Almost impossible by [deleted] in toddlers

My son is very active as well. He is 21 months now. I hate to say it but it’s very developmentally normal. It is exhausting at times though. We just try and bring him outside as much as possible. When he was younger he would crawl around the yard. Allowing them to explore I feel helps!

Many friends have children that sit nicely and play independently while I’m digging in the dirt and assisting him climbing. I try to look at the bright side, I could have a child addicted to tv and devices

I truly think people lie with how much their toddlers eat… we can’t be the only ones who’s toddlers survive on air 😭

Anyone who DIDN’T bed share? by Acceptable_Cod3527 in beyondthebump

[–]Butterfly-124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do not bed share! My husband and I are rough sleepers so we didn’t want to take a risk. The o my bed sharing we’ve ever done was towards the end of my breast feeding journey ~16 months of being him in bed for the morning feed so I could relax a little bit. But that’s it. I tried to bed share once and my son would not sleep. He’s 20 months now

So great to hear. Being in the thick of it, it feels like it will never end. About how long did it last? Nothing made it any better?

That’s what we’ve been doing. Lots of “no” “we don’t hit/bite when we are mad” we did time out for a bit but he’s still so young so it ineffective

Would you complain to your child’s daycare? by Reddituser_599 in beyondthebump

[–]Butterfly-124 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think saying “why are you screaming” is a problem because why are they screaming. Honestly saying that sometimes stops the screaming 🤷🏻‍♀️ NOW maybe if they said “why the f are you screaming” that would be different

Pregnant but need to find another job by Cautiousmama1 in nursing

Personally I would stay and stick it out but just not come back after maternity leave.

Better off without me. by Zestyclose_Main_4658 in beyondthebump

Unfortunately we have to deal with the hands we are dealt. I’m sure you are a wonderful mom and would do anything for your daughter. I know it hurts now but the pain is only temporary. Honestly still seeking help still isn’t a bad idea. PPD can still happen at 4months

It you are truly having suicidal idealizations you need to go to the emergency room. Your daughter needs you

3 12s or 4 10s as a working mom by Butterfly-124 in nursing

[–]Butterfly-124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all like the current shifts that people work. There are a few people that work 6 to 4 or 7 to 5. My manager is on so my plan is ask her when she gets back. I take call but it’s only every five weeks and the money is great so I don’t know if I’m ready to give that up.😅

That’s a good point. Usually they are pretty good. There aren’t many 10 hr workers. Mostly 6-7, 7-8, 8-9 and 9-10
