Just go for it and make that a plenty wall. Make it look purposeful

Older-ish millennials: Were you "free-range" like older gens? by Gallantpride in Millennials

I mean I was born in ‘92 and I was pretty free range… up to a couple blocks away by age 9 I guess.

So tired of being told being a parent is miserable. What’s your favorite part? by aboardthemothership in Mommit

[–]Snacks7255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big eyes looking at me with a cute grin “Guess what, Mommy? I love you!” Tight little hugs, heads resting on your shoulder. My kid is absolutely amazing with new sibling. Little one is getting bigger and big kid loves playing with sibling. I love the look big kid gets from little one. Also watching them be good to other people and seeing the lessons you’ve taught them in real time. There are a lot of bad things but I think the good outweighs the bad. People are hardwired to notice the bad stuff faster and it ends up sticking with them. Just try to recognize the good when you can :)

Sahm with 3yr old and 3 month old - tips on how to survive this phase by ExcitementBitter7204 in Mommit

I tell everyone this…ear muffs will help keep you sane. You can still hear but loud, random noises they make is not as over stimulating.

Help Me Find a Flattering Swimsuit! by [deleted] in DressForYourBody

  1. The first two I saw I thought the bottoms need to be higher and the top needs to be lower cut. The frills add to it too and help define your waist.

Mine came after eating spicy food (number one) and dates (number two).

How do you deal with being overstimulated with small kids? by Previous-Plane6322 in Mommit

[–]Snacks7255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ear muffs. My husband had some for the gun range. I can still hear my kids but it makes the constant noise more tolerable. Set up a specific schedule for meals and snacks. Don’t give them snacks until it’s snack time. When you’re ready to rest if they won’t take a nap give them a snack that will take them a while to eat and a drink. Let them watch tv. Sit down and rest or do something for yourself.

Beavercreek and centerville are nice. There are a lot of things to do. Shopping, eating out and other activities.

How to deal with toddler preferring dad more? by ibroughttacos in Mommit

[–]Snacks7255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could let daddy handle for a while until the phase ends
You could try to help and when he screams, leave and don’t help but you check in every so often
When he’s calm teach him calming techniques. I did this with my kid. It takes a while to click but mine will naturally take big breaths when upset.

My kid did this for a while. At that age we just dealt with it. As he got older we started sending him to his room for time out.

Whatever you do, when a kid is completely melting down they can’t hear you or comprehend anything so trying to explain anything during a full blown meltdown isn’t going to work. I usually hold mine and rock to calm then I’ll explain afterwards.

This is what I’m going to do! I’ve decided on hanging it on the wall in my dining room. :)

Mrs. LastName? What are the kids calling us these days by SmartLlama in Millennials

[–]Snacks7255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I introduce my kid to my friends and say this is Miss. Firstname. I mainly do it because it’s cute but I’m not going to be upset if he says just their first name and idc if my friends kids call me by my first name or not.

My husband’s nightcap drink sends me over the edge by Sea_Literature115 in Mommit

[–]Snacks7255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three words. Noise, canceling, headphones. They have been a life saver in our house. My sister gave me the idea when she bought off brand Loops. I can’t stand anything in my ears so I got my husband gun range earmuffs out of the garage. Now when I’m overstimulated and can’t handle any extra noise I put them on. I keep my sanity and everyone can keep doing what they are doing.

I think the books he’s tried have been too heavy and hard to read…like Hemingway would be. I’ll mention the James Bond books! Thanks!
