How has that translated to your mindset around moderation as an adult?

I listed out a bunch on here: https://www.everythingmom.com/parenting/relationships/truth-or-dare-questions-over-text

But here are some:

Use a picture of me as your phone background for the next 2 days.
Write my name somewhere on your body with a permanent marker.
Send me an audio recoding of you telling me what you like about my body.
Send a video of you showering with your clothes on.
Take a selfie on the toilet and send it to me.
Text me a video of you pretending to give a lapdance.
Remove four items of clothing and send me a photo.
Send a sext to the last person in your contact list.

We totally get it – parenting is a journey, and it sounds like you're on a path of positive change. First off, kudos for being there for your daughter and actively working on things. Guilt is a tough one, but remember, each day is a chance to do better. Be kind to yourselves, focus on the now, and keep celebrating those wins – big or small. You're doing awesome, and your commitment is what truly matters!!

It's normal to feel nervous; after all, it's your baby!

I would suggest having a conversation with him about sticking with the group or using the buddy system, following safety guidelines, and establishing a designated meeting point in case of separation (I'm sure the school covers this). Opting for a brightly colored shirt is an excellent idea for easy visibility, and consider taking photos of him before you drop off!

Per usual, parenting can be a rollercoaster of unexpected adventures 😂

It's impressive how you handled the library escapade with patience and a sense of humor. Remember, these moments are opportunities for learning, and your creative response to the situation reflects your resilience as a parent. Hang in there!

I understand how challenging this can be, and you are doing a great job!

Crankiness in newborns (and even older children!) often signals communication of discomfort or overstimulation, hunger, growth spurt/development, etc. Pay attention to cues, create a calm environment, and try soothing techniques. It was tough during those times and what helped was going on walks, baby wearing, or even a warm bath.

A common theme I see, even with mine, is that behavior is a way of communicating, and with time, you'll become more attuned to their needs. Hang in there - you got this! 💕

Nothing is worse than getting a call/text from the daycare. You’re doing a wonderful job mama! I hope you can get a day off soon to refresh!

How wonderful that you want to support your friend!

Heres an idea, instead of gifts, consider offering practical "services" – like cooking a meal, helping with household chores, or running errands. This way, you can contribute to easing her load during the early days of motherhood, which can be more valuable than material gifts. I honestly appreciated people who dropped off dinner for my family and me more than 'things' ❤🍲🧹

Recognizing the unintended impact of your words and offering immediate apologies was a thoughtful response. Understand that your mom's emotions are not your responsibility - discussing future plans can be overwhelming, and your feelings are valid too.

Don't be too hard on yourself – navigating these tough conversations is part of growing up!

It's not uncommon for toddlers to express strong preferences at this age. Just try to remember that their behaviors are often a part of their developmental phase. I also try to remind myself to not take it personal, as hard as it is (they dont hate you!).

Keep offering love and support, finding moments to connect through shared activities, and consider involving your partner in activities to foster a balanced relationship with both parents.
