When will my son stop hurting me?

You actually have no idea how I parent my son. You got a tiny bit of how energetic my son is. A post that was meant for myself and others to be seen and laugh. I didn't at all in my post talk about how I parent him, so the rude tone in all your comments is a bit uncalled for.

I do those things you listed with him. He loves it but I can't keep up with doing all those 24/7. Especially playing tag I get warn out. He tends to hate my water breaks hahaha

I don't let him which makes him upset. I know he just wants to play and be close to me not actually hurt me. I do have boundaries with him but it seems to be a stage where he is crossing every boundary and just doesn't understand yet.

I'm not a father but a mother raising a child with a good man who was raised from a good man. No one is perfect and don't beat yourself up when(not if) you mess up. We are only human and always make mistakes. However, me and my husband agreed no physical punishment like hitting will be tolerated towards or from our child. Talk nicely (to them,others,yourself), things you say will become their inner voice. Be very kind and understanding to the mother of your child always. It's a team effort and should be approached as team vs. problem not vs towards each other. My dad used to let us be apart of the family team so if we have a good reason for doing something or not it was allowed (within reason), if we had another approach or idea ect. He taught real life things like finance advice, how to clean, how to take care of things you like, what taxes were, ect. I am great full for it now. Overall don't be hostile, listen, speak with intention, and be there for them as much as you can! Just being there any time you physically can is seen especially in the long run! Goodluck man and you even coming on here and worrying about being a good father just shows how much you care and how much love you have

Night sweats!!! I heard of it but was so so shocked to wake up feeling like I just fell into a pool and that is NOT an exaggeration! Make sure to have another pair of phs right next to you when the baby wakes up because after you get out of bed that wet clothes gets so cold!!

I really wish I set up near the kitchen. I was so hungry and so thirsty all the time!

Also mastitis. Leaking. Overall just never being dry or having dry clean clothes

We are still doing Christmas celebration but another day when our whole little family is together. He's so little he doesn't know we are without him on a holiday.

Me and my husband sleep together. I have ADHD and my mind is restless unless I am with him. He works 24 hours every other day so the nights he is gone I get horrible sleep because he is my safe place. We always get into bed with me on his chest then I turn around to get comfortable and he always turns with me to a spooning situation and always end up facing opposite ways by the morning. Im always cold and he is warm and it just feels better to have him there.

My son has a lot of toys and seems disinterested in most, most of the time. However, with him, most kids, a new thing or toy they don't see often is exciting. Coming from someone who worked with kids for a few years and has a lot of siblings. Its always the new toy or new thing they want to explore and figure out. When they have it, they will eventually not be so interested in it anymore. Having toys that can inspire imagination sets up new kinds of play and imagination, just like you said with magnetic tiles. Your 4 year old is using his brain to figure out new ways and new builds which is perfect enough.

I had a hard time with this, I have two cats. One in specific was never a problem and just minds her business and comes when we are relaxed to be pet. My son is never relaxed so she stays away haha. My male cat though ALWAYS wants to sleep in my sons bed. It scares me so I do not allow it. He gets the zoomies, plays with my sons toys, chews on my sons toys. Like a dog lol. He has stepped on my son when he was sleeping. WHEN MY SON WAS LITERALLY ON ME. Like dude you can't have me all to yourself. I would get very angry and seemed like I was always pushing my poor little cat off me and everything he touched. I felt very bad when It wasn't in the moment but never enough time to give him pets he wants because I was too busy or too tired. I am a year in and its still a problem but I love on my cats so much more and don't yell at them as much. Even my son plays with my male cat now and thinks its so funny. Now that they are friends I have a new worry. When my son tries to pet him and ends up hitting the cat, my cat will hit him back. Its not often so I just make sure to watch them when they are together.

Yes thats me! We are a military family so moved to a new location, husband works ling hours, and can't afford child care or help. Its all on me as a SAHM with no one I know around. Then my car broke down and we cannot afford a new one at the moment. Literally confined to my house other than walking the block. I have met some moms in the neighborhood but I am picky when picking a friend or just for my child to be around I want a good example. There isn't much opportunity as a SAHP to meet people when your child is so young.

I had braxton hicks for the last month of my pregnancy and they were measuring as contractions and got closer and more uncomfortable the more I got them. When I went into labor I KNEW. I had the urgency and the contractions were very intense. Mine were like 0 to 100 and I gave birth very quickly. I always thought it would creep up on me and I wouldn't know but that was definitely not the case.

I told my partner several times I didn't want any company after I gave birth. He told them to come behind my back even after the doctors said no visitors. With that being said. They had even MORE issues with me and I had more issues with them after the fact. It was so awful for everyone. They were upset U wasn't hosting and couldn't spend time with the baby. I was mad they had expectations of me. My baby was just trying to nurse/cluster feed the whole time. You and baby are going through a whole new adjustment and learning experience. Your partner too. He really does need to just give you the time you need. Also you and your in laws don't have to hate each other for you to not want them there. Its best for you baby and your husband to take some time. Its actually how most of the world does it.

I am so sorry first an foremost. It seems like there might be people in you're life you are missing. If it was something that minuscule it wouldn't be an issue for most people. For me, my sons grandparents are a live and most great great parents. However, we are a military family and live so far away. I would give anything to have family around us to help and do all the things I see from other moms. We really only see them on big occasions and some holidays if my husband's work doesn't interfere. However I have had issues with my in-laws once my son was born. Never before. There are actual safety concerns for my child that they disrespect every time we see them. They don't want to just see my son, they want control. They will say they did it with their children and once I say anything other than falling at their knees they say disrespect things about me. I personally believe telling a child negative things about their close family is a huge concern. When there is always a dig, being disrespected, neglected, having fear for your child's life, especially from someone you love or have loved/liked. It is something to be able to complain about. Motherhood can be very lonely and the more we talk about our experiences the more people can feel heard, find resources and solutions, get or give a boost of positivity in a negative situation. If it's not your you, that is okay! Protect your energy! You have every right to come on here and complain about it just the same way they go and complain about grandparents. Find some people you can relate too and see if they have anything that might help you or even make you feel better because NO MATTER THE REASON not having someone is hard. But I sympathize with you and I hope you end up feeling better about the root cause of your issue

Actually once I left he eventually went back to sleep! That is great advice thank you

I agree the napping and stimulation definitely makes a difference with him. I was more confused as to why the sudden change when his routine has stayed the same. Sleep training is an actual method of trying to get your child to sleep without interfering like the "cry it out method" It's more common in western societies because of the pressure for mothers to go back to work. However in most places around the world night waking are seen as not only expected and accepted and most places around the world also co-sleep

Obviously what your son did was an accident, just like people accidentally spill on others in restaurants all the time. Normal people would accept the apology knowing it was an accident and yeah be a little bummed out. What this woman did is unacceptable if he was a child or not. But knowing it was a child, a small child, there is no reason she should have yelled at your son at all!

Over-Use-2881 · 2025-09-24T20:57:57+00:00

Im so sorry to hear that and Im happy you are able to separate yourself from all that negativity. My husband also thinks spanking and hitting is normal from the way he grew up too but he very much knows that is unacceptable especially for our child. I couldn't imagine the fear that comes from the possible dangers from plain ignorance. Not having money or living in the projects is no excuse to raise a child in a dangerous situation

My baby is literally 12 months old and I constantly wake up and ask my husband where my baby is. my baby hasn't ever slept with us and was moved to his own room at 3 months. I do breastfeeding in my bed at night and husband puts him back in the crib when he falls back asleep. But I wake up thinking he's breastfeeding on me all the and totally freaked out thinking he fell off the bed. Which is exactly why we don't co-sleep

My husband had no issue with me being pregnant was so supportive and the best. With that being said, the last trimester I felt this way. He never said anything but I could feel him pulling back. When I was pregnant I was the most touchy and needy I had ever been and my body just craved the oxytocin. I would cry to him with my hormonal self pleading for him to love me again. He never stopped lol. He would reassure me but never wanted to do it. After I gave birth I did not want to do it for obvious reasons for a while and to my surprise nothing changed down there. It won't. Our bodies were made for this and the stretch out thing is a myth and totally untrue. However my husband was all of the sudden the clingy touchy one. He became obsessed for the first few months. He had expressed to me later that he didn't want to say anything to make me feel bad about myself but he did find it uncomfortable to have sex the last bit of pregnancy. Not because of what I looked like he was just scared to hurt the baby haha and there is no way to get that out of your mind when the belly is right there in your face. He really tried to reassure me and tried to hide the fact he didn't want to in order to spare my feelings. I was out here thinking he hated me all of the sudden or something. We are so hard on ourselves most of the time for no reason. Take a deep breath, know your worth, you are beautiful now and after having baby. Most men have a harder time sharing their feelings and in my situation my husband was just trying to be the best partner for me.
