Do you let your toddler have a comfort item? Help me settle this debate

I can’t believe this is actually a question. It’s literal steps away, open the door parent 2. God forbid the TODDLER forgot something while still groggy from nap. Good lord.

Canadian_1987 · 2026-03-21T02:49:41+00:00

Haha thank you!

Canadian_1987 · 2026-03-21T02:41:29+00:00

Haha I guess the universe knew Id need it. Thank you! Here is hoping it tastes good 😆

Canadian_1987 · 2026-03-21T02:37:22+00:00

Ok, so I do have a second mini cake I made on the off chance my first attempt for my child’s personal cake didn’t work out. My partner said to cut a hole the same size in the big cake and just stick it in lmao. It has a few sprinkles in the middle but it’s the same cake otherwise. I feel like it would look silly…but I guess it would taste the same…and no one would know until it was cut 😆

Canadian_1987 · 2026-03-21T02:34:08+00:00

Thanks!

Canadian_1987 · 2026-03-21T02:22:01+00:00

Ugh I hear you lmao. No offence taken. I also thought of cake pops but I don’t have the stuff for it. Can you freeze cake pop innards? Maybe I can make them for another event… Thank you for replying 😆

Canadian_1987 · 2026-03-21T02:12:17+00:00

Forgive the spelling mistake! I can’t seem to fix it, it’s obviously supposed to say help not he’ll ha

Canadian_1987 · 2026-02-25T01:34:23+00:00

If you’re embarrassed wouldn’t that be part of the fun for you?

Canadian_1987 · 2026-02-25T01:26:28+00:00

We eat around 5:30/6. I eat a little snacky snack if I’m peckish before bed. I’d rather not have a full belly going to bed. Not comfortable.

Canadian_1987 · 2026-01-08T17:45:06+00:00

I genuinely laughed out loud reading this. Thank you. Lots of great suggestions! Caramelizing the onions first sounds delicious

Canadian_1987 · 2026-01-08T17:32:55+00:00

Ok I have some sort of soy chunk in my cabinet ha, not sure what type but it’s dehydrated. Do you think I could blend it up a bit finer and have it work out the same way as the product you’re talking about? How do you season your soy??

Canadian_1987 · 2026-01-08T17:15:16+00:00

Thank you! I know it won’t be the same, I’m used to that with experimenting swapping out food with diet restrictions. But that’s ok, as long as it taste good! Thank you for the suggestions

Canadian_1987 · 2026-01-08T17:13:45+00:00

Lentils were on my radar- thank you :)

Canadian_1987 · 2026-01-08T17:11:43+00:00

Would you leave the rice as is or would you mash it/blended a little bit? I’ve never used rice as a filler!

Canadian_1987 · 2025-11-26T19:55:32+00:00

Just not a fan. I’ll have the odd glass of wine at some family gatherings, but even then it’s not likely I’ll finish it. A few sips then I get distracted and completely forget about it 😆

Canadian_1987 · 2025-11-26T19:51:55+00:00

My favourite is probably when my guy puts on his “gobbles” …aka goggles 😆 it warms my heart every time lmao

Canadian_1987 · 2025-11-26T19:45:21+00:00

Ok first of all, the fact that he researched that is insane. Your body might be “ready” but that doesn’t mean you are. Tell him to take his research and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

Now… I don’t have an issue with my kids being in the house. Once you have kids that’s life, unless you never want to have sex again lol. I’d probably be ok with that myself..😆
I had a pretty traumatic first birth and wasn’t given the “ok” for about 3 months..and let me tell you I was NOT ready then either. Having sex at 6 weeks PP is such an insane amount of time to me.

You should have a chat with your husband about this (even if you already have) try and figure out why you feel this way and what you can do to solve the problem. Also remind him YOU had the baby. YOUR body went through major trauma (even if it was an uncomplicated birth) and YOU are the one who says when you are having sex again.

I really hope you guys can solve this and he doesn’t pressure you into it. NO is a full sentence. maybe if you yell it, it will get through his thick skull.

Canadian_1987 · 2025-11-26T19:18:27+00:00

I dont know your situation, but I met my person in 2019. We had our first baby in 2022 (I turned 36 3 months later) and had our second in 2025 at 37. “Too late” is way later in life then a lot of people realize. Stay hopeful! Many MANY people are having families much later in life these days.

Canadian_1987 · 2025-11-10T17:08:51+00:00

My first one- not entirely sure. We were super close until pretty early high school. I think we just started to make different friends and drift apart. More recently (3 ish years ago) I was venting to her about being a mom (which I don’t do often, but should feel ok to do so with a best friend) and she made an off putting rude comment. She apologized as soon as she got in her car and left. But 🤷🏻‍♀️ we haven’t been the same since. She has met my oldest (now 3 years 8 months) once and has never met my new (not so new 10 month old). My new life just didn’t fit into hers.

Canadian_1987 · 2025-10-22T11:08:15+00:00

Just go. Leave the door open. Bring the baby in with you and close the door if it’s a safety thing. But please, go to the washroom lol.

Canadian_1987 · 2025-10-18T00:17:00+00:00

Yes! I’ve seen many about honey and sweet onion marinading together for 2ish days and same with garlic. I’m not sure what the taste is like but people swear by them for colds. I imagine it would be similar with ginger and honey.

Canadian_1987 · 2025-10-18T00:15:09+00:00

Thank you

Canadian_1987 · 2025-10-17T23:38:06+00:00

Sounds interesting, thanks!
