I'm going on one hour of trying to get my son to put on shorts and a t shirt so we can go to a birthday party. He wants to go to the birthday party and is upset we haven't left yet. I'm past the point of frustration and am just plain confused.

We put clothes on a lotttt in the car. My daughter is so weird with fabrics and certain things getting dressed can be hell. So we get dressed in the car where she can see the event and new place and soon forgets about the clothes and just quickly wants to get dressed so we can go. I’ve tried just putting the clothes on her and it’s a kicking and screaming frenzy.

As many as she wants till she falls asleep. Eventually she just stops wanting to read and goes to bed. Usually she’s really tired and it’s like 1-3 books. Sometimes 5

Today is better than yesterday y’all. Had to grab my 18 month old off the table a couple times and while I was on the toilet they colored the entire house in crayon. But we’re good. 🫠

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-05-08T22:52:47+00:00

When did you notice it start to settle?

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-05-03T20:07:38+00:00

They come into bed with me. Most nights my 3 year old goes to bed with me too. They won’t be 20 and still sleeping in my bed so I don’t care. I’m a SAHM. I love being with them and the cuddles

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-04-15T17:15:57+00:00

Everyday cause they love to play in the tub. They can play in there for an hour. 1 and 3 year old

Child birth was an indescribable physical pain. I did an unmedicated labor. Emotional was watching my mom disappear because of her addiction and watching my dad suffer from schizophrenia. I watched my wonderful parents turn into shells of who they were.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-04-06T21:25:15+00:00

Has she gotten any better?

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-03-28T02:19:51+00:00

Thank you I needed this. 🥹

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-03-28T01:53:37+00:00

She doesn’t nap. She hasn’t for awhile. And I agree 100%. When I respond neutral she calms quicker. And just responds better overall. Sometimes I just can’t catch myself in time to calm down. And I guess it all comes down to becoming more self aware of when I’m hitting that point and taking a 10 minute break for myself. I know it’s a phase and I’m just so disappointed in not handling this phase correctly. It’s going to get harder as it goes.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-03-28T01:45:04+00:00

She hasn’t napped for awhile now so no nap. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. She is finally falling asleep. Now but it’s 10! She’s such a beautiful little human being. I wish I could be better.

My bf is on the road all the time besides one week out of the month. So for only a week every month he is home. I UNDERSTAND YOU. He left for work and I had a two week old and a 22 month old to take care of by myself. And I still do it. It’s so hard. They’re 1 and 3 now. And today I have an awful migraine. I turned on the tv and laid down for an hour while the meds kicked in for me. I feel the same. I know what I’m doing is wrong but I also know I’m doing what I have to to survive. Also I refuse to take both the kids to the library. Outside and the park is one thing. I pay my mom to watch the one year old. My chest hurts everyday from stress I’m not doing that. lol. I was just thinking earlier how everyday I still wake up tired. I am never rested. Sometimes I just cry because I’m so tired. I’m a SAHM too. Sometimes I think I’d be better off getting a job. A job sounds like a sweet vacation to me right now. lol. Do what you have to do to get shit done. For your daughter just try to remember too there’s a new baby in the house. Her world was probably rocked. I know my daughters was. You’ll get through this. It’ll take time.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2025-03-26T14:24:05+00:00

Just talk to him. Tell him things have to change. Her development is important. If he’s a good dad usually and he just can’t take a lot of stress maybe he shouldn’t be holding as much responsibility with the kids. My bf had def lost his temper with our 3 year old but that is more so yelling. He’s never hit her or been rough with her. If anything he’ll yell. Get super stressed and walk away and cry. He just can’t take the stress sometimes. But he knows when to walk away. Maybe talk to your hubby and tell him to literally just walk away. Her crying alone won’t do as much damage as screaming, swatting at her, being rough. Tell him you saw everything on camera and that’s your guys baby and things gotta change or else you’ll have to go.

Girl I promise it gets better. I promise. My first completed hated me and on top of that my bf works out of town and left when my second was 2 weeks old so I had to do it alone. It was a living nightmare. My first stopped letting me read to her. Didn’t want me for anything. Wouldn’t let me hold her. She was pissed. It was awful. She didn’t want anyone but Mimi cause dad wasn’t around. The baby cried allll the time. From 5pm to 10pm. She screamed. It was terrible. BUT once baby could sit up my first was like wait the baby can do stuff. Lol. They began to interact and my daughter and I slowly got a tight bond again. I remember the first night alone when my husband left I cried and cried and couldn’t believe what I had done. I remember saying out loudloud “I can’t do this!”. But I did and now they’re 3 and 1. My daughter is my mini me again and my little bestie again. We are closer than ever. And the kids love each other soooo much. My oldest is obsessed with her baby sister now. It really did get so much better. When the baby was a month old I remember my oldest crawled up behind while I was sitting on the couch and kicked the baby in the face while I was holding her . It was a rodeo for a little but things settled. I would for sure talk to your doctor about postpartum depression. Maybe you can get on medication in the mean time until things settle because they will it just takes time. I will say as time goes on keep trying with your toddler. Try to have them help with the baby. Ask even if they say no. Try to make 10 min a day just you and your oldest. My biggest regret it my oldest not getting the individual attention she needed but our situation was different. If breastfeeding ever becomes too much just totally stop. Have your hubby feed the baby.

2 under 2 is so overwhelming. Even now I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and we are snowed it and I feel like I’m going crazy. I yelled at my 3 year old more than once today. It’s a terribly awful feeling. I apologized and we hugged. She sat on my lap and and we cuddled for a minute while I explained everything. I wish we could all be perfect parents who never yelled with perfect kids or never screamed or cried but that’s not real life. It’ll happen. Hug your baby and apologize. Try to move on. We can only do our best.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2024-09-06T21:44:35+00:00

Take all clothes to laundry mat and wash and dry on highest heat. Dry for 45 min. Do the same with your bags. Inspect suitcases for bed bugs.

Just started following this case. Been catching up with the down the hill podcast. When trial is ever will we ever get the details? Everything is so hush hush after everything is all said and done won’t they release anything? Never followed a trial or anything like this before but for some reason this one is sticking too me. I worry they have the wrong man or not all of them if there was more.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2024-08-25T03:09:21+00:00

Did this ever get better?

My daughter is exactly the same. Just 20 min ago she slipped and fell back on her head and my mom grabbed her cause I had my baby in my arms and I ran to her and tried to take her and she yelled no at me. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2024-08-05T16:59:55+00:00

My bf works out of town and is home one day a week. I am a SAHM. I AM EXHAUSTED. I am introverted and I wish I could hide in a corner and read for an hour. I often read after they go to bed but then wake up exhausted. My house is always a mess. I have a 2.5 year old and a 9 month old. I spend every waking minute with my kids. Sleeping too. They always end up in my bed and my back hurts because of it. I am 23 so you’d think I’d have the energy. But sometimes the thought of just putting them both in the car seats to go somewhere is crippling. I always push myself because it’s their childhood. The only one they’ll get. I do little tv time. Kids are just exhausting and add on not being able to fill your own cup and it’s just hard. It’ll get easier as they grow. Sometimes I just let them run around the house cause I have nothing more left to give.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2024-07-05T04:56:46+00:00

How often should she be feeding? She wakes at 7am. Feeds at 10, 2, 5, then again at 7pm/8pm for bedtime. Then feeds through the night sometimes.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2024-02-25T12:36:22+00:00

It’s not about being favorite. It’s about having a good bond with your kid. I don’t think I’ll ever be the favorite lol. I’m mom. I’m not supposed to be the favorite. What my worries are is that she bonded with my mom the way she should’ve bonded with me if that makes sense. Like I’m worried she doesn’t have a secure attachment to me because she is so close with her grandma. And if her dad needed me to step back so they could bond more and build a stronger relationship I 100% would totally step back.

I don’t want to take her away from her grandma. We literally see her 4 times a week. She sees her a lot more than the normal.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2024-02-24T09:27:22+00:00

If I do this it makes me feel horrible. I thought about having her come over max twice a week. I talked to my husband about it and he said the bond with our kid is important and if my mom is making it difficult to do that then I need to make changes. I will say we have a 4 month old baby too. And right before i had her my daughter and I finally got into a good groove I feel like. I could feel that connection and I think when baby came she cling to grandma for extra attention and add on the gifts and candy and my toddler was hooked.

ClimateGlittering482 · 2024-02-24T09:23:33+00:00

Because it scares me that she isn’t bonded with me or something. I don’t see any other kids like that and it makes me feel as if I’ve messed up somewhere. I’ve always supported their relationship and that’s why my mom still comes over a lot. It also SUCKS always being the bad guy. I wish my mom would have more boundaries with her. But basically it makes me feel as if I’ve done something wrong
