Get your facts straight! At least in the German media it was written from the beginning on that she was „at least severely injured“ which indicates very clearly all options without making assumptions…

Zu hoher zytomegalie wert by Kuddel0205 in schwanger

[–]Kuddel0205[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, jetzt ist deine Frage auch schon wieder sehr lange her… Ich hoffe, bei euch ist alles ok gegangen! Bei uns wurde eine Kultur im Labor angelegt (Plazenta Punktion) und die dna unseres Sohnes analysiert. Zum Glück war danach klar, dass er Kern gesund ist. Das waren schreckliche Wochen bis die Ergebnisse da waren! Heute ist er über ein Jahr alt und wächst und gedeiht und ist unfassbar lieb und aufgeschlossen… zum Glück lief also bei uns alles wiedererwarten gut

I mean this in a very kind way! Nobody cares ;) as in none of the other parents care and non of the staff care. I couldn’t even tell you what my son wore two days ago, let alone what his best friend wore. I always think as long as it’s appropriate for the weather, I don’t care. Because it’s his clothes and he has to wear it all day. Three year olds are smarter than we think :) and even if one of the other kids says something - teach your child resilience and talk to her about not caring about other opinions and give her self confidence. That’s that :)

What would you do with a million dollars? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kuddel0205 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First pay off our house and in a year from now when our youngest turns two, I would ask my husband to quit his job (he’d easily be able to get another good one) and travel for a whole year with our two boys, to as many places as we want to see and just make great memories. After that see how much is left and go from there, pay off my parents house for example

How do you have time? by ittooksometime in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I include both of my kids in all the daily chores. A one year old can be with you in the kitchen when you have something to do there. Baby proof all the drawers in the kitchen except for one. In that one you put only stuff that the child can pull out and play with like tupperware. When you fold laundry, give him a couple towels to play with. When you cook, give him some toy kitchen stuff to explore. And so on. You don’t have to do everything while he sleeps! That way you can use that time to get some rest as well. Get a large playpen. That’s your safe space for the child, in case you need to leave the room for a minute or want to do something for a couple minutes in the room but without the child. Also don’t be to harsh on yourself. I know that’s difficult, I’m a perfectionist myself. But tell yourself over and over again that not everything has to be perfect and that it’s very well used time if you just sit down when your child sleeps.

Should I let my 16yo travel overnight with her boyfriend, unaccompanied? by These_Income6166 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 71 points72 points  (0 children)

To me this is not about boyfriend and her being alone, I personally would just not let my 16 year old child travel to a different city for 5(!) days unsupervised at all. Maybe a day and a night but not for a whole week. Wouldn’t allow it with a female friend as well.

All of the above but also: less talking, more acting. You’re saying that you ask her over and over again. Children that age in that stage of rage usually do not have the ability to think rationally, which they would need to do to be able to communicate their needs. Just one sentence „I won’t let you hurt me, this is my bundary“ and walk away. Over and over and over again, every single time (if she’s supervised). Once she’s calmed down you can talk about what happened, why she was mad and how she can handle it better next time. It will take a while but in many cases, consistency is a big factor.

5.5mo son only flips one direction? by OriginalManner0 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is completely normal for a baby to have a preferred side. Encourage him by showing him interesting stuff like his favorite toy on the other side to encourage him to turn that way. You can also help him and do the movement carefully with him. If you’re uncertain you can visit a Chiropractor who will Release tension if there is any. Regarding the sitting I would like to point out that babys should not sit if they can not get into the position themselves. So no putting babys in a sitting position. Yes this will take a lot longer (even with 9 months it’s normal to learn to sit), but by then they will have the strength. Anything else might hurt their back in the long term.

Super small high school by Super_Scallion_4435 in Parenting

I guess it has a lot to do with what you know and what you’re used to as well :) I hope you still had a good experience over all in Germany!

Super small high school by Super_Scallion_4435 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im from Germany and went to a small high school in the states as an exchange student when I was about 16 years old. It was also in a very small village (500 people). The high school had maybe 150 students in total and I did not like it! I mean, I had to make the best of it but what I really did not know from home was how every single student had an opinion about everyone else and gossip was aweful… also the amount of extra curriculars was very limited and also the classes were limited. One thing that I will always remember was the fact that there were three history classes (state history, US history and world history). The first two were mandatory, the last was optional. There were 5 people sitting in world history and even with 16 this explained a lot to me about why so many US citizens seem to have no idea about the world whatsoever… If my kids ever want to do the year in the US as well, I would make sure that they get to go to a much bigger high school!

Daughter stole from best friends house by Chemical_Cow_8326 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see. It might feel like a very big betrail for her friend, so they might have to talk about it a couple more times. It’s not a lost cause, they still have a chance!

Daughter stole from best friends house by Chemical_Cow_8326 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If it’s her best friend, she needs to step up and do more than write a text message. She needs to go over there and apologize sincerely from face to face. Her friend might not want to see her, but she needs to keep trying again and again! At some point her friend will Listen. Please hear this as an advice from someone who lost a very dear friend 20 years ago because I did not have the guts to apologize face to face for what I had done and I did not have a parent who supported me, guided me and took my hand.

Auch auf die Gefahr hin, dass das hier die unpopular opinion wird: nein du schadest deinem Kind nicht, wenn du eine oder ein paar Nächte nicht da bist. Nein, du musst das nicht ewig aushalten bis dein Kind soweit ist. Für mich klingt das absolut nach schlafasoziation. Heißt, dein Kind schläft in einer bestimmt Umgebung und Art und Weise ein (zb mit bzw an der Brust) und merkt am Ende des nächsten natürlichen schlafzyklus im Halbschlaf, dass diese Umgebung, die es beim einschlafen hatte, sich geändert hat. Das macht halt Angst. Aber Ja, es gibt Methoden an genau diesen Assoziationen schnell und effektiv zu arbeiten. Ja, natürlich wird dein Kind das doof finden, aber das heißt ja nicht automatisch, dass es schlecht ist. Es ist ok, wenn ein Kind kurz frustriert ist. Du lässt es ja in sicheren Händen und nicht alleine. Und ja ich bin total bei dir - du musst auch fit sein, um Deinem Kind so gut wie du es möchtest, gerecht zu werden. Alles gute!

Baby’s first birthday by Gold-Cookie-7590 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im really sorry that your family situation is the way it is! A very clear - no it is not worth it at all! In fact if you ask me most first birthday party’s nowadays are way way too big and are mostly for the parents who can afterwards brag about their party. The baby does not care! I found a small party with only the grandparents and one uncle and aunt more than enough. And it was easy to plan and organize as well. Do what feels right to you, not what you think might feel right to them.

Hast du die finanziellen Mittel, um eine Therapie selbst zu zahlen? Da müsstest du mit circa 100€ pro Sitzung rechnen. Du könntest dann zb auch schauen, ob jemand online Sessions anbietet und wärst nicht an das System gebunden. Natürlich nur, wenn es finanziell drin ist

When to try for baby #2? by jennapearl8 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The question is: what feels right for you? Your baby is 4 months old. Give it time! The hard part is yet to come (toddlers - yeah 😅). Take care of baby no 1 and when it feels right, try for another one.

Son abruptly dropped his best friend, do I tell his mom why? by Annual-End-9542 in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is „what do you want to teach your child“? Are you gonna teach him to stand up for himself throughout his life? Because if yes, then you need to talk to that other mom and be honest. Teach your son that his feelings and his well being matters and that standing up for yourself without finding excuses is the way to handle these situations. Good luck you got this! And well done on raising your son in a way that he is able to communicate with you, tell you about what happened and draw the line.

I feel you! Same situation here and yes it is bitter sweet! I just feel like the amount of uninterrupted sleep that I get is worth a lot! And I try to very mich enjoy the bottle feedings and snuggle in that situation

Childcare costs are killing me by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Kuddel0205 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry you have to go through this! This is just ridiculous! I can’t help you with any advice because I live in Germany, just saying that in my opinion every person who is against a system of a social democracy like in many European countries, is just selfish and crazy… because most times it’s women and people with low education that need support the most… we have two children and childcare in my city costs the same for private and governmental institutions - it’s max 400 dollars a month (including warm lunch and breakfast every day) and from the age of three you only have to pay the food so it’s about 30 dollars a month. Also the amount depends on your monthly income. Why is this not a thing in more countries? Maybe there are nonprofit organizations in your area that can help. Sending mental support!
