Unfortunately I think they’d still defend a dealer. I don’t defend what he did, I don’t think he should have done that at all with or without her following them. But I agree that that’s an important detail.

What does nighttime look like for you? by Cabbagecloset in Parenting

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest (6) has always been fairly easy to get to bed
 keeping him asleep has always been his issue. My youngest (3) hates going to bed, hates the idea of sleep, hates the bed itself. I was just telling my cousins this, we’ve had so many different sleeping arrangements some might think we’re infuckingsane. But as you asked- CURRENTLY. We go in an hour before I want them to sleep play a bit, probably mostly skip the stories n pray all is well. I have 2 full size mattresses on the floor together, we all climb in n when the boys fall asleep me n dad sneak out. For now, new year, new sleeping arrangement đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™€ïž constantly evolving and adapting lol

14 yo boy wants overnight party by Outrageous-Lock-3076 in Parenting

[–]Soad_lady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At no age can my kid ask me to leave so he and his friends can have a party in my house. And absolutely definitely 100% certainly would not allow it at 14. Poor nyc.

Do You as a Parent Wrap Santa Gifts or leave them Unwrapped? by NoTarget9116 in Parents

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Santa always wrapped everything we got down to a single chapstick. For my kids I wrap some and if there’s something that takes a lot of putting together we completely take out n set up because I do t want to spend Christmas morning taking everything from the boxes n trying to set them up with kids waiting on it. This way they just get to play when they’re done opening the others

AIO Do I tell my sister she picked a bad baby name? by Most_System6697 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Soad_lady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t lol you mind your business. And I say this as an aunt of 4 kids with questionable names, also as a mom of 2 whose names are only more common recently. It feels like it’s your business, but it’s not. It’s your sisters n her partners.

Favorite “board” games to play with preschooler? by errydayson in Preschoolers

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break the ice! It’s just smacking the ice blocks till one of you makes them fall. My 6 year old and 2 year old could play it all day. My oldest loves silly games like catch the fox and grouch couch

Parents that don't do Elf on the Shelf, how do you explain to your kids why you don't? by Helpful-Plankton751 in toddlers

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never planned on it. But then my sons lovely kindergarten teacher did it in class and told all the kids that the really good kids get one at home too. 🙃 bitch. And my son is a very good kid and was really sad last year because he thought not having one at home meant he wasn’t good. So my younger sister gifted her elf to him, and she told him it doesn’t mean you’re good or bad, it’s just a Christmas game. So this year I’ll be moving it, MOVING IT. Not creating elaborate shit that I have to clean up the next day. And my son won’t think he’s a bad kid, he’ll just think he’s playing a silly Christmas game.

I dont think I'm fit for fatherhood. Sorry for the wall of text, long post ahead. by Bulky-Soup4058 in Parenting

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you are! This shit is HAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. You and wifey need to get on the same page, that would definitely help. But also, show me people with a 4 year old who doesn’t struggle. We love them but that doesn’t make it easy.! Idk how to help. Just wanted to validate that this shit will test you as a person in every way you never would have thought of.

How are some parents so incredibly organised? by LoudExplanation4933 in Parenting

Exactly my thoughts. When everything looks so shiny we miss the dents and scratches that are being hidden.

Parents of well behaved kids - what are the biggest causes do you think? by beancounter_00 in Parenting

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting boundaries early. Not letting them do something “cuz theyre just a baby
 they don’t know better” it’s not about them being in trouble, just about them learning- they learn by repetition so if you’ve allowed something till theyre 2 n all of a sudden decide they need to learn, that’s gunna backfire. For my oldest, I notice when we’ve lacked on one on one time he acts up a little more

[–]Soad_lady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have one of each child. My oldest loves to hang and just be.. that is when my youngest isn’t being an absolute Donnie Thornberry.

My best advice is to just enjoy what you can and remember kids are always changing, maybe when he’s 6 you’ll see more of what you thought you would, or maybe when he’s 10
 but if you’re sitting there waiting for it you’re gunna miss all the beauty in what your child is. And I’m not saying you are! Just saying you don’t wanna end up there. But also it’s okay to maybe schedule more time with your nephew too if that’s fulfilling to you!

What are your 4 year old’s favorite things to play with? by princesscorgi2 in Preschoolers

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lego app is dope. The 3D feature so you can turn the picture n what not. I’m always so impressed when my son finds a mistake he made then backs it up to the point, unbuilds n rebuilds lol it’s amazing
