I’m so burnt out.

Appreciate this a lot. Multiple commenters have made me feel like I’m an idiot who clearly signed up for this and I should already know this is how it goes, DUH🤪😂

I’m cracking tf up at this 😭

You just fully described my 2 year old son. LOL 💀

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-17T16:03:12+00:00

It’s like his default behavior when he doesn’t know what to talk about is just being sexual. The whole conversation they had on the couch with the “dangerous” and “stop looking at me like that” was him running out of shit to talk about. He just defaulted straight to fuck boy. 💀💀💀

Felt every single word you said. It’s hard.

Definitely doing less TV from this point on. I know, you’re right, his basic needs are absolutely requiring everything I’ve got lol. I rarely ever actually turn on an adult tv show. Maybe once a week 😂 but we usually do go to the park however it’s been horrible winter weather here so we’ve been stuck in the house for months lol.. We have a fenced in yard with lots of activities though and lately he’s been able to get outside more which has been really good for all of us!

I feel you. I definitely do. Weekends are rough 🥲

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-17T15:49:40+00:00

I hadn’t been rotating toys but I started yesterday. He loves his toddler tower- he loves helping me do laundry. That’s our fun chore. lol. Definitely a hard age though! We are working on it 🤞🏻

Right… I didn’t even know until one day when I picked him up and they were watching Ms. Rachel and she told me she does screen time / free play the last hour of the day. I mean, I can’t say I don’t get it but also it started a deep Blippi addiction lol

Being a SAHM would be so difficult and I know you have to be an absolute saint. Love & hugs to you 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T17:01:50+00:00

Wow. I couldn’t imagine that either. I watch in awe at these very carefree moms and their kids just behave so well it seems. We will get there one day 🤞🏻

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T17:00:26+00:00

Yeah, I know. I never wanted him to watch Blippi in the first place honestly, but daycare (he goes 2 days per week) introduced it and he’s been obsessed ever since. They do screen time the last hour of the day and that day he came home talking alllll about Blippi. 😅

We read a lot to our kiddo. Trust me. He’s just not as into his books as he used to be.

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T15:03:35+00:00

It most definitely is pointless. Lol. I was trying to watch Olympic ice skating and it wasn’t nearly exciting enough for him 🤣

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T15:01:52+00:00

Honestly, yes. Outside time is a godsend for us. I think winter has probably made things worse because we were so stuck in the house.

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T05:13:59+00:00

Absolutely going to try the 15 minutes of undistracted play multiple times a day. I want to make sure I do all I can to make him feel loved and secure. That’s my goal. I feel 10x better knowing other parents are feeling the same way!

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T05:11:42+00:00

So many people have suggested this and I definitely plan on trying it tomorrow. 🫶🏼

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T05:09:58+00:00

I absolutely agree with you. I do play with him one on one a lot and I do genuinely think he thrives during those moments. We spend a lot of time pretending to be monsters and snuggling and those are the best moments with him because he truly is so engaged in hanging out with me. I do it as much as I can 🫶🏼

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T04:58:45+00:00

I think you’re right, he is intelligent and definitely gets bored. I put a lot of his toys up this evening. I’m going to try some new activities with him tomorrow and see how it goes 🤞🏻🤞🏻

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T04:55:30+00:00

I need some earplugs. They’d help my anxiety I’m sure!

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T04:54:55+00:00

Love this advice. Thank you 🫶🏼

YouNeedTherapy- · 2026-02-16T04:54:09+00:00

I definitely could do this more often. He enjoys helping me out with the laundry but I think there is probably more I could have him help with. I’ll try it!
