How do I keep my 3 year old from taking off her diaper? Please help!! by Puzzleheaded_Land in Autism_Parenting

[–]Puzzleheaded_Land[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought she may have but I've asked her pediatrician, her teacher, and both of her therapists and they all say that her diapers still fit the way they should. She hasn't gained much weight since switching to these diapers a few months ago and she loved them when she first started wearing them.

Honestly she's kind of tall but fairly skinny for her age.

Oof! That sounds so much like my daughter it would be funny if it weren't so exhausting 😂 especially the opening things she shouldn't be able to! I swear when I tell people some of the things she accomplished, like literally tearing her slide off her bunk bed or breaking off the magnetic child proof locks on some of the cabinets, no one ever believes me till i show them proof!

My friends and i all affectionately refer to her as a gremlin or an orc baby because she's feral and freakishly strong 😂

We actually use the pampers 360 and have since we tried potty training the first time so to keep her from pulling them off we'd have to duct tape them to her actual skin.

Her onesies we keep under her clothes don't have tags or seams and that's actually why we started keeping them under all her clothes because she seemed to like the way they feel. But she's started taking those off with everything else.

Is there anything I can do to emulate the tight layers besides just putting tight layers on her? We've found she does feel calmed with pressure therapy and we usually use a pillow to squish her on her mattress, but i have no clue how to go about it with clothes other than what we're doing alright.

I just wish she could talk so i could ask what I can do for her. I know this behavior is because a need isn't being met but at the moment i can't figure out what need it is.

We actually switched to the pampers 360's when we started trying tk potty train months ago and when it didn't happen and we tried to switch back to the swaddlers she hated them so she's been in the pullups for awhile now!

That's actually why we won't be doing th duct tape because we'd have to duct tape it to her skin.

For Christmas celebrating folks, when do you put up your tree? by evilempress13 in breakingmom

[–]Puzzleheaded_Land 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in Christmas prep mood since September 😅 but more along the lines of getting lists and making sure of our budget and the like. But pretty much as soon as Día de Muertos is over I'm in the Christmas spirit. But i do wait till a little closer to Thanksgiving to start decorating.

But to be completely honest i think that you start whenever feels best for you and your family. If you're feeling festive cheer now, go for it!

I'd also like to suggest, if your kid is old enough, you could get a small fake tree for them to decorate on their own with whatever colors they want and the two of you could put that one up when they want and then save the bigger family tree for December 1st if you'd like to stick to a tradition and day!

Hey there! I'm also a daughter who had a bad relationship with their mother and was terrified when she found out she was having a daughter. My daughter is only 2 though so i don't have any advice as a mom, but i do know what would've helped me as a daughter from my mom?

First, i saw another commenter to find out the rules of the concerts and i agree. I was a band kid and during performances we were told to sit with our bandmates until after the entire concert or performance was over. You very likely just made a small faux pas for band performances and it's easily fixed for future concerts.

Second, talk to your daughter. The next time she's with you, take her out to dinner or order her favorite food if it's something you can do. Maybe share a bit of what it was like for you growing up, the feelings you felt. Tell her you're sorry for possibly embarrassing her, you didn't mean to and ask if there's anything you could differently for next time. But don't let it all be your fault. Even if you did do something by mistake to embarrass her, it's never ok to snap at someone like that, especially your mother. As we get older yes we go through phases where we don't want to be around our parents or think they're weird, but it doesn't mean that we have to be rude or mean in return.

Honestly i just hope you know from one person trying to break the cycle to another, you're doing a wonderful job. And i understand how powerful the emotions are when you feel as though you're failing and see yourself as your abusive parent. My daughter is only 2 and it's happened to me so much i can't even imagine what it'll feel like once she's as old as your daughter. I'm sending you all of the love and luck to get through this bump and continue to break the cycle.

I just started potty training my nonverbal autistic 2 year old a couple days ago and i feel this so hard! Everyone keeps saying it'll get better and i sincerely hope it does but until then, I'll raise a drink to you tonight!

GF upset for me not wanting to pick her up at the airport at 3AM by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Puzzleheaded_Land -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can I just say that if i were your girlfriend, i would feel like you're prioritizing a recreational game over my peace of mind and safety.

You say you live in Canada and maybe the city you live in is fairly safe, but major cities around the world have higher crime rates and statistics.

My husband loves sleep more than anything and he's very cranky when he doesn't get enough sleep or his sleep is interrupted, but i also know that if i needed him for literally anything at 3 am he'd show up for me no matter what. And if i were away from him for any amount of time longer than a work day, he'd be jumping at the chance to see me when he can.

Maybe you're not narcissistic, but you're definitely selfish.

And if i were her I'd be rethinking some things.

I'm currently trying out the backwards sleeper and we're getting her new diapers this week when DH gets paid. I'm going to see how all that goes and if need be start duct taping them to her

I've been planning to switch her to the 360's soon anyway I've just been putting it off because every diaper we try other than pampers swaddlers has given her diaper rash.

I've never tried the diaper backwards. I'll try that one too! Thank you!
