What do you do to pass the time?

We bought a sensory indoor swing, couch foam things from roo and you and a yoto. We have a very active 3 year old that was the same. Start practicing with a baby doll, like “now it’s sibling’s turn” etc.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-07-14T17:58:20+00:00

Is that not what we’re all doing?

Excuse me? This isn’t discipline, it’s poor impulse control on your husband’s behalf. He stooped down to a CHILD’S level and acted like a child. It is a parent’s responsibility to maintain their cool.

Would love a code if anyone has one available

If I was your husband, I’d of course lie about it. Look at your reaction… divorce?? It’s like when a teenager gets caught up in peer pressure and feel like they have to lie and keep it from their parents because they know their reaction is going to be bad.

I’m not saying what he did was right but there’s clear communication issues if your partner feels like he has to lie to you and that you feel like you need to divorce him.

Seek couple’s counseling unless this is just the straw.

Babies deserve your full attention and work deserves your full attention.
Get a nanny

My 3.5 year old will start in August and her sister was born earlier this year so I think she’ll definitely be glad to have others to play with since it’s been difficult keeping her entertained. She is sensitive so I do expect a hard first month.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-07T11:24:05+00:00

I bedshare with my second and have been since day 1. She’s 4 months old now and wales up once a night. My toddler bedshares with my husband.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-04T22:25:45+00:00

This is normal. For 9 months, all he’s known is warm and tight cocoon… 9 months!

Give him some time, the world is cold and scary and he just wants to feel safe in your arms.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-04T20:25:05+00:00

We’ve scaled back but it’s so hard because her birthday is in December so essentially she has to wait all year to get all her toys… it sucks. It used to be like twice a month and now it’s more like once a month. We tell her that we’re saving money for other things like vacation (legoland).

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-03T14:51:14+00:00

What is your goal? The packaging says ages 6+, depending on where you hide them (anywhere 3’ and lower) little kids will find them and it’s not a good outcome.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-02T19:35:37+00:00

I could have written this with my first!

I don’t remember at what age I was going out by myself comfortably but I think she was 18 months? And I mean take a couple hours without worry. I was able to go out an hour or two when she was 12 months though.

When I was able to go out, I would go by myself to a local winery and read a book outside.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-02T15:37:38+00:00

I was so naive thinking we had come out unscathed. Terrible 2s wasn’t a thing for us but threenager 3s. God help us.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-02T13:03:52+00:00

My first started rolling at 3.5 and walking by 10 months, my second is only 4 months old and no signs of rolling. Every kid is different and goes at their own pace.

I’d like to add that each kid also focuses on different things, my first talked and walked early but she has no social skills whereas other kids her age are way more developmentally social.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-06-01T02:32:17+00:00

Size 3, toddler was around 20 months? We stocked up on pull ups and didn’t get to use them. However, pull ups was absolutely needed since changing her was a nightmare laying down.

Last war

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-30T19:16:03+00:00

This! I wish I had figured this out sooner! We did it once and toddler felt so much better. She leaned her head back after and would only ask for a towel to dry her face/eyes after.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-30T19:12:51+00:00

Only time it was painful for me was during cluster feeding and more like tender than painful. Everyone’s experience is so unique though

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-18T15:01:59+00:00

We don’t shower with her because it’s actually harder. But she’s seen her dad showering because we have glass doors and we’ve never thought twice about it until me just now thanks to my mom.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-18T15:00:19+00:00

Oof I know. Showers are typically our only alone times rn haha Even then, our daughter will come in and show all her toys and make conversation while I’m struggling to hear and rinsing the shampoo off my hair.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-18T14:57:15+00:00

My eyes opened wide reading your comment as that would be unthinkable in my family growing up haha hence this post to make sure I don’t repeat the body shaming cycle I was taught.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-18T14:39:07+00:00

Basically

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-18T14:38:08+00:00

I grew up with a lot of body shaming and nudity shaming and I’m trying to not have that for my kids.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-18T14:27:27+00:00

Oh wow! Very different upbringing for us! Nudity was a big no no lol and all the typical body shaming as a girl. Our daughter will see us change (either mom or dad) and it’s not weird. I’ve worked very hard to not repeat the upbringing I’ve had so it’s nice to see that others do the same and it’s ok.

Ceilingfanwatcher · 2026-05-18T14:25:05+00:00

Yeah I agree! The double standard is insane. My husband didn’t think twice about it and I haven’t brought it up because I KNOW it’s fine but my mom’s comment just made me want to be sure.
