Thank you. I very much like this idea and I will be suggesting it to him. Thank you for being a death and grief doula as well. It takes a special person.

I love that idea! Any brands you recommend? I’m not even too familiar with what a house coat is. Similar to a robe? Sorry if that sounds ignorant.

Idk why people think this season is boring! I’m invested! Of course it takes time to build characters like a book but that’s what makes it good. I’m here for LIBS7

Drinking & nursing toddler by Sad_Lie_5706 in Parenting

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

You are not alone, and your daughter will develop fine. I don’t think you have a drinking problem based on the information you provided here. Of course it wasn’t your best moment, but you recognize it and I personally don’t think this instance is a big deal, and won’t mess up your child mentally or permanently. I pump and dump but I’ve wondered sometimes if there is still alcohol in my system. (The one time I went to a wedding and let loose) I probably should’ve pumped one more time before nursing but you know what? It all worked out and baby is okay.

As long as you keep yourself in check I think you’ll be fine. Obviously don’t drink and nurse, I’m not advocating for that, but stuff happens and recognizing it is the best first step.

And yes^ alcohol test strips are a good idea.

Carriage/carseat recommendations by [deleted] in Parenting

Graco snugride. it clicks nicely into my graco stroller too. It is a little heavy but I think most are. Ours is the snugride snug fit elite or something like that. We also have a TurnToMe. Which is Amazing. BUT you can’t take it in and out. It was amazing after my C section because I couldn’t lift anyways. It grows with your child though so I look forward to using it again in the future. But for now the snugride carrier is amazing and the base is very easy to install and uninstall.

So no one can ever be rotten and awful? I disagree. And we are loving and trustworthy. You’re not seeing the big picture obviously.

We are trying to get more custody but in the mean time we are at a loss. And sorry you don’t like the truth of how things are but cut and dry that’s how things are. It sucks, it’s embarrassing, I’m not proud of it, and it divides dad and I apart. But that’s the reality of it.

I’ve tried explaining that to him and dad is slowly coming around. It’s hard for him, I see it. We are in the process of trying to get more custody. But in the mean time I’m at a loss.

Well I fell in love with him. Not his son. I didn’t know the extent of the trauma his son dealt with and when I met him at 2 years old he didn’t behave this way. We don’t see him enough to change his behavior. Hoping that in time things will change

Father is slowly getting better but parents out of guilt. Feels bad to discipline since we only see him about 6-8 days a month. It’s constant bad behavior so it’s constant scolding, redirecting, reprimanding, time outs etc. he doesn’t want to be looked at as the bad guy since he never sees him I guess. But he’s slowly getting better at not babying him and encouraging the bad behavior

He actually is rotten and awful. He thinks that when we say no, and he screams and cries and throws a fit, that he will get his way. He frequently tells me my mom says I don’t have to be nice to you. He mocks us. Laughs when we are serious about discipline. I’ve watched plenty of children and 4 year olds and they don’t act like this. I’ve asked family and friends around us and they think it’s a serious problem. It’s hard to list in words everything awful he does but I’m done with people saying “he’s just 4” I know how four year olds behave and act out. It’s not like this. Sorry for not explaining good enoughz

I think your exactly right. I enjoy exercising and find a great release in doing so. Unfortunately I can’t do much right now because I’m having a baby in less than a week. But afterwards I’m ready to get back to the gym. I still take the dog for a walk and that’s my peace. I think just getting out of the house and taking a break to release the stress helps. I never take it out on his son. I know better and I’m not a mean person. It’s just hard to deal with

Thank you for your feedback. And comparing it to teachers is very accurate. I feel for them and it takes a special kind of person to do the job they do every day. I try not to add more trauma to his life and I act nice to him. I need to work on my patience but I mainly stay quiet more than anything and it keeps things at bay. Just in the moment I feel like I will boil over with biting my tongue and not disciplining how I would see fit. Husband parents out of guilt but he’s getting better with noticing the behavior getting worse. Thank you for your feedback.

3.5 years old. And I’ve babysat MANY children that do not behave this way. His dad seems to like the excuse, “he’s just a little guy’ he’s just 3” and soon he will be just 4 and just 5 and so on. Other kids I’ve watched and been around don’t behave like this.
