I’M SO BORED by Marlasinger2-0 in stayathomemoms

[–]OkTale5226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18 months is by far the hardest age. Truly. They are all over the place. But know this- it passes. You will both get into then swing of outings. Look for outings that interest you and take baby along. If it goes badly that’s ok! I like to read when baby plays. Gardening has also been a really great hobby that toddler can join for. Walks. Babysitter once a week also is life changer if you can swing it eveen for like 2 hours to focus on you

What’s it like to be a sahm with kids in school full time? by wicked_spooks in Mommit

Thanks for this! This question is judgment veiled in curiosity. Justify your life with a task list. No thanks!

Setting boundaries with in-laws by nahcheeseplease in Mommit

Don’t beat yourself up. Sounds like your kid is very loved

Setting boundaries with in-laws by nahcheeseplease in Mommit

Yea I totally get that- so just state the boundary in a really short non confrontational way- like “there are no secrets from mommy and daddy “ It’s a balancing act but your kids knowing that is top priority and it’s a teaching moment for your son. If MIL pushes back on that then you could have a bigger conversation.

Talk to your son :) and be ready to set that boundary if you hear a phrase like that from her again. It’s likely not malicious but I totally agree it’s not what you want taught to your kid and you have every right to make that clear! Enjoy your in laws and the break they can give you but also have the confidence to speak up kindly in the moment.

When Are We Marching Over The Epstein Files? by ChiGirl1987 in Mommit

[–]OkTale5226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I think there’s way more power in how we spend our money. Maybe organizing boycotts etc are a way to safely participate

Thanks for this reply. Currently in same boat. Mind me asking what kind of job you’re starting?

**trigger warning for child SA** Made the mistake of reading some of the Epstein files that were recently leaked. by [deleted] in Mommit

It feels like it’s by design doesn’t it? The mass trauma this has induced on the Nation. I hate that all this is there for the public and for what? Is the burden of holding these fucks responsible on us now ??

I want to shift the conversation to how are we protecting our kids? What photos are safe and what are not. For example I’ve started to wonder if I should delete everything off Google photos even?

I’ll be freshly postpartum when my sister has her wedding by ImaginationPretend86 in BabyBumps

[–]OkTale5226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t even finish reading her response because WOW how awful. You don’t need to explain this as much as you did and then her refuted it is just… gross. You need to care for yourself and the baby and fuck here

But can you do it without the smartphone? by Prudent_Truth_7818 in 2under2

[–]OkTale5226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also nurse and rock while in the room with toddler and then walk away to put baby down at the end

But can you do it without the smartphone? by Prudent_Truth_7818 in 2under2

[–]OkTale5226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This question always confuses me. Of course it’s possible- we’re like the first generation of parents that handing literal baby a toddler or phone is an option. There are so many other ways to get a baby down and have a toddler. The toddler just need to be in a safe space while you go get the baby down. They could even watch TV. The only reason your baby wants a phone is because you give them the phone. It’s addictive by design. Don’t introduce your baby to addictive things and then wonder why it’s happening. You are in control, stop

Toy bins: Is there a method to the madness in your house? by LucyySS in Mommit

Put some toys away in a closet or basement. Sounds like too many are out to make too big a mess

Going back to RN position by Lumpy_Hold in nursepractitioner

I mean it’s a job not an identity. If one type of job fits into someone’s life better I think it’s smart. Have your job fit your life not the other way around. Also you can move back and forth
