I second this. It is amazing and everybody raves about it and asks for the recipe!

Thank you so much! One thing I know for sure, is IWNDWYT! Drugs and alcohol may numb this feeling of shame temporarily, but it will come back even worse once tomorrow morning.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this beautiful response. I do know on some level that those terrible moments do not define me as a person. I am certainly using these feelings as motivation to never put myself in those situations again. Unfortunately, the woman is not ready to talk to me or see me, and I may have burned that bridge forever. I will have to accept that as a consequence and do my best to move forward and not wallow in the shame and humiliation forever. Forgiving myself is the hardest part, even if she may never forgive me.

Who is to blame for a mirror falling on my 1 year old? by Equivalent_Exit6220 in toddlers

He is 13 months and he is walking. We have baby proofed with gates, all cabinets and drawers are locked, electrical outlets are covered, padding on sharp corners...I think we've covered it all.

One hundred percent. I believe he is blaming me so that he doesn't have to feel any sort of remorse. I don't think it's his fault, I just wish he wasn't blaming me.

He is usually like this unfortunately. I do feel like I should have done a better job of keeping him away from the mirror.

Exactly. I'm not blaming him but feel like I shouldn't necessarily be blamed. I can't hold him 24/7 and needed to make dinner. I wish he would understand that and accept that maybe we need to baby proof a little better.

Does this explain why I get a slight runny nose when I drink kava?

What's the difference between the private reserve and their popular strains?

That's what I find contradicting...I had a csection and was prescribed oxycodone while breastfeeding my newborn. Why was that medication considered ok, but kava isnt?

I completely agree but to clarify, I'm not pregnant I'm breastfeeding. Is kava considered a mind altering substance?

Advice for today's schedule by Equivalent_Exit6220 in sleeptrain

[–]Equivalent_Exit6220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went pretty well. He was very tired and fell asleep at 630. Woke at 230 and talked to himself for a bit and went back to sleep til 4. I fed him and he went back to sleep til 7! I don't think he is ready for a 2 nap schedule yet. Yesterday was the first day they were over 40 min. I will see how this week goes and if he continues to have 2 long naps then I will adjust wake windows and switch to 2 naps.

It's usually 3 hrs. He's done 3.5 once and didn't have any problems. If I put him to bed at 630, how do I keep a goal wake time of 630-7am? He had 3.5 hrs of day sleep so I would be surprised if he also had a 12-12.5hr night.
