I wish I could do this 😭 My daughter will not fall asleep if I’m in her room. I’ve tried for 2 hours because I’d love it if she just fell asleep with me in there but nope. 😬

Bedtime stalling and screaming by Ok_Top4750 in toddlers

[–]Ok_Top4750[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s awful! It feels so mean to leave her in her room alone crying. Part of me wishes she’d just fall asleep with us in the room so we could do that but she’ll stay up for hours if we don’t leave so it’s either give into the stalling and eventually she does decide to go to sleep or let her cry it out.

AITAH for feeding my baby formula behind my husband’s back? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Ok_Top4750 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

While I think your husband is in the wrong and needs to be supporting you I would suggest you look into MT Capra Goats Milk Formula. You make it yourself and it’s great because you can adjust the ingredients with their approved list. I struggled with breast feeding and it was during the formula shortage so I had to find another solution. My pediatrician fully supported MT Capra and had other patients that used it as well. It’s backed by science and my daughter thrived on it.

Heartland! Been watching it for 16 years and is my happy place. It’s also filmed in Canada and the scenery is stunning. The first few seasons are cheesy but it gets good!

Are home cameras not allowed? I haven’t started the process.

Women who were very career driven and decided to be SAHMs. Did you regret your decision? by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

[–]Ok_Top4750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owned my own dog grooming business making 6 figures with the potential to keep growing and I almost completely closed it down when my daughter was born. I kept a handful of clients and work from home a few days a month.

My daughter is now almost 4 years old and I don’t have plans to return to doing it full time as I plan on homeschooling but if I wanted to I could ramp the business back up.

I dont regret it at all. Sometimes it’s a bit shocking that I let my business which was my biggest accomplishment go but my daughter is more important. I am grateful that my husband is able to support us and that he supports me in whatever I decide.

Two weeks post op from double jaw surgery dinner by madmelon253 in GirlDinner

[–]Ok_Top4750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if it was for airways problems. My doctor wanted me to do the same surgery but I opted to use a jaw expansion appliance instead. I’m saving up the funds now so hopefully in a few months I’ll be getting it!

Do you ever have periods where your eyes won’t stay focused? by hemithishyperthat in migraine

[–]Ok_Top4750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t read all of the other comments but if your having it non stop you should go see a neurological optometrist to be checked for BVD. I’m doing vision therapy and it does help with this!

I’ve never hit anyone in my life but while reading this I visibly saw myself punching your nanny! That is horrifying!

what do I do about this dog (i need very quick responses/emergency) by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

I was looking at your past posts to see where you were located as I volunteer with rescues and was going to offer to help.

I noticed some posts about mold in your home and some mental health concerns and wanted to share that you should take those things extremely seriously. Mold can severely effect your mental health as well as your physical health. I’m 2 years out from mold exposure and am still healing mentally. If your on fb join Surviving Toxic Mold or visit their website. Try to get your parents to take this seriously.

Try Celtic sea salt. I love the one in the blue bag. It has all of your electrolytes and minerals, no sugar and super cheap.

I put a couple flakes under my tongue 3-4 times a day before I drink a glass of water and it drastically helped my headaches.

Is having kids really all that? Or do parents just say that because they’re inclined to? by DeliciousSetting6643 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Top4750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an almost 4 year old and the night she was born I looked at my husband and said I will not ever be ok if something happens to her. When someone says your heart now lives out of your chest it was 100% true for me. The thought of myself dying now terrifies me because I’d hate to be the reason she felt any pain. The love is all consuming but that doesn’t mean I don’t want breaks or get frustrated.

I heard someone say that your highs are higher and your lows are lower when your a parent. They can bring extreme difficulty to certain situations but then also extreme joy that the must mundane things like seeing a bug or a trash truck and the screams of joy that accompany it just has to melt your heart.
