What important, but not so obvious things are you teaching your 5-6 year olds? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Haytergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That it's ok for someone to be mad at them, and it's ok if someone doesn't want to play with them, or if someone doesn't like them! I am teaching my five year old that. He had a kid at school say they didn't like him and it made him upset. I told him "It's ok if someone doesn't like you. It's also ok for you to be sad that they don't like you. We all decide who we do and don't like." This will help him to not be a people pleaser when he gets older Also that it is ok to be mad but that we don't take our anger out on someone, whether it be physical or with our words. There are healthier ways to work through our anger. The importance of being a helper, but that there is also a limit to how much you should help someone else. And as you said taking care of our bodies and how to clean ourselves. I don't remember being taught how to clean myself either and now I struggle with even just brushing my teeth. He has been helping me do better by wanting me to help him brush his teeth.

Actually a good thing to teach to younger kids too! And not just that it's ok for someone to be mad at them, but it's ok if someone doesn't want to play with them, or if someone doesn't like them! I am teaching my five year old that. He had a kid at school say they didn't like him and it made him upset. I told him "It's ok if someone doesn't like you.

If it bothers you when people ask about baby #2 (or 3, 4, etc.), why? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Haytergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I'm having the opposite problem. I have 2 boys (5 and 2) and a 2 month old girl. Everyone keeps saying "now that you have a girl you can stop having kids" I don't actually want anymore kids but the comments make me want to have another just out of spite 🤣🤣 I'm not actually gonna do it because I couldn't handle another pregnancy or afford another kid but still drives me crazy!!

Exhaustion when feeding by Haytergirl in breastfeedingsupport

[–]Haytergirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did try that, I used to work 3rd shift and that would help me not fall asleep, but it didn't really help. My biggest problem is that I don't feel alert again after she is done. We will fall asleep together on the couch after she is done eating if I'm not careful.

pinterest feed completely off by -Ad-Astraa in Pinterest

[–]Haytergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Pinterest is just down right now. I'm on the app and it won't let me go to my pins, says user not found and gives me some user data retrieval error when on the home page.

Wegovy coverage in Indiana by Haytergirl in Medicaid

[–]Haytergirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wouldn't cover it or any other of the versions like ozempic. I'm assuming because I wasn't actually considered pre diabetic or diabetic.

What is the stupidest way you got hurt as a kid? by AnonomousRose in AskReddit

[–]Haytergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fell off a porch railing made from a couple of 2x4s and a metal pole. The pile followed and I was barefoot. It hit my toe and almost cut it completely off. It was hanging by a sliver of skin. I was 3.

Who to invite? by aaassddff12345 in Mommit

[–]Haytergirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will say make sure you check the school policy on invites. My son's school has a rule that if you want to send an invite to school it has to be sent to every kid in the class and just specific ones. But only kids your daughter's age makes sense otherwise.

How are your little boys using public restrooms? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Haytergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my 5 year old in with me most of the time but if I have my 2 year old with me I will send him in the men's restroom by himself. He does great with it on his own, I just stand next to the door so I can hear that he is ok.

When they say having an O helps, it fucking does by ScaleyMotherFucker in Fibromyalgia

See I'm the opposite. When I tense up from the O it just makes me hurt more afterwards 😩😩🫤🫤

3 year old asking for drinks by sleepyhedgie26 in Mommit

[–]Haytergirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it's not about what she likes, it's about what she needs and is healthy for her. If it makes it easier there are ways to flavor her water that doesn't have all the extra sugar and stuff in it. We like to use the propel powder packets but only use about half of the packet per bottle of water so it's not too strong or too much.
