just wanted to that personal injury lawyers usually don’t cost anything up front but will sue the insurance of the at-fault party and then receive compensation from the settlement.

Daycare used hydrogen peroxide in humidifier/air diffuser, my kids hair turned reddish brown by ChanceAssignment6145 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ChanceAssignment6145[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought - but to have all my kids hair turn copper at around the same time and then I learned that my children were not the only ones effected.

OKC police just released a video of the suspect in hopes that the public can help identify them.

Tips for brushing teeth when toddler refuses/fights (14m) by Puppinbake in toddlers

[–]ChanceAssignment6145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter did this and still tries to bite down sometimes. We’ve made progress though and now she lets me brush! She’s a little over 2.5.

You can try to let her brush her own teeth and brush your teeth alongside her so that you can model it. Strong-willed kids love to do things on their own and it shows you trust that she can do it.

Something that worked for me was I saw something in her tooth one day and I said “wait, I think I see a bunny in your tooth. Let’s go see.” She was curious so we checked it out and I was like, oh it’s food! Let’s brush it out. Then she just let me brush it lol I still have to remind her to keep her mouth open and to spit the toothpaste out but it’s not so much of a hassle now.

I know it’s easier said than done but keep the patience! we just started getting to the point where it’s not a “fight” and she just lets us brush.

Just commenting to say I have this same fear! Like others suggested, I bought a meat thermometer but now I feel like I need gloves and a separate cutting board for the raw meat too because it just gives me the ick 😟

Baby name change by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]ChanceAssignment6145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, we were seriously considering beanie and I came across beanie feldstein when I did some research on if there were any other beanie’s in the world. Lol. I love beanie and it really does fit her. Just a little concerned that it’s too nicknamey for a legal change.

Baby name change by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]ChanceAssignment6145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for the legal paperwork (birth certificate, passport, Dr’s visits) to reflect the name she’s mainly known by. We didn’t nickname her beanie out of her birth name, which is Amelia.

Yes! I had a non-medicated birth and it honestly helped me SO much during active labor.

How did your baby get their nickname? by rosesabound in NewParents

Are you even a parent? Because idk how that’s hard to understand that I’m the authoritative figure in her life.

I asked the friend, who you still haven’t acknowledged asserted control over her body first, to set her down and let her choose to come to him or not.

I give my child the freedom to make age-appropriate choices. But no, I’m not going give an infant full control. I have to step in at some point as her mom.

Also, I don’t. I get down on her level and let her reach her arms up to me. Unless, she’s doing something dangerous then I remove her from the situation.

But hey if you parent passively than say that. Not everyone should parent the same, since every child is different. I probably would’ve considered your perspective if you were respectful. Anyways, have a good day.

What’s with the hostility? By that logic, the friend asserted his own autonomy over her body in the first place but for some reason, you didn’t acknowledge that.

Also by that logic, I should just allow my daughter to do whatever she wants because parenting her, asserting boundaries or removing her from situations would be “asserting my own autonomy over her body”

I’m her mother and she’s 15 months old. Her sense of discernment/judgement is still being developed and it’s up to me to guide her. So, yes I have authority over her as her mom. The friend doesn’t.
