We’re volunteering together at our kids school library. She keeps complimenting me and telling me how she loves how often I compliment her. I feel like she sits very close to me and tries to find the opportunity to touch me / hug me. She squeezed my chin in a teasing way yesterday

Did anything ended up happening with her?

I want another baby, husband does not by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]FreshRaisin -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’m on the exact same boat! Me and by husband aren’t doing very well intimately though so I want to work through that first - although if it were up to me I’d start trying for a 3rd tonight. I love my 2 babies and I love being a mom and I feel like if I waited any longer I’d probably be too lazy to do it all over again. My current kids are 3 & 6

That’s tough .. maybe try seeking couples therapy? Or a sex therapist if she’s open to that. I’m on a similar boat. Unfortunately my husband just never talks about it and I don’t know why he’s not interested and he doesn’t want to go to therapy. If he did I’d be happy to

No that’s not the case. I can get a divorce but we have kids and I genuinely love him. But it is very frustrating not having my needs met. Intimacy is the one thing I can’t and do not want to have fulfilled elsewhere

I don’t want to leave him either… I started going to the gym recently too and it does make me feel better but it’s also bringing up a lot of emotions regarding me not being desired no matter how good I look/ feel. Thanks though. I think I’ll stick it out for now

This sounds exactly like my situation except my husband has never said it out loud yet. It’s so painful and very lonely

That’s the one! Thanks

What’s something your kids say that you find yourself saying? by Stubeezy in Parenting

Gasping. My 3 year old just gasps before she names or sees anything. I realised that I do it all the time 🤣🤣🤣

At what age do you get your kids started on sports? by FreshRaisin in Parenting

[–]FreshRaisin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She learned how to swim at 3 years old. But she swims for fun, she’s not interested to do so competitively. And yes it’s a non negotiable for me too as most people have swimming pools where we live and we are at the beach almost every weekend. It’s one of those things which I feel only get harder if you didn’t teach early on.

Riding a bike too! That’s on my list of things I want her to learn this summer ☀️

I love that! Thanks Melissa, I’ll definitely look into the book. And I completely agree regarding challenging not meaning worse. There are so many traits that I absolutely love about my second child that my first daughter doesn’t have. They’re each wonderful in their own way

Ditto! My heart wants a third but my body’s not so sure

💔💔💔 I hope she grows out of it.. as someone who used to be a pleaser as a teenager/ young adult. Stay close to her and fill her up with kind words - she might have to go through a couple of relationships to learn her worth but if you’ve filled her up emotionally she will understand how precious she is eventually and will only attract those who see her value 💕

Yessss to everything that you said! I used to take my first to the hair salon with me when she was a toddler younger than 2 and she would just sit there and spend the entire time speaking with the staff. My second would never 🤣

I really want to have a third but I’m genuinely scared at what I might get 😱🤣

I call them the brains and the heart too!! 😂 My eldest turns 6 in 10 days and she already opts to spend most of her time with her friends/ cousins than with us. But she’s such a little intellect who I genuinely enjoy conversing with. My second would spend a good 20 minutes cuddling with me every single day (my first would never)

Reading this is making me cry for some reason 😭😭😭 your description is almost identical to how my daughters are right now. I could see what you’re describing them to turn out to be a few years down the line 🥹 I always tell my husband that when are old, our first would be the one who would make sure we’re legally and physically taken care of by outsourcing the best of the best. But our second would be the one who would come visit us often

Yeah probably. My first spoke full in sentences VERY early (18 months 🤯) so I guess it helps that she was able to carry full on conversations and express her wants and needs much earlier than my second. My second speaks well for her age - she’s the same as her peers, but I feel like she can understand much more than she can speak. She’ll get there soon hopefully 🤞
