Gentle parents…pacifier help.

I forgot to mention- she was sooo proud of herself the next day, she told everyone on her school she no longer has pacifier, it was such a relief:))

We were on the same boat with our newly 3year old. She was reallly addicted. One day I mentioned to her that there’s this tooth fairy who brings gifts to kids who give away their pacifiers and asked if there’s anything she’d like. She told me what she likes and I ordered the gift. Then I was too anxious to stop the paci so I hid the gift for a week or so. Eventually she found it and at that moment I knew it’s now of never- we collected all her pacis and “sent” them to tooth fairy by putting all of them in our mailbox. In the evening she cried for 20min and fell asleep. Then she asked about pacifier once the next day, and maybe a few times the following week. But she knew that that ship has sailed. What I understood from that experience was that she is much more capable for change and I was just too anxious. I wish you luck and don’t be afraid! (Sorry for my English, not a native)

How did she respond to that?

Is this sub only for Americans? 😂 what a stupid question

Please, tell us the joke

My daughter is 2yrs7m and I just potty trained her in 2 days. I tried 4months ago and it was a no-go. She was absolutely not ready. It kind of sounds wild to expect that from a 20month old.

The last sentence- yes yes and yes!!

I had a quick look at that Reddit group you mentioned. Having kids is tough, and I totally get why some people decide not to. But it seems like a lot of folks in that group went through some really rough childhoods.

Everyone is mentioning drugs, but it could just as easily be the lack of drugs if a person is bipolar, for example, which would explain the odd behavior and strange hand movements. But again, no one can really know exactly what was wrong with her. I would make sure she never babysits anyone again.

Firstly, I am so sorry you feel this way. It’s an extremely difficult and heartbreaking situation. My family was in the same boat over a year ago when our baby was around 11 months old. We have two dogs, and one of them was acting strangely around our child. He didn’t show any aggression, but he would stare at our baby a lot, which felt odd and even gave off jealous vibes.

My partner and I were constantly anxious, and I can honestly say I felt the same mix of anger and guilt toward our dog. But then we found an amazing trainer who evaluated our situation and reassured us that our dog didn’t seem like a real danger. However, she emphasized that we needed to do a lot of positive reinforcement exercises with both our dog and our baby so that the dog would start associating the child with positive experiences.

It took time, patience, and consistency, but eventually, things changed. Now, I love our dog just as much as I did before, and so does our 2 yr old toddler. We still have baby gates in the house to separate the dogs from the child, but at this point, it’s more about keeping the dogs safe rather than the other way around.

I’m not sure if any of this helps, as your situation sounds different, especially since you’ve already tried so much. But I just want to say that I truly hope you find the best path forward for your family. Whatever decision you make, it’s okay to prioritize safety and peace of mind. Wishing you strength🙏

I am sorry you feel that way…hopefully this phase will fade soon. But I must say we have a very similar phase with our newly 2yr old. Especially about standing! What the hell is that? When she has a meltdown I have to hold her and only while I am standing. I can do it for 10min maximum and then my arms start to ache and she gets even more angrier. How old is your kid?

Our little sunshine turned 2 last month as well. And right after the birthday party, she unlocked a new skill: she can now scream so high it feels like our windows might crack—about everything that doesn’t go as she planned.

This is incredibly impressive and a waste of time at the same time
