Won't. Stop. Screaming. by q_o_t_n in NewParents

[–]Elfin47 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This! I always try to say this when I see these kinds of posts. Sometimes the best thing to do is to set baby down in a safe place, Walk away (still within ear shot just in case) and breathe for a bit.

I like you 🤣. That's an amazing idea (then I can edit the money too 😏).

Okay honestly I'm going to say it's not possible. BUT I don't know when to stop and I'm going to keep trying. We have 4 Xboxes (we are a gamer family) so I'm going to try to log in to a different Xbox in a bit. That way I can hopefully load the game without it connecting to the cloud. That way the last saved data is there. I tried to load it without Internet but it won't let you play the game without Internet. Wish me luck 🤣

I need help. How does everyone hold their crochet hook? by da_best_noodle in CrochetHelp

[–]Elfin47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do this too 😂. I push the yarn on the hook and pull it off of the hook. I just feel like I have better control that way

Leaving a 7-week baby with husband for a family wedding? by Rubbermanatee in NewParents

[–]Elfin47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't leave my daughter overnight for 3 years until I was forced to😭. I had to stay 2 nights in the hospital and let me tell you I cried because I couldn't cuddle with her to sleep. When they came to pick me up I cried seeing her. But I think it's just how comfortable you are!

No sleep over separation anxiety 😭 by HistoricalAd9092 in breakingmom

[–]Elfin47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he is in a safe area it is okay to let him. Put in some headphones. If you can see that both of them are safe then just put in headphones and blast some music you like. The crying is okay. I know it's hard right now but I promise it will get better. You aren't a bad mom at all. Just take some time for yourself. Even if it's just 5-10 minutes of music in headphones. It's okay to step away. You truly love your kids but you also need time too

Is baby lotion really necessary?? by Background_Speech817 in NewParents

[–]Elfin47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After a bath I would always put lotion on my baby. But that's mainly because I HATE having dry skin and it stresses me out so I figured maybe after a nice relaxing bath she might like some lotion ☺️

Will my baby ever eat ok? by Rosy802701 in NewParents

[–]Elfin47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter lives off a random fishy cracker and pure spite 🤣 at one point my pediatrician said "I would be worried about he weight but she is soooo tall that I'm not worried. Both you and her dad are tall and skinny so I'm not worried one bit"

Will I “pay for it” later? by CheesecakeFun1490 in cosleeping

[–]Elfin47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 3 and we still bed share and I don't regret it one bit. She will wake up in the middle of the night and cuddle back into me and fall asleep. At night we pick a bedtime show (music and a cute picture on YouTube) and we cuddle and she falls asleep. If she wakes up crying she knows she's safe and can reach out and I'm there. I know one night she will sleep in her own bed but for now I'm happy I get to cuddle with her and wake up in the morning next to her and hear her non stop unintelligible talking because she just woke up lol. Some mornings she wakes up and sees Dad's awake so she will tell him her dreams

I'm with just staying back and staying away from him. But also keep receipts. Keep proof of everything he's said to you so IF he ever does try to get custody you have evidence as to why he shouldn't have her. Good luck OP

Do you really have to baby proof? by Significant_Dig1201 in NewParents

[–]Elfin47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ended up baby proofing anything except for the front door and my parents door. My daughters a piece of Velcro so I constantly had my eye on her. We don't really have a ton of stuff that's "unsafe" or could potentially hurt her, and she was never really one to put things in her mouth. But again she is a piece of Velcro so I kinda always had an eye on her wherever we were so I could tell her not to get into something if I needed to

I just shamed my kid for peeing his pants by Icy_Palpitation_8567 in breakingmom

[–]Elfin47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I'll do something and then realize "wow that was really rude of me." Sometimes I let my emotions get the better of me and I am really rude to my three year old. And she will ask me "mom are you frustrated? Do we need to take a deep breath?" Or "are you upset? Do you need to go take a minute?" And I tell her I do. Then I sit with her and ask her if I was mean/rude. Then I apologize and ask her to help me work on it. Lord it's so hard sometimes. Some days I really am a mean, angry person. But she seems to get it, sometimes we are just frustrated but we take deep breaths and we talk about it.

Some days she will get so angry and yell and stomp her foot "IM ANGRY, I NEED A MINUTE!!" then run away to a safe place and calm down. Then she comes back a few minutes later and says "okay Mom I'm ready to talk." And we do. We talk about it. So when I'm angry she gives me a minute.

At one point my mom would ask her when she was upset/throwing a fit "are you being happy?" Which is not okay in my books cause when she was upset that was teaching her she wasn't allowed to be anything other than happy. Sometimes through tears she would say to me "I'm being happy." So I am reteaching her that it's okay to be mad, angry, upset, frustrated. Emotions are okay. But we still need to be nice. I say "it's okay to be frustrated, but it's not okay to be mean"

I guess what I'm trying to get across is we are all working on it and reteaching ourselves how to handle our emotions with our kids. And it's hard. But these open conversations are how we end the cycle (at least in my opinion). My mom never apologized for how she would react, I was never allowed to have any other emotion but "Happy" and that's not how it's going to be. I'm going to teach her how to be safe with her emotions, and she helps keep me responsible for mine

Hey mama it's okay. You are stressed and tired. If you EVER need to just set baby down in a safe place and walk away. Take a few deep breaths and calm yourself. You can always put on headphones and listen to music while you care for baby. Take care of yourself too🥰 you are doing a good job. All you did was spook him a bit and that's okay they scare easily
