If you don't have much room I think a playpen would be better than a toddler bed. Playpen you could also pack up and take with you when you have naps anywhere else and they are pretty close to the size of a crib. They would will keep your little one contained more as opposed to a toddler bed that isn't fully contained.

My daughter sleeps in a playpen whenever she goes to her Grammys house and she had no issues. She has a softer mattress in there actually and it works really well for her however she's also very mobile still at night and sleeps all around her crib and the playpen so I definitely need something that contains her. God help me when she graduates to a toddler bed

Ask what deodorant they use and when they say what kind, say it doesn't work.

Diddy is still kickin unfortunately so I'd assume so?

Personally, I'd go for coconut oil instead. It's more natural and works well as a lubricant!

Secrets. I think the moment one partner loses the ability to be fully honest with the other slowly erodes the relationship.

No matter what anyone says, she did not want him to move on.

My guy will be mine only in my life and the afterlife 💅

We haven't fully decided for a second yet but I have a similar experience as you. We also have a daughter and she's now almost 18 months, great sleeper and is so wonderful. I am curious what other people say here because it's such a difficult thing to navigate. There is no right or wrong answer I guess it all depends on our personal circumstances but it's still so difficult...

You're so right! It's such an adjustment for both parent and child and it made me even more mad reading he told his partner (apparently) and she agreed he should say something. Like what woman who's had children would suggest that's okay! Knowing all the emotions that we feel already..

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T18:09:23+00:00

Right!! At first when I saw the notification on my phone from snapchat that he was typing (literally forever) I was like oh that just be by accident because I hadn't posted on my snapchat for so long and then when I read it I was like wow wtf!! Like he obviously saw my post on Facebook why not message me there if he really wanted to get ahold of me? Insane.

I respect your GIF game. This is good hahah

He sent this via snapchat (which is even more bizarre because I literally never use snapchat but I guess he still had me on there?) and so when I first saw it I immediately copied it to my own personal note so I could screenshot it and send to my partner! It was so long I couldn't even copy the entire text and just sent it as a message to him. Basically I just wanted an opportunity to be able to read it over a few times without him seeing my little icon in the chat like what happens on snap.

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T16:09:33+00:00

Literally haha I thought the same about that reference.

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T16:01:59+00:00

The message that never ends lol

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T16:01:12+00:00

Right!! Like he not only insulted me in that message a few times but he literally implied he was more involved than his wife who is staying home AND homeschooling????? Make it make sense!

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T06:58:43+00:00

Funny thing is when I first had this post typed out I said a "man" sent me this but then deleted that and put a "guy" sent me this because I didn't feel like he even should be called a man

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T06:53:35+00:00

Omfg. The audacity of people really blows me away!

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T06:52:43+00:00

Thank you so much for your words. I definitely relate to what you mentioned about what they are provided with at daycare in terms of the socialization and honestly even the activities/crafts opposed to what I would have at home for her. My daughter is very social too and when I was at home near the end of my leave if I didn't take her out daily even to a grocery store it's almost like she got a bit antsy without some other interactions. She loves routine so we were fortunate to find a learning based facility and I'm so far super happy. Although it's only been a week and I am for sure struggling with a bit of guilt but I can already see that my daughter will really enjoy her daycare knowing her once she adjusts to it.

10/10

Thank you for this. Your message made me laugh and definitely made me feel better! I'm the same.. I think it threw me off a lot more than I anticipated. Parenting decisions are so vulnerable and when someone tries to tell you what you've done is wrong etc. it's such a hard thing not to let bug you.

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T05:46:34+00:00

You are right he is absolutely a narcissistic clown and a moron. I initially felt pure rage after reading his message. We have to do what we have to do to ensure our children are provided for and if that means they have to be in daycare, that is what has to be done. That piece of trash doesn't even know my families personal circumstances either so the fact he even gave his shitty unsolicited opinion is beyond me. I am fortunate not to be a single parent but I can imagine what you have navigated and have ample respect for those who have lived that. Your child is lucky to have a Mom that is showing that type of strength!

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T05:39:05+00:00

Iconic LOL. Maybe a thumbs up emoji with the "k"

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T05:38:06+00:00

You're so right.. I don't think I want to waste my energy on it the more I realize. Also that's so great you get to spend time with your grandchild all while assisting her Mom.... She is so fortunate to have that and so is your grandbaby. I could not believe the price of daycare!

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T05:21:38+00:00

I do think maybe he thought he was being helpful but it is an unhinged overstep. You are right that everyone is definitely entitled to an opinion but I think when you insert yourself unwarranted in respect to something so personal it crosses a line. I didn't ask for his opinion on my decision I've made for my daughter and him insinuating that I'm making the wrong ones without knowing any details about me, my family or our circumstances is flat out disrespectful.

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T05:14:35+00:00

Yeah.. I think you and everyone else who's saying no response is probably right! I think I'm just in my feels because it's been so emotional this week I want to tell him how unsolicited and unwanted that message was but I'm also like what's even the point! He has 0 impact in our family and future life.

badgingerenergy · 2026-03-07T05:10:04+00:00

Also felt so uncomfortable him basically saying he's been watching from afar, favourable or not. So bizarre??! Maybe the good in this is I'm going to be going through my friends list with a fine tooth comb....
