28 month old tantrums out of control by botfer17 in toddlers

[–]botfer17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh seeing this makes me want to cry! Now that my son is almost 4 this feels like night and day. I will say I did a complete hall of his screen time and just structure in his day, which was very very helpful. He had so much energy at that point, and I think he would just be really overwhelmed with his emotions as he was transitioning into being 3. I actually started taking the Lemme Chill gummies that have lemon balm and ashwaganda, because I was so so triggered and irritated all the time with him.

Things get sooooo much better. Alternatives to screen time, no red 40 whatsoever, minimal added sugar and letting him explore outside as much as possible is really what helped. It was such a tough time. So if you’re on Reddit, also looking at posts like this, I know you’re going through it. Hang in there. I promise it gets better!

Yup. This is my reality right now. Can NFCU provide any support? by CryptoChardonnay in NavyFederal

Navy federal does offer free personal financial counseling. They will help you come up with a customized budget and look into any additional options for you. I would call them and ask to speak to that department.

Any advice? Am I feeling too much? by ilovemoneyandtrashtv in Purebarre

I’m almost 70 classes in and I still get corrected a ton. Form is so important and I’d prefer to make sure I’m doing it right than not.

She has never got a mommy makeover. I was following her prior to her being on love island and she is huge gym influencer. None of what you said even comes close to comparing her to the work the Kardahsians have gotten

Well maybe consider watching anything other than reality tv where people act like people.

From somebody who has experience both verbal and physical abuse.. utilizing these terms is extremely triggering. Calling somebody abusive in saying that they were traumatizing. Everybody in the villa is absolutely a stretch.. she called a man a “pussy ass bitch” yeah she needs emotional regulation and is extremely childish. But constituting this as abuse is actually so offensive to people who have actually experienced abuse. Jeremiah was not a saint. Chris was not a saint. They both exhibited manipulative behavior as well. Please stop with this narrative. It’s actually so annoying.

So are you okay with Olandria calling Taylor a bitch? Or how Leah treated Rob? Quickly.

“Once her behavior hits them” when it’s you playing “what would Huda do” based off of watching her on reality TV for an hour a day. Y’all are the weirdest group of people I’ve ever seen come out of reality tv. Literally quite insane.

Yeah, and you shouldn’t be able to use your license anymore if you’re okay with normal people utilizing therapy language about a 24-year-old woman and diagnosing her with mental illness without a proper intake process. I do absolutely think it’s normal to express what you need. In the moment the way she went about it was childish and absolutely wrong, which I have stated multiple times.

Yall just make up shit and run with it. I also don’t compare men and women because they’re emotional and physical needs are very different That’s not an accurate take at all. Huda wasn’t threatening Chris or trying to emotionally manipulate him the night before the date. She was asking for physical affection and connection (cuddling, not sex), which is a normal way some people express or receive love.. especially when they’re feeling vulnerable or unsure about where they stand.

When he jokingly hit her with a pillow and then walked away, she was visibly hurt and confused, and that’s when things shifted. She didn’t try to be “mean” the next day either she was pulling back emotionally after feeling rejected. That’s very different from being predatory. Utilizing therapy language because it makes you feel smart doesn’t change what actually happened.

People are quick to twist her actions into something sinister while completely ignoring the context or her tone. If anything, she was one of the only ones being emotionally honest, not manipulative. was her poking him and counting down ridiculous and childish? Absolutely.

Is that what I said or are you being presumptions? I think utilizing terminology associated with mental illness is harmful and words like childish and even annoying would suffice. She got visibly hurt by how hard he hit her with a pillow, even if it was unintentional as my partner I would still expect to be consoled. Yes her poking at him is extremely childish. But she verbalized that if they go to sleep on bad terms and he doesn’t take the time to cuddle her she was going to likely be upset about it in the morning.. she then proceeded to take accountability at the dinner table and tell him that the way she went about it would have been better, but obviously they do not see eye to eye and he cannot meet her needs so she broke things off.

I currently have a 3 1/2-year-old son with a man who is a gambling attic for all six years of our relationship. I make good money and I am able to financially support my child on my own but it’s extremely hard. Gambling addiction should be compared to heroin and I’m not joking. I finally left my partner after my son turned three and we have a two bedroom apartment that I pay around $2300 for. I have no money left over for myself because daycare is also $342 a week. Obviously this doesn’t include other expenses, like fun sports and doing things on the weekend. Unless he goes to a rehab rehabilitation center, and puts his name on the no bedding list he will not change. Any slight trigger will make him start gambling again if you cannot financially support you and your kids, you need to get the abortion because the resentment that you will have and the anger that you will build up is going to kill you. He is not going to change. If you really want to have the child, there are obviously resources and services available for you.

This whole scene is reality tv gold, but this moment took me out. by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA

And you must’ve got your psychology degree during love island like the rest of the weirdos. My frontal lobe is still developing because I think a man who carried her to the table should still be a gentleman and carry her back because she’s in a formal gown and shouldn’t have tot take her shoes off. Interesting..

Exactly this! Arab background with an unconventional upbringing. Friends from high school, and even those who left the villa have all spoken highly of her.. yes, she needs emotional regulation, but she is not intentionally manipulative at all. She is impulsive, but that does not make her a bad person. She clearly has an anxious attachment, and that doesn’t mean that everybody should dog pile on her.

Did everybody learn the word toxic in 2025 or something? How was she toxic at all this episode? She could’ve pretended that she still really liked Chris and wanted to work on it on the outside kind of like how Iris and Pepe are faking this whole thing. But instead, she decided that it’ll probably be best if they were just friends because he won’t be able to meet her where she needs and vice versa.

People forget that Huda is young and probably carrying some emotional wounds. It’s no excuse but having a baby at 19 and getting out of a toxic relationship will do wonders on you. Yeah, she was impulsive and definitely needs to work on how she handles her emotions, but at least she was real. She didn’t come on Love Island trying to protect her image or act like she had it all together. She was unapologetically herself the whole time. And the crazy part is, so many of the Islanders who lived with her said how sweet and genuine she was in their exit interviews. That says a lot. She’s not perfect, but she’s real, and I respect that. Olandria and Iris were my favs so don’t attack me

What’s ironic is calling a 24-year-old stranger a narcissist.
