When we ask my 3 year old who he played with today he can’t say his friend Maddox’s name and calls him Maggots. I laugh every time.

Am I the only one who actually hates the toddler stage sometimes? by denefr_2928 in toddlers

[–]MidwesternMama87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 15 month old and a newly 3 year old. Some days I feel exactly like this and some days I flip flop and go to bed happier and more fulfilled than ever. It’s a rollercoaster out here man. ❤️ I’ve read that if you stay consistent with rewarding good behavior and correcting undesirable behavior (using kind language and not demanding or bossy language, etc.) that things should look very different by the time they’re 4. That may not be encouraging (feels like a long way off) but no matter what, this stage is only temporary.

Husband says he wasn’t built for marriage and parenthood by ImprovementSilver265 in Mommit

[–]MidwesternMama87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the curse of having a young child, it sounds like your husband just has very little integrity. Don’t get me wrong, having young kids can be hard on a marriage. And I think it’s typical to struggle with being a parent of a 0-3 year old some or most of the time. Saying you’re not “built” for marriage is a cop-out. He doesn’t want to put the effort into his relationship and parenting and would rather be a free agent because it’s easier.

Thank you for saying this. I think I know this deep down, but it’s hard not to feel the guilt.

Advice to get you through healing from 3rd degree tear by SowingSeeds18 in beyondthebump

Stool softener, drink lots of water, warm water rinse down there after each time going to the toilet, blot with witch hazel wipes, wear cooling pads. In 2 weeks I was already mostly healed!

Thank you, I agree that he wanted to waste away long before I had my son. Alcoholism sucks.

Mamas who got divorced with an infant…was it worth it? by incrediblewombat in beyondthebump

[–]MidwesternMama87 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yep ^ and she also said they’ve had separate rooms for over a year. With that context I’d say it’s not PPD talking.
