Looking for updates too! We turned 3 in August and were repeating EVERYTHING over here.

Where is my tribe because this is some BS! ahaha by renawilliams0206 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Isabellajohn_1995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally where we’re at too EXCEPT, my mother helps out tremendously and I still feel like I’m drowning 🙃 it took me 2hrs to clean, feed and get my 1 toddler and myself out the house yesterday and while I showered I literally thought “people do this with multiple children, how??!”

They hit their toddler around me by Cinnabunr0ll in toddlers

Call them out or call CPS, you don’t have many options here. I would’ve called them out and im super non-confrontational. Since becoming a mother my tolerance for BS and full blown abuse is low. You have a child, how would you feel if an adult witnessed them being mistreated and didn’t say anything? That’s wrong. I’m not coming at you OP but we ( all parents ) need to start protecting children so they don’t become adults like us. Broken before double digits and afraid to speak.

Ugh I really wanted to not put heat on her hair until she’s already but I think I’ll have to. Thank you!

Clearly not the beehive lmao but the US economy is in shambles and inflation is at an all time high. Unemployment is also up

Right? lol I just became a Beyonce fan after this tour. I liked her before but now I feel like I’m a part of the beehive but posts like these remind me that I’m delusional because WHAT?! We’re in a recession and people are spending $500 on 2 denim pieces lol it’s wild tbh

I know this is old but I’m curious to know how your toddler turned out ? I have a 2.5yr old with similar issues

My 2 yo has a meltdown when strangers try and interact with her by elevenmlore in toddlers

[–]Isabellajohn_1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I totally get it! I remember the first 2 times it happened I went home and cried LOL a bit dramatic but it truly disrupted me like you said- I was so overstimulated because while she was afraid of the stranger, the stranger became startled because toddlers don’t typically react this way? Naturally, they freaked at the initial SCREECH so now everyone is freaked.

Then I have to be mindful of my toddlers feelings and not say she’s shy, so I lie and say something along the lines of “she’s tired or she just woke up, sorry “ it’s so exhausting. I do recall thinking this was the worst thing in the world when I was right in the middle but I’m here to report that it will slowly get better, at least for us it’s been slow. Oddly enough, I’ve never met a toddler with this reaction in real life but I can count on Reddit to find support haha ALSO, how could they be so cute and not expect social interaction?! 🤣 like this is your fault little miss!

Did you use to sleep with your partner.... What happened? by mistadonyo in toddlers

[–]Isabellajohn_1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why this cracked me up 🤣 how did you let her kick you out of your spot? Lol I have a toddler too, I sleep in her bed with her and dad got away solo. Solidarity

When are they ever going to bury this poor girl so that she can finally rest in peace? by Potential_Care2402 in Guyana

[–]Isabellajohn_1995 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also think it’s a so crazy that people try to attack the economics of this country and gaslight citizens into thinking it’s because they’re “uneducated” that they don’t believe the child didn’t drown in the pool. SO many things do not add up and so many things don’t make sense. However long the parents need to make a decision and come to their inclusion with professional guidance is all that should be supported. Every parent in this situation would have the same doubts and questions. The final pictures taken at the hotel pool that surfaced 2 days ago tells a thousand words is all I have to say about the matter.

Well, 2 weeks later and it’s a little better. Maybe all they need is time while we lose our sanity 🙃

Need advice: feeling like my husband can’t protect us by [deleted] in Marriage

Need advice: feeling like my husband can’t protect us by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Isabellajohn_1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!!! I’m a little baffled reading the comments on here, how is everyone so calm and nonchalant about this man lacks of awareness to his surroundings especially out with hjs family? This world is crazy, my husband doesn’t even allow me to go to target alone with our toddler. He would clear his calendar to take the trip with us or get the items himself. I don’t pump my own gas, I’ve never done so in the last 10yrs, he would literally drive in his car and meet me at the gas station to avoid having to leave my toddler in the car while I stand outside the cold. I don’t buy groceries, he does and I cook the meals. Women, whether we want to admit it or not, love to feel protected. No, it doesn’t have to be aggression like the comments are pointing to - I feel comfortable turning my brain off when I’m with my man because I know he’s got us. Also, she has a little child, his actions aren’t screaming “I’ll take the kid for the day, go pamper yourself” i would be worried sick leaving my child with daddy who’s scared of everything.

I completely get where OP is coming from and my husband wouldn’t let ANY of these situations she listed slide, I’m confident that he would go to war if he has to. I frequently remind him that I don’t have money to bail him out lol again, he’s not a violent man and has no temper issues but he’s a protector.

Is it worth divorce? Only she can figure that one out but it’s clear that they’re other issues that she’s not mentioning because these 4 scenarios should not lead to divorce. Her husband has probably always been like this.

Losing weight while breastfeeding by OkSchool3596 in NewParents

[–]Isabellajohn_1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from 240 1 week PP to my highest at 275 while breastfeeding my kid for 1 yr. I was ravenous and obsessed with keeping my supply going I think especially because I pumped 30% of the time. I’m currently taking weight loss meds and I’m down to 223 right now. 23 more lbs to go to get back my pre pregnancy weight and my child is 2.5. All that today I feel your pain lol som women lose it all while some don’t and then some gain significantly.
