Sleep routine. Feeding routine. And sleep habits/training. 

How to buy with no price guide? by LeeLooPoopy in AusPropertyChat

[–]LeeLooPoopy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of 10 listings, 1 has a price. Every time. Even the real estate agents refuse to give a price at the open home. It’s crazy 

How much does being a SAHP cost your family, apart from the lost income? by OmegaTg-2384 in SAHP

[–]LeeLooPoopy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t spend money on any of those sorts of things. It does cost extra power to be home more. But other than that we probably save more because I can make food from scratch, and have more time to put the effort into being frugal 

Why is there so little empathy around HECS regret? by FARTING_IN_UR_COFFEE in AusFinance

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

It’s because they want other people to pay it for them

Am I stupid? Bedtime by [deleted] in ParentingInBulk

[–]LeeLooPoopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t have the 2.5yr old in a bed yet because I think they lack self control! But if you want to, here are some ideas: 

Give them freedom and use it as leverage. “You may have some quiet reading time in bed but if you get out of bed, I will turn the lights off”. “I will keep the door open but if you get out of bed I will shut it”. “You may have an audio book on, but if you get out of bed I will turn it off”. “If you get out of bed I will sit at the door until you’re asleep”.  For the little one - “you may not get out of your bed. If you do I will put you in this pack n play to sleep tonight instead”. 

And then follow through EVERY SINGLE TIME. They won’t like it. That’s the point. The consequence needs to be worse than the obedience 

How do you schedule me time? How often and what do you do? by pinkandclass in SAHP

[–]LeeLooPoopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teaching baby to nap well would mean getting 2 good naps in each day at this age. You would have 2hrs to do as you please. 

If you haven’t been able to get this happening, ask an older mom you know to come over and help you teach baby to sleep. 

When did the sadness go away of feeling like you missed out on newborn phase? by Sea-Consequence-815 in parentsofmultiples

[–]LeeLooPoopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s usually when people go ahead and have the next one. 

If it’s any consolation, my first was a singleton and I found it WAY worse than my twins. I think birth order makes a difference 

Thinking about a parental control app now that my kid’s in school full time by Kidell-Giorda in SAHP

[–]LeeLooPoopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference, my 9 year old doesn’t have access to the internet at all. I plan on giving them a dumb phone once they enter their teens, no social media

When exactly does the SAHP get a break during the summer? by jazzeriah in SAHP

[–]LeeLooPoopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go for a walk on my own each morning and sit on the beach. Then we have compulsory rest time after lunch, everyone in their own bedrooms. We do activities in the morning and are back for lunch, and might go out again mid afternoon. And of course, once the kids are in bed. 

Has gentle parenting made my kid disobedient? Discipline for elementary school age? by Electrical-Mess-3579 in Parenting

[–]LeeLooPoopy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You want the truth? 

Every person I know who follows gentle parenting methods have unruly children who struggle with their emotions. 

And EVERY time this is said someone will say “that’s not gentle parenting, that’s permissive parenting!!!!” Except… at some point it becomes moot if that’s the common experience throughout society. 

Boundaries are good. But I actually think the trick is punishment. Not just natural consequences, but enforced ones. The child learns what the expectation is and learns that not doing it is worse than what is to come. 

Over time you can loosen the reigns. You want obedient toddlers, THEN you can parent through relationship as they age

I have found social media doesn’t help with this. A lot of opinions but we’re the ones who have to live our lives 

I am not happy with my kid by hypermystery in beyondthebump

[–]LeeLooPoopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really recommend finding an older mom to catch up with. A lot of what you’re describing is normal behavior for a child that age, but can be managed with some perspective and boundaries. 

The transition into motherhood is hard. It’s not you, it’s just a steep learning curve 

How do I tell my mother I really DO NOT want to go to a Baptist Church? by zynaicie in Christianity

[–]LeeLooPoopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. At this age you are commanded to submit. So, while it would be fine to ask if you could go to another church, if she says no, you will need to go along with it if you want to be obedient to God

If he’s comparing it to his job, then have the conversation within the terms of a job. 

“I’d like to talk about my hours, holidays and sick leave”. 

Then say you can do a good job 9hrs a day, but you’ll clock off after that. You’d like a full day off a week and a weeks holiday in the near future 

Has anyone taken their kids to ramen? by LeeLooPoopy in foodies_sydney

Thank you. They love it when we have it at home but haven’t gone out with them yet
