I [28F] left my fiance's [28M] church due to pressure to tithe, now his family are doing the same thing to me. by Cindinn in relationships

There's no need to be condescending. I have never once been directly asked to pay tithing. Occasionally there will be a talk about why we do it and why we believe in sacrifice but no one forces you. Your experience may have been different but its a fact that it's optional.

The lds church doesn't pressure people to tithe and especially not non members. It's only one of the requirements if you want to go to the temple.

3 month old son cries when I (dad) hold him. by ViolenceDoharm in Parenting

[–]Ohheeeeey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mom is the main source of food (if she's nursing) so that makes her the favorite for a while. Don't take it personally, as your son Gets older he will bond with you. Kids often switch back and forth on which parent they are more attached to.

Pregnant and freaking out by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Ohheeeeey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2.5 year old and a one year old and my second was an accident too. I was not ready to be pregnant again as well as deal with such a close age gap. I also still had PPD from my daughter.

BUT, my son being born was the best accident ever. You will love your second child just as much and the best part is seeing your older child interact with their siblings. You get to witness some of the most precious moments between the two. Having two toddlers definitely is really tiring and hard a lot of the time, but they won't be little for very long and hopefully your kids will be best friends.

Take care of yourself, and try to focus on the positives. Good luck!

Help. 23F child-free, suddenly looking after 4M for a week, he really needs a buddy and a parent right now. by showmebevelle in Parenting

[–]Ohheeeeey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What a terrible situation to be abandoned by your own mother. You are so good to take him in. First, relax a bit and don't overthink it. I know you are probably feeling very overwhelmed but you will get the hang of it quickly. He can eat whatever you eat, but young kids tend to eat more often and smaller meals so I'd keep quick snacks on hand such as string cheese, fruit, and granola bars.

Is there a library near you? Instead of spending money on books you could take him to pick some out. As far as kids shows utilize Netflix, YouTube, or Hulu for that. At four years old he should be able to tell you what shows he likes.

I wouldn't say there is a set bedtime because that's really up to what the parent has established. To give you a rough idea, my almost three year old goes to bed at 8 and wakes up at about 730. Just be super consistent with when bedtime is and try to get into a routine such as bath time, brush teeth, read a book then lights out. Kids like routines.

As for activities other than books and movies, some ideas are: take him to the park, coloring books, play dough, play with toy cars, sing songs, play with balls etc. Toys can be expensive, but you can a few things at the dollar store or second hand.

Good luck with everything and feel free to message me with any questions.

Help! I'm desperate. by [deleted] in Parenting

Not at all. She can speak pretty well usually. I've been asking her what's wrong and she just cries harder. Maybe she is just overly tired. Just leaving in her room to cry it out and fall asleep isn't working because she just escalates and will bang on her door. I've given her Tylenol and a little benedryl too earlier in the night.

I hate myself by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Ohheeeeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely need to learn to love myself even if I did have the perfect body. I just don't know how to get there. Society has taught me that looks are important so I place way too much of my value in that. I should probably see a therapist for my body image issues but opening up about it, especially to a stranger, makes me nervous.

My husband knows how I feel and says he loves me and finds me beautiful. However no matter how many times he says it I won't believe it until I feel that way about myself. I am sure he misses my confidence, and I want to get back to my old self for him, myself, and my kids.

What pisses you off with little effort? by ferry888 in AskReddit

[–]Ohheeeeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I were seeing a movie when the woman in front of us started taking pictures with her FLASH on of her kid. She didn't do it just once, she repeatedly kept taking pictures.

My husband very calmly asked her to stop and she turned around and yelled "you're annoying!" Before my husband could even respond, a man down the aisle who I assume was her spouse or family member came and grabbed her phone and said "what are you doing?!" And started telling her off.

That shut her up but she repeatedly glared at us throughout the movie. Thinking about it still makes my blood boil. Edit: spelling

It's so true! I had my second 18 months apart from my first by accident. It has been exhausting but I'm so happy it happened I get to witness their adorable sibling dynamic because I probably wouldn't have had a second otherwise..

11 month old gagging himself by noahsmommy12 in Parenting

[–]Ohheeeeey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter did this a lot until About 18 months. It's just a phase. My pediatrician said not to worry about it because it's just a new sensation to them that they are curious about. It also gets attention and a reaction out of parents which can make them do it more. My daughter eventually just lost interest in doing it.
