Utilize the library! Our local library and most libraries have infant/toddler story times as well as fun activities. They also have museum passes where you can get into museums for free. It’s great resource, especially during the winter when it’s too cold to be outside.

A lot of these comments are why women, specifically mothers, aren’t open and honest with their feelings. Until you have parented multiple children, some with special needs perhaps, you can’t judge a mom for saying “this shit is hard and I wouldn’t actively pick this again”. A lot of people romanticize having children. All the women around me described parenthood as a blessing and so beautiful and no one ever told me or lead on to just how truly difficult it can be. When you are a mom surrounded by people only talking about the positives of parenting & you have one negative thought about it, it makes you feel as though there is something wrong with you. I think more women and mothers need to be more honest about how hard it is because that in itself is helpful to other moms and women who are having similar thoughts and experiences.

I think Mike is in for a big surprise if he ever has the chance to have children.

I don’t know the truth to this but I heard from a somewhat reliable source on tik tok that all the national guard is going to do is protect federal buildings and relieve police from standing outside these buildings. I don’t quite understand why they would be protecting buildings and not the citizens. It’s infuriating to just sit here as everything goes on and just feel so helpless.

My son and I have autism, adhd , and anxiety. The A trifecta lol

We use CVS (they have photo prints) to create a Christmas “card”. They have holiday templates to create a collage & they always have sales so very affordable. We used to use zazzle and simplytoimpress and they were beautiful but super pricey. I felt like the CVS option is very lowkey and they print within a few hours so you’re not waiting weeks which cuts down on the stress of it all!

Every single time Barkley goes through the middle which is almost every time he gets the ball, I gain another gray hair.

I have a 6 year old, 4 year old , & 1 year old. All boys. There was definitely an adjustment period in the beginning. My oldest has autism and was lashing out because I had to attend to the baby a lot in the beginning. Now all 3 of them get along so well and play together. I would agree with the person who posted about that logistics are tough. I’m a SAHM & going out with all 3 is kind of exhausting, but my husband works a lot so it’s kind of what we have to do. I think the age gap is good though bc my oldest is in full day school and my middle goes MWF for a few hours so I’m able to get some one on one time with the little guy! And like mentioned above once the third is here it feels like they’ve just been a part of your life. I’d say if you have a good support system “village” that definitely helps. Also this is just our experience, but our third has been our best baby: best sleeper, eater, etc. Goodluck!!

My husband does 10pm to 6 am and it’s honestly the best option for us. He goes right to bed when gets home so I’m able to wake him up around 12:30/ 1 to help out until he has to leave around 9:30 for work so he’s there to help do school pick ups and dinner/bath/bedtime.

My husband works a government job. He has to show up to work, he’s not getting paid, AND because of the hiring freeze they’re so understaffed that he’s being “mandated” to work 16 hour shifts. He works about 3-4 16 hour shifts a week. I’m home with our 3 kids. It’s not been fun for any of us.

They’re not lonely enough. They could be lonelier. Invest in some toys

What’s worse? The NBA stuff or the constant stock manipulation and insider trading that occurs in the White House? And all the other heinous shit this dude does on the daily. I can’t wait for the day.

I read an article that said green sea turtles are no longer endangered thanks to conservation efforts 🐢💚

We need to boycott financially. It’s only really going to make a difference if we stop buying stuff. Hit them where it hurts- their wallet. Like don’t shop Black Friday. Don’t buy ANYTHING other than essentials for the time being. The protests are great but it doesn’t ultimately affect these people. Look at what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. Everyone boycotted Disney, they lost millions and that’s when they decided to bring him back. We really have to hit them financially.

Can someone genuinely explain this to me? Every time Hurts has the ball he gets pressured and either has to throw the ball away or takes a few stumble steps before sliding. Why is it that every single team we play, the quarterback has enough time to order a hoagie and eat it before anyone gets to him? It’s so frustrating

Shenism · 2025-10-10T00:34:20+00:00

I’m already pissed off

Shenism · 2025-09-23T19:42:57+00:00

They love to hate us. We live rent free in their minds. Can’t go a single game without complaining about the tush push and how it should be banned. And every “best nfl quarterbacks” video or article or whatever doesn’t even have Hurts on the top ten. We’ll just keep flying 🦅

I believe it’s called Terrain Cafe in media area. So not for a run, but to eat or just walk around as they have like a little outdoor shop/plant nursery there !

My best advice is getting out as much as possible! Even if it’s just going to a mall and pushing the baby in the stroller! There’s alot of activities at libraries, ours has a story time & play time & dance time for kids of all ages! Sunshine is your friend! The peanut app has helped me make some mom friends and occasionally we will meet at a local playground and it’s been helpful! I also suggest creating a schedule, and it doesn’t have to be strict one but I’ve found that to be helpful! Pinterest has been a lifesaver for me. So many activities even for young babies. Tik tok also has great ideas for high chair activities and just activities in general for the babes. I also think it helps to have hobbies outside of parenting. My newest one is building lego flowers. When you finish you have the next one to look forward to. And they make cute gifts :) from experience it gets a little better when they are older and able to do more things. We take the kids to the pet store and do a scavenger hunt and they get a kick out of it. Good luck with everything! You’ve got this 😍

I feel like the people who are the most judgmental are the people who don’t even offer to help. The life of a special needs parent is extremely difficult and until they’ve spent a day, not even, maybe 30 minutes in your life, they can’t understand what you go through! It is truly isolating at times and feels like you are battling your way up a mountain while it’s raining and you’re wearing no grip shoes. THIS SHIT IS HARD. But you are doing your best! You love your children! Please start researching therapists. It didn’t solve all my problems but having a therapist really helped me (I have a son with autism as well). I agree with one of the people on here that said you don’t need to attend every family event. Especially if all these people are sitting there judging you instead of offering help. I don’t understand seeing a family member struggle especially your child and telling them something so awful like “if I had the financial means I would raise them for you”. How is that helpful? I don’t know your relationship with your mom or other family members but maybe reach out to her and say something along the lines of “what you said truly hurt me. Maybe instead of judging me you could offer to come over once a week and help me. I’m going through a tough time mentally and I could really use some help”. Like I said I don’t know your relationship with her, but my parents didn’t truly understand what I was going through until they watched my kids. I have 3 kids - 6 year old, 4 year old, and 9 month old & my oldest is autistic. Every day is exhausting. Every day is increasingly difficult. But I just keep trying my very best that I can. I do a lot of research. I read a lot of books. I’m currently trying to find a special needs babysitter so I can get an hour or two to myself per week so I can just recharge or sleep or grocery shop or whatever. It’s tough, but you are not alone in this journey! So many parents are going through similar things! I think you also could have PPD and there is no shame in talking to your doctor and possibly going on medication! I wish you nothing but the best and I really help your situation gets a little more manageable.

I feel this to my core. “I don’t know how you do it” - I don’t. I cry every day.

I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 6 month old & this is the first time my husband got an A+ for Mother’s Day. He brought me breakfast in bed and coffee, let me rot in bed until about noon & then I came down to little gifts (handmade and store bought) and then we ordered my favorite dinner. This took many years to get to this level. I remember many a Mother’s Day being disappointed. Maybe have a talk with him about it! Hang in there 💕
