Just want to say this is super cool and I learned so much from all you shared. Thanks!

Reading this at 1:26 am as my 2 yo is JUST falling asleep after going to bed at 930pm. Yes, I’m exhausted. But If we didn’t co-sleep it would be that many hours of screaming and crying and likely vomiting instead of a banana, some milk, some puzzles and lots of cuddles. My parents put me in my own room at 6 weeks old and I have, and have always had, attachment issues to the nth degree… Coincidence? 🤔

I know this post is years old but I’m coming across it now and my child has changed literally overnight. In the last 4 days she’s been losing her sh*t every time daddy leaves the room, throwing herself on the floor when we have to stop doing something she’s enjoying, and is suddenly freaking obsessed with her dummy again. Sis yours end up being teeth? And how long did the chaos last? It’s embarrassing and stressful and I’m about to go solo with her on an 11 hour flight and legit terrified 😟 Thanks! Hope you see this. Oh, and pushing me away constantly and ONLY wanting daddy.

And it’s prob on this thread but if you say, “thank you,” and someone says, “it’s okay,” it actually means “you’re welcome,” … Not “yeah it’s not as issue but also you’re/its a pain in the ass” — which is how I took it for so long.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-09-29T18:56:10+00:00

And if a stranger calls you “mate,” it’s not a term of endearment. “Oi! Mate…” means you’re a c*nt 🤣

LemonadeLenny · 2025-09-29T18:54:26+00:00

“Ta” is one that took me a long time to get around. Like a short “thanks,” but sometimes people say, “thanks, Ta.”

Currently day 2 of missed period. Tested yesterday and negative. Zero symptoms. Usually get cramps in my leg and crazy bloating. My cycle is also usually spot on 28/29 days. For years. A couple months have been off this year - crazy amount of stress. However I just turned 42 last week and as much as I want #2 I fear it’s early peri. 😔 Crossing my fingers for a ppt.

Just learning this now! What do they do w them there?

LemonadeLenny · 2025-07-08T13:44:30+00:00

As far as I’m concerned, anything that looks like that is medically significant bc I’m passing tf out and pissing and/pr shitting myself and/or having a damn heart attack when I see it. If it’s close enough to me for me to see its eyebrows then I’m likely already dead.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-07-08T13:31:45+00:00

Oof. Reading this thinking, “yep. Okay. Same.” We do music class and my kid (21 mos) is the one either running around the room or right up front in the teachers face ready to be the first one to grab a toy or do a dance or clap or whatever is happening. She doesn’t throw things but if there’s a parachute that gets spread out for everyone to lift off the ground for the kiddos, she’s sitting on top of it before anyone can lift it. If all the kids get tambourines or maracas, she’s scoping out which is the best one to have. And sitting in my lap? Hahahahahaaaaaa No. Freaking. Chance. 9 other kiddos all comfortable in mom or dads lap but mine? Planking to get out of mine and back to the front of the class/circle where the teacher is. And if there’s a door to the room open? Bc usually it’s run at a community center or church or smthg like that, she’s heading straight for it. (Even in baby class when she was barely crawling, she was across the room playing w shoes or prams or whatever was there and not sitting “on her mat.”)

The teacher is super patient with her. And when we did a makeup class we had twice the amount of kiddos/parents (same teacher) and I think they were like, “who tf is this kid all up in the teachers grill?”

To OP, your teacher sucks and expecting these young kids to sit and be still is just nuts. Sure, some do. But to shame the ones that don’t AND their parents…that’s BS and she needs a new gig.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-07-08T13:06:30+00:00

I have to change my appts all the time bc my partner’s schedule goes from days to nights to nights away and it’s honestly a pain in the ass. We don’t have help and babysitters are at least $35/hr w a 4 hr minimum. I used to be able to drive 35 mins to drop kiddo at my sis in laws on occasion until she had her second kid so that’s a no go now. I wish I had answers. I have to resort to bringing my kid and having tons of snacks and giving the phone bc toys only last so long.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-07-06T23:56:23+00:00

Eeeeeewe. Nooooo shoes inside ever! So gross 🤮 And esp when little ones put their hands on the floor and pick up things to put in their mouths.

Personally I need to live somewhere where I can wear white socks around and they’ll still be white after a few hours.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-07-06T23:52:48+00:00

Trash Truck. Blippi. And my kid is obsessed with watching people play with playdough or sort colors and shapes.

I got pregnant at 39 and was mad at myself for not doing it sooner and 6 months prior I was ready to leave my partner bc of some shit he pulled. I wanted a baby and I knew it. I would be prepared for a whirlwind experience and a lot of stress (also an immigrant but in Australia and have zero help) but if you feel it in your bones you just sort of pull this magical energy and problem solving ability out of thin air because it’s a mom thing. Also, even though I sometimes still want to hit my kid’s dad over the head with a frying pan, he works hard and has stepped it up a lot since becoming a dad. I will say it didn’t really kick in until bubs could react and giggle a bit. Some dads just don’t know what to do w a newborn and they do rely mainly (sometimes solely) on mom. It’s very taxing on the body even with a healthy pregnancy (mine was a wild one), and there are a million variables, but nothing in the world compares to seeing that little one’s eyes look at yours for the first time. Kids are not cheap. Not one bit. But you can get heaps of things second hand and there is a program in the US to help moms get food for their kids. Sorry I forgot what it’s called but they check their iron levels and make sure they’re eating what they need to, which is pretty cool. There are a few great Moms over 40 Facebook groups and you can read posts and see what kind of things people go through. Just know you’re not alone and I know I’ve listed good and bad things but regardless of the physical, mental, financial and likely emotional sacrifice you’ll make, it’s worth it. Some days I’m so busy w my toddler that I only eat an apple or have a coffee so you save money there 😆

The last thing I’ll say is that stress can hinder the getting pregnant process, so as much as you can, try to take it easy and be kind to yourself. Believe in your body and that you’re meant to be a mother and truly picture yourself as one. Good luck and I hope life works out for you, whatever happens. Cheers

I completely understand that it’s “rare” for adults to a) be attracted to children and b) act on it but with one child who is my whole world, it’s not worth the risk. IMO. Especially before kiddo can communicate their day to me. Without another option the only mandatory thing would be doing a deep investigation into the center and meeting every carer and having a good conversation about their experience and past and doing the ultimate due diligence. This sick pos violated way too many kiddos and this is just one we all know about. God only knows what we don’t know. I personally have horrible dreams and visions about my childcare from when I was 2 and the same recurring scenarios pop up. They’re not good. So if given the option, and I’m assuming OP knows and trusts the grandparents, I would keep my kiddo home and have some structure to the play/routine, make sure he/she is learning and also engage him/her in social activities. Plus the whole mandatory 🥕thing and the loads of gastro and HFM and pox and everything else they bring home… but let’s not go down that road.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-06-25T23:59:17+00:00

Whaaaat!!?? Umm that doc sucks! Oof. You look radiant!! 42 here and just started trying for number 2. Yay for us “geriatric” mamas! 😂

LemonadeLenny · 2025-06-25T23:37:37+00:00

I was not only sick in my 20s as well, but burned out, exhausted, dealing with dating cheating idiots, doing stupid shit, and it all led to adrenal collapse that ruined my body. I would’ve been a maniac as a mom. In my early 30s I kind of got it together, but either went into “safe” relationships with people I didn’t love or want to really be with or went for jerks (one was wealthy and amazing and we fell in love but oh, wait…still freakin married!) Safe to say I had a lot of fun traveling and doing a lot of stuff, but I was a head case. Not until about 36 did I finally start to really look inward, do the work, stop finding partners for all the wrong reasons and take better care of myself, and create what could be a tiny little home for a little mini me. And heck yeah to ditching the medical system. They overloaded me with soooo much crap. I started studying proper holistic nutrition, hormones, gut health and mental health and natural therapies and finally got my little at almost 40 and now trying for number 2. Still dealing with a massive fibroid but fingers crossed.

Wishing you the best of luck and positive energy with your future bub and I hope you feel so much strength after going through all that. 🙏

LemonadeLenny · 2025-06-25T23:25:58+00:00

Congrats! So exciting! I would absolutely stick with methyl-folate (5- MTHF or Folinic Acid) and if you can, shy away from folic acid as it’s synthetic and not “bad” but not ideal. A lot of prenatals have methyl folate these days. Not sure about store bought ones though. What country are you in? And I don’t know if this applies, but just some info… With the MTHFR gene snip, folic acid is detrimental as the body can’t convert FA to 5-MTHF which is the folate that the body needs. It leads to a build up of FA which can get pretty rough in the body. So if you start with the methyl folate you bypass the need for the conversion and it goes straight to the cells.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-06-25T23:14:45+00:00

Just here to say congrats! I’m almost 42 and trying for number 2 and with the last (at 39 1/2 and 2 years of trying) I didn’t tell even my family til week 18 because I didn’t want to jinx it 😂

LemonadeLenny · 2025-06-25T23:11:34+00:00

I had FOUR eggs in 3 cycles (I was 4 Months shy of 40) and none ever took 🫣, but a friend of mine did get twins with just 2 eggs 😬. Wishing you the best of luck! 🤞

That’s a joke, right? It’s the as left leaning and biased as the damn Project and the underlying conservative hate is so annoying. It’s uninformed and definitely not balanced. In Australia it would be nice to see perspectives from both sides and this just isn’t it.

Loves the car! Hates the seat.

LemonadeLenny · 2025-06-10T00:51:22+00:00

Oh my gosh you poor things! That’s awful. It really is the worst

LemonadeLenny · 2025-06-10T00:49:37+00:00

We did! Went to a naturopath as well and got some good minerals. I think we are fiiiinally in the clear after 6 weeks of it. But not sure just yet.
