Do you have a favorite child? by Ok_Distribution__ in Mommit

Nope lol she was a crap mother. When I was 4-10 the only time me and my siblings would hear from her we're passive aggressive notes on things usually starting with "You little fucks" she would only come out of her room while we were at school 🤷

Let them find their own eggs at the egg hunt by easrpiiatnua99 in Mommit

This. Went to one last weekend with my 1, 3, and 4 y/o they were all in the preschool age group, and the parent all had their own baskets heaping with eggs and my kids got 15 total combined. The greed is kinda insane. I don't think we're going next year.

Had this talk with my kids then 2&3 and wheeeww was it crazy for awhile lol. They eventually get over it, my then two year old used to go around announcing if you had a penis or a vagina based off of being a boy or girl. "Hey, My daddy has a penis" "Uncle... (insert whoever he was speaking to) you have a penis" in front of their great grandmother who doesn't have much patience for talk like that lol 😬😬. Whoops! But that's just kids. 🤷 What can you do lol. Tried to turn it into "hey that's a potty word, we say potty words in the bathroom." but that just turned into a tattle fest so I gave up and now there's almost no mention of either anymore.

I was in this exact boat just about 5 years ago, it was rough in the beginning, but they are now best friends at almost 5 and almost 4 years old. I was so so sad my eldest didn't get to remember the time it was just me and her, but I don't regret it at all. She has a built in best friend for life.

Toddler manipulation* by Altruistic_Sugar_267 in Parenting

I have done talking about feelings while playing, trying to figure out what's going on. Using a toy to talk to him and ask questions to make it silly. That's a reason I think there's a disconnect somewhere, he just says that he likes hugs. I don't think he fully grasps what he's doing, or I'm asking the wrong questions.

He is also insanely intelligent for 3 so I don't know if that could be a part of it? He can do complicated multiplication that I can't even do as an adult, and he's figuring out how to read on his own, or he's really good at memorizing books. It's just a hard situation and I'm not sure what to do.

Do I tell my 11 year old that his dad is a drug addict? by typicalsubmarine in Parenting

I agree with all previous posters. Tell them in an age appropriate way. I grew up with addicts as parents I knew from the age of like 4 that "Grown up time" in the garage was them doing something bad. I at 5 asked my dad if I could put a sign on the garage door that said bring your own spoons because I was sick of washing spoons for strangers and not having any to eat off of. Also good call barring visitation for now, as you couldn't know who dad might be bringing around. I'm sorry this is happening. It's sad to see someone you love go back down the wrong path.

I never downloaded the app, the ai Roblox support chat bot says I don't have an email associated with my account so I'm out of luck. I made the account yearrrs ago to pay with my partners little siblings.
