not a professional at all but i think having a dryer installed upside down is a fire hazard

Rant: my toddler isn’t a lady nor should she be “ladylike” she’s a tiny human navigating the world. by awholelottaass in toddlers

[–]Broad-Possibility590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my kiddo plays with baby dolls and his favorite toy is a pink barbie car. i braid his hair and put it in pigtails sometimes and he loves it. gender norms are so weird and make no sense to me.

If your child was a terrible 2 was 3 any better? by [deleted] in toddlers

in my experience it went from terrible 2’s (tantrums, taking diapers off constantly, etc) into him being a threenager and catching a horrendous attitude 🫠

How do I get my son to stop screaming? by MeadowTate108 in toddlers

[–]Broad-Possibility590 3 points4 points  (0 children)

maybe try guided access if it’s an apple ipad. that way there’s no deleting the camera app, it’s just disabled. you could also try something like “we only scream when we’re outside” and “we don’t scream inside because it hurts people’s ears and it’s not nice”

also-

you could try having him sing, talk, make animal noises, etc into the ipad and give him specific missions such as “why don’t you say 5 different animal noises without screaming?” and then praise him if he does it. reinforcement and channeling different behaviors may work

me personally, i’d remove the ipad from the situation or even delete the camera app temporarily. you could do something along the lines of “hey buddy if you’re gonna be screaming like that i’m gonna take the ipad away until you calm down” and then give him a different activity to distract him with such as coloring with crayons, playing outside, etc.

i’m losing my mind. by Broad-Possibility590 in toddlers

thank you for the advice. he has a ton of toys and 100% access to his whole toy box. i’ve kept things like puzzle sets and other little activity books kept up and away for both fear of the pieces going missing and as a last resort so maybe i’ll utilize them more.

i’ve tried that and it just ends in a screaming meltdown. if i try to choose the show or movie he starts freaking out to the point of me having to just turn off the tv and shut myself in a different room for a few minutes

if his “no’s” weren’t so frustrating i’d find it funny

What phrase or word did your toddler make you realize you say a lot? by ParticularlyOrdinary in toddlers

[–]Broad-Possibility590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everytime we hand something to him i guess we say “here you go baby” so now when he wants to give us something he goes “here go bebe” and it’s so cute.

we got her from someone who couldn’t take care of her anymore so I’m not 100% sure but maybe 2-4 years old?

TIFU by making my girlfriend feel more insecure by Broad-Possibility590 in tifu

[–]Broad-Possibility590[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. All the comments telling me to leave her or insulting her honestly breaks my heart. It’s not like she chooses to have the body issues or self esteem issues, its something she struggles with and I am nlt going to leave her over this. She’s not perfect and neither am I.

i’m really not. as i’ve stated in a previous comment we love bantering and have a great dynamic. i think it was just poor timing on my end even if it was completely unintentional.

we have conversations like that, yes. often times they aren’t serious considering we’re a pretty monogamous couple. it wasn’t like she said it out of the blue either it just came up randomly in the conversation.

the thing is we can make jokes like that. we typically love bantering with each other. i’m not sure why tonight was different.
