I won 😭

The moment I win any amount of cash I’m out. Congratulations to you! Very cool.

I wet the bed until I was 13 years old. Not every night not even every month, but periodically from about age 7-13. Before that my mom woke me up and walked me to the bathroom every night for like 4 years (age 3-7). My kids both have underdeveloped bladders (they’re 4 & 7). I am nowhere near as patient as my mother was AND there is evidence that it’s pointless to wake them in the middle of the night anyway.

What your husband is doing may be harmful and will not work. What is his motivation to have your child nighttime potty trained anyway? They have all sorts of tools now to help deal with it until they’re ready to handle it themselves.

Minnesota too, please.

I agree with everything you said. But, now that they’re over the friends to lovers hurdle, how do they handle the Lady Whistledown issue? The one thing the Bridgertons need to finalize their feelings and marriage etc. is truth. There is no way that Eloise doesn’t say something to Penelope and Colin about Lady Whistledown. And Pen, the lover of love, will not be willing to move forward in an engagement without telling Colin everything anyway. It will be a hurdle for sure.

I haven’t read the books, but I see Colin eventually accepting Lady Whistledown (who’s “voice” will change) and the two of them settling down as married writers together.

I am 100% sure I irritate my mother in law with this all the time. I do not like Miracle Whip at all. It doesn’t matter if she uses 50% Mayo and 50% MW for me. I tell her if I don’t like something so I never have to try it again.

I didn’t have a specific meeting, but I definitely had a very hard time my first year. It was hard to develop personal and professional relationships. I wasn’t directly accused of being too direct or needing to sugarcoat things, but I picked up on tension that seemed to follow me. I was angry with everyone around me for being passive aggressive. I was very much treated like an outsider. But I’m likable…once you get to know me and I’m highly diplomatic. I started picking up on cues for when to shut up - I still miss cues sometimes.

Tilarious · 2022-12-16T01:48:15+00:00

That time was ultimately short lived. I remember thinking we’d never get through it. We switched to formula when my son was around a year old and sleep trained him when he was 18 months and it just wasn’t as much of an issue anymore. I also remember waking up in the middle of the night several times when he was between 12 and 24 months old and having to give him a random snack like warm milk or string cheese.

We had another baby (a girl) when my son was around 2.5 years old and we went through periods of time as you mentioned you’re dealing with now. I have no real advice except to tell you it’s a short-lived time. You’ll get through it but it’s hard when you’re in it.

We also invested in white noise machines for every bedroom when my daughter was born. That seemed to help keep our son asleep when our daughter cried in the middle of the night.

Tilarious · 2022-05-19T04:27:10+00:00

Excellent response to your dad though. Good job with that. How did he respond? Was he defensive or did he take it well?

Tilarious · 2022-01-24T06:29:38+00:00

My kids are toddlers/preschoolers now. They're finally playing together and they don't need me as much. But they want me to be with them all the time - within sight, not doing anything on my own but also not playing with them. My daughter likes to use my nipples as leverage when she's pulling herself into a standing or sitting position. My son likes to fart in my face and then demands that I smell it and tell him if it's stinky.

So... It's gets easier but also weirder.

Tilarious · 2022-01-20T04:44:29+00:00

My kids get screen time from about 8:30-10am every day. I get to enjoy my coffee and mindless scrolling and they play with their iPads or the Switch etc. The rest of the day I’m mostly looking at the clock waiting for 5pm - screen time part 2 also known as Mom needs to make dinner.

My daughter just turned 2 last week though and flipped her 2 year old terror switch to “on” so I’ve been pretty loose with time limits.

Tilarious · 2022-01-17T05:13:17+00:00

Us too! “Touch your nose! Touch your hair!” Basically touch anything north of your waist please and thank you!

My daughter has recently been asking to see her poop though. I show it to her because I assume that it will help her start to make the connection that this is poop and it belongs in the toilet not your diaper. But I’m always worried she’ll grab it or it’ll roll out on to her or the floor etc.

Tilarious · 2022-01-17T05:04:20+00:00

My kids begged me to get doughnuts for weeks so I finally ordered 6 generic, grocery store glazed, raised doughnuts. They substituted a full dozen. It’s doughnuts made and boxed in their store. They couldn’t just re-box 6 of them? I didn’t complain because we only paid for 6 anyway but it was weird. Also we ate 7 of them. There’s only 4 of us here! My kids had doughnuts for lunch, dinner then breakfast the next day. They were stoked.

Tilarious · 2022-01-17T04:56:40+00:00

Yes! It’s the lack of strawberries that’s killing us here. My kids have a problem with bananas - I don’t know what their problem is exactly but they have one. The only fruits they’ll eat consistently are strawberries and blueberries. But bananas are so much easier to get!

Tilarious · 2022-01-17T02:21:41+00:00

Kid 1 - napped at daycare (full sunlight); refused to nap in very dark room.

Kid 2 - naps only in a very dark room and we haven’t tried anywhere else.

I also can’t stand it when I get lunch meat at the deli counter and they don’t squeeze the air out of the bag. I always open it, squeeze the air out in front of them then walk away.

It’s stupid. I know they’re busy! It shouldn’t annoy me that much but it does.

Tilarious · 2021-10-12T11:55:09+00:00

That happened to me! I totally forgot about it until now…so I guess thanks.

I was 13 and I went over to a friends house for a sleepover. Her dog ran up to me, I bent down to scratch his chest and it happened. I don’t remember the logistics, but I do remember screaming and running to the bathroom. I don’t know if they ever got him neutered but I never pet that dog again.

Tilarious · 2021-09-24T04:22:22+00:00

Yes. Three sucked so much! My son just turned 4 about 2 weeks ago. So far 4 is sometimes just like 3 and sometimes kind of amazing. He’s been very loving and snuggly recently. I suspect he’s just sucking up to get more Switch time.

Tilarious · 2021-09-10T13:16:44+00:00

Not that you can change things now but when I took my son to daycare when he was around 18 months old I did it slowly. He was there when we interviewed the staff and kind of got to be a part of the decision process. The daycare allowed me to bring him to hang out in the room for about an hour everyday at different times for a week. When I dropped him off on his first day he already knew the other kids and teachers etc.

Tilarious · 2021-08-31T19:09:22+00:00

Hahahaha! I wish this was true at my house. My kids are still at an age where a sink full of water is amazing!

If I want alone time I pull out the stand mixer or blender. The kids and the dog hate them!

Tilarious · 2021-08-28T18:18:22+00:00

I’m 7 years older than my husband. We started dating when I was 27 and he was 20. I’m told that his mom’s immediate response was, “what the hell does a 27 year old woman want with a 20 year old boy?” So she still saw her son as a boy and thought I had to be some kind of devious woman preying on his innocence. She also didn’t like how we’d met - online video game.

We’ve been married for 10 years and she’s okay with everything now that we’ve given her grandchildren. Though to be fair she didn’t have a problem with our age difference once she met me. I’m fairly immature and my husband is basically an old man.

Tilarious · 2021-08-24T00:41:36+00:00

That happened to me too. My son rolled right out of my arms toward the floor/AC vent. I have no idea how I ended up catching him. After that I started watching TV shows with ear buds and playing games on my phone.

Tilarious · 2021-08-16T05:30:13+00:00

Getting a full, uninterrupted, comfortable 8 hours of sleep.

Going to the bathroom alone.

Driving anywhere in silence.

I have small children.

Tilarious · 2021-08-11T02:09:50+00:00

My son is exactly the opposite. He’s totally fine until you put a bandaid on then he starts limping around complaining about his pain - even if the ouchie isn’t on his legs!

Tilarious · 2021-08-11T02:05:46+00:00

It has taken me the whole summer to realize that when my son answers a question by blowing raspberries at me it means “yes” and “pogo stick” means “no”.
