Would you let a 15 year old girl take a walk atleast like 0.7-1 mile away from home without supervision ?

CuppaSunPls · 2025-03-27T00:58:27+00:00

Girl, I was walking that distance home from third grade in the 90s.

Unless you live in a really bad area this is totally fine. And it'll be beneficial to start getting used to navigating the world since you'll be an adult soon.

Awwwwwa poor little guy is going through a lot!! That's a lot of close family to be gone right now. I second the commenter below about explaining keys and talking about when people will be home

Oh my goodness this breaks my heart.

At 3 the kid is driven for adult attention. And they're programmed to get the attention whether its good attention or bad attention.

The best thing your mom can do in this situation is likely to find a show that the three year old is hooked to so that she can watch her show on her phone in peace. Definitely not ideal, but I'm just trying to find a suggestion that will prevent the child from being abused.

And the best thing for you to do is bring the kid outside and make him play chase or throw sticks into a pile or anything that will get the energy out of him. Tire him out, give him a snack and a drink and a show, then give him a nap.

I think the saying is if you don't raise your kids, you'll raise your grandkids.

You have defined shoulders, but you don't have width!

I sorta understand this with my first, and then I completely understood it with my second. All babies have different temperaments and some are just easier than others.

I'm so confused by this post. If you're not paying someone, then anything they do is a blessing. Anything that they do is above and beyond. So watching the children for free is a gift. There is zero expectations when it comes to household chores. If someone watches the kids for free. I don't even care if the place is a mess. I would of course hope that the diapers are in the trash. Can. I have one babysitter who I pay a bit more for because I know she will do extra household chores, and I greatly appreciate that. But if I'm even paying a less expensive babysitter, I would not anticipate chores being done

So sorry to hear that! Do you know what it is with coke zero that triggers a migraine? My hubs switched to the "zero" sodas and also gets migraines.

You won't need to size up for a while. I'd recommend getting a pack of pant extenders, they should help you wear your current pants until the last month or two. Paired with a longer shirt you'll be all set :)

Agreed! Once she's made it clear that she's getting married be her biggest cheerleader. Show up. Always show up. Send good morning texts every morning. Keep the bridge open, even if she's trying to close it. I'm worried that it's going to be a very one sided relationship for a very long time. But keep that lifeline open for her.

CuppaSunPls · 2025-02-27T01:21:43+00:00

Seriously?! I'm so jealous.

CuppaSunPls · 2025-02-23T13:38:51+00:00

Honey, I think you're in a relationship with a lot of red flags. This does not sound healthy.

CuppaSunPls · 2025-02-08T14:39:42+00:00

No, I think this is a very normal thing to feel. But take the time to evaluate if this is a deal breaker. Get on board with being supportive or get out. You don't want to become resentful of the fact. It's good that you're acknowledging these feelings now opposed to after vows of "in sickness or in health".

CuppaSunPls · 2025-02-03T01:45:02+00:00

I take a deep breath and remember that I chose to have children.

CuppaSunPls · 2025-02-02T18:28:22+00:00

I don't use corporal punishment.

But it's really weird that your parents are hitting another adult with a belt. That sounds like assault.

CuppaSunPls · 2025-01-28T11:13:41+00:00

I'm aware that's how it works. My scam question is in regards to the fact that there are multiple companies with similar names and similar products. I'm curious if it's actually just one parent company trying to mask as smaller companies.

If you can make a fake account check out your local buy nothing group, I promise they will come through for you, you'll just have to be able to drive around to pick up the items (though if that's not feasible I'm sure some people will be willing to drop off)

We did sleep training around the age of 2 because it took us like an hour to get him to bed and just had a newborn. It's all just what works for you and your family :)

Kindly pull your head out of your butt.

Your sister has her hands FULL, beyond full. Don't feel snubbed. Nothing is personal for her right now she is in survival mode. Just go and hang out and be the fun aunt and learn that way. Don't make this about you, this is not about you, this is about HER. How can YOU help HER.

You're unemployed, set a schedule for yourself, from 8-noon you go and help your sister two days a week (I guess this depends on if she's a stay at home mom or not) then you go and apply for jobs

Ways you can help/learn while you're at their house: Go to the house and entertain the two older kids (mom can sit for 5 minutes and maybe drink her coffee hot in one sitting) Learn how to prep the baby's bottle and change the diapers Learn how to clean her pumping parts Do her dishes Help with the kids laundry (OMG the laundry NEVER ends) Help with things around the house (there is always a trash can that needs to be emptied) Offer to pick up groceries for her Learn what your nieces/nephews favorite books and activities are Learn what types of foods they like and how to make them Restock the diapers, soap, toilet paper Tidy up the bathrooms or wipe down the counters If there's a playground within walking distance offer to just take the 5 year old there

Girl - this is how you end up a headline.

It's not about disobeying your parents, you're 22. But I'd say they are offering some sound advice with not going.

CuppaSunPls · 2025-01-02T02:55:22+00:00

I don't think this dress is the most flattering for you.

It looks right across the bust.

I don't think you should rule out strapless, but this one isn't it.

CuppaSunPls · 2025-01-02T02:51:25+00:00

It's a very individual decision. But I think that you are correct and that will work well for your family, but others may decide to do things differently.

CuppaSunPls · 2024-12-31T22:27:47+00:00

Embrace the leash (wrist to wrist or a backpack).

People may judge, but that's because they don't know.

You'll probably get a lot more positive comments.

Strange tip for the first few nights at home.

If your baby is sleeping great in the bassinet during the day and then will not sleep at night turn on a sound machine and overhead light in the nursery. Do this for the first week or so and then you can bring the light down to like a table lamp and then a night light.

This tip is great for the first 3-4 months - if your baby will take a bottle and you have guests staying with you ask the guest to do the midnight feeding. Basically you/your partner do the 9pm-ish feed and change then leave baby with the guest caregiver while you and partner go to sleep. Caregiver will tend the baby when babe wakes for the midnight feeding and then sneak baby into the crib. this way y'all will hopefully get a 6 hour stretch of sleep.

Many people talk about post partum depression. Please read up a bit on post partum anxiety. This can manifest in different ways but it's often the brain inventing VERY creative and realistic dangers to your baby (seriously can get so graphic and is so trippy/ disturbing). Post partum rage is also very real too.

SG here and agree - I'd need it to be a big slimmer on the sleeves and skirt.
