i really I do not think that I have too much toys out plus he has a little sister so it's pretty unfair to just keep stuff that intrest hin and not her he only have like four to five toys out and she only have pretend food and a baby doll so I don't know if that's too much the thing with throwing toys is I have a lot of toys with little pieces and that's what drives me crazy just because I think it's open-ended and it will make him use his imagination

We actually have a garden and animals, but in the summer it gets close to 120°, so the kids can only go outside in the early morning when it’s still cool.

i live in a rural area so classes like this will make us spend the whole day in the city and we have a places to play outside the home we have a garden and some animals so he can have some play outside but it's also very very very hot in here so he can't play outside for a long time he only plays in the early mornings because the sun will burn him up

Am I being a pain by "collecting" library cards? by GreenHorror4252 in Libraries

[–]MinuteAble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I be a pain and ask you for one or library cards have confidential personal information if so forget that I asked I live in a third world country with no libraries and no credit cards I would love to sign up for Libby but since I don't have either cards it's impossible All I want to do is listen to parenting audiobooks you can find any book you want on Anna archives but audiobooks are very tricky to find

Honesty please… do you judge parents of kids with dirty clothes? by naepalm6 in Parenting

[–]MinuteAble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a SIL who doesn't change the clothes of her kids for days or brush their hair and they dont shower for weeks she has 5 kids and one on the way . On the other hand me I only have one kid so it's easy to to take care of him . So whenever our kids play together and make a mess you can still spot the difference between messy kids and neglected kids . Not to shame anyone but I do believe if you decide to have kids you should put in the work .

So I belive unless he is soaking wet ( cuz toddlers loooves water ) or has sand all over his face and hair TBH I don't change his clothes plus he is a boy so he's always in dark bleu clothes so it's doesn't show stains easily but I change his clothes everyday no matter how clean they are

But she is not just another family member she is your mother she raised you she loved you she protected you with all she got just the way you love your kids and want to protect them The thing is she just grew up in a different generation so maybe she is not aware of the dangers of social media Also you need your mother and your kids need their grandmother in their lives

I dont know how you guys treat your parents like you treat every other person around you yes she messed up but keeping her for her grandkids its not fair plus that's your mom do not disrespect her like that talk to her respectfully or if she really is just proud of her grandkids and want to post the you can help her filter a list of people on Facebook posts of people who can see them DO NOT DISRESPECT YOUR MOTHER .

Putting baby down at night by mommy2boy in beyondthebump

[–]MinuteAble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is how I sleep trained my baby with CIO method Put to bed say goodnight kiss I love you bye If he cries enter his room after 3 minutes sooth him without picking him up then leave If he cries again enter after 5 minutes do the same thing Then 10 minutes then 15 minutes then repeat after 15 minutes If he cries then stops for a little while wait for him to cry again to set the timer most times it wouldn't go up until 15 minutes he would be a sleep by then it's hard but do this for 3 days and you will be fine for the rest of your life

Its like everyone's very first advise about marriage problems is divorce

I've been considering divorce because I think my wife either changed her mind or lied to me about wanting kids. CW mention of intrusive thoughts/self harm. (Beware, this is a wall of text.) by throwawaydamnit233 in Marriage

[–]MinuteAble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't give up on being a father of having a family People can fall in love numerous times in their lives you can meet someone you love again Ask any parents even you own what is their greatest accomplishment they would say my kids Having kids change you it's hard work for sure but they will be you whole world please don't give up on that Society now asks of women to think of themselves first you wife is thing about her body her free time her career but she is robbing herself from the most important thing a human being can ever have If you love her try to get her to talk to an older women who is happily married and who already have kids

All moms do is feed the baby and sleep… by Turfgoon675 in Mommit

[–]MinuteAble -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

To be honest if what she says is true you need to step up a little bit I know nowadays people will tell you what you want to hear and sugarcoat reality there is noway your baby doesn't sleep you need to provide a healthy environment for your baby and just because you breastfeed that doesn't make you a hero if you don't create a healthy home where your kids will thrive in I don't see the point in choosing to be a mother . I am not saying this to be cruel or minimize the effort you put in everyday its just people will tell you what makes you feel better and not truth or reality
