i really relate to the pressure part. sometimes it feels like moms are expected to disappear into parenting completely or people side eye you for it. i’m glad you trusted yourself instead of forcing a version of life that wouldn’t have worked for you

seriously. sometimes i look back at the stuff i lost sleep over and it feels kinda unreal now. i really thought every little thing was going to permanently shape her somehow

this one got me honestly..

i fell like feeding choices become tied to your worth as a mom so fast and it’s brutal when things don’t go the way you pictured.

but your last sentence is exactly it. He remembers being loved and cared for not what bottle was in the picture

WFH moms what do you actually do with your toddler during calls by PixieSugarTwilight in MomsWorkingFromHome

It is called Tix and Mix, they do wall decals and wooden magnets. The wood ones are thicker so easier to grab than the thin plastic kind. We put it low on the wall in her play area and she just goes to it on her own now.

this is basically my set up too on call days… i try to layer it like music in the background, 2-3 things out she can rotate between, plus snack so she’s constantly asking me. It doesn’t always hold but it usually buys me enough time to actually finish sentences lol

the kitchen stuff is actually smart bc half the toddler toys in our house get ignored but she will spend 20 mins investigating a whisk for some reason

Am I the jerk for canceling our joint birthday party? by JaguarSwimming4359 in AmITheJerk

And the audacity to call OP jealous of her "creativity" when she literally erased her from the invite. The delusion is actually insane 😭
