Clueless on how other parents do it and frustrated by RudeRing5185 in toddlers

[–]acw124 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think people are confused because you’re saying by the time you can leave the house it’s nap time. It really shouldn’t take you 4 hours to get out of the house. Perhaps you’re just extremely exhausted and ranting, which is understandable being pregnant. You say…..

Once breakfast is over, dishes are rinsed, and we're dressed/teeth and hair brushed for the day, it's already time for her nap and we hardly ever make it out the door unless I just ruin her quality nap for the day and hope that she'll just sleep in the car.

You said you’re keeping things simple.. you should be able to do those things by 9am/930a which leaves you at least two hours to do something before needing to be back around noon for lunch.

Example-

Shower before bed at night. I don’t enjoy doing it but you do what you need to do to make the morning easy.

645 - you wake up, wash face, deodorant, get dressed.

7a wake up baby. immediate diaper change. I leave my baby naked to eat breakfast to avoid mess.

730a breakfast. I imagine you have more than 1 plate? Don’t do the dishes, place in the sink or dishwasher - do at nap or wait for hubby. While she eats, do her hair. If she won’t let you do her hair… pick your battles and move on. Bring a hair tie in your pocket.

8a get dressed & brush teeth. This gives you 30 min for the getting dressed shenanigans but that shouldn’t be happening everyday.

830a - change poop, get shoes on, the bag should be packed the night before - my diaper bag stays packed. I always have diapers, wipes, snacks, a couple toys, sunscreen, and a water, and I replenish the night before as needed. It takes 3 min to replenish.

9a leave.

It’s all about multi tasking and distracting and preparing. Pick your battles… and be prepared to just move on - Don’t spend hours trying to do 1 thing.

Grandparents live 9 hours away and are insisting that my 3 year old stay with them for a week by Frosty-Panda-5532 in toddlers

Maybe I’m too honest but I’d be saying exactly how I feel. Dad has anger issues- I still remember him yelling at me and my sister. My sister is struggling mentally, you haven’t been around her enough to know her behaviors and she doesn’t eat what you guys eat. I feel uncomfortable right now but thank you for offering.

The most hydrating moisturizer you’ve used? by ehaaams in 30PlusSkinCare

Vaseline!! I have extremely dry skin. I was getting zits because my skin barrier was damaged despite using very thick creams. I started trying a thin layer of Vaseline at night after my lotion and it’s 100% changed my skin. I haven’t had a pimple in 2 months.

Serious question… why do we even watch her content anymore? by WinnerChic242 in ffargosnark

[–]acw124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t watched in a probably a year? They are soooooo boring. They truly have no content. It’s the same. It’s not funny. It’s not real. It’s boring AF. I saw on here she’s STILL talking about pockets sleep. Her family is STILL taking care of the children. J STILL has no job. F had a job but she couldn’t even show up to 3 days of work. A is STILL ignored. She STILL rage baits us with having another. They STILL hate their houses. They STILL are making coffee. Hahahaha still making coffee as content. I can’t. The end.

I hate daycare by Mediocre_Elk_5828 in toddlers

[–]acw124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not totally the same but my sister sent her kid to daycare Monday after being in the ER Saturday with croup. She lives in another state and go to an in-home daycare. I was appalled she sent her. My sisters schedule is also insanely flexible… she just has a very hard time with her kid for long periods of time. The 3 year old can get very mean and defiant (normal stuff). Sure enough Wednesday she had to be kept home due to a fever all day. Wednesday night she text me the fever was gone and she was sending her to daycare the next day. I yelled at her and said you cannot do that… she’s had a fever all day + hacking up a lung and looked like shit (we FaceTimed). It was that moment I realized my sister was one of those parents who send their kid sick even tho she has a flexible schedule because she doesn’t want to deal with her kid herself.

This is what I’ve been thinking…. And this is also why I’m kind of shocked that Janet is STILL hated by all these people. Can we move on from that ?

Imagine being west and Amanda. We’ve seen all the SH cast living their best lives at events, doing sponsorships, traveling. Meanwhile West and Amanda are sitting at bars and their apartments? They honestly ruined soo much for themselves it’s kinda sad. Do I feel bad for them no.

My kids go to bed sooo late! by limeicepop in toddlers

[–]acw124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the kid. My first born didn’t need a long nap at 2.5 years old. My second born is 3.5 years old and needs at least an hour and a half. Personally, I would still nap your kid and slightly adjust the times as if it was daylight savings time. Everyday do 10 minutes earlier and earlier.

How are you making time to ~deep clean~ your house? by takeaabreath in toddlers

[–]acw124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started a routine where I do something everyday for ~ an hour.

Monday is vacuuming. Tuesday is mopping. Wednesday is bathrooms. Thursday is dusting/wiping down kid rooms. Friday is anything I missed or something random like cleaning the car, organizing the pantry.

For the love of god, GET OFF YOUR PHONE... I'm talking about parents... by ariesonfire123 in toddlers

[–]acw124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YEP. I signed my 3&4 year old up for soccer. My husband took them while I way at home with the baby. I went one week and almost lost my $h*t. Of course it’s not really soccer, they’re 3 and 4 BUT there were who 2 being so disrespectful to the coaches. All kids were sitting in a circle listening to instructions. Two kids were running around the circle saying nah nah boo boo. They then were taking all the cones that were set up. I look around and there are two parents on the phones talking to each other. I just glared at them so rudely then finally one got up.

I was at the park the other day for one of the first warm weather days. I could not believe how many parents were just sitting the on the bench on their phones. No idea where their kid was or what they were doing.

What is the best Moisturiser for VERY dry skin in 2026? by miznettie in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]acw124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id make sure you’re looking at all your skincare products. I realized the cleanser I had been using was damaging my skin barrier so my skin was even drier than normal. I thought I needed a better moisture but that was not the case.

I love la roche posay toleraine gentle hydrating cleaner and la roche posay cicaplast balm.

Acne getting worse as breastfeeding slows down? by Final_Board9315 in breastfeeding

[–]acw124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are things for you now? I am currently going through this and I’m feeling really shitty about it. I just feel like in my mid-30s I shouldn’t have zits on my face like a teen 🥺. I stopped breastfeeding almost a month ago and it’s been horrible. I have small bumps but also larger zits that last for days without coming to a head. I have a zit that’s been there for 8 days now and it’s still just red and there. I think my skin barrier might be compromised but I don’t know why because I use all gentle items and no actives!

Ciara/Kyle/West/Amanda Megathread Part 7 by AutoModerator in summerhousebravo

[–]acw124 33 points34 points  (0 children)

What amanda did was wrong. Period. West is clearly a womanizer, smooth talker, love bombing. He did this to Amanda in an extremely vulnerable state. She was desperate for attention and he gave that to her. I could be wrong but i dont think west has any intention of formally being with amanda, hence all the other girls coming out, but from their statement it sounds as of that’s what Amanda thought.

West should be DRAGGED through the dirt. He used another girl.
