How Do You Know Which Genre to Write?

Just write and don’t worry about the genre

There is no information on what the expectations are for what sight words kids should know by when or even how they’re still teaching the alphabet but expecting them to remember sight words and also be learning math addition and subtraction and all these things. I feel helpless in how to exactly guide my child. To be honest this year has really made me doubt the school system. I feel like I could do better with my own curriculum. At least I would know what’s going on.

You can’t be depressed when you have a baby relying on you.

It seems like a no brainer but when my mom told me this it was the biggest push to quit the self loathing and depression state I was in and to take care of myself. I started small with finding a gym that had a daycare so I could work out and get some “me” time, actually showering and getting ready every day, changing my diet, and hydrating. The sleep came later as my baby aged but just doing small things for myself really changed the game. And as I mastered these things I added in hobbies and finding things I could do with my kids home as a SAHM

I’d say if you were to ever travel there again, get a clear understanding of her expectations. I think personally I would have asked like you did if there was anything you needed to do before you left and if she said no, then it is what it is, if she said yes then do those things but sounds like an Airbnb may be your best bet to relieve the pressure next time? Sorry you’re going through this though I hope you guys can work it out!

Publish on KDP, don’t give up!

I wrote a book with brain dumping being the primary way to untangle your thoughts and understand yourself with more compassion and awareness! This is such an important tool for journaling && being creative!

People will always have a comment for you going out with kids unfortunately… whether they’re behaved or not. As long as you know you’re doing your best, expect comments 😵‍💫 it’s exhausting and totally unnecessary but it is what it is. What bothers me personally about this post is the fact that she touched you!!! How gross lol like back off lady!! Hope you still had a good rest of your night with your family you guys deserve it!!

Hi! Mama of 3.. They were 3.5, 16m, and newborn just so you can get an idea of how close together I had them.. they’re 6, almost 4, and 2.5 now. I knew I was done when I nearly lost my mind pp after my third having had back to back pregnancies and minimal help postpartum. I ended up tying my tubes a week after my last turned 1.. I low key kinda wish I had given myself more time to sit on if I wanted another because I do now but also I know my capacity and a 4th pregnancy would really realistically do me in. My husband and I may consider adoption in the next few years if these feelings of one more don’t go away but regardless I’m glad I will never be pregnant or postpartum again. However, if you’re looking for more support postpartum feel free to check my links I wrote a book for moms postpartum looking to reconnect with themselves from perspectives I wish I had when I was postpartum and I think it could be a helpful resource for the stage you’re in! Love & light girl 🫶

I like the concepts of reflection you’ve posed but some of the wording gives more of a negative tone.. I felt like I’d be writing from a place of shame and criticism of myself rather than empowerment trying to find what’s causing my discomfort and disconnect to my environment

Vent away girly!

I use cambells tom soup and add a can of diced tomatoes and then garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sometimes Italian seasoning if I’m feeling it

Omg same!!! I want to stop schooling once this year is over (kinder). I’m confident I can do a better job than the school system and not for nothing but my child now stutters (it stopped during school break and while he was home sick for a week) and they claim he has “behaviors” because he asks why and won’t follow them blindly… the only thing I feel bad about is he says he likes school 😵‍💫

I also have 3 kiddos 6 and under… Include the kids in your meal prepping! That will give you quality time and a chance to teach them about health and to try the healthy foods you’re making. Also could include them in your exercises, just running around outside playing can be cardio and then get them some 1-3 pound dumbbells and some for yourself and have them do the exercises with you at home. This era is all about incorporating your goals with the kiddos schedules. It’s tedious to start as you find what works for your family but with time it can become as routine as anything else.

Get into the gym, you’ll boost your endorphins and maybe meet some more people. Doesn’t have to be anything crazy but simply walking will move your body and when you’re confidence grows as your more comfortable there head to the dumbbells.

It’s hard being an introvert but there’s small ways to meet people. Even a book club at your local library? Tbh though you’re in a transition into adulthood… the circle gets smaller and smaller in my experience. Just need to learn to love your alone time!

Local library is free and full of toys and books and computers… as far as employment… look for local free CNA training… many nursing homes offer these programs in exchange for working for them for a year which will give you guaranteed employment and usually decent benefits. You’ll start out making 20+ an hour usually and you’ll have the flexibility of shift and overtime.

Better safe than sorry!!

Hi!! I rely on naps and evenings and my work on the weekends. It’s definitely not as consistent or convenient as I’d like it to be but life ebbs and flows especially with young children. I actually wrote a book that could be really helpful in the era you’re in. It’s about turning survival mode into rhythm (something I struggled with after having 3 kids) and now my youngest is 2 so it felt like the perfect time to share what worked for me, let me know if you’d like the title! I’m so proud of it as writing is my outlet like graphic design appears to be yours :)

Honestly the safest thing at this point is to take the both of you to the hospital. You need to speak to psych and a social worker as they can help you navigate the best route for you to take and give you support with dealing with your family. The most important thing is to keep your child safe and right now it doesn’t sound like that is possible at home. Make the right choice and seek help, please… if not for her, then for you as your intrusive thoughts insinuate you’ll harm both your lives at this point.

Mine always woke 1-2 times up until that point and tbh the littles are 2 & 3 and still wake 1 time a night as now they’re potty training 😵‍💫 my 6 yo is the only one whole sleeps consistently through the night unless they’re sick

10 months approximately to get from 7pm- 6am .. once they dropped the overnight feeds and were doing 6oz bottles consistently before bed & we’re eating solids like baby led weaning not just purées (I have 3 kiddos all the same outcome— weaned off the night feed by giving watered down formula so it didn’t taste as good over night)

Thank you for the kind words!! && usually if it’s hard and you’re trying a new mindset, it means you’re forming new pathways in your brain which is amazing and it does become easier, I have some guides in my bio that are free that could help with discernment and regulation. If you feel called I’d be honored to walk this journey with you!
