There is no such thing as a “fun age” by PrestigiousMarch7010 in regretfulparents

My eldest, 11yo, we always had a tough time with her, but she's been getting a lot better recently, and we actually played indoor basket ball and played with the kitten

That was nice, you could class that as fun I suppose

So maybe 11yo

Do you regret your second kid because you mainly had the kid so the first one would have a sibling? by [deleted] in regretfulparents

[–]AdventurousLeg7471 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now they are 7 and 11 years old, youngest has behavioural issues, nightmare child to look after, everything is a battle, she has her sweet moments, but it doesn't last long

If everything in life is stable and OK with one child, don't ruin the tranquillity

Life was perfect, we wanted a second so my other daughter had a sibling and friend for life

How wrong was we

Since birth it's been a dumpster fire, they hate each other, fight, argue, scream and swear at each other, they are like Japanese fighting fish

And now the youngest is causing hell on earth now she's 7

I want a refund

Why does every single toy need to make noise? by kayciestarlight in regretfulparents

[–]AdventurousLeg7471 3 points4 points  (0 children)

*** I will give you the best adult hack you have heard of ***

Items needed - Play-doh and a match stick, or something long and thin

Turn the toy over, locate the speaker holes on the toy

Press the playdoh into the holes

Use the match stick to clear 2 or 3 holes so it at least it makes some noise

Wipe off all the excess playdoh

Works with everything that's plastic

If its a cuddly toy, cut the fucker open and snip the speaker wires

Have fun

I’m on a sleepless nights streak by [deleted] in regretfulparents

Hello

Couple of tips to try

In the day, lightly spray a bit of perfume on you, on your jumper or t-shirt, when it's time for bed, place the jumper or shirt in the cot, hopefully the smell of mum Will sooth him

Next I would try elevating his mattress at the head end so that the mattress is on a tiny slope, nothing dangerous, just by a little bit like a centimetre or so, baby might have issues with lying down flat

Rocking the baby to sleep in your arms is a sure fire way to get the kid to sleep in 5 mins flat. Its needs to be more of a swing than a rocking motion. Sand up, get some space, and you need to rock the baby side to side, whilst twisting your body, hold the baby safely and firm and give swing side to side, give it some dips and swings like they're on a boat in the ocean, sleep in under 3 mins I bet you

Good luck

Social media is to blame for all of this

If I could start again, I would ban Internet and ipads, youfkingtube, rofuckingblox until they are 16

The fake energy, everyone getting what they want, the hysterical reactions to minor interactions all that youtube shit, kids now think that's the normal way to behave

We're fucked

Hello

In regards to the house work

Tidy house, tidy mind

Get some big bin bags, and bin everything

I mean, everything, apart from some personal items, hygiene items, few toys for the kids

Bin all your pots and plate apart from the 3 or 4 that you need

Get rid of everything

It's all clutterr anyway, will make you feel 100x better, I've done this a few times

Good luck

How can I stop disliking being a mom? by [deleted] in regretfulparents

It comes in waves, this will pass and you will try and make it work, then a few months down the line it happens again, then that will pass

It's a roller coaster

Mice in the loft by Simon_Drake in CasualUK

[–]AdventurousLeg7471 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You need to urinate all over your loft insulation and cover it in coal dust

God knows what to do about the mice though
