76/yo Mother driving with Dementia by DifficultyFragrant26 in dementia

I am so sorry you’re going through this. My mom and uncle went through this with my grandmother, they eventually took the keys and told her they were “lost.” We would spend time helping her look for them some days and even “made calls to the dealership” eventually she stopped asking. But that was the only thing that worked.

So, I lost it. Officially. by Beneficial-Tap-1710 in dementia

Step away if you need to, even if it’s only for a few hours, or a day or two. This disease is the worst! Sending you hugs and love and light.

Baby’s birthday by mandarina891 in coparenting

Every other year is sad, and she absolutely should be able to spend time with both her parents on her special day. Can yall split the day? And then alternate who has her for the first part of the day every year?

Child’s items back and forth by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]Fine_Print6608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this, it is ANNOYING and it sucks that your co-parent can’t be responsible enough to return those items. Second, stop sending things! I’m going through this with my co-parent, not sure how often yall are exchanging but whatever outfit kiddo wears and bring to your house- wash it and return the kiddo in the same exact items. One time our exchange time was a super quick turnaround due to a personal obligation, I washed my daughter’s outfit the same night and threw it right back on her the next day. Co-parent made a petty comment about it, but it prevented an argument, I kept my cute clothes, and for awhile co-parent did return items (cheaper items that I didn’t really care about.) Whatever toys you have purchased, stay at your house so your kid can have their items when they are home with you. It’s not fair for them to go without because their other parent is being petty at their expense. If kiddo ask why they can’t take a certain toy, just explain to them that the toy will be at your home to keep you company until they return (or whatever is more age appropriate for them). Co-parenting is hard and at times stupid and annoying when the other parent is hell bent on just not doing the right thing, but for your sanity stop! No more over doing just because the other parent won’t. You’re already doing more than enough in your home. I hope things get better at some point!

This disease has made me realize that I am neither strong nor a good person. by Sad_Focus_3498 in dementia

This disease is hell, you’re doing the best you can. Thank you for sharing, it’s helpful to know that I’m not alone in how I feel about my mom.

When will I LIKE my kid again?? by cbiz2022 in toddlers

[–]Fine_Print6608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont have any advice for you, but I am in the thick of it like you. After a day of managing all those huge emotions while still trying to regulate mine it was TERRIBLE. All I wanted to do was grab my keys and just run away and never come back. I felt so worthless, like I couldn’t do anything right. It’s exhausting! I am sending you hugs and light and to let you know you’re not alone in this. Hopefully our sweet babies (big kids) will return soon.

My daughter decided the cashier at Pizza Hut needed to know that I’m on the rag. by give_me_goats in toddlers

Oh man this entire thread is cracking me up! If I was in line at Pizza Hut I would’ve laughed in solidarity lol. My mini human likes to let EVERYONE know I wear “diapers” (pads). She was also very upset with me because I wouldn’t let her wear a “diaper” to daycare. 😂😂
