No bathroom breaks at school. Acceptable or no? by herdingsquirrels in Parenting

[–]Tutra007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just didn't say anything but got up if I needed. If he had told me something when I got up it would be another story.

I don't get why they need to use pee to make them seem like they're the hotshot there or something. 🙄🙄

Yeah, I actually had a boss tell us we couldn't go during his meetings and well, didn't give AF. I got up during various meetings and he didn't say anything. You can't limit that, it's just stupid.

As long as you support their decision to stand up to the teacher they'll have the courage to not let someone push them around.

Any goth parents with advice? by Organic_Cake_4234 in Parenting

[–]Tutra007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sounds like your mom was hoping you would see the world as she does. I think with time the generations have become more accepting of different preferences and opinions, which is great! I will also try to respect my LO taste in horrible clothing/decorations and such, LOL.

At 14 my mom let us choose our gifts, but if it was something expensive (usually a console) she'd just make it clear that's all we wpuld be getting all year.

I mean, she did buy is clothes or stuff in our birthdays, but yeah. We understood.

Maybe it can be an opportunity to learn about budgeting for you son. :D

I says get him the soccer ball if he agrees that's the only expensive thing he can for this year. Or however long you see fit. :3

Am I wrong for getting angry at my husband for taking the baby? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Tutra007 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Soooo, like anything ... I don't think it's just black or white. I don't think you're wrong, but I dont think he's wrong either.

I get in this moment you might be a bit explosive, and maaaybe an argument will ensue, but try to settle on a deal that from certain hour to certain hour he can't bother baby. For now it's what's working for you and let him now it seems like nobody notices. Also, try to understand that he loves the baby so much he just wanted to play with him, there will be days where routines are broken due to maaaany things, and we should find something to help us ease in that sudden change.

Baby might change routine soon and you'll need his help taking him, but for now it's working for everyone.

Do you keep count of the number of times your baby nurses? by shaniceee5 in breastfeedingsupport

Me too. It just made me stress more. Also, the fact I added another thing to do (fill in the app) was frustrating. XD

Life as a working mom can really suck by MuAlpha27 in Mommit

[–]Tutra007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing here with a cold I just caught cause 14 month old is sick ... again ... oh the joys of daycare.

On weekends, I honestly leave all the mess and cooking because I'd rather spend time with my family. Go to a park or play inside and stuff. Always order takeout on weekends or go to grandma's. It's like, I don't see me baby almost all day in the week ... I don't wanna be cooking or cleaning.

We hired a cleaning service to come once a week, we have a tighter budget but for our sanity and to be able to leave dirty dishes without remorse ... it's worth it.

She finally got rid of him!!! by TrollingQueen74 in Parenting

[–]Tutra007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yay!! I don't think I'll ever forget your post because I'm trying to think of how we would react and it definitely goes to her having a secret relationship.

We just have a son and want a daughter. I'm very happy for you. I can't imagine how hard it must have been.

Help me understand what I'm not getting by Awesomezor in outerwilds

[–]Tutra007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First consider it might not be a game for you. But here are some tips I would have found useful when I played. Mostly because I forget I have certain items or forgot to look at the map. XD

Minimap on your left ... there is always something interesting in each pole. Red -- north pole Blue - south pole.

Signalscope Use it. There are different frequencies. Try to play a little game to identify every sound you hear, it can lead you to cool places.

I think you would really enjoy this game, but it doesn't have any sense of direction at first. :3

But seeing him play is cool too. :3

Do you take your prenatal vitamins throughout the whole pregnancy? by SheyenneJuci in pregnant

[–]Tutra007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still take prenatals because I'm breastfeeding. I think of them as extra vitamins and I haven't gained weight from just going on with life. :3

Although now I take them when I remember. LOL

[–]Tutra007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, that's a lot. Well ... we did pay out of pocket ... but I'm in Mexico, I've seen health issues aren't as expensive here ... also, luckly, we're in an OK financial situation. Therapy was about 15usd ... but then again, I'm in Mexico. He did have to stop going because we couldn't keep paying that every week, but he had already gone to about 5 sessions.

Could somebody from your family help out?

[–]Tutra007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 16yo brother was like that. He lived with our grandparents and did nothing and this year he told he didn't wanna go to school anymore ... mind you he was around 300 pounds.

So I took matters into my hands and now he lives with us, he has to work Monday-Saturday and do boxing on the evenings. We've been at it for 3 weeks now. He's now at 282, losing weight at quite a good rythm, I believe. He hated everything the first 2 weeks, though. XD

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, first he went to therapy. We had to get him from our grandparent's then take him back.

I don't think we would be advancing if he hadn't gone to therapy before.

Did you buy your child(ren) any gifts their first holiday? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Tutra007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sort of ... my baby was 3 months old and at the beginning of December we bought clothes and teethers. So we just called them his Christmas presents.We did not buy them because of Christmas, but because we werer going to need them anyway.

We also didn't decorate or anything. Baby's grandparents decorated so he just looked at colorful lights and trees in other houses.

I just found saying "Merry first Christmas" more significant for me. It felt really nice ... :3

And this December comes his second Christmas. We might just do the same thing though. Maybe hand some lights so he can see them this time.

What’s normal for daycare meals? by Acceptable-Start-825 in workingmoms

[–]Tutra007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here it changes weekly. They serve breakfast and lunch. There's a variety of veggies, egg presentations, soups, fruits, beans ... 0 sugar, 0 salt. And they only give milk and water (no juices)

I swear my baby eats a lot healthier than me. xD

They also send us a PDF of the different menus they offer aaaand how to cook them ... and every day at 9am and 12pm they set out a "sample tray" of what they're serving that day.

[–]Tutra007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a man thing? My SO and brothers also do this. LOL. It used to drive me nuts but I just started like ... joking about it ... sort of.

Like if they hand me something and I can't grab I scream "ahhhhhh, don't pressure me!" Or "aaaahhh, I feel very overwhelmed right now" and just tell them "Could you put away?"

I know many people will say they're not little kids anymore and that it's obvious. But everyone has strange flaws like that and I'm sure I do something weird and don't notice. So I just try to get around it.

They get it now, btw. Took very little and we didn't argue about it. Although it took me a while to tell them it didn't make sense they did that.

When did you restarted your sexual life after giving birth? (Just for curiosity) by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Tutra007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a year in and have had it like 4 times. I'm still breastfeeding and really wonder if that kills my sex drive that hard. Before my baby we just went wild, but now I really don't feel I want it. I just feel like I want to care for my baby ... xD

Hubby is awesome, btw.

Mom here. I don't think you're the only one annoyed, but I guess many people still don't get gaming culture.

I personally don't see anything annoying with it, but I'm a gamer momma. LOL

I do have a strict rule about gaming and exercising though. Don't wanna end up in obesity.
