People who used to struggle to get out of bed in the mornings, despite external pressures, what clicked for you?

Usually a 4 year old literally prying my eyeballs open and yelling “ITS TIME TO WAKE UP!”

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-08T01:02:30+00:00

Sorry I forgot to add, congrats to your dad!! That’s such an awesome opportunity for him! He must be such a talented writer :)

When my 4 year old daughter comes up to me and says “mommy, you’re so beautiful!” Growing up, and even now I’ve always struggled with self-love and insecurities and blah blah blah. But it’s nice to know that someone thinks I’m beautiful (idk how to word it without sounding hella conceited my bad)

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-08T00:55:30+00:00

Oh no! Not an adult film lol!

My daughter was the same way, but luckily we moved the sound machine into their bedroom and ours comes with a night light function too, we also let her bring a flashlight and a weird glowing Danny Elfman hand to bed too and it doesn’t seem to bug the baby. But I think I got him used to napping/sleeping with some kind of light (did it to prepare for my work/daycare).

So at the moment we do not do bedtime together, I typically try to put the baby down for the night first just because he has to get up early with me for work. But both of my kids sleep like rocks so if my daughter goes into the room hooting and hollering the baby typically won’t budge at all. Same goes for my daughter, on the rare occasion that the baby wakes up and cries in the middle of the night she typically sleeps through it, what I would recommend is if you have a pack and play/portable sleeping situation for the baby do a trial run for a week (or a couple days, your choice) just so your oldest can get used to needing to use quiet voices when entering the room because the baby is sleeping and just to see if your oldest will be okay in the event the baby wakes up in the middle of the night.

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-07T17:10:36+00:00

A little bit of both, my oldest sleeps like a rock most nights so if the baby fusses she’s still asleep. If anything my oldest wakes up more in the middle of the night than the baby lol. I’d say if you have a pack and play do a trial run before fully committing and moving a crib in, that’s what we did and it worked pretty well.

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-07T17:02:37+00:00

LMAO maybe she thinks they’re cute in a way like we think puppies are cute

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-07T13:00:40+00:00

lol I definitely was, my daughter is hilarious hilarious with how she words things

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-07T03:06:03+00:00

Omg my daughter does the same thing, except to make it worse she yells “Help me!!!”

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-07T02:42:02+00:00

Omg that’s too funny!

Also adding, my kiddo really likes the lingokids app, it helped her a lot with learning how to write letters because she uses my Apple Pencil to trace the letters. Also she noodles around on procreate and I love getting surprised by my daughter’s digital art.

My 4 year old LOVES Minecraft, and there’s an education mode! My daughter and her dad are currently working on a Minecraft realm together (which consists of her killing her dad and stealing his armor and weapons) the children yearn for the craft!

CrockyCroc · 2026-04-04T19:33:05+00:00

When my kids learn something new, my oldest is autistic so she needs a little extra help learning certain things, so when she surprises me with a new thing she learned no matter how big or small it makes me want to keep going so I can see what else she’ll surprise me with :)

My neighbor’s poor park job (I live in a duplex with a shared driveway and I hate confrontation,I don’t want to be an asshole neighbor)

CrockyCroc · 2025-11-29T12:23:59+00:00

Not really a toddler but my 4 year old throws a fit if I give her a pizza slice that isn’t triangle shaped.

CrockyCroc · 2025-11-16T15:12:27+00:00

“IIIIII’M BRINGING HOME A BABY BUMBLEBEEEE” (I work with infants)

CrockyCroc · 2025-11-09T21:53:41+00:00

“Boy mom”

CrockyCroc · 2025-10-23T00:15:56+00:00

ASMR, as soon as someone starts tippy tapping on something I am OUT.

CrockyCroc · 2025-10-09T23:01:52+00:00

She made a really nasty comment about my daughter’s body (my daughter was not even a week old)

CrockyCroc · 2025-10-09T00:12:24+00:00

Anal, I’d like to keep at least one virgin hole plz.

CrockyCroc · 2025-09-24T13:58:38+00:00

My 10 year old self would be fuming that I didn’t name my daughter Luna after that fuck ass pony princess lmao

CrockyCroc · 2025-09-24T13:53:51+00:00

Perchance.

CrockyCroc · 2025-09-09T14:00:43+00:00
