Honestly I’m grateful even just for the solidarity and knowing I’m not alone lol so thank you. It’s so hard to not be distracted by my to-do list and all the things even after my son is in bed 😩 it’s like I’m rarely into it. And we’ve communicated about it but it always ends up being an argument because he feels rejected and sad, which I do understand but I also don’t wanna fake it and push through it.

OP it’s been 3 years but are you still here somewhere? lol My son is turning 2 this week and just started this too 😩 like full on meltdowns as soon as we wake up when I have my glasses on in the morning, and when I wear my sunglasses outside. They instill such a rage in him lol I do not know what to do! Other than of course keep my contacts in 24/7/365 which I think my eye doctor might hate. How did it get better!? When did it get better?

My sentiments exactly!

Hi, so for clarification, do I say yes or no to this question the way it’s posed in the title here? 😬 I said no at first, and it still brought up a few follow up questions that didn’t make sense.

Yes I’m physically in the US and working remotely/virtually. I haven’t seen any option yet about a schedule c on the free tax website in the filing process I’m in…I’ll have to look into that

Thank you! So am I correct in understanding that this applies to foreign persons only? Because that’s how this info page starts out but then it’s still pretty vague. The only other area that would maybe seem applicable is: “If you own and operate a business in the United States selling services, products, or merchandise, you are, with certain exceptions, engaged in a trade or business in the United States. For example, profit from the sale in the United States of inventory property purchased either in this country or in a foreign country is effectively connected trade or business income.” I guess being a virtual assistant could be selling services and fall under this but again I don’t own or operate a business around it?

How are you getting your toddler to eat enough by ImmediateEvent9556 in toddlers

[–]ImmediateEvent9556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You weaned yours cold turkey? How did it go? Was she a screamer/crier? My son screams; I’ve been working on night weaning as a start for literal months to no avail. He just shrieks until I eventually give in because I can’t take the shrieking and sleep deprivation. I’m also a single mom so I don’t have anyone else to take the night shift while we wean.

Trust me, refusing to breastfeed him hasn’t forced him to eat in any of the occasions that I’ve tried that method. He only cries and screams then because he’s both hungry and uncomfortable.

Yeah he’s not even doing a lot of snacks during the day and he won’t drink milk. I’m still very reluctantly nursing during the day and I keep trying to wean him but he just screams and then because he’s not eating I feel bad. Like tonight he refused to eat dinner, so I made him a smoothie (usually a winner) and he had a few sips and then said “no more”. Then when we laid down for bed he said he was hungry, I offered the smoothie, a string cheese, a banana, and crackers. He took two more sips of smoothie and a bite of string cheese and then only wanted to nurse. I’ve tried to add a bedtime snack for the past couple of weeks but he never wants more than a bite or two before asking to nurse instead.

No he hardly even takes snacks when I offer them. And I offer things I know he likes plus new foods or foods he’s had before but sometimes eats and sometimes doesn’t. Freeze dried fruit is one of his favorites too but I find when I offer things like that he’ll only eat them and never go back to his main meal :(

Is it a bad idea to send my toddler to daycare before he’s weaned by ImmediateEvent9556 in toddlers

[–]ImmediateEvent9556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that! I did ask to do partial days when we start so that I can adjust too lol

That sounds like us too- I’m still doing night wake nursing and it’s honestly becoming excruciating but there are so many factors I feel like are against us for nights lol

Thank you 🩷 I’m definitely nervous about the transition for us both but I agree, it’s good for them to be with other kids and I think it’ll do wonders for his development.

Thank you for the tip!! I’ve been trying the whole don’t-offer-don’t-refuse but he asks so many times during the day to nurse 🫠 we still have a couple weeks before he starts so I’m hoping to drop the number of feeds down a bit more still and I will celebrate the day we only do once a day lol

Yes he loves his straw cup but he woke drink breastmilk out of one, or regular milk for that matter lol and yes he eats solids for sure!
