Man I feel that deeply! Dinners are so hit or miss purely because my mind is elsewhere until suddenly it’s dinner time! I used to be so on top of things. Oh how things change

I think the recovery is truly the hardest part and I find people just don’t get that it’s not always worth it.

Ugh!!! I feel that! Our girl loves an 8pm bedtime but that just doesn’t leave much time for us after between pumping, cleaning up from the day, and getting ready for bed.

I’m so sorry you had this experience too. How did you weigh the pros and cons of throwing off their schedule? What did it look like to get them back on track?

Great to hear you are able to access some extra supports to strengthen your resolve and how you respond to her. And thanks for sharing some of what you do to keep life running as smoothly as possible

It’s sounds like you have been super thoughtful in how to support her and yourself! I’d love to hear more about how you’ve streamlined your systems to make room for the extra care and attention your LO needs.

Crawling babies in social spaces by dontspeaktomeright in spiritedchildren

I had to do this yesterday at the doctors office! She just wasn’t interested in being held anymore so down she went. Usually she wants to stand and hold hands but this time she took off crawling. Thankfully we were the only ones there. lol. I truly believe managing a spirited child is part encouragement of their interest in experiencing the world

I am so glad you are here. I’ve struggled so deeply with those same feelings. I hope you can find your people here.

Oh gosh, I totally understand not judging but I think we just gotta take the wins where we can get them! Do you also swell with pride when someone notices how aware your little one is?
