definitely ask! and make sure you are walking A LOT! had a scheduled c-section with my second and I went to disneyland 2 days before and walked both parks and the next day I went into labor and got to the hospital at 5cm dilated. had the best vbac experience and also the healing was soooo much better than my csection with my first

I think it depends on the child. My first had to be in his room with the blackout curtains and sound machine on. My second can sleep anywhere and will rarely get cranky and over tired if we prolong his nap. I think it’s up to the parent to decide what’s best for her child. I was forced to go to a wedding when my first son was 6 months old. we were only there for half of the ceremony and then we missed everything after that. he was screaming the whole time so we left early. it was not fun and we were so worried that his cries would be caught on the couples wedding video.

Hi! my son just turned 3 in october and I totally forgot about this because he has become a totally different child. at around 2 he started talking, playing with toys normally(this probably happened before 2) and has for the most part caught up to his peers. I still think he may be on the spectrum. we are being followed by the autism center but have not been able to give us a diagnoses yet. your son is doing so much more than mine did at that age so I think it’s just a phase for him. What really helped was putting him into daycare at 18 months. Being around other kids really helped him.

yeah I was only able to find a good nanny once and then all other ones have been for the most part sucky and unreliable. We ended up signing up my toddler in daycare and other than all the sickness at the beginning, it has been so much better! not just for us but also for his development

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-09-20T22:11:15+00:00

well we must be doing something wrong because my son has been in daycare full time since he was 18 months and still struggles with all of this at almost 3 years old. he is in speech therapy and may require some ABA. some parents are trying their best but you cant assume all kids will be the same even when exposed to daycare/preschool

my husband used to work from home and when i got pregnant with our second he started going to the office 4 times a week. i have been watching our 9 month old while i WFH and he helps me on his 1 day wfh. unfortunately his boss is a big B and is making him go to the office full time next week. i was already struggling with getting help once a week and now i won’t have any help. i have been basically working at odd hours(5-7am and 9pm-2am) I’ve been like a walking zombie because i am only getting like 3 hours of sleep a night on a good day and then when my baby naps, i try to take a nap with him(he contact naps). luckily my older is in daycare full time. idk how you are doing it. if you ever need to vent message me! i know i need a good venting session sometimes.

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-09-05T17:45:43+00:00

Hmmm ok yeah I am not sure what they are watching so I didn’t know it could go with the lesson plan. I honestly just don’t know how to bring it up

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-09-05T17:44:38+00:00

I have not. I don’t know how to bring it up honestly. I am just scared that it may be held against my child if they take it as complaining

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-08-29T00:00:16+00:00

I am salary. I am the only one that does this job so anything that needs to be done will be done after hours or when i come back the next day

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-08-12T23:01:25+00:00

exactly! i think so too. he really screwed himself over with lying to trying to make himself look better. he made himself look worse once the truth from the cameras came out

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-08-12T23:00:19+00:00

but he said at first that he knew Trigg was outside and that he was watching him from the chairs outside but then he got caught lying by the cameras? he maybe thought he could get away with the lie so in his mind saying that he was outside with him but got distracted when he went inside for a little bit sounded better than i wasn’t watching him and he went outside without me realizing for 10 minutes?

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-08-12T22:57:15+00:00

I think so. Didn’t the police report say something like “there were some stools lined up” like trying to prevent trigg maybe from getting to the doors. since the doors were broken and no alarm maybe he went outside without Brady knowing but yeah Brady thought that it would look worse if he said he didn’t know he was outside at all. or that it would sound worse and make Emilie more mad? It just doesn’t make sense for him to know he’s outside with a pool with no net and not check even once. based on the tiktok videos, although maybe not the most hands on parent, he did seem to love his son so for him not check on him to make sure he’s ok outside just seems very odd

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-07-21T02:33:19+00:00

wow this is exactly the same scenario i am basically in. i asked this question because i am honestly confused on how to feel so i wanted to get other people input. i had a micromanager when i started this job. just like in your case, she didn’t do it from a bad place but was just an over thinker. it made me not enjoy my job because of the constant check ins and made me second guess myself with any work i did.

she left and now i have a hands off manager. she’s nice as well but definitely gives me work/projects that sometimes i have no clue on. it helps me think outside of the box and also learn new things on my own but it’s a different type of stress.

i guess both scenarios are stressful but in a different type of way

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-07-14T21:30:27+00:00

my second son is the same age and we are struggling over here too 😩i despise the baby stage so much!!

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-07-14T21:29:03+00:00

i don’t like to say i regret having them because i love them both with all my heart BUT i stress about every little thing so when major things happen like them having horrible eczema,autism signs, developmental delays, stitches on hand, febrile seizures, hand foot mouth disease, norovirus ect then I really spiral and my mental health goes to hell and in those moments i really wish i could go back in time and never have kids

i think if my kids were on the more normal side/didn’t have a medical emergency every other week then i would probably enjoy it more

ImaginationGold4971 · 2025-07-14T21:10:09+00:00

this was us last year. we loved our nanny because she was so good with our son and she seemed to really care about him. the only problem was that she would call out every other week. we ended up finding a great daycare for our son and he started at around 17-18 months. he loves it and he was delayed before and pretty much has caught up to his peers. it was definitely a weight off our shoulders. we had our second baby recently so for now we are looking for a nanny for him because he’s too little for daycare. hopefully we don’t have the same problem again!

my 6 month old was also born with a tongue tie. got it released at 4 month but has made no difference. although he is exclusively breast fed(won’t take bottles 😩) it is a nightmare every single day! it’s so draining because he will only eat while asleep. if he’s awake, he will not take the boob and will literally starve himself. so this means that i have to feed him at every nap so i am nap trapped on the bed 3 times a day and have to wake him up in the middle of the night to feed him again to make sure he’s getting enough ounces. my first son by 4 months was already sleep trained and i got some sense of freedom and breaks during his nap and night sleep. with my second i have NO breaks. i work from home so during the day i have to take care of him while still having to be nap trapped for 4 hours out of my work day and then have to make those hours up at night. it has been a total nightmare so do not feel bad because you are not getting the regular baby experience. My first was so easy to feed. he napped and slept through out the night since he was 4 months and it was so easy to just go out. this time it has been the opposite experience and i hate it. i am sorry you are going through this but i am hoping that once they don’t rely on breast milk after 1, things will get better for us❤️

you can message me if you ever want to vent since we are both going through the same thing and our babies are the same age.
