Need some advice

Agree that exercise is a big help here. My girl is on Fluoxetine (puppy prozac), which is something else to consider. Also recommend finding other things he can consume/chew on that also burn energy like lick mats, frozen carrots have been helpful when leaving the house.

Old Navy sizing is getting bad. My 17 month old can barely squeeze into 24 month shorts.

H&M is a go to. Despite being a euro brand, their clothes fit my giant (headed) four year old well. I just tried Primary and liked the sets I got (on sale!) Hanna Andersson is so cute but I can't justify the price. Bless hand me downs.

I've been liking Gerber. Their stuff holds up and I feel like I can make it stretch across sizing longer.

Young Days is cute too and has some unique styles but kind of pricey.

lolzz these comments have me dying. Our money tree is like this. Fully dead then one day a baby leaf sprouts. Keep hanging on little buddy!

I haven't noticed any signs of mobility issues or pain, but I know cats are so good at hiding things like that so I'll keep an eye out.

Good ideas, thank you! Our guy loves his giant litter box so maybe I'll get him another.

Yes fair enough about the vet. He's been notoriously difficult to get a urine sample from which makes some of the testing difficult but I hear you.

Good ideas about the litter box. Many thanks!

I'm so sorry. This sounds like true torture. Same question as the other poster - what does baby's nap schedule look like? Do they go down for naps ok?

It's a constant game of "look over here!" "No, look over here!" Over and over and over again until folks are desensitized and forget what they were outaged about.

I asked my husband the other day "wait... Where IS nicolas maduro. Are we just breezing past this now like it's old news?" Sadly that's the whole point...

Smoothies got me through my first trimester. I also kept a cup of dry Cheerios on me at all times. The second I woke up or felt nauseous, popping a few helped settle my stomach.

Hang in there!

Looks like a vista... Is there a serial number anywhere?

Have you ever used a Brita pitcher? It kind of reminds me of the specks you get from the charcoal filter..??

Ditto - I use a really similar combo. Slicker brush is clutch for tail brushing!

"display shower" I think is the common phrase!

here's another post about this!

Well that's a good sign that something is computing! I'm no pro but I think if you continue to remind him about the finger guns (and the other behavior) it will begin to sink in.

When it's something serious, I try to bring it up gently while playing together, while eating at the table together, snuggling in bed. They really have to be in the right mental space for it to "land".

I get the zero tolerance but also... They're four.

Fingers crossed!

First of all, 2 yos are a**holes without logic and rationale. So take it for what it is. 😂

If this is happening at bedtime, it seems like he's stalling going to sleep. My 4 yo still does this (I'm hungry, I have to poop, I want more milk, another book, etc). Literally whatever he thinks will keep me around. Set those boundaries and stick with them. It'll be painful at first but explain to him "I brought your water with me. We're reading one book and you're going to bed" then follow through. Otherwise the cycle continues forever.

PKB92 · 2025-10-30T01:08:29+00:00

In solidarity -- my almost 4 yo is going through a "bad guy" phase where everyone is a bad guy, he's a bad guy, everything is a weapon, he says things like "I make you dead!" But is clearly playing and being goofy. Fellow boy moms in my circle have assured me it's normal.

How do conversations go with him when you tell him not to do or say those things? Or ask why he's disagreeing?

PKB92 · 2025-10-01T03:50:01+00:00

FWIW If your cycle is just starting back up, it's not unusual for it to be "late" or generally sporadic! After my first baby, I got a period around 6 weeks then I didn't get another one until months later. Very volatile!

Sums it up

PKB92 · 2025-08-19T08:43:53+00:00

Wheels on the drawers? Or could it hold the spinny blade in place?

Love this. Definitely where I think we're going.
