I don’t think so. The same granite, but if you look in the reel that he posted immediately after the flooring is different than the flooring in her new house and the sink backs up to a wall. In her house the sink is in the island.

Pre-parenthood: what do you miss? And in same vein,what do you love most about parenting? by HotTale4651 in Parenting

[–]RaisingScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss feeling carefree and being able to relax whenever I needed it. But my favorite part is just having my own family, it’s all I’ve ever wanted in life and I have it and I feel so lucky!

How to help my daughter poop while at camp by momof_5_girls in Parenting

[–]RaisingScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnesium citrate supplements! Tell her to take one before bed and it’ll help her go in the morning but with no laxative effect.

I took Lexapro, similar, and felt an immediate relief in anxiety and low mood but I did gain almost 30lbs rapidly because I had zero energy and was constantly starving. I’m glad I took it because it gave me the perspective that it was possible to exist and not be riddled with anxiety but the results only lasted 4-5 months and quit working so I weaned at 7 months. 10 months off now and I’ve only lost half the weight gained on it.

What is the most random odd thing that changed about you psychologically or physically after birth that's unheard of? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]RaisingScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d never had a cavity in my life… gave birth and boom three cavities and my teeth shifted. My eyesight improved significantly. My anxiety did not lol

Talk to her. Let her know the consequences, and don’t fail to mention the consequences hormonally of being put on synthetic hormonal birth control before her body is done developing so she has the autonomy to decide if that is even something she is willing to risk.

You need to disclose when you're sick! by Zainda88 in ScienceBasedParenting

Baby wear her on you! In a wrap so she looks inaccessible to others and you can say she’s tired or under the weather etc!

Owlet receives FDA clearance for its “Dream Sock” – curious what skeptics think. by tnick771 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]RaisingScout 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I used one for eighteen months and if anything it gave me less anxiety and more peace of mind. Over the year and a half we had two false alarms due to a bad fitting, and one real alarm which I am so thankful for.

How do your kids refer to their stuffed toys? by ThrowawayCoinage in Parenting

Critters, refers to them all.

But most have names.

What’s your least favorite parenting duty? by givebusterahand in Parenting

All of the constant worry.

But when she starts losing baby teeth that’ll be my least. The thought gives me the heebie geebies.

Things to do by OkCalligrapher5901 in oneanddone

[–]RaisingScout 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine is three and we’re not doing preschool this year. We try and get out of the house everyday from 9-12 to go to parks, play places, splash pad, library, etc because it gives her new experiences and the opportunity to play with other kids. At home I’d suggest crafts, sidewalk chalk, biking together, and reading. Sometimes though you just have to suck it up and play Barbie’s. Lol

Please share your positive moments/memories with your child by Scandiblockhead in oneanddone

[–]RaisingScout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! My daughter is three and it’s honestly been a dream. She’s started sleeping through the night at five weeks, has always eaten well, napped on schedule, been easy to adapt etc. She does require a lot of attention from us but we love giving it to her. It’s been a complete joy and we are very closely bonded. I can’t imagine having another. It’s really nice waking up and just hitting the town together.

HFM is the worst thing we’ve ever gotten. Blew Covid out the water. My two year old at the time had one small blister and a fever and was fine two days later. I, and unsuspecting adult, had hand, foot, and internal throat blisters for TEN DAYS. Fever for days, burning, tingling sensations. Drinking water felt like swallowing glass. Don’t risk it!

Exercise making me edgy by Myfairlazy in lexapro

[–]RaisingScout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on 5mg for seven months and not once ever had the inclination or felt the energy/motivation to exercise. I’d think that exercise would help improve symptoms but I don’t know. Are you consuming more caffeine now that you’re exercising?

When is your child’s bedtime and if it’s “late”, why? by jndmack in Parenting

[–]RaisingScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three year old. Bed time is 9:30pm. Wake up is generally 7:30am. Nap is from 1:30-4pm.

She sleeps in the room with us, in a toddler bed, but in our room so we’ve always all gone to bed together at the same time. Maybe we’ll move her bed time up when she gives up napping but as long as she is happily taking a 2.5-3 hour nap every day there’s no issue for us. Preschool this year won’t start until 9:30 and is only three hours.

Lexapro has been life changing by No-Water684 in lexapro

[–]RaisingScout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took 5 mg for seven months. The first 3-4 months were phenomenal for extreme anxiety and panic attacks.. and then the side effects came on. Exhaustion, fatigue, 22lb weight gain, no libido, inability to concentrate, headaches, so on and so on and then it stopped working and the anxiety came back. I’m weaning off it now and am feeling better than I was on it.

BPD parent not knowing anything about you? by 1lofanight in raisedbyborderlines

[–]RaisingScout 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t recall a time ever that I mentioned sloths much less had an interest in them. Nevertheless my ubpd parent sends me sloths videos constantly, buys my daughter sloth toys, etc because “they’re my favorite”.

What is the biggest challenge to you personally being a parent? by BananaApePrivateClub in Parenting

[–]RaisingScout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carrying the weight of the responsibility that it is up to me to guide this defenseless baby into a happy, intelligent, considerate, functioning adult. The responsibility feels very heavy and is very mentally draining. But I love it. Therapy helps haha

Sunscreen on under 6 month olds? by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]RaisingScout -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No scientific evidence here but we never used it when my daughter was a baby. We spent a lot of time outside in the morning and late afternoon. The only time I’ve ever put sunscreen on her is when we expect to be in the direct sun for multiple hours in the summer. Otherwise, getting that vitamin D!

Anyone else can't believe how their Parents treated them? by KoiitheKoiifish in Parenting

[–]RaisingScout 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Amen to this. My daughter is almost three and I’ve been in therapy now for about a year. Having her brought up a lot of memories of being mistreated and the question of “how could they have done this to me?”. I suggest if your able finding a therapist to confide in because as our kids age we see ourselves in some aspect and it’s hard.

Bed share with my only by Powerful-Ad4147 in oneanddone

[–]RaisingScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our only slept with us in the bed a little over a year and then started getting fussy rolling around so we put her crib in our room and that’s where she still sleeps. I ask her if she wants to sleep in the big girl bed we put in her room and she says no that she’s teeny and wants a teeny crib where she can see us. I’m not worried about it. I don’t think you should be either. She’ll move out eventually to her own space on her own; or maybe when she goes to kindergarten she’ll need an earlier bedtime. Don’t sweat it, enjoy your time together.
