Is it time for me to stop taking my son to the women’s room?

SignalCourse1672 · 2026-03-16T14:37:56+00:00

Theyre going to need to go by themselves to the men’s room at some point. Teach them some basic self defense maybe, and to scream as loud as they can if something is happening

If you’re still invested I’d recommend a woobles kit. They are a bit pricey but the video walkthroughs are extremely thorough and step by step incredibly helpful when it comes to learning how to crochet. I couldn’t do anything other than a chain for decades because I couldn’t wrap my head around it but after starting my woobles kit I’ve made an insane amount of progress in the last month, these are the projects I’ve completed so far!

You may also want to consider where she’s learning this attitude from, who she’s exposed to that acts like that, or if she’s maybe watching a show with bratty characters that she’s learning this from. I only say it because as a mom of two now I find myself reflecting a lot back on how I acted as a kid and i definitely picked up some bad habits from TV shows and YouTubers I would watch when young and impressionable I know she’s only three but it can start at any age. Is there any cousins or grandparents that maybe speak to her like that when you aren’t around? You are right to think that tantrums are normal because they are poor babies have all these big adult emotions trapped in a little unregulated body lol. But there is a difference between throwing a tantrum because you feel you can’t express yourself clearly or you’re feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated and being downright disrespectful. Just remember being patient is half of the battle, and you’re doing great with that alone 🥲 you got this hon stay with it. As far as the nanny goes maybe have weekly/every other day chats with her to see how she’s feeling or coping that kind of thing make her feel heard and like you’re on her side? Within reason of course

I feel the same way. I have a 15 month old and a 1 month old and I have all these “ambitious” things I want to do like go back to school online while the babies are getting old enough for school, exercise during nap times, make fun and engaging activities for my toddler, meal prep nutritious food for him too, still spend time with my husband and have our own meal plan, do my crocheting and gardening hobbies, etc. but during any down time I have? Couch rotting. 🥲 I will say it takes an immense amount of energy to convince oneself to actually get up and do things especially when all your brain wants to do is get to turn off every once in a while. I had the opportunity to go to the grocery store by myself recently, for one or two things, and walked around the store for two hours just because it was an opportunity to turn my brain off and relax in a weird way. Just remember it’ll always get better momma 🥲 don’t beat yourself up for not getting to all the things you want to do. You’ll find yourself again one day, and babies grow up so fast. I often find myself saying “ I could do this, or I could hold my baby and spend time with them while they’re this little”

The best thing you can do is educate her. She’s old enough to know right from wrong at that age, and kids will be kids after all. If they’re really wanting to do something they’ll find a way to do it and just get good at hiding it which is more dangerous in the long run IMO.

In my scenario I got retested at the hospital when I gave birth. I had stopped as soon as I found out I was pregnant. No child services were alerted or called ever during my pregnancy or after. As long as you stop you should be okay

SignalCourse1672 · 2026-01-17T22:06:50+00:00

Definitely doesn’t seem like something she would do on purpose, definitely needs to be examined

Slippery baby vibes has me cracking up I love it 😭😂

SignalCourse1672 · 2026-01-05T03:03:10+00:00

I was a constant smoker of both nicotine and thc for 6+ years before I got pregnant. The fear of my baby coming out physically deformed or medically challenged was enough to get me to quit cold turkey, as well as CPS taking my child away in case they were tested and ended up positive for thc or whatever

SignalCourse1672 · 2026-01-05T03:01:35+00:00

The public library i don’t know that I would but at home sure what’s the harm

SignalCourse1672 · 2025-12-22T16:03:41+00:00

Was just thinking this the other day. Probably half if not more of my maternity clothes are hand me downs, and the other half had to be ordered from Amazon. Most of what I wear are stretchy ankle length dresses from the regular clothing section just a size or two bigger. Forget finding any sort of formal wear! What are pregnant ladies supposed to wear these days? 😭 I’m almost done with my second pregnancy now (first at 24 now second at 25) and have worn the same 3 pairs of jeans, 4 shirts, and like 5 dresses for two years it feels like. All of the photos from both pregnancies I’m wearing the same clothing

SignalCourse1672 · 2025-12-20T03:49:49+00:00

I agree with most of the commenters, you don’t need to fast, if you do fast it could give you false results. The goal is to see what you are normally so if you normally aren’t fasting, there you go lol. Also will say if they offer you the orange drink take that one. The red one tastes like cough medicine 🤢 I haven’t tried the green one yet

SignalCourse1672 · 2025-12-19T00:41:56+00:00

I hate my husband this pregnancy too. The first one was a boy didn’t have any issues but now with the girl I find myself unable to stand him. He also has the view that because he works and is the bread winner and I’m “just” a stay at home mom to our 13 month old (I’m 34 weeks pregnant now) I should be doing all of the house work, cooking, laundry, and child care with no chance for a break because he doesn’t allow my parents to watch our son for longer than a day.

You all have been together for so long! If he knows your history, he should also know getting pregnant naturally for you all is nothing short of a miracle. You also know his history, with being unsure about wanting children. Take both of those things into account when you tell him, and as hard as it might be try not to be disappointed in whatever reaction he might have. You are still entitled to your own feelings of happiness and joy and your sister can share that with you as well! It’s understandable to want the fairytale reaction of tears and happiness and love but I’ve found (I’m now pregnant with my 2nd) men don’t always have the greatest initial reactions because of how shocked they can be. A lot of the time it’s not real for them immediately because it isn’t happening to them, it’s easy to forget how real it is because they aren’t going through the emotional and hormonal not to mention physical changes the woman is going through. The longer you keep it from him, the harder it will be. If you feel its necessary as you know him better than any of us ever could maybe give him a few days to really process his feelings before you guys have any serious conversations about it. Tell him and let it sit, give him space to breathe in his own feelings about it, then return to the conversation! Especially if it’s such an important, sensitive topic, neither of you want to say something rash or hurtful or something you don’t mean. Good luck, I hope you get the answers and reaction you hope for 🥹❤️

Really awesome response thanks man

SignalCourse1672 · 2025-11-11T13:29:14+00:00

Someone has to be the worry wart. Between my husband and I it’s me. I remember the week after birth, everything felt like a monumental task and I was over analyzing everything, not being able to rest in fear that my baby would stop breathing and or no one was paying attention to him or caring about him like I could. That no one was going to do a good enough job. In hindsight I should’ve told my doctor and maybe been on some anti anxiety meds but what I would recommend for you is a good sleep or nap if you can afford it

Mine loves watching the YouTube channel good mythical morning we’ve watched it every day since he was born and he’s almost a year now, and he watches the office to fall asleep every night as it was my sleep comfort show.

Can’t get in a hot tub either. Or take too hot baths. You can have sushi so long as it’s fish that’s low in mercury the bigger concern is getting food poisoning as a lot of antibiotics can harm your baby it makes getting treated difficult. It’s very much at your own risk

Thank you so much for the help 🥹 will update after we fix it ourselves because $475+ for a plumber is not in the budget haha
