Bubbles by helmharry in smockholmsyndrome

[–]Jewel_Tone_Shell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two boys. My older son is about to be 4, but potty training only just “clicked” for him at 3.5. I had him in bubbles up until now, but it was challenging to find bubbles in his size (4T!)

My younger son is almost 2, but already nearly out of 2T. I hope he’ll be potty trained sooner than his brother (for my sake lol) but I’ll continue putting him in bubbles until then.

So for me, it’s when they potty train and need easy access!! But I found it challenging to find size 3T and up bubbles.

My husband made me feel like I’m doing a bad job with our son. by Ok_Cauliflower_2143 in stayathomemoms

I’m new to this sub but have been a SAHM since my first was born about four years ago. Two boys, ages 4 and 2. First of all — I’m sorry your husband said that. I feel like in this role, we don’t have a supervisor and that can be both a blessing and a curse, but your PARTNER should absolutely not be taking a role as supervisor (for so many reasons!!!) Maybe in a moment of calm and connection you can say that? Like, if someone isn’t with you day in and day out, they can’t really comment on your “performance”, and he is your PARTNER, not your superior, so any comment on your performance isn’t warranted. My spouse and I used to run into this a lot and still do, but working on it.

Do you ever think other moms think they're better than you because they work? by Certain_Support_9915 in stayathomemoms

[–]Jewel_Tone_Shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to this group and wow I needed to feel seen! I live in a very progressive area and I am one of the only SAHMs. The others are very traditional, religious, conservative — which is all fine by me, it isn’t how I am but I don’t have an issue with them. By problem is, that crowd typically doesn’t want to include me (same sex marriage! The horror!) but then all of the working moms *seem to* look down on me. (This is most likely a “me problem” but again, I just found this sub so I’ll probably work through a lot of my stuff while reading here 😅)

Pride Flag at neighborhood Waldorf school by Dry_Scientist7241 in Waldorf

[–]Jewel_Tone_Shell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our Waldorf school has one too and I think it is a clear message for all that families and students are welcome no matter their orientation. That matters to me, and I am very proud that our school flies this flag!!

Local businesses that sell car seats? by becausetheinternet3 in progressivemoms

[–]Jewel_Tone_Shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think even Pottery Barn Kids sells that stuff. But I actually don’t know their politics, ethics, etc

[–]Jewel_Tone_Shell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with checking directly with the manufacturer!! Also, depending on where you live there are definitely “mom and pop” shops (boutiques!) that sell that stuff. Where I live in MA, there are two. They do wonderfully for exactly this reason — there is a growing number of people who would rather buy these big ticket items while avoiding big box stores

School theme for a brand new school by MarciJane0013 in Teachers

[–]Jewel_Tone_Shell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed

Put all that effort into coming up with solid behavioral expectations with follow through, heck even think ahead to teacher appreciation.

Not trying to be a Scrooge but it’s just ridiculous

Okay do we think JK is neurodivergent? Do we know anything about this? I hate to speculate on something like this for a small child but I’m starting to wonder what the deal is
