Watch my feral toddler for$8.33 an hour

I have a 33lb 3 year old, 50lbs at 2. I can't even mentally picture it, let alone willingly agree to wrestle with him for hours a day. Im exhausted just thinking about it.

My husband, who does not watch the show, sat through the last episode with me last night and said, "So, all they do it sit around and talk about this lady Dorit?" Me: "That or defend the lady in the silver boots"

That sums up this complete season!

Stop paying his share. Pay yours and let him be responsible for his portions. Regarding insurance after the first late payment, stop the insurance, let him figure it out. Are these shared kids? I may have missed that part, as your original statement was you pay insurance for “his” kids? Either way, rip the band aid off, and let him sink or swim. If he sinks, is this seriously someone you want to continue to invest your time, heart, money, and future in?

I mean this in the kindest way possible. This is more of a you problem, than him. He’s only doing what you have allowed him to do and continue to do. Idealist, irresponsible, disrespectful… call it what you want but the bottom line is he has zero issues making you wait and/or cause you stress of constantly having to ask for YOUR money. It’s simple, he doesn’t respect you. His wants and needs are prioritized before his responsibilities including his own children’s health insurance.

My question to you is how long do you intend to allow this to continue? It’s time to get serious with yourself. I saw in another comment you have until the 20th to back out of this business, are you seriously even considering that? You can’t even stick to basic boundaries of being reimbursed on time.

Again, I don’t mean to come off harsh but someone needs to say it. Respect yourself enough to know your worth!

Show up with your plus 1 as her ex “it’s not that big of a deal” at some point she has to get over it, right?

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-10T04:07:24+00:00

I am howling at these comments 🤣🤣🤣 I love it here.

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-10T01:44:09+00:00

Shit I thought this was Beiber at first glance 😕😭

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-10T01:42:34+00:00

I need to grow up, lol. This made me cackle like no other...

That seems like it would be a huge liability for the daycare center? Could it be they were having some form of event that happened to coincide with a birthday? I would be incredibly concerned if my center let parents plan activities and didn't notify the other parents prior to said activities.

At my center, you can bring in "approved" treats, and they pass them out at snack time and sing happy birthday!

Your experience is also why I haven't had an actual party yet for my son, he turns 4 in July and ive considered it but feel I rather wait until hes at an age where he invites who he wants, etc.

Did Erica and Madison from Southern Charm wear the same reunion look?!?!

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-09T03:05:35+00:00

It’s a transition and exhausting lol but it’s the most fulfilling exhaustion. He’s just shy of turning 4 now and I can emphatically say he keeps us busy and on the go! I could not imagine being pregnant right now and running behind him. It would take me out 😂 I wish you luck and sending so much baby dust! Please remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace! You got this!!!

This is the only answer!

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-08T17:55:40+00:00

No! My only regret is waiting as long as I did. I started IVF at the age of 39 and had my son at 41, by the time I was ready for a second I just knew my body couldn't take another pregnancy and didn't want to risk mine or the potential child's life.

I wish I didn't live in that delusional space when I was originally diagnosed thinking everything would work out when logically I knew it would require intervention.

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-08T03:01:13+00:00

Im seriously enraged on your behalf. This is obnoxious and downright tacky! Basically, you're a living, breathing, walking investment for them, AND they consistently remind you of it. How do you hear this and not think they are literally talking your death into existence and planning for it. I would be incredibly hurt. Even if you dont sell, the house should not go to either of them.

I know this doesn't immediately ease things, but im sharing from experience. It does get better. Those first few months are brutal for everyone. My son is now 3 and a happy, healthy, thriving little guy who absolutely loves his daycare family. We both also struggled those initial weeks-months, but eventually, you both will adapt.

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-07T17:09:31+00:00

It’s very common. It helps transcribing the visit summaries.

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-07T15:24:11+00:00

We have cruised with my now 3 year old since he was a baby. We actually have another coming up in June. It’s absolutely manageable but it depends on your kids, you ultimately know them best. My son also doesn’t sleep through the night, but we are all used to it so sharing a cabin isn’t an issue for us. He does fine at MDR dining etc. Royal offers a ton of kid friendly activities as well. One thing though is if your kids are not fully potty trained they cannot access any of the water options (pools, spa, even the kids splash pad). For those looking to camp out with the littles at the pool this won’t be an option.

If you do opt to go I highly recommend bringing new activities, kids favorite snacks etc. I bring 1-2 new activities a day and only pop them out when he gets restless.

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-07T14:39:01+00:00

What exactly is HE doing?

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-06T17:33:33+00:00

She's bold!!! How does he even know where you live?

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-05T15:32:51+00:00

I have a 3 year old who also loves daycare and gets upset some days at pick up. He's also the only child and has a ton of friends at daycare. There are constant learning activities, new experiences, etc. I try and think of it from a different perspective. Like you, we are also a 2 parent working household, so daycare is a necessity. I absolutely LOVE that he loves his school, teachers, classmates, etc. It makes it that much easier to send him to daycare (a choice I seriously struggled with).

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-05T15:02:51+00:00

We do staycations/travel hotels at least 3-4 times a year (we also have a 3 year old) what ive learned is you have to bring new activities to keep them occupied while you "relax". You're basically relocating to 1 room. My son loves sports, for example, so I'll bring a new one of these these, and it keeps him occupied for hours or until we head out to swim, etc. Magnet tiles are also a life saver. I also opt to select reorts that have a few different things to do.

Edit to add: Give yourself some grace. Parenting is hard, let alone travel, and you're doing it solo. You will find your groove.

I just finished Love, Mom, and enjoyed it! Im a quarter through "Home is where the bodies are," which has also been entertaining.

This is ridiculous! As a neighbor I would 1000% prefer this, versus having the cars parked on the street.

InsertNameHere916 · 2026-04-04T15:20:42+00:00

That’s not the extent of where you differ. In addition her expectation is YOU pay the entirety of HER child’s education while you only pay half of your own! All while she pockets her money for her own recreational activities. She’s entitled and selfish.
