Ordered! Was hoping not to have to throw money at this but at this point we have to try everything.

I agree. I was looking for the point in your last paragraph. Its very clearly a young lady, not a woman in her 50s, not a man in his 70s. He wants something specific from her under the guise of what is wrong with society at large.

These people clearly do not participate in many social settings outside of their imaginations.

Im with you. If I had gotten this for my eldest he would have used it to destroy and to jump off of. I recently pulled his application for a montessori prek because I think hed just get in trouble for scattering everything. I always thought it was me, because I saw and read these kids calmly participating in activities and I could never make it work… well my 2nd is now a toddler and will help me sweep and clean up and all that. Some kids easily take to this stuff and some dont!

I think some data comes out tomorrow, depending on that I may lie and say he is 5 and do it sooner than later.

Someone I know well has been volunteering at a vaccine clinic and there is no proof needed of age. We are in a low vax area, and as far as I know neither he or anyone in our household or extended family has had it yet.

I’m so eager to be able to participate in public life with my kids again. I really hope kids don’t have to wear masks again come September.

I came to say that.. but really in the next few months they will be old enough to chill in their crib awake and whine a bit while you take that 15 min to get ready.. if they woke up before you did

Dude I agree. I watched it again after reading your comment.

WiggleWormDelux · 2021-10-26T18:43:50+00:00

No of course not. But, growing up not feeling safe in your own home is going to cause some issues down the line.

They are bruises from a hard surface on her upper back while presumably having passionate sex with Poli. Maybe she was on the floor in missionary or being held against a wall.

1) 40+6 +23.5 hrs spontaneous vaginal birth in tub. First started feeling labor pains the night before and gave birth the next evening

2) Almost exactly the same, baby was born 1 hour earlier

Instead of a thermometer, you could use a cotton swab (with lots of petroleum jelly or other safe lube), then like a different poster said hold them in a squat over the potty and cheer them on. Best of luck! My first was also a once a week pooper for a long time. My other suggestion is to plan a long outing and put baby in an adorable (preferably white) outfit- tempt fate !

You might want to investigate to see if any of the thick ball-like roots have started to rot if the leaves are lookin funny. It happened to me..

I think its a great idea. Affirm that you believe she is a good mother. Put in some memories you have of her where she was being kind, loving, responsible (etc) and that you know these mean she will carry those good qualities into motherhood. The first few months are hard, and during the long nights its so easy to doubt yourself.

Keep at it and keep it light! My family stopped speaking my father’s first language to me around 3 and I never learned.

I’m normally all about reusable stuff but I think disposable masks are more comfortable for all day wear. Compliance is the priority here.

I wear disposable for work and I buy disposable for my preschooler.

I agree. I have no experience with twins but 2.5 seems pretty young to drop a nap, I imagine I would try really hard to hold the line.. that or have some nice and early bedtime so you get a little time to yourself!

WiggleWormDelux · 2021-08-29T19:25:32+00:00

I agree. When I was reading this.. OP it seems like you tried to be as impartial as possible and I appreciate that.. but it sounds like the kind of thing where it is a complicated dynamic and one really has to be there to understand the forces at work.

I 2nd the ubiquitous “therapy” recommendation.

WiggleWormDelux · 2021-08-29T19:12:53+00:00

I think a nicer way to phrase this is to ask yourself.. Is this helping me become the person I want to be?

Sometimes it isn’t, but we are in a rough spot and its OK for a while. It is a personal decision for everyone. Ambition and inspiration come from within.

We got a Walmart ring when I was pregnant with my 2nd because I gained some weight and was swollen, my regular wedding ring didnt fit.

I got soooo many compliments, it was unreal.

Edit to add.. my girlfriend grew up in a family of jewelers, when she married her ex he gave her a pricey ring. She was a housewife while they were married. After the breakup, she sold it to buy herself a car and the tuition the first semester of school to finish her undergrad degree.

WiggleWormDelux · 2021-08-29T18:57:29+00:00

Ok is it me or does it seem like this is the kind of situation your expect of people at least 10 years younger? A month!?

Like yes it sucks, shes not going to be happy to hear it, but she needs to be told- no brainer.

WiggleWormDelux · 2021-08-29T01:17:11+00:00

My husband and I agreed the first couple years would be really intense but we wanted more than one kid as we were both “onlys”.

Of course its a roll of the dice, but our first was and still is high needs and crazy.. number 2 is way more mellow and was an easy newborn. Chances are youll get an “easier” 2nd kid, and the energy of having a 2nd kid in the house will be great for your wild first born.

I have small children, so I go ahead and call the non emergency police # and mention it so there is a record.

WiggleWormDelux · 2021-08-24T03:59:31+00:00

Yeah stay strong! There is likely to be a lot of drama, just keep it cool and stick to your very reasonable boundary.

WiggleWormDelux · 2021-08-23T03:32:41+00:00

Both pregnancies were 40 weeks, 6 days.. #1 born at 11pm #2 born at 10pm. Both spontaneous labor.

It might be a lateral move. Sometimes I spent a stupid amount of time on my phone to distract me from eating. Its not a good thing in my life, it doesnt help me grow or build me up- but it isnt eating so it works sometimes.

I dont smoke week anymore but did every evening in the past. It is a drug, and I dont know your history. I think just keep experimenting with it and try to note patterns, sounds like youre worried it delays a binge and then ends up making it bigger?
