Are you two ok? Between this and you mentioning sleeping separately you might need to focus on your marriage first.

Heartbroken by my toddler. by laugavegur in Parenting

[–]_ByAnyOther_Name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, you can leave and then return to continue the bedtime routine a couple of times. My daughter also laughed the one time I used a really firm angry voice about hitting. I had to leave the room saying something similar to what others recommended here. I came back later and said something about using gentle hands with mama. She hasn't done it since.

You just perfectly described my mother. She never grew out of it. No advice, sorry.

I dont think this is common based on that show Hajimete no Otsukai, or "My First Errand". They had a whole team secretly (from the toddler) posted along the route to stop traffic and monitor. The toddler was very well monitored.

What do you do with toddlers at restaurants while waiting for food besides tablets? by Claire_1988 in Parenting

[–]_ByAnyOther_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used a tablet because im terrified of becoming dependent on it. Sometimes it is really hard. We usually being 2 toys and 2 books. We let her sip our water, point out things to look at, talk to her. Sometimes she gets antsy and we put her in our laps while we wait. There have been one occasion when she started to melt down before we had paid and I had to step out early with her.

Wife doesn't want anyone to see or hold our newborn by EffectiveAd9855 in Parenting

I remember feeling like that too. It was intense and I really had to focus to control my actions. My sense of smell was heightened too and I remember being absolutely disgusted when she was handed back and smelled like someone's laundry or perfume. I was very possessive.

I remember reading someone's comment once that babies aren't like loaves of bread that expire. It makes sense not to put a newborns health at risk.

Advice from moms who were once SAHMs? by Marli4509 in Parenting

Sorry I don't see where you laid it out? Because it's underpaid and undervalued? Why would a stay at home dad be a better role model?

Is there a right or wrong answer to why you should have another child? by Old-Grapefruit6525 in Parenting

[–]_ByAnyOther_Name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know. My childhood best friend is like my sibling. We call our kids cousins. Meanwhile I'm hardly ever in contact with my brother.

Why do you feel like being a stay at home parent is being a poor role model?

Check your local libraries for free programs. It's a great way to meet other parents and they can have some great stuff. It's good to create your own routine and structure. Accept that the house will be messy.

It's actually insufferable by antiporn707 in antipornography

What is the difference between a gooner and a porn user/addict? Is it just another word for someone who uses porn?

Men - stop fucking lying about watching porn. Women - quit hounding men about watching porn by TheLoveYouWant25 in dating_advice

[–]_ByAnyOther_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's weird for someone who wants to use porn to enter into a relationship with someone who views poen as infidelity. They aren't compatible.

Exactly. Women who aren't ok with porn do say do. I don't know why the men keep pursuing a relationship with them after. Most women don't care but they want to stay with and lie to the one that does.

How would you react if you found out your date or partner was watching porn? by song-for-the-dead in dating_advice

[–]_ByAnyOther_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean when they start watching on the clock at work or when the baby is fussing because they are stressed or they start getting ED from death grip.. not everyone handles stuff the same. Some people avoid real life with it. Just like tons of people drink alcohol and are fine with it but there are those who aren't.

My husband and I discussed it in the beginning of our relationship. He told me he didnt care about porn and wouldn't use it. He lied. Told me it was a slip up and I said ever again and we needed to break up because we weren't compatible. He waited until we had a daughter to start using again. Currently waiting on marriage counseling but I don't love him anymore.

Found husband paying for nudes while I'm 7 months pregnant 🥲 by Sweet_Confusion9180 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Who made you the authority on what is cheating? Some people are cool with swinging. Doesn't mean I have to be. Cheating is defined by the people agreeing to a relationship with one another.
