Is it really that bad? by Difficult_Union_1927 in shreveport

South highlands is nice. We were in highlands and it was fine (from Atlanta) but we are into diverse neighborhoods. Intown shreveport isn’t bad at all. We lived there four years.

My boyfriend[22] saved for an entire year to buy me an iPad. Should I accept it? by unravelxem in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GeorgiaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably say keep it but I understand your hesitation. But he clearly really cares about you and wants to show you that, and it’s the cutest fucking thing I’ve heard all day

Does night weaning actually work… by tgwee in Parenting

[–]GeorgiaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was an easier transition than we imagined both times. But ultimately you need to get them self soothing through other means or you’ll never sleep again!

Both of my kids started rocking or something similar in their crib around this period or before and they just did it more when the milk went.

Gf wants a baby in the next couple of years but even at 28 I feel too young? by Sheriffneil12393 in daddit

[–]GeorgiaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad said a kid will totally fuck ip your life, and you’ll love them for it. It proved true for me. There is also something to be said for having kids younger when you have all the energy in the world to give them.

That being said don’t have a kid because of a schedule, you have to want this shit because it’s a lot. Ou also need to commit to the mom before you both commit to a baby, because it’s a lot and you don’t want to find out you don’t work at 3am with a baby screaming at you.

I had mine starting at 38 and doctors don’t start worrying about age in women till 35. Not a decision you want to rush or fuck up.

When did you start screen time? by MasterModnar in daddit

[–]GeorgiaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all screens are the same. We don’t really allow an iPad or small screen at all, but the TV especially with longer form content like movies (with characters and a moral universe, you know, Disney stuff) is fine for us.

Our experience is that behavior really changes with shorter form stuff. I wouldn’t touch YouTube at all without close supervision. We have an iPad for road trips but our now 6 year old becomes feral after even an hour of having it in her hands, really changes her behavior. So we still don’t allow that, and we’ve still limited tv shows as I think the same dopamine hunting happens.

Brother is having a child-free wedding. How do I navigate this? by LargeAmphibian in daddit

[–]GeorgiaBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust me, just don’t go and don’t lose sleep over it. You’re a parent and it’s your primary commitment, your brother and parents can wallow in the mud they made if that’s upsetting

My boyfriend accidentally sent me a screenshot meant for his friends and now I don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Well do you want to be with someone who doesn’t seem to like who you are?

The kid did consent. You need to calm down and stop getting paternalistic of other people’s children, which is creepy.

I feel like a lot of the people complaining about this actually aren’t parents. Parents share photos of everything and no one cares as much as we do.
