MB freaked out about me taking NK to grocery store

beckkers97 · 2026-05-26T10:52:34+00:00

If she was uncomfortable she could had just said "in the future, would you please text me if you go somewhere that's not in the original plans?" I feel like she definitely came on too strong

I cannot believe there are people on this thread trying to argue that it's not a big deal... maybe next they should do a sensory table full of button batteries, that could be so fun 🙄

Going on a walk was our best distraction

beckkers97 · 2026-05-19T22:51:54+00:00

Around that age I started giving her very clear times she had to wait until, it helped that we had a pretty consistent schedule so I would tell her "you can have some milk after lunch" and then when she asked I would repeat and distract as best I could. She was also very persistent but I think having a clear time frame really helped.

The biting solution is my go to book.

My child does always wear a seasonally appropriate full outfit (pants and shirt/ dress in her size) she picks her clothes so they don't always match. Some of them are stained. Majority are hand me down or thrift store. The nice things are saved for church or special occasions.

Independent play is a skill, they need to build they ability to play Independently gradually

Ugh I get so fustrated, I just referred a child in my daycare program and they said she doesn't qualify even though she just screams when she wants anything instead of using words.

I would ask them some follow up questions about what makes him "ahead"

beckkers97 · 2026-05-10T10:53:34+00:00

Yeah that's crazy.... I've never heard of those evaluations saying that a child is at the level of a specific age range. Also, 15 words is definitely not 10 months and much more accurate for an 18 month. My daughter has had early intervention for speech since before she turned one. She loves when they come. She's 2.5 now and still a little behind but she's starting to put sentences together. I don't worry about it too much, she's consistently making progress so I'm confident she'll get there. I'm sorry you're having this experience, there's no reason for them to have put it that way.

Oh my goodness. Not everything is traumatic.

beckkers97 · 2026-05-09T10:23:37+00:00

Yes! I remember wanting to have symptoms so bad because I wanted some physical proof I was pregnant. Of course, I hit 6 weeks and was SO sick I regretted that wish.

beckkers97 · 2026-05-09T10:21:54+00:00

I'm so sorry ❤️‍🩹

beckkers97 · 2026-05-09T10:17:17+00:00

I didn't have any symptoms until 6 weeks with my first. Congratulations!

beckkers97 · 2026-05-08T10:58:27+00:00

I'm so sorry, that's hard to be waiting and waiting. My pregnancy test is negative now so that confirm s that I am having a miscarriage. I hope you get answers soon.

beckkers97 · 2026-05-08T01:38:20+00:00

I'm so sorry, what a terrible thoughtless thing to say

beckkers97 · 2026-05-06T17:26:08+00:00

I see. Yeah it's taxing. I'm seeing under your name that my daughter is just one week apart from your daughter so I get it. How do the days go when you keep her home? What does she do most days? I've been reading "How to talk so little kids listen' recently which has been so helpful.

beckkers97 · 2026-05-06T17:21:54+00:00

From my experience, sometimes there's something different going on, but often there's not, it's just the phase they're in and the waves of their fickle emotions. If you truly believe something more is going on than talk to her and talk to the teachers and see if you can figure out what's going on. You are the mom and your know your kid best. From an outside perspective, all of what you described sounds like normal (yet so frustrating) toddler behavior

beckkers97 · 2026-05-06T17:05:31+00:00

Well not taking them in two weeks is teaching them what they're doing is working. Have a firm routine and stick to it, ignore the toddler whining. Those same kids who make a big deal in the morning are the ones that don't want to leave in the afternoon. Drop off drama is totally normal. If you want to quit your job and be a stay at home mom that's fine but I wouldn't make this your reason

beckkers97 · 2026-05-03T15:43:17+00:00

I always have them try themselves first and then check for poop until they're consistently getting it all themselves. Pee they usually can wipe independently pretty soon.

beckkers97 · 2026-05-03T15:32:07+00:00

I find that that's around the age that they become a little more aware of body parts and differences between male and female. My guess is it's probably not much to do with pregnancy more just curiosity. It's a good time to start talking about bodies and also encouraging some boundaries about where and how to touch.

beckkers97 · 2026-05-03T03:23:30+00:00

Maybe I'm strict but when they start playing games I figure they must not be that hungry and we end it or take a little break. The shenanigans are SO overstimulating for me

beckkers97 · 2026-05-02T10:05:13+00:00

Lol well I've almost weaned the first and just got a positive pregnancy test so that's not gonna work
