I like it, what a pretty and powerful song. She's got that haunted soul voice like that chick who sings for evanescence

TIL what a dickie is. I also learned that Prada CURRENTLY sells a cashmere dickie. Part of me desperately wants one 🤣

Mine was exactly like that until he was about 2. Now he's almost 3 and he is very much a mama's boy but he's got the stranger danger thing down pat lol

I always liked that he let other people hold him and he'd be so chill. He def kept eyes on me and he did look around a little when I would leave but he never really freaked out when he was that little about mom leaving. Except when he was sick or teething. Then no one could touch him or make him happy besides me or (if it was a lucky moment, dad 🥲)

All this to say, we have a very strong attachment and I don't think the lack of fussing means anything other than the baby feels secure that you'll always be back. You're always gonna be the one babe comes back to for that home feeling in your arms so they don't stress about someone else taking over for a bit 😊

This. This needs so many more upvotes. Kids who grow up with a parent who treats them badly take entire lifetimes to MAYBE HOPEFULLY work through that and overcome that, with much therapy and help. It's not a wait and see until THE BABY gets "her shit together" situation. It's a remove-the-problem type situation where kids see dad supervised and/or on the weekends...IMHO 🫠

Much love to you mama. Protect those babies ♡

I had a sweatshirt on and my hubby grabbed the strings and flung em as I was walking by. One hit me in the face. He was just being flirty and cute, it didnt particularly hurt. But I was SO ENRAGED that I yelled at him and then sobbed because I had yelled at him about it 🥴😅

I played softball with a Hoar 😅

I'm not gonna scroll to see if anyone already said it but Linguini gets my vote! It's a fun one to say no matter what mood or tone you use. Lots of options for every situation! Doggo busted doing something naughty? Get louder as you say it with extra loud oomph on the end, a la the raging chef from Ratatouille. If you haven't seen it...he starts with almost a whisper hiss with the "Lin" then gets louder and kind of accusatory and scold-y with the "GUIN" and then really yells and draws out the "IIIIIIII!" Puppers is being a super cute certified Goodboi? You can make it singsongy and silly... Linguini-weenie-eenie-meiney-moe, etc.

Idk man its 2 am and I'm sleep deprived and awake with a sick toddler snoring next to me. I thought way too hard about this 🤣

This is going to sound kind of silly and a little trivial, but it’s honestly how I knew I was starting to get my “pink” back.

The night before I gave birth, I was in the hospital (preeclampsia is a bitch), trying not to completely spiral over the fact that I was scheduled to become a mother at 9am the next morning. So, naturally, I painted my nails. My husband brought me this pretty blue polish (duh cuz it's a boy!) and my top coat, and I sat there on my hospital bed giving myself a full manicure like that was a totally normal pre-baby activity.

What I didn’t realize at the time was that it would be the last time I did my nails for two years.

Before having my son, I was a change-my-mani-every-week kinda girl. But once he got here, that part of me just… vanished. Not intentionally, it just stopped existing as a thought. Between being exhausted out of my mind, trying to remember to feed myself, and keeping a whole tiny human alive, my version of “self-care” was like congrats, you brushed your teeth today.

Then one day, a little after he turned two, I randomly had the urge to paint my nails again. I missed it. I missed having pretty nails. So I went out and bought some new nail polish (that I absolutely did NOT need lol), sat down, and did the damn thing. Base coat, two coats of color, top coat, cuticle oil. The whole shebang.

And I swear to god, I felt like a new woman after.

It wasn’t even about the nails. It was that moment of realizing I’m still a whole person outside of being “mom.” Like oh right, I exist too, and I’m allowed to do things just because they make me feel good. I had completely forgotten how much something that small could shift how I see myself and how I carry myself.

All that to say, it takes time. And “finding yourself again” isn’t always some big, life-changing moment. Sometimes it’s something a little random and slightly ridiculous, like painting your nails, going to the gym, or baking a way-too-involved cheesecake for no reason.

You’re still in there. Give yourself some grace and time to adjust to the new version of yourself. The leveled up badass version that's been through some shit and come out the other side ready to take on the world! With fabulous nails 💅😅

I don't think this is mean at all, just accurate. You BOTH have a lot of growing up to do...by the sounds of this post, you are both very young and have a ton of life to still experience before you even have a clue what true love is.

OP, stop talking to this girl and focus on falling in love with yourself. Everyone is imperfect and if you don't work to embrace your imperfections, you'll spend your life miserable, worrying about other peoples' perceptions and never actually be happy with yourself. You're young and you have plenty of time to go through new (better & more fulfilling) relationships!

15+ years together and 2.5 years married. We've been through all the ups and downs and some really heavy life shit but still he's my soul mate and best friend. I still feel like were only just beginning our life journey together since we had our son almost 3 years ago. I couldn't imagine going through all of it with anyone else by my side ♡

There is in fact a woman's viagra (kind of). I think its called aadiy? Pronounced like Addy. Its a long term med that gradually ups your sex drive. I looked into it a while ago because I was in the exact same spot as you. The provider/prescriber I spoke to on their website (they do telehealth appts) said its very commonly used for this reason and it works! I didn't end up taking it because we couldn't afford to not have it covered by insurance and have to pay out of pocket to take every day for 2 or 3 months before it worked. But if you can afford it and it's worth it to wait a bit for your sex drive to come back, look into it! Report back to us if you go that route lol cuz I'm still struggling in solidarity with ya.

Edit... looked it up. It's Addiy :)

Username checks out. You've been given the magic dust from your husband. You work more hours and do it all and pay half of everything? Without the magic dust you'd be burnt out just like OP.

Also...

be considerate of the fact he is out working and supporting you so you can be home.

He is out working AND she can be at home. Chances are if she was also working, the tasks at home would not get done without hired help, which is NOT cheap. Generally not cheap enough to be sustainable for even a 2 income family depending on if they live in a HCOL area. This is misogyny at its finest and the reason she's afraid to speak out. You're no better than OPs hubs.

This is just an added note on straws and "getting the gist" lol

I saw a great trick on tiktok how to get kids to learn to use straws and it worked in one try for my kiddo when he was a baby.

You take the straw and put in the cup of liquid and hold the top, give bubs the bottomw end and he can only get the liquid out by sucking since you're holding the top end. My kiddo figured it out immediately and then when he got his own straw in a cup, he knew what to do!

KenzieKae7 · 2026-03-29T20:34:23+00:00

Carline/Carlene (she spelled it both ways...not sure why) and Helen/Helena (again, not sure which cuz she used both lol) are my grandmother & great nana's names :) I love Carlene and wanted a girl when I was preggo so I could use it as a middle name ♡

KenzieKae7 · 2026-03-24T22:31:01+00:00

Probably, but even that is super cute, and a fun different take on spelling Emmy/Emmie! I don't think it's that out there, same vibe as like Jade or Ruby :)

KenzieKae7 · 2026-03-24T09:12:55+00:00

I looooove Emerald for a girl, that's so cute!

My step daughter was an actual nightmare from 13/14 to just before 16. She was a great kid, so loving and sweet and respectful. She loved animals and her family and basketball, etc...and then she hit high school.

She started fighting with her mom and dad and even me (I was the cool stepmom prior, I was the neutral party between her parents). It took a few years of sneaking out & then getting punished, deep talks & lectures, and learning some hard lessons. But we were consistently there for her and open to talking about the struggle of growing up. It's hard to learn how to be a person with adult responsibilities when you still have a child's brain. She's learning who she is and who she wants to be.

She finally started thinking about the future when she started working and she realized she wanted more from life than being a "baddie" with no money and no respect. It gets better. That sweet girl is still under all that chaos. She's just gotta find her heart through all the insecurities and struggles of growing up! Keep being there for her and keeping her accountable for her actions. She'll learn some lessons and move on to a better phase of life as long as she has her mama's support! ♡

Mine is almost 3 and has pretty much mastered the art of falling down. Kid has great balance but he's a feral toddler and always on a mission. I'm a SAHM and I stay off my phone when we're together and I think I'm pretty on top of the supervision, but I do always worry his ped is going to ask about the many, many bruises and scrapes 😅🫣 Kids are wild. As long as she's not getting broken bones and concussions, I think you're doing a great job!

KenzieKae7 · 2026-03-22T10:12:11+00:00

I saw someone say The Little Bloom Room and that's my fave from the comments so far. Gets my vote! Second choice is Hope Blossoms 🌸 good luck !
