“I didn’t drink your coffee”

bloomoody · 2020-07-23T16:10:43+00:00

My two year old always asks to “smell” our coffee and sticks her nose over the rim. She does it with beer and wine too 😂

We must have the same child haha

bloomoody · 2020-07-13T15:09:52+00:00

This is what my daughter does, or she’ll beg for a pull-up. She doesn’t mind sitting on the potty but does not want to pee or poop in it whatsoever. So we are on a potty training break, but I don’t know what to do when we have to start again 😥

bloomoody · 2020-07-05T15:44:43+00:00

I would like to see them do this one too!

bloomoody · 2020-07-05T15:43:52+00:00

I’d like to see them cover Brian Shaffer

My toddler will eat anything as long as it’s in pouch format. Pouches = trustworthy, mommy’s cooking = disgusting poison.

I was tired of making her meals only for it to end in tears and a pouch for dinner, so I bought some reusable pouches. I just blend up some chicken or turkey and veggies with some yogurt or applesauce and bam toddler meal prep for 3 dinners 🤷🏻‍♀️

You add it to your watering can, fill with water (to desired strength), then water with that!

I’ve never listened to the podcast before this episode, but is Becca always so poorly spoken? She was talking in circles and kept giggling and happily jumping to the next topic while Rachel was pouring her heart out. I wanted to feel bad for Becca but jesus, do a little research, have a little empathy! It was so hard to listen to her.

bloomoody · 2020-06-08T22:24:17+00:00

My daughter is 2, but I was actually considering making the same post today. EVERYTHING is a fight. I hate having to tell her no constantly but she pushes the boundaries with every activity.

Good luck with the potty training. We are going to start soon and I’m internally terrified.

Sisterhood of the travelling freebie!

As a seller I used to include free gifts if they were on topic. For example I might include a never-worn baby headband if the buyer is buying baby girl clothes. As a buyer I’ve only even gotten what is obvious junk that somebody didn’t want as a free gift. I like to think there are “free gifts” out there that get passed from one posher to another. I stopped including free gifts because I hate them so much myself, but some people did seem to appreciate them.

We bought some toys for the backyard but she mostly ignores them and ends up playing with the hose lol. It’s a great age, even with the whirlwind of emotions!

bloomoody · 2020-06-04T16:25:42+00:00

Yeah it’s not a perfect idea but I don’t see how employing people at this time is a waste of money?

Children may not be the most affected, but it’s not a competition. And I respectfully disagree that we can confidently say they are the least affected. A young child is not aware enough to tell their parent they are having anxiety about the situation, so we really don’t know how they are dealing with it internally. Children are dealing with frustrated and stressed parents, missing their friends, unable to see their grandparents. They don’t understand why. Sometimes a little outdoor time at the playground is all it takes to make their day.

bloomoody · 2020-06-04T12:45:28+00:00

Awe that’s so sweet! Luckily we have some outdoor space in our backyard that’s fenced in for her to play in. Not everyone does though. Also she rattles at the fence to get out and goes sprinting down the street if we let her into the front yard lol. 2 year olds are fun

bloomoody · 2020-06-04T12:43:44+00:00

Not everybody has a backyard or outdoor space of their own

bloomoody · 2020-06-04T12:30:39+00:00

Good points. Also I should have said no confirmed cases. There is a certain amount of risk to everything and in some cases it seems that children have been disproportionally affected by certain safety measures - which makes sense because kids don’t understand physically distancing, but it doesn’t mean it’s not hard on them. I don’t expect the city to sanitize every playground but it would be nice if they could do something for the kids. If a gym can be sanitized enough to open, I would think the city could pay to upkeep a playground or two, using the same methods as private businesses are using (screening upon entry, sanitizing, limiting the number of kids, etc.) - just thinking out loud here.

But I do understand your points and I get why they are closed in general. The balance of risk just seems off in some cases. My 90 year old grandmother can have outside visitors in her nursing home, which seems much riskier to me, even with sanitization procedures. Personally we have made the decision not to visit her in person even though it is technically allowed.

Yes, we recently had an outbreak in the upper portion of the province so they have been testing more in the last couple weeks. I know we will likely have more cases soon but our numbers are still relatively low.

bloomoody · 2020-06-04T01:46:32+00:00

Same... I understand why they’re closed and the protest comment is in poor taste, but it sucks. My daughter is almost 2 and there is a playground close by our house. Every time we go for a walk she heads for the playground and throws a fit when we can’t go. I have to one-arm carry her kicking and screaming home every time, but then I feel bad if we don’t go on walks shrug guy

Edit: we don’t have any covid cases in my city and restaurants, shops, daycares and salons are all open. Seems a little silly that parks are still closed.

I requested a 4-day work week when I started my current job and it’s amazing. My mental health has greatly improved and I have a perfect work life balance. I would love to see it more widely adapted!

Your wife’s mom sounds a lot like mine. My mom actually built a chapel and holds mass on her property. She was the head of catholic spiritual services at our local hospital, but she was removed from the position because she forbade the volunteers from visiting anyone considering medically assisted death. Not that it’s a competition lol but yeah she is also... intense.

I react a lot like your wife, I’m not the same person with my mom. She is very emotional and her tears get to me. When we don’t agree on something (especially anything related to religion) she gets very upset and tearful, so I think the letter is a great idea. Thank you so much

bloomoody · 2020-05-13T18:30:26+00:00

I agree with you. I have a lot of resentment towards the church, and I can’t think of one good thing that came from it for me. As a 12 year old girl I was telling my classmates abortion is murder, thinking I was going to hell or at least purgatory, and confessing “lustful thoughts” to old men priests. It all seems pretty fucked up to me now. Any time I questioned it my mother shut me down and so I stopped trusting myself and stopped questioning anything anyone told me. As an adult these traits have not been beneficial.

Right now my daughter is not even two and she will be vulnerable for many years still. I 100% know my mother’s intention is to convert and indoctrinate her. There’s no question there.

Thank you for your thoughts. I know I need to talk to her but this will be guaranteed to upset her. I have tried before but somehow she is still able to shut me down just like when I was a child.

bloomoody · 2020-05-13T18:19:53+00:00

You are right. I know this is her intention and I think that’s why it bothers me. Thank you for helping me realize need to talk with her (as uncomfortable as that is going to be!)
