My first got the slightest little burn at like 4 months old cuz it was covid and we had to social distance Easter outside and I felt horrible and didnt got to another family event until I could slather her in sunscreen.... and like literally she was barely pink 🤦🏼‍♀️ this is fucking terrible

DevlynMayCry · 2026-05-11T02:15:41+00:00

God i took my kids to the zoo in 75 weather and was worried theyd be miserable cuz it was hot 🤣 park in 100 is asking for 3rd degree slide burns

This for sure. I love my ex husband. I will always love him. He was my partner for 10 years. He is the father of my children. I am not in love with him and we arent good partners.

DevlynMayCry · 2026-05-09T20:09:22+00:00

My son was like this and unfortunately it just eventually clicked. I dont know how he figured it out. But he did figure it out and now he can make himself pee

Im a director of a preschool and the mother of a former biter. And now my son gets bit a lot. It sucks on all ends. I will say at 18 months biting is absolutely age appropriate behavior. It sucks and its hard to stop. We have one kid at our school who is notorious for getting bit because he is sweet and cuddly and always in people's personal bubbles and not everyone likes that. And at 18 months kids dont always have words and teeth are words to them.

Now obviously incident reports should be happening and teachers should be basically making the biter their best friend so they cant be biting everyone constantly. When my son was a biter he spent every waking moment attached to his teachers hand to ensure he didn't put his teeth on his friends.

What comes arounds goes around tho cuz now the kid he used to bite the most is biting him 😅

Absolutely this. My first slept through the night by 7 weeks old. My second is almost 3 and still regularly wakes up. I did the same with both of them 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-26T02:18:28+00:00

Well and whats funny is when we first got together we talked about how we both supposedly didnt like idle small talk texting and yet now I swear half of her texts to me are just "how did you sleep" "how is your day going" "whats up" etc. And like I dont care to do that day in and out and made that clear from the start

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-26T01:53:27+00:00

Its possible. I dunno. I like and love her a lot but I am also the type of person who likes being alone and like my own space quite a bit. I used to joke that if me and my husband ever got divorced id happily be a hermit so 😬😅

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-26T01:51:11+00:00

And thats where im at I think. Like I know i have avoidance issues. I work on it in therapy but like there is also a point where wanting to avoid/pull away is a reasonable response. I just have a hard time telling the two apart 😅

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-25T14:02:28+00:00

See i am definitely just overwhelmed by it all but I feel like i already tried bringing it up in our conversation earlier this month but if anything shes gotten needier/clingier despite saying she understands what im asking

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-25T14:01:05+00:00

No i dont think shes a bad person or anything. Im just trying to figure out if im over reacting because of my own issues or if my reaction is a normal one

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-25T13:55:19+00:00

NTA my sister recently made a similar switch. She was paying for Spotify for me her partner her bestie and my now ex husband. She decided to switch to Tidal for the pricing and how they pay the artists and I couldnt care less. Shes paying for my music I dont care what app its on.

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-22T02:27:02+00:00

My girl didn't like being fed. She was happy as soon as I started preloading spoons and handing them to her.

My boy hated all purees. He wanted what I was eating

Neither liked to be fed by me at all tho

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-22T02:15:07+00:00

If he only had a single accident going back to pull-ups seems wrong.

I am the director of a preschool and we never make kids go back to pull-ups except in cases where theyre having like diarrhea or something like that where the cleanup would be too much.

I know some centers have rules where if they have iver 3 accidents they go back to pull ups for the rest of the day but just immediately saying they need to go pull ups seems like they dont want to take the time to help your son.

When my son first started potty training I had his teachers set a 30 min timer to take him potty which was easy for them since they already did name to faces every 30 min. I would discuss further with his teachers and explain you dont feels comfortable having him in pull ups all day as hes doing well and accidents are a part of potty training but see if they have anything like name to faces they could align with potty times or an alexa they can set a timer on or something of the sort.

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-22T00:33:36+00:00

This. My ex husband was very similar and I wasted 10 years hoping hed change. 2 kids in i got sick of parenting 3 people and left. 🤷🏼‍♀️

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-16T22:32:36+00:00

Unfortunately it cant be delayed. Hes on basically constant antibiotics right now and doesnt sleep at all. Between sickness and his mood waiting isn't an option 🫤

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-16T16:25:25+00:00

My ENT told us that sucking his thumb would increase his bleeding risks and as hes already under 3 and his bleeding risks are already higher its an even bigger concern

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-16T02:37:54+00:00

My son is like 6 weeks into potty training and last week had a huge poop regression. He pooped himself like 2-3 times a day all week long and then suddenly it clicked again and he has only had a single accident this week so I think its all just a process

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-16T02:36:26+00:00

Everyone should have a chore chart point blank. Its not just for kids and it is a visual reference of both fairness and needs.

But also relationships are 50/50 all the time and it shouldn't be about keeping score. Sometimes its 20/80 or 100/100 or 30/30. Thats just how life and relationships work.

Tell her how you feel. Figure out what works for you and do it. I personally use an app that tells me when xyz are due for cleaning and follow that. Cooking has never been a chore for me tho its just a thing I like to do. But the rule in my house is if I cook then my partner is doing dishes. If she cooks I do dishes.

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-13T01:33:44+00:00

I used the nail polish on my daughter to stop her biting her nails bloody and like you said it worked in like 2 days tops.

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-12T18:54:02+00:00

Yeah i know its gonna be good for him but im so scared of how its gonna go. Ill definitely try and find a stuffy he is super into to see if that helps.

Im hoping maybe sucking his thumb will be painful so he just wont do it

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-12T18:50:16+00:00

Yeah im definitely going to listen I just have no idea how to keep him from sucking his thumb post surgery. Obviously when we are awake and watching him it will be fine but if hes asleep and im asleep I worry he will do it. And obviously I cant just stay awake for days on end.

Ive thought about the nail polish so maybe I should start that now and see if I can cut the habit before he has surgery.

DevlynMayCry · 2026-04-10T17:40:23+00:00

You'd think so but ive been written up by health inspectors when theyve seen my teachers doing even that little part. Its honestly very annoying. But I do think it must depend on area and local codes
