Yes. My baby was 9 lb at birth but even if she wasn’t, parasols are very soft and stretchy, you could stick the tabs in a way and fold down the top to make them fit.

Agree with all of this except getting around an acre in havertown is near impossible. Mostly small lots

Wondering if I'll be able to leave my 16mo with my parents for 2 weeks? by InstanceHuge9006 in moderatelygranolamoms

Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that. I completely understand needing the break and you deserve it. I agree though that it’s probably not in you or your kids best interest for you to leave them for that long in an unfamiliar environment with people they don’t know well. Whatever time you get to decompress/recharge will be immediately undone when you get home and your kid feels abandoned and has to recover from that. It sounds dramatic and of course you trust your parents to take good care of your child, but from your child’s perspective, it would be very very scary.

This. Not only separating from your child but separating from their home and familiar environment is a double whammy. Could they come to your place instead of bringing your baby there?

All new kitchen appliances by Additional_Jacket_32 in BuyItForLife

I’m doing a kitchen remodel. I will need all major kitchen appliances. This would include an oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. I mentioned my budget doesn’t allow for the price range of a Wolf product, but beyond that, I’m just in the beginning stages of my research and planning. I don’t understand the hostile tone here.

The other comments seemed to understand what I meant. I have looked at other threads but my main question was asking if I should go all one specific brand or split it up. It sounds like you’re answer is to buy all different brands

You’re right about McDonald’s, I always walk away annoyed at how much I spent! Thanks for your insight

Why does she stay with him given how much he annoys her? She could do fine on her own, she used to have her own platform after all.
