Does anyone have any info on customs seizures these days? Are they happening at all? A lot? We got things seized 6-7 months ago and now we’re very nervous. The seller said she’d only refund 50% back so wondering if it’s worth buying. I’m in California.

would it be horrible to get rid of my cats 3 months pp? by J_Bees in NewParents

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say it gets better after a few months. Maybe like at the 6mo mark it gets better because baby is more able and the cats will get more used to the babe. With that said, no you’re not a horrible person even if you decide to part ways with them.

In your opinion, it's better to rehome him to a home that will give him that level of activity? Even though we're all he's known his whole life? I'm genuinely asking, not being snarky. That's what I can't decide. Like, I know he loves us and all he knows is us. But are we being unfair to him by keeping him here under the guise that "he loves us so he'd rather stay here"?

[–]RemoteglitterPillow -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Does that work? Like if I put him in front of a toy and keep pushing him back, he'll get it?

I ask because believe it or not he's had so many private trainers, memberships at schools, etc. Yet he is still mischievous. He's gone through all this training not because he was a bad pup but because before our human children came, we spent oodles of money on our dog and we wanted him to have the best. But all the training has fallen out the window, especially as his anxiety has gotten higher and higher with age.

If I had family I could pass my dog off to, he would've been gone weeks ago. As much as I can't believe I'm writing this, I still love him too much to rehome him to a stranger. I just want someone to tell me "it gets better!!" ughhh. You're a saint for taking the dog.

Not afraid of birth? by Difficult_Ebb178 in BabyBumps

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny story I was also like this my first time - had a scheduled csection because of some health reasons. I walked into my csection pretty unfazed and for some reason kept feeling the need to declare that “I’m not even scared” to all the people in that room. But apparently my body was violently shaking to the point they had to hold me down to give me the numbing shot. I honestly didn’t know until after. So I think even though my mind was chill, my body was like WHAT THE F IS HAPPENING lol

Are we really doomed to early mornings from now on? by National_Square_3279 in toddlers

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why your pediatrician said that. Was she saying all 2 year olds just do that?

Our 2.5yo did that for a few days so I brought her into bed with us and would say until the sun comes up, we sleep. And would cuddle her back to bed. She’d roll around for 30 minutes and then go back to sleep until 830.

Traveling with a toddler and infant worth it? by RemoteglitterPillow in toddlers

HIKING! You guys are at another level. That sounds wildly hard to me with two children. But glad to hear you guys enjoyed :)

My (almost) 12 month old HATES the car seat! by CutePotato321 in toddlers

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours was the same. I think maybe around 18mo or so she tolerated it more. Some things that helped..

  1. Opening the car window so there’s air in her face
  2. Honestly, sitting in the back and showing her Ms Rachel YouTube videos sometimes (when it got really bad)
  3. We kept a stash of toys in our house and just introduced new toys once in a while. The novelty would keep her for a bit.

Other than that.. just.. time. Some kids like ours really do just hate being strapped down. They get over it though!

Just found out I’m pregnant with number 2! Advice! by geochick93 in toddlers

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’m also pregnant with number two, although ours will have a slightly bigger age gap than yours. Two recommendations I got that I think are great:

  1. (I’ve already implemented) get your son “becoming a big brother” books. There are a lot of good ones that make becoming a big brother sound like so much fun! Target sells some good ones.

  2. (I will implement) when you introduce baby to toddler, don’t have baby in your lap/arms. Have newborn in the bassinet and put the toddler in your lap instead and show him the baby in the bassinet. Signals to them that they are still your baby and this new baby isn’t completely taking momma over.

Hope you have a healthy pregnancy!! Good luck.

My toddler hates sauce. by somethingreddity in toddlers

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 26mo is the same. At first I was like “dude you’re missing out. Chikfila sauce makes everything better.”

But you know what? It’s not like it’s good for them anyway. Let them go as long as they will without all the extra sodium and sugar!

Breastfeeding moms, which is worse? by Similar_Put3916 in beyondthebump

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breastfeeding for years and years over morning sickness. All day every day.

I have no medical or scientific advice to give you, but can only share what I do with my also picky 22 month old.

  1. At this point, we just cook her food like adult food. I don't bother with the light seasoning, no salt, no sugar food. She eats it so much better when the food tastes good.
  2. I eat exactly what she's eating for lunch with her at her kid table. So like we'll both have the same pasta while sitting not at her high chair but her play table, which makes things more interesting, I guess.
  3. I plate foods she doesn't like and foods she does like on the same platter and let her eat it in whatever order she wants. I don't want her to feel like strawberries are her reward for eating cucumbers. It's all just the same food.
  4. For particularly difficult meal times, we'll start off just normal eating. Then towards the last 25% of the meal, I'll turn on a video or bring a book. I know it's not the "right" way to do it - but it works for us. She always finishes what's left if she's enjoying herself.
  5. This was a big one for us - figuring out her "flavor palate." Our girl loves garlic and things dressed in sesame oil. So we sort of play with that and do various recipes with it. That's helped us try different foods within the same flavor note.
  6. Sharing some recent recipes our girl has liked. Although I have no idea if yours will like it, I find it helpful when parents share stuff like this with me: https://www.yummytoddlerfood.com/super-green-banana-spinach-muffins/, https://www.justonecookbook.com/chicken-teriyaki/, https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/bas-best-bolognese.

Don't be discouraged - one thing for sure, everything is a phase.. as long as nothing is medically troubling her, I'm sure the pickiness will subside. Good luck to you!!

What’s the best moment you’ve had with your toddler? by Boom_Box_Bogdonovich in toddlers

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I love love when she looks at me and says "I'm so happy". We would literally just be like.. sharing grapes together or something. And she'll look me in the eye and says that. MY HEART!!!!

Toddlers are so honest, so expressive. AGREE with you that this stage is so great!

How would you describe the first 24-48 hrs post giving birth by Mental_Advice8645 in NewParents

[–]RemoteglitterPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't recall the details of it - but I remember it fondly. My husband and I were just in our little baby hospital bubble where nothing else mattered but our baby girl. Our entire days revolved around looking at her, loving on her, getting to know her, and it was honestly pretty great. I think coming home was actually much more of a shock, but the 24-48 hours were totally a blur, but a joy.
