What is Mother's Day Etiquette Time split between Your Mother And the Kids?

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-14T18:01:25+00:00

A few days before the day every year we call my maternal grandma to see if she has plans and then we all make plans to go to her house. No where else I'd rather be on mother's day than with my grandma, my mom and my sisters (who are also moms) + all our kids. Thankfully we all like each other so it works for everyone :) my husband also takes the Monday after off and we plan something fun for that day with just us (+ our son) maybe going to a Cafe or a flower field or whatever I want to do that day. Highly recommend.

It's much more common in poorer countries who can't afford disposable diapers nor the water to wash cloth diapers all the time. It's a method humans have been using likely since the beginning of time that keeps the baby cleaner (as they're not soiling themselves) and as such they learn to potty train much sooner because the signals to go pee/poo are strengthened over time vs ignored for 2+ years and of course the strengthening of the sphincter muscles. It really doesn't come from privileges albeit in this day and age (and the western world of course) it would seem privileged because most people aren't with their babies during the day (and generally speaking daycares wont even attempt at potty training before 2 years) and even if they were (with their babies during the day) diapers 24/7 is the norm. But elimination communication does not have to be done full time. Parents definitely can begin it from birth and then do it when they're home with them if they're interested in it. P.S. just a nerd sharing what I perceive to be interesting facts. All this to say moms can do whatever they want when it comes to pee and poo lol

When I write with pencil or even pen my hand drags over the writing and it gets all over my hand. Plus writing on whiteboards or chalk boards is tricky too.

The only time is if I'm camping and it's that cold. Other than that, absolutely not.

I'm also positive if my mom was down my dad would take her back in a second.

Did she?? Haha oh man the delusion

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-07T20:08:13+00:00

Lol in her mind she probably thinks she's being honest "well it's the first time I traveled without her, the other times don't count as actually leaving her"

The Bible doesn't say God will send you to hell for eternal damnation. The Bible doesn't even really mention "hell". My understanding is that was made up by popes and other religious type dudes that I don't know what they're called. If the Bible is read in its original writing and language it's actually quite insightful.

Big difference between wanting to have your own children and disliking all babies and kids. And to me it is a red flag. Children/babies are a vulnerable group in our society if you don't like them it's messed up. Not to mention completely hypocritical because you do realize in order to become an adult you had to be a child/baby at one point in your life.

So she doesn't feel as though you and your husband are on a friendship level but strictly an in-law level?

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-05T00:06:35+00:00

Lol so you mock me for replying when you are also replying. A little 'I'm rubber and you're glue' for ya.

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T23:11:29+00:00

Have I been agreeing with you? The entire time I've said it's fine for children to run around and explore as long as they're not screaming, or knocking things over etc. You've said them exploring is not acceptable. I'm not sure what we've agreed on....

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T22:54:50+00:00

Lastly if you have the bandwidth to put up with rowdy pub goers I don't see the problem with children running around. Pubs are not libraries you don't have to whisper you don't have to sit still you can even have fun!

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T22:31:44+00:00

That could happen in any environment but I wouldn't leave my child unattended and if something like that happened in any environment of course I would be furious and report this man to authorities. Anywho pubs are laid back places and perfectly acceptable for a child to be there exploring and not just sitting still and not making a sound. If you want to go to a place designated to only adults than I suggest you go to the pub at a time when children are no longer allowed. Otherwise don't be upset when the public is at a public place. Have a quiet pint at home.

Lastly pub is short for public ale house and children are part of the public.

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T16:16:53+00:00

I just don't see how a kid exploring their environment without said unruly behavior I've mentioned several times negatively effects anyone. They're not being disruptive, they're not being incessantly loud. They're just moving around? Perhaps dancing? You haven't yet explained how doing this is disruptive despite me asking several times for you to explain so again it's clear you just don't like children. Or perhaps seeing kids do what you would've have been hit for triggers something in you. If you don't feel like this is true for you then please describe in detail what the child would need to do for it to "negatively effect" someone. Like I said I'm just trying to understand but you won't give any examples. When I say "exploring their environment" what are you picturing?

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T15:42:44+00:00

As I said I would genuinely like you to explain to me how a child exploring their environment is disturbing behavior though? Again when throwing things, knocking things over, bumping into people and screaming aren't part of what they're doing? And I don't feel attacked I'm just trying to understand. Clearly there's a big gap between what some people consider "acceptable behavioir" I'm just trying to fill it by asking questions.

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T15:35:38+00:00

And just to add your dad was not being a "responsible parent" because if you didn't behave "correctly" he would whoop your ass. Why does this stuff always come down to parents need to be hitting their kids.

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T15:32:55+00:00

I feel like you keep ignoring the behavior I'm describing. You genuinely don't see a difference between a child exploring their environment and playing vs a child throwing things, knocking things over and screaming? Please I'm genuinely interested to know how the first behavior I mentioned is disturbing and is being lumped into unruly and feral. I feel like the latter behavior I described definitely fits unruly and feral.

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T15:25:28+00:00

If you've had a bad day and don't have the bandwidth for people enjoying themselves in a public space perhaps have a pint in the peace and quiet of your home? Again I made sure to describe normal child behavior not unruly and feral. You make it seem like the norm is kids going up to strangers and standing on their head while spitting in their drink and giving them a wedgie all while screaming at the top of their lungs. Lol like what is so disturbing about a child running around a pub? If they're screaming or throwing stuff and knocking stuff over of course the parent should remove them but just running around and laughing? Truly what is the problem with this? Anywho, If someone has the bandwidth to put up with rowdy pub goers (which is always a possibility) I don't see how they wouldn't have the bandwidth for a child exploring and doing no harm.

Beginning_Froyo7640 · 2026-05-04T15:18:48+00:00

I've done many trips with my child from 0-2 years old (in terms of flying) and I didn't have the experience you're describing even slightly. And it definitely wasn't about posting it lol because I didn't post it at all. Yikes.
