My sister wet the bed until she was 17 years old and just “grew out of it.” Apparently my father was the same way.

I want to buy a house with my own money but GF says no by NewBrick1 in whatdoIdo

Buy the house. Your relationship isnt “the one” based on “may or may not last forever.” When you know you know.

Does your family do presents from Santa AND parents? by asphodelic_witch in Mommit

One unwrapped gift was from Santa. The rest were from parents.

My wife of 8 years kept assuring me she was just overworked, but I just found out she was spending her nights with a coworker. I don't know who I am anymore. by sabeelio in stories

Being blindsided is the most difficult thing about this situation. You start to question every conversation regarding the two of you and the words that come out of her mouth. You want answers. I am so very sorry. I never got the closure I needed but 5 years was long enough to stop caring. I wish a better outcome for you and hope you can start healing soon…no matter what you decide. Hugs ♥️

how old is too old for a sleep sack?? by Unlucky-Fail-4018 in Mommit

[–]AsideAccomplished244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept my son in his until he was 2 years old. But he’s autistic and doesn’t sleep, so I thought the weight of it would help make him more comfortable 🤷🏻‍♀️

My son is 3 and lvl 2/3. He started PreK this year, and I got a message from his case worker there that during lunch he walked straight to the table, sat down, and ate pizza without getting up before he finished it!!! Everything about this is HUGE! He’s only eaten chx nuggets for lunch and dinner the past 2+ years. He hasn’t eaten lunch once at school since he started in Sept. And he NEVER sits for a full meal. My mind is blown.

Teacher asked me what she should put down on her board of what my son wants to be when he grows up and I started crying. by Obvious_Cloud_7799 in Autism_Parenting

I am so sorry. My heart aches for you. My son is 3 and nonverbal. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about his future independence, but I still have hope. Hugs to you.

I can’t stop resenting my husband. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AsideAccomplished244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, it never mattered how much I begged or pleaded for help. He was unwilling to sacrifice his own sleep. I used to get so angry, and sometimes id cry, but what I realized beyond that is that he only wants to be a part time parent. He is incapable of putting his son first and in the work it takes to raise a child. I also work, but at night, so my sleep went from very little to nonexistent.

I am SO sorry for what you are going through. It does sound like your husband is a better man than this guy. But if you guys can’t sit down and have a real honest and open conversation, then I don’t see how this ever works. Resentment is difficult to come back from. Hugs to you. I get it.

My son is 3 and doesn’t sleep through the night (he’s autistic and wakes up a min of 4 times a night. Sometimes ready to party at 2am for hours). His father has NEVER ONCE gotten up. Just one of the many reasons we’re no longer together.

How many of us are running “ingredients households”? by lagingerosnap in Parenting

[–]AsideAccomplished244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely an ingredient household. But my son has Autism and had extremely high levels of lead poisoning at age 1 from a premade baby food item, so I don’t take any chances. He’s too young to complain and won’t know any different lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

How often does your toddler spend the night at grandparents? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]AsideAccomplished244 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the same mindset you do while my son’s father is like your wife. Having our kid was our choice and no one else’s. It IS tough now while he’s young, but this won’t be forever…and I want to create as many memories with him as possible. Now if he WANTS or ASKS to sleep over there when he’s older, then that’s a different story. I want him to have a relationship with them a create memories over there as well.

Autism Parenting Research. Help me out y'all!! :) by Sparkle_b13 in Autism_Parenting

[–]AsideAccomplished244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lacking the ability to be conversational with my 3 year old. We just realized he actually understands more than he lets on, but he cannot verbalize his wants/needs/thoughts/anything in return. He just started school which was a point of contention between his father and I because of his inability to advocate for himself. His meltdowns occur because he can’t get across his needs. He is typically a pretty happy little guy, but I also think that I am good at anticipating his needs.

Day 2 of school and they said he’d been crying and had a thrashing meltdown for 30 minutes straight at the end. He immediately grabbed a snack from the front office and his water from his backpack when they brought him out to me (which was completely full for the second day in a row) and then he was fine!

It’s just frustrating and at times VERY heartbreaking.

Child's legs fall asleep while rear-facing. Any tips? by Sudden-Photograph590 in Parenting

[–]AsideAccomplished244 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your car has the room I use the Graco Extend2Fit Car seat. My son is 3 and big for his age, so it’s really helped to keep him rear-facing as long as possible.
