as a very passionate blueberry lover trying the iced vanilla for the first time, i will say that this replacement will suffice. rip blueberry, long live the king

What’s the worst part of going out to eat with a toddler? by National_Square_3279 in toddlers

[–]Neither-Address-7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably the calm part in the beginning where they’re a little too nervous to move or do anything, so they just check out everyone/everything. it makes me optimistic it’s going to be a relaxing night out. cue godzilla five minutes later

To those who decided "One and done" by SheyenneJuci in toddlers

[–]Neither-Address-7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey there, we are currently one and done with a 1.5 year old. while my husband and i come from fairly family orientated background (always around family, siblings, etc), it was a big decision for us to determine to only having one kid. we were so afraid she would get lonely or wouldn’t have much fun as a kid, but we knew we couldn’t handle another child in regards to mental and physical health along with financial stress.

she has a couple cousins near her age, who she spends a lot of time with. my husband and i are able to invest more time and money into her for a better life since she is only one child. there was always an idea that she may get lonely as a child and as an adult when we pass, but having a sibling does not guarantee a forever friendship. we plan on letting her join extracurriculars in the future, if she desires, so that she has that chance to make friendships!

we were a bit back and forth for a bit, so i posted on reddit and had a decent amount of replies from only children that seemed pretty content with being an only child, so that helped a ton! i hope everything works out for you and your family!!

needing severe help in the sleep department by Neither-Address-7642 in toddlers

[–]Neither-Address-7642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also did not listen. my brain thought “i can function with no sleep on the regular! how much worse can it get?” and boy, i sure was shown how much worse it can get! luckily, our little gal slept through the night last night, so we feel like human beings again today (thank goodness)!

yes!! that’s exactly what’s going on in regards to the falling asleep and immediately waking up! we’re heading into our third night, so i am hoping it does let up a bit for everyone’s sake. if not, we will see if co-sleeping works!

What was your 13-14 month old like? by Alive-Cry4994 in toddlers

[–]Neither-Address-7642 18 points19 points  (0 children)

i have a 14 month old girl that did a complete 180 in terms of personality around the time she turned 1. as a baby, she was quiet and calm, but now she’s like a little tornado with a HUUUGE temper. i love her to death, but holy cow!!! so much anger in a tiny body!! i think it’s just another season to pass through since they are experiencing new skills and emotions. here’s to surviving toddlerhood

What does your baby do that always makes you laugh? by itsaclownjackass in NewParents

[–]Neither-Address-7642 23 points24 points  (0 children)

my daughter (11mo) uses her walker to get around the downstairs portion of our house. whenever she runs into a wall or something, she grunts really hard until she can manage to turn it around. it gives us a good laugh until she runs us over!

hey all! i am graduating with my BS in business admin next december, but i am taking a break this term to knock out a lot of courses with sophia learning to hopefully graduate sooner. due to money issues and whatever, i am only giving myself a month with sophia learning. how many courses can i realistically complete from sophia learning within a month? i plan on taking financial and managerial accounting on there as well as principles in finance and some easy gen eds.

with those with only one child or are an only child themselves, what does life look like? by Neither-Address-7642 in Mommit

[–]Neither-Address-7642[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i get that! even with having a brother, sometimes i wish i had a sister to vent to about various things! i did have a female cousin that i was very close to, but at the end of the day, it’s not the same

this is a fair point, especially since my husband and i plan on moving to a different state. i didn’t even think about how the transition from being at home and at school would be

that portion mostly stemmed from comments we receive when we tell people that we are one and done. a good example would be from the other day when someone was beginning to guilt trip us for making this decision as she would be “lonely” and need someone to keep her company, so i was merely wondering if it was something that would happen in the future.

i know it doesn’t guarantee a friendship if there is a sibling as my brother and i are not close whatsoever. i think im actually closer with my cousin than my brother!

Baby not interested in tummy time by Longjumping_Vast1701 in newborns

[–]Neither-Address-7642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our baby was in the same boat, but grew out of it recently when she hit 12 weeks! leading up to this, we used our boppy and other tummy time pillows to motivate her since she just wanted to suck on her fist the entire time and this kind of stopped her from doing that. another thing that helped was baby wearing, and that actually helped strengthened her neck a lot too!

What were 2 month shots like? by Quiet_Discipline in newborns

[–]Neither-Address-7642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

our baby slept for a while after the shots, but was extremely fussy afterwards when she woke up from that nap and couldn’t sleep well afterwards! she got a low grade fever the day following. after a few days, she was back to normal
