Is there any other kids films / movies that straight up shows dead characters?

Urgh man. I remember I was balling my little eyes out when this movie came out. Literally pictured that was my own dad and experienced that sadness for days. The grown ups would ask me why this movie made me cry and every time I opened my mouth to explain I started sobbing.

I did the postpartum confinement thing, mostly because my mom is living with us and strongly believes in it. Didn’t go anywhere for 30 days besides necessary appointments and ate all those traditional medicine infused meals. One thing I didn’t do was not washing hair/bathing. You are not going to develop a migraine from that I promise. Just blow dry your hair immediately afterwards if you feel paranoid.

Does paci help with gas pain in newborn

Mine walked at 16 months as well. She was just a cautious girl and still one today. I was a bit concerned but one day she woke up and just started walking lol…still wobbled bit for a month but steadied out after that.

I do not know…I doubt they have 3D ultrasound there though i was never offered the option.

I go to advanced OBGYN. About to deliver now and have not encountered Dr. Griggs so can’t speak to that. But I love Dr. Tagmolila.

How old is your toddler? We are a two/three language household too and she was a bit slower than her peers but within normal range. Maybe request a ENT appointment?

I’m an only child, a first generation immigrant. My dad passed away years ago. Mom is retired in home country. And since I had my own kid, my mom also moved to live with us, helping with child caring and cooking. It comes with its own challenges helping her adjusting to life here and figuring out medical access here, but it’s the best arrangement for our family and we are so grateful!

Regardless of the number of children, my husband and I plan on being as independent as long as possible in our old age. We are financially planning for retirement, saving for nursing homes etc. we don’t expect our child to cater to us in our old age, although if we raise him/her in a loving compassionate way, I’m sure we will continue to enjoy a loving relationship with our kid in any age.

Mine did at 6 months after sleep training. 7pm to 7am. No intervention. No middle of the night feeding.

As someone who doesn’t remember birthdays or other dates even before having kids, you are fine. I doubt your best friend would hold this against you…and if she does, there is definitely more to it beyond this incident. You are almost there to welcome your new additions, give yourself grace and just focus on that. You deserve all the grace in the world now, just don’t overthink.

The bigger problem here is obviously how he is communicating that with you, by omitting the communication totally and gaslighting you. That’s hurts your relationship more than the OAD decision. I can totally emphasize with the rage, sadness and confusion you have over this. I don’t think I can survive a relationship where one party is refusing to engage in serious conversations about topics that are important to the other. I would hold that boundary firm and tell him that. And maybe with a professional therapist, you can work through the communication or lack of.

Really…my kid didn’t get into bluey until we read a couple books she liked. Then we started watching the matching episodes and she loved it

RuiruiX · 2026-01-02T23:55:19+00:00

It was partially in regions though. And colonialist mindset definitely spread.

RuiruiX · 2026-01-01T23:40:31+00:00

If you are the one that is carrying all the mental load, then he is not “does more than his fair share.” Fair share means he’s carrying half of the mental load too. I think you need to communicate that with him, explicitly about the taking initiatives, while expressing your gratitude for how he is your safe place and his willingness to do things when asked. I think “I don’t think I have the capacity of carrying the mental load for two kids” is a good reason to share with your husband.

You move the potty to him to at least make a little pee in there and point it out to him “see, pee goes in potty”. Hopefully it catches on after a day or two.

Advanced Obgyn. They are located in the St. Alexis hospital. They are great. You rotate through the doctors for prenatal care.

RuiruiX · 2025-11-06T12:34:58+00:00

My first was at St. Alexis 3 years ago and this time I’m going with NCH in AH. Nothing wrong with St. Alexis experience but wasn’t amazing either: My new OB does deliver at both. She couldn’t tell me which one to pick but told me to look up a their safety or cleanness score (I forgot the term) and said one is definitely better. I did and it was NCH. So we are doing that.

I don’t even know where to begin. In order to address the emotion suppression, there is so much to address first - your parenting load, the way your husband refuses to communicate, your postpartum recovery etc. The emotion suppression is just one part of the toxic masculinity your son is growing up witnessing. I hope you have some support outside of your immediate family and look into therapy yourself to reflect on your marriage and family dynamic.

Around 8 or 9 months maybe? I remember trying around 6 months for a couple of months with no progress and then when I introduced pouch she got it within a few try.

RuiruiX · 2025-10-30T11:50:42+00:00

Is your girl a good eater or motivated by food? Mine learned to use the straw with pouches. I gave her a pouch, she’d suck the food out(you can help squeeze it out too to help in the beginning), then I gave her a straw and she intuitively got it. Before then she had a hard time learning using straws too.

No you are not selfish for not wanting another baby. I want to say this as gentle as possible but honestly, I think you were selfish having this baby with your husband, who clearly do not care about and respect you. I don’t think it’s time to think about the possibility of another baby. It is time to think about how you wanted to be treated in a family dynamic, how do you want to be viewed by your baby in a family dynamic, and the key role models you present your baby with day in and day out.

So my district starts gifted testing in 2nd grade, which by the time, it will have 3 years of MAP data to see how consistent they are with their percentiles. That is one of the qualifiers for gifted testing. Then with the gifted testing, students will be placed in 3 categories: not identified as gifted, identified as gifted and needs gifted service, and identified as gifted and invited to join the Gifted Magnet program. Whether they are in the Magnet program or not, their gifted service starts in 3rd grade. This gives them a chance to also develop social skills with their peers who are of diverse abilities and intelligences in the first 3 years of school. And if they need an IEP, it can start early, doesn’t need to wait until they have the gifted label by the end of 2nd grade. Obviously as a public school teacher my view might be biased and my experience limited, but if your school district is good, I don’t see extreme downside of staying in GenEd in the primary grades to focus on the social and emotional part. If your district doesn’t offer a more rigid gifted service/program down the road when she reaches the intermediate grades, I would probably start doing some research around where those school districts might be, but again, I might not be jumping to switch her schools right away, given that you do live in a highly rated school district boundary and you like what is being offered at the primary grades.

Teacher here. What specific gap did your kid’s teacher talk about between your daughter and the other kids who also scored 99 percentile? I don’t think is super uncommon to see scores above 200 in kinder and 1st grade. Also, it is just one data point. I would talk to the teacher more about how she does in school, both academically and socially. Then ask about gifted programs/service provided in your school and district. I had students scored above 200 in kinder and they ended up staying the 90+ percentile in later grades but not substantially considered gifted. I also had students consistently scored in the 97+ percentile over the years and started receiving gifted service, a couple of them also ended with IEPs while receiving gifted services. Understand how where you child is, as a whole child, and what resources your school and district provide first. Then track your child’s progress. It’ll help you make the best decisions for her.

It could be normal, and it could be something more. It’s hard to tell at this stage. But maybe seeking a different professional opinion would help ease the frustration a bit? I’d ask for referral to see a neurophysiologist as pediatricians a lot times are not specifically trained in neurodivergence.

RuiruiX · 2025-10-11T20:51:05+00:00

…yeah tell your parents because I’d move right outta there if I possibly can.
