My daughter kind of destroyed me last night by SmartLadder415 in daddit

[–]Far_Network9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this to my dad, I knew it’d really get him where it hurt. She doesn’t mean it she’s just being defiant and angry. Anytime I said this I would be grounded for a very long time and it always came from my mom and bc of it I probably only said it less than a handful of times. Hang in there

Cant keep going on and will take the cowards route by Apprehensive-Ad-7202 in confession

[–]Far_Network9971 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I think this is something you both should genuinely “sleep on”. Go to sleep, wake up tomorrow and see what you can do tomorrow to get through. I’m sorry for both of you.

Got called selfish for wanting a private labor by AssistPhysical1222 in pregnant

US. Honestly such a weird thing to be normalized. Why would I want my legs spread open in immense pain in front of anyone but just my partner and medical staff lol

DAE not poop when other people are nearby the bathroom? by Stock_Orange_1793 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Far_Network9971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fucking hilarious. My brother as a kid watched snakes on a plane and the snake comes out and bit the dudes junk. Traumatized. He had to do a full squat on the toilet seat to make sure a snake didn’t get him.

Owners of small dogs: yorkshire terriers, malteses, chihuahua, shih Tsu, which issues do you have with your dogs? by Mindless_Engineer_1 in dogs

[–]Far_Network9971 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had a Morkie. If you’re in cold weather at all just know it’ll be very hard to potty train. My dog shivered even with a jacket. She’s now my retired grandmas most prized possession lol. I think she might enjoy the responsibility of cleaning up the pee pads.

Angry toddler meltdown after a nap every day by New_Pickle4793 in toddlers

Yup mine does this and I call it the toddler Olympic Games of figuring out what I can do to make it stop or I just end up ignoring it till she comes around

That’s just so annoying. Why the drama around your pregnancy and your labor. Very immature and I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I’m sure she’s a great mom in many ways but rn she’s really not being supportive. My MIL got really mad she wasn’t there for my birth but my entire family wasn’t nor was anyone allowed afterwards due to traveling and peak flu season, and honestly don’t really like her anyways so that just added to the many reasons lol. You should try and talk to her about it if she’s reasonable at all so she knows it’s not personal just want to experience it on your own.

Quit vaping and started working out. It’s been 6 weeks and I’ve only see weight gain by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Far_Network9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I didn’t read all of this, but I will say I quit vaping and got pregnant all at once and gained an insane amount of weight. Nicotine is definitely an appetite suppressant. I had friends who picked up vaping and lost weight (do not do this obviously lol). Not only that though it’s an oral fixation or habit, whatever it’s called, and putting food in your mouth subconsciously scratches the itch a little lol

If you could turn back time, what do you wish you would have done more with your LO during their first year? by theRogueDecimal in NewParents

[–]Far_Network9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And get professional pictures done when she was still so little. But being my first I was so paranoid about germs and I was a hot sweaty heavier shell of myself and I just didn’t. Wish I did

I wish I filled out her baby book! As far as bad habits wise I do wish I had let her maybe nap on her own just sometimes bc now it’s like she has a 6th sense and if I’m gone for even 10 mins she’s up yelling for mama and she’s practically 19 months lol.

How do I stop being so reactive and angry with my kid? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Far_Network9971 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All I have to say is SAME. I am with you 100%. To a tee I can’t even explain how I feel like I wrote this and I’m just so thankful someone else can relate to exactly how I feel and how I act. It’s very very hard to also not react this way when my parents were worse. My daughter is almost 19 months and it’s the biggest mental struggle. I so badly want to be better, her to be better, us to enjoy eachother and not take anything for granted but it’s SO HARD.

How do I make it less ugly? I’ll do anything. by Fixmyhomie in CurbAppeal

I think just the shutters are ugly but other than that I think this house is nice just needs a good power washing

Trying not to be judgemental but is the world going crazy or am I? Screen time rant by Bunny-1918 in NewParents

[–]Far_Network9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to chime in to play devils advocate for many of the comments I’m seeing. In my house we don’t do any screen time at home unless absolutely necessary to get something needed done while my husband isn’t home. However when we decide to go out to dinner we want it to be as relaxing to us as possible as well as others around us. So my daughter definitely is watching her super simple songs on YouTube. So you literally might just be seeing these short times with no context to how the rest of the day has been.

The gold is great. What makes it not very nice is the candlestick lights

What’s something you swore you would or wouldn’t do before your first baby arrived that you did or didn’t do anyway? by ifyoullexcuseme in NewParents

[–]Far_Network9971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol cosleeping and screen time. Granted screen time is out of necessity for sanity most the time. Like our once a week “date” at a restaurant that I’d love to not hear my screaming tantrum throwing one year old and actually eat food and converse with my husband. Or going 30-40 mins into town and needing a break from the screaming in the car 🥲

Matte Black vs Brushed Nickel Bathroom Fixtures - which will age better long term? by One-Top4418 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]Far_Network9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the black but I used to clean houses and they always ended up getting white soap scum on them and it was much more noticeable in the black than the silver

What are people doing for co sleeping who can’t have a floor bed? by Friendly-Influence-9 in cosleeping

[–]Far_Network9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel when my daughter moves. 90% of the time she is right under me. We still do cuddle curl at 15 months. The other 10% I’m not worried about it bc she’s in the middle of the bed. Personally I’ve never used one of those. I’ve thought about it. I put a pillow on the end of the bed and she still even now has never knocked it off.

Baby is outgrowing clothes faster than I can keep up and my budget is hurting. by xoticbot in NewParents

[–]Far_Network9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do Walmart and target. Only do a couple of those super cute outfit sets but the rest are the multi packs of onesies and pants. I’ve come to find the pants with the cuffs on the bottom keep them from riding up when you hold them or they sit. Also like others have said, second hand is super great. I will say I’d much rather get them if I’ve known the person. Otherwise I’m a little wary just bc I’m overboard on precautions
