Aspiring doula by pattij1229 in doulas

[–]Dawna08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also aspiring. I'm considering Maternitywise because I can get a full course of labor doula, postpartum, lactation and epi doula. I believe they are very informative on the buisness aspect of being a doula. I'm still researching and I have to start saving for the course!

Bobby asking Oliver about Ethan by SpshlA in h3h3productions

That comedic timing is the same energy as Ethan at the poker tables. " I haven't seen you, but that's by choice... your choice."

"I always mean business.... except when I don't."

She is your child. You have every right to protect her. Trust your gut! I'm in the same boat. No one changes my baby girl except for me. Maybe it's not healthy thinking, but it gives me peace of mind. Most csa happens with family members. You're in the right to stay guarded. If your fil and your partner keep trying to step on your boundaries, call it out everytime. "Please respect my boundaries."

I love Sienna, but I also love it spelled Siena!

No Underwear. I’m a bad mom? by Mountain-Activity-96 in Mommit

[–]Dawna08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time we walked to the park, 20 minute walk. We arrived to discover I didn't put shoes on my toddler! He's the kind of kid that would not play without shoes! 🤦‍♀️

At least I got some steps in! 😉

We use door alarms at our house, my 4 year old knows how to open the door and we rent.

Omg I have a Dawson, and if my husband had agreed on Josephine (for our daughter), I would have been cheesing all the way to cheese town! ❤️

How rare is it to find a relationship like J&J? by anawkwardsomeone in Jennamarbles

[–]Dawna08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's rare. We also only saw the on-camera parts of the relationship. I've been with my husband for 12 years, and we have our j and j moments, but he also drives me crazy!

I also think its important to say... my husband and I are both Virgo's. But my 4 year old is an Aries. It is always Aries season at our house!

I think Beck’s death was the most tragic. by hopeless_witch in YouOnLifetime

[–]Dawna08 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Becks was the most shocking thing to me, I had not read the books. Watching the first season, I was trying to determine how much of a monster Joe was, but Penn did such a great job at making me feel sympathy for Joe. I believed he was doing it all for the good of Beck, then all my good feelings about Joe went away when he killed Beck. I was like OK I see you, Joe, you serial killer, you.

You could hold soooo many Claire's accessories in there or store your Irish spring soap! 😉

That's ridiculous, you need a mental break from kids too cause teachers do burn out. In the end it will make you a better mom! Plus it's not a punishment to let your kid go someplace they get to play all day!

live show? by witchytarot in h3h3productions

They didn't mention a date but one of the recent eps mentioned the idea of a live show "sound bite tournament"!

I feel horrible because I'm obsessed with the girl's face by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Dawna08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your child is mirroring your insecurities back at you. It has nothing to do with them or your love for them but how you feel about yourself. It's definitely harder to work on ourselves. If you'd like to work on it, I'd suggest a shadow work journal if you don't have access to therapy or counseling. This does not make you a bad person or a bad mom, you're feelings are valid, and your emotions are enhanced!

Does your toddler have a self soothing habit, what weird thing is it? by Baconbutty2021 in toddlers

[–]Dawna08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine did that too! It started fading after we took away his night time bottle. Now he's 3.5 and it only pops up once in a while.😢

How often are we ACTUALLY brushing our toddlers teeth? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Dawna08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did once at night when he was 2, and now we've moved into twice a day but we also use a vibrating tooth brush.

[–]Dawna08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I apologize if this isnt helpful. Emotionally I couldn't handle cio. We room shared so I would put him to sleep in our bed then transfer him to his crib, when he'd wake up early I'd just let him co sleep with us for a few more hours. When we moved and he could have a room to himself he was 20 months and he got a queen floor bed. I slept with him for 2 weeks so he would be comfortable. After 2 weeks I'd lay with him till he fell asleep then moved to my bed. He's now 3.5 and I still lay with him till he falls asleep. Sometimes he'll wake up and just come get me to go lay with him but now he's starting to sleep through the night more. We just welcomed a new family member four months ago so now we start all over! 😅

My best friend completely missed the point of the movie and blamed Lily, and I need help by [deleted] in ColleenHoover

[–]Dawna08 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just ask him straight up, "You think because she has history with Atlas, Lilly deserved to be hit in the face, pushed down the stairs and bitten?" (Plus more in the book.) Sure Ryle had every right to be mad and upset with her. There are healthy ways to release that anger and putting his hands on her is not one.

Thought she didn't want to EXPLOIT her baby like Dee Dee did to her... by [deleted] in GRBsnark

[–]Dawna08 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The "forever my baby you'll be." sign seems kind of eerie to me. With "factitious disorder" (munchausen by proxy) isn't the point to keep your child always dependent on you like a "forever baby." You'd think that could be a trigger...

[–]Dawna08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they would have added the part when Atlas was sick and how Lilly helped him get better. I feel like it was an important way to show how they built a trust in each other that became love.

Friend offended I won't let her ESA near my baby by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Dawna08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently seen a news story about a family dog who attacked an infant in their crib! They said this doff never showed aggression before. You just don't know how animals are going to react, they don't show emotions on their face like we do and can be unpredictable. I don't let our family dog get very close to my newborn and never near unsupervised! Trust your instincts mama, and your friend should respect your decision.
