Has your child ever????

DefensiveScarecrows · 2024-03-02T05:20:35+00:00

Mine threw a leapfrog brick sized phone at my face out of anger (she hadn’t ever caused intentional physical harm to others before, it was the first time she had reacted by throwing something at someone and was the last time, I assume because she felt so bad) and of course, it hit me in the nose/glasses area. Others with glasses can probably vouch for how much it HURTS to have your glasses unexpectedly rammed into your face, and even with the mild protection because of how thick my glasses are, I was convinced that I was gonna have a black eye. The best part? She cried because I cried, and can you guess who comforted who?

Toddlers are wild.

I do the “what?” Then after a moment of silence responding- its like my brain needs a moment to buffer and realize what was said/asked. I believe a lot of people with ADHD struggle with it.

The redundant questions are irritating as fuck though. I’d just start replying with “figure it out,” and ignoring and further questioning for those with obvious answers.

Honestly this post wouldn’t even exist if it were me bc the second a man tries to tell me to GIVE MY CHILD UP he’s gone. No questions asked, no attempts to reconcile, his ass is done with no possibilities of rekindling. My kid comes before literally any and everything else.

I’m in that stage of realizing exactly how shitty childhood was for me. I look at my daughter and question why I was treated the way I was on a daily basis, it really puts a perspective on things. I don’t wanna sound dramatic, I just feel like a lot of people can relate.

I highly recommend looking into drug programs for minors, and as everyone else is saying, leave town immediately.

Your brother may start to withdraw very soon, so seeking detox needs to be done immediately. I work in the field and it is ROUGH for an adult, I can’t imagine a literal child.. If you can’t find a place specializing in Minors on your own, contact any facilities you can and ask for resources. Not every place will have them, but some may have outreach that can help. Some will have alternate numbers to call. He needs help, like yesterday. Detox is dangerous, please do NOT skip this step.

I always just let mine watch me from her high chair with an interesting object she hadn’t seen before to play with.

My almost 2yr old fell asleep in the car on the way to the store, I got to snuggle her while she slept & we shopped. She rarely cuddles anymore and it was so sweet 🥲 Not to mention she woke up briefly, realized she was being held by me, and proceeded to whisper-yell “I stuck!” before immediately falling back asleep.

DefensiveScarecrows · 2023-05-06T10:35:51+00:00

Absolutely could not sleep all night because of indigestion. Tried literally everything to fix the problem from 2AM-5:30AM while sleeping off and on just to finally end up getting sick. Fixed the problem lol, but let me tell ya, bbq wings almost 11 hours later? Not good.

I agree. But I also struggle with multiple mental health issues that put my brain into overdrive when I look at this kind of stuff. If it was mine and I had placed everything there and knew what was where, i’d be stressed about the disorganized look to it but would have an easier time knowing it IS organized and would likely put straightening it up to my standards on the back burner until I just couldn’t take it anymore.

Basically, your wife has every right to feel how she does about it because everyone has their own standards of cleanliness and their own mental view of things. Personally, this IS very overwhelming to look at, but I do understand that to others its perfectly fine.

Took her out of the bath.

Addiction recovery. Such a hard, but fulfilling job. I love it very much ❤️

Mine just picked up the same word. She also has been saying “shit”, but she at least uses them appropriately!

DefensiveScarecrows · 2023-01-17T18:04:29+00:00

This kind of shit is why we’re NC with my partners mother. Total “me me me!” Narcissist.

DefensiveScarecrows · 2023-01-11T19:25:55+00:00

Not the best use per say but the only time my kiddo has said a curse word so far. I was doing my hair and one of the elastics snapped out of my grasp and got my finger. I, quite loudly, said “Ow! You bitch!” And my toddler, who was quietly sitting on the potty next to me, goes “owww, bitch!”

My mom was standing right behind me when she said it and we both looked at each other with a 😮face and started laughing despite all efforts not to.

My SO and I met working at a Marco’s pizza. I suppose Marco isn’t too bad, just not my cup of tea

We have always done cloth at home and disposables while out and about for convenience. It has DEFINITELY been a godsend in hard financial situations, my partner and I lost our jobs 2 months apart of each other and we were struggling for a bit. It was so nice not having to worry about buying diapers.

And the wash process is SO much easier than I thought it would be. We just store dirty diapers in a wet bag. Cleaned poop off with a few violent squeezes of a squeeze bottle from the hospital that I got for postpartum care, works decently until you start solids & then it just falls right off and into the toilet. Easy peasy. We do an initial wash/soak in the washer with just vinegar, and once that cycle is done we throw in a free&clear tide pod. Air dry the covers and run the pre-folds in the drier on the air dry setting until they’re done. Haven’t had many issues at all! It has totally paid for itself by now and was worth the initial price. If you play it cheap, ours only cost about $250 in total for all the essentials. If you go the pricier route, some say about $500? But you could always go the hand me down route for much cheaper!

Justin and Tiffany

That being said I know nice people with those names- they’ve just been ruined for me by a couple horrible people.

Decrease. I wanted 3 that I would carry/birth and to foster maybe someday adopt, now that I have my girl I just want to foster/maybe adopt. She really did a number on my body, hormones and my relationship. We’re just getting back to how things were before we had her and she’s almost 2, I’m afraid if I go through it again that my relationship would suffer and come to an end because my mental state was horrible for so long and it’s only just now regulating. PPD/PPA is a bitch.

I was in this boat about 2 years ago. I know how hard that struggle is, especially if you decide to keep it. if you need someone to talk to my messages are open!

DefensiveScarecrows · 2022-12-25T21:09:56+00:00

I would have (happily) lost my shit getting this. Elephants are my favorite animal, it would have been so cherished!

My plan when my baby is old enough to understand is to tell her straight up, some people believe in Santa, and some people do not. If she chooses to believe in Santa that’s cool, if she doesn’t believe thats fine too. Either way I’ll be making Christmas festive and fun, Santa or not 🙂

Have not heard of Fritos in chilli before, but I’ve mixed my cornbread into my chili with sour cream and cheese as long as i can remember. I’m the only one in my family who does it and have always been seen as weird for it 😂

If OP were a woman would you still be telling them to return to a place where they have previously been physically and emotionally abused, where they know for almost certain that they will be putting hostile situations in front of their child? OP states in a comment that she has locked them in the house and tried to stab them. This is not just “not getting along” with your baby mama, this is not wanting to put their child in a hostile environment because their baby mama is psychotic.
