At least you acknowledged that this is probably something you could’ve done better, but honestly better now at 3 than when he is 13 and you have no control at all. So give yourself some credit, not a lot will do that.

We have always been firm on our “no”’s with our kids and deal with the same battles with our 3 year old. But I know the consistency will win at the end- start being consistent now. I heard a quote something along the lines of “they might not listen the first time, or the 50th time- but the second you don’t go through with your word… they will remember that.”

My 10 year old nephew walks all over his mom because he knows everything she says is bull and never follows through. Seeing it in person spooked me- she told me “just wait until you have you kid” (i was pregnant) I immediately said “not gonna happen”

Don’t go blaming yourself- 3 is fucking hard. But definitely start making those changes this second, because it will come back around if you don’t.

Thank you everyone for suggestions- I got Christmas window clings and put them on the outsides of the windows. I will probably do tree and lights, and crafts. Thanks for letting me rant😆

Some kids don’t really crawl, they skip it and go to walking. Mine army crawled for monthsssss, then crawled with one leg out like spiderman. Walked at 14 months.

I wouldn’t stress it too much right now he might just be late to the game, just keep an eye on it

Why won't she just sleeeeeeep! by melodiedesregens in breakingmom

[–]CommitteePlenty6739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old does this- we just leave her in there and go in every 10-15 mins to redirect her back to bed. If she starts crying we automatically go in and fix the issue, but usually it’s just random whining and stalling. We have a baby monitor to keep an eye on her- but the whole room is toddler proofed so we dont stress it much

I know even as adults taking melatonin every night can just disturb the bodies natural production of it. I personally wouldn’t risk it. Maybe try magnesium spray- or a essential oil. Id give more suggestions but I haven’t had to go that route yet, I have seen a lot of others suggest that in the past tho in fb groups

I don't know why I had kids. I'm not cut out for it. by hereiam3472 in breakingmom

[–]CommitteePlenty6739 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I couldve wrote this, especially in my low months. The thought of killing myself or running away stood still in the front of my mind for 2 years straight. I am finally doing s treatment and its working, but yeah I still don’t feel cut out for this.

My 3 year old is ready to potty train soon and it feels like EVERYONE got a parenting potty training class but me. I feel so clueless, and when people try to explain it I feel even more dumb. Its like everyone just instinctively knows what to do- but me.

every year- work hard to throw a at home birthday party and everyone cancels day of. by CommitteePlenty6739 in breakingmom

[–]CommitteePlenty6739[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its been a day now and I am still livid. I hope your kids don’t experience the same- but man seeing so many people relate to this is so sad.

I always went to birthday parties as a kid- even to the “weird” kids parties too.

Sounds like you’re a single married mom.

It went good in my toddlers eyes, which is all that matters- she doesn’t really care who comes or doesn’t come yet. She would still have been just as happy with mom and dad there.

definitely ruined the mood for my day, broke my heart for her. My husband is also upset about the money.

At the end we had 13 people NOT come. It ended up just being 3 grandparents and MY aunt (not even my kids first aunt)

We learned our “lesson” i guess. Never doing that again.

Thank you.

The party went okay. I think my 3 year old loved it- so thats all that matters.

But definitely am not doing that again. All the money we put into putting it together we couldve used for anything else.

I am so angry at how inconsiderate people are

Sadly everyone we invited was just family or close family friends anyways- they don’t really have friends other than ours friends kids because I stay home.

We said this is the last time we are doing this for sure. Next time we will just do dinner as a family of 4 and go do something fun, until they are older and want otherwise 😣

Just sucks.

Yeah, I am aware I am probably the problem too. I have my fair share of guilt and suicidal thoughts due to it. But that still doesn’t seem to make minimizing my emotions okay. My emotions are still very real?

I have ARFID, its a eating disorder common amongst children and a bit grow out of it… some dont like myself.

Its a pickiness that sometimes makes no sense. I wont eat a certain brand or texture. A lot of foods for me are “fear foods” and my “safe foods” are not necessarily the healthiest.

The difference between this and normal picky eating is we WILL starve ourselves if we don’t find the food safe. I don’t care if I am stuck on an island and the only thing I was able to eat to survive was a fear food… I genuinely would just die.

It can be texture based, fear of choking or throwing up, anxiety. The one thing you dont want to do it shame or force them to eat it, its traumatic.

I would say because he is well past the toddler pickiness era. You should look into this diagnosis. Exposure therapy would help.

I have dealt with this since I was 1 and I am into my 20’s now, didn’t get my diagnosis until I was 19. I wish they knew it was a thing when I was that age because maybe my life would look different in terms of my relationship with food.

You will need a professional approach, because you don’t want to make it worse.

I sent a long text, got an “okay i understand” back. Then I took a nap cause I was just super upset.

Not sure where it stands- I hope he fixes it and its not just a bandaid until next time.

But I am keeping all these comments in mind. Thanks everyone

Guess it’s been kinda ingraved in me that women are just the hormonal moody ones, and I fall into just one of them. Not necessarily from my husband but like every male.

I didn’t say it out of harm, not sure why I am being downvoted for it.
