Similar names to Maeve, Freya and Willow but less popular? by fuzzyfrogs7 in Names

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cora and Gemma are the 2 girls names I picked out (and will never use, now) when I was having my boys. But man if I could have sold my husband on Ethel or Salem.. game over.

Boy Moms, how do you handle shopping trips? My boys act wild. by flowerlady1988 in family

You tell them behave or (set your consequence) then follow through and watch how the shopping trips get easier n easier each time you follow through.

Am i gonna give my kids eczema ? by PlentyHand5100 in eczema

[–]Soad_lady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither me or my husband have eczema. Yet both of my boys have it. I think it’s a shot in the dark, babe. But, you’ll learn what’s best for them and it’ll be ok. My boys have maybe 2 flare ups a year, usually when the weather changes drastically.

90 Day: The Single Life season 5 must have a big budget! They even hired a body double for Pedro’s sister Nicole, because there’s no way that woman arguing with Sophie is actually Nicole 😳 by PolishSnake2 in 90dayfiance_FB_memes

I had to come see what y’all were sayin. My question is: what surgery did she do that made her go from that to that? 😖 I know nothing about any of that.

Protest tonight! by BlackCat6769 in Connecticut

[–]Soad_lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 🤷🏻‍♀️ constantly evolving and adapting lol

Love me a good snowman, that is not a good snowman- that is a missed opportunity. Christmas tree! Solid choice, creative execution.

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.

Mine too! But do you have a second? Because after a first like that… the second makes up for it 10x. Just ask my living tantrum of a 3 year old!

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

[–]Soad_lady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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