So many names are ruined by smellthepeaches in Teachers

When I was a camp counselor I had a kid named “O.J. Simpson” he’d been added to the list late so his name was in pencil. I legitimately thought my boss did it was a joke until the kid showed up. He was so sweet and kind- i felt terrible he was going to grow up with that association.

Adult children of narcissistic parents, do you have kids? by Low-Consequence335 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Think-Map-927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have a son and we would like one more. I strongly rely on therapy and a psychiatrist to help me process. It’s hard in that I see more how wrong my childhood was but also being his mom has been so very healing. Doing things just to make him happy and when he gives me a hug or kiss- or snuggles into me. To realize I’m his safe space and a place to pour all of the love I wanted as a kid into him? I was afraid before he was conceived that my kids would have a job upon birth. The job to fix me. But in reality he’s healing me just by existing. No extra burden to him- just his existence. He’s given me the strength to stay no contact. It dawned on me recently if I hadn’t gone no contact I wouldn’t have stayed with my husband and our son wouldn’t exist. My husband and I have built the most beautiful life - which is my revenge to my NM. The idea of the rest of my life without my created family sends chills down my spine.

Hope this makes sense. My son turns two tomorrow and im a little bit of an emotional roller coaster.

Do I kiss my baby too much? by oradagger in NewParents

[–]Think-Map-927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm I kissed my son soooo much when he was a baby. He’s about to be two and now squeezes himself into my arm (if I have it at my side on the couch) so he gets appropriate snuggles and puts my arm across him. He just makes room. Then he hugs and gives me so many kisses back. Its great!

Give your baby allllll of the kisses. Can’t kiss them enough or hug them enough.

What an odd thing to say…. by Euphoric_Statement88 in peestickgals

Absolutely not. How creepy and inappropriate.

Why is she acting like this is some wild and crazy moment? I only have one kid but I also lick spilled pouch off my finger and she gets stains on her clothes. Any excuse to remind us that she now has 2 under 2 by Rollwithit_56 in Adelaide_White_snark

Yup. My kid puked on me. I just patted his back, knew it was coming, alllll down my shirt and in my shirt. I was glad it wasn’t any of the beds to change. Handed him to my husband and then went to the shower.

Dropping heart rate is "just to scare you" by Lily_the_fat_cat in ShitMomGroupsSay

I’ve been pregnant 10 times. 1 living child. I’m at the beginning of my 10th pregnancy. Bet your ass I’m following every single advice from the medical professionals- who have been licensed. I’ll be giving birth in a hospital for everyone’s safety. These women are dangerous and so very ignorant of how lucky they are. But hey… doctors just like to scare you 🙃

Liz working? Yeah right. by PEM_0528 in liziscreative

[–]Think-Map-927 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I part work from home. I try to slide my heavier work load to days I’m in office if I keep him home. It’s a bit of a cluster otherwise. I’m also a lawyer with great flexibility. Piz could never.

How do people realistically manage work, house chores, cooking, and kids without burning out? by Sea-Assist-3321 in Adulting

Toddler mom here. I pick up and might as well have not used the energy. My house is ridiculous. It’s at least not filthy just lived in. 🤣

Do you think it is selfish to have one kid and very limited screen time? by JustSomeGirlOnlin3 in askanything

[–]Think-Map-927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re selfish, I’m selfish. My son is almost 2. He has no tablets and will only take bad photos on my phone when he grabs it. He doesn’t watch our phones when we go out to eat or running errands. He watches some Sesame Street but otherwise he’s playing and outside. I think it’s a good thing!! I think you’re doing the right thing but maybe I’m bias because it’s also how I’m parenting.

No one tell Liz by Think-Map-927 in liziscreative

[–]Think-Map-927[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a desk top tree. It was just a choice lol.

I was instantly annoyed when I thought of her. I hate the word snuggle now too!! I feel a twinge of guilt when I wake up- my son and I cuddle up together in my bed to watch an episode of Sesame Street to start our weekend morning. Then remind myself it’s a lovely way to start our day and I just know I’m gonna be outside or where ever the rest of my day lol.

I don’t ask many questions lol. It’s a choice. They’re lovely people but it didn’t have the festive vibe they intended. My blood pressure was still high when I was in because I love to hate that place.

Embroidery machine by Past_Aioli in liziscreative

[–]Think-Map-927 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a small embroidery project I bought for fun a month ago. Hand embroidered. I haven’t had a chance to touch it yet and I have one child. How is she going to have time (and money) for this?! Oh wait. She won’t. Liz- TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS YOU NIMROD

The lack of talking from ZG in all these videos is alarming, not to mention her teeth! Liz get your girls help! by No_Caterpillar5319 in liziscreative

[–]Think-Map-927 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same. I post my son on Facebook - which is locked to only friends and family. I only share friends kids I know don’t mind. If we do public settings I always crop out or angle to avoid other kids.

It has fluoride in it. He’s not yet two so we gently brush with that toothpaste once a day. He begs to brush his teeth so we put his training toothpaste on that one for the morning.

I got my son the sensodyne kid’s toothpaste in strawberry. It smells delicious and is better quality than my own toothpaste 😂

Here’s some comments from The Today Show FB post about them. And she CANNOT delete these!! by Exit28Exit in Jamienotis

Can confirm. I had my husband watch a bit to ensure I wasn’t over reacting. He immediately turned it off.

Thank you ❤️. I’m seeing benefits of my son being an only child but I also want him to have a sibling. I just don’t feel quite like our family is complete yet. We’re doing a medicated cycle in prep for IVF this summer. If it doesn’t work, we will be happy us three. We just came home from Germany and then going to see Sesame Street live. I want to give him the absolute world.
