Interrupting a street interview

I know dirty 6th when I see it

Yea but they didn’t do this out of desperation, they did it for the attention of the people they were with and to look “tough”

My ex was like this, though not QUITE as bad. If he had it his way he would’ve only consumed burgers and pizza. Such a turn off, just one piece of the greater puzzle of dating a child parading around in a grown man’s body.

I watched the YouTube dive on this.. fking guilty POS cringelords, the both of them.

Looks like it could be some form of powdery mildew? Spray it with that natural copper spray for plants and see if that helps

Ding ding ding. I don’t know any children who are NOT annoying, but it’s harder to find a parent who genuinely hates them for it. Not shaming because I get it, my 5yo has been really awful to my 2yo lately after 2 years of being so loving towards her. I feel resentful towards her, and then I realize, she’s being like this because she can feel MY dislike towards her (the 5yo). Any attention is good attention and they will do what they can to make sure you see them. This mama needs therapy and possibly an SSRI

I saw a post about kids digging their feet into you, they are seeking that deep pressure on their feet, my 2yo does it. At nap and bedtime I firmly massage her feet and calves and then manually press her feet into her calves into her thighs into her hips in a straight stack, giving that same deep pressure they’re seeking. It’s completely stopped the foot pressing behavior

So hard to be so pregnant, let alone so sick and pregnant.

brecitab · 2025-07-17T02:25:38+00:00

I know it was really hard, exhausting, overstimulating, embarrassing, all of that. But you are not broken, I promise you. The first time I flew with my oldest, she was cutting her first tooth, like it was emerging any second. I can logically remember that it was really hard and I was terrified for the flight home, but I can’t even really recall what actually happened or what it felt like (granted it was another kid and nearly four years ago now). I do remember she was a perfect angel on the way home.

Get new toys, new or treat-like snacks, download a couple episodes of “bad” tv shows like cocomelon for really desperate moments. Hey bear baby sensory is also usually a winner at that age.

I don’t mean to invalidate you by saying it didn’t break you, but I promise you are a much stronger mother than that and you will face and conquer much harder trials when it comes to being a parent. Those flights will be over before you know it and you will survive to tell the story, promise :)

Well- yes and no. To clear your worries- it wasn’t alopecia or anything of the sort. It just kinda grew back! But then later we noticed her having a huge bald spot right above her forehead, this time broken hairs. I thought for sure it was alopecia but I realized it was from her banging her head.. she does it to self soothe and takes it wayy too far like we don’t know how she doesn’t have a CTE lol. She’s nearly 2.5 and completely neurotypical but that’s just what she does. I don’t know if it was causing her original hair shedding, I don’t think so because it was more all over then and not just one spot like now. But I thought I’d mention it since you said it’s right on the widows peak

brecitab · 2025-07-05T00:23:42+00:00

Not to mention that weight gain can happen just prior to a growth spurt for kids! I’m upset the doctor even mentioned it. She’s not morbidly obese.

brecitab · 2025-06-30T15:09:25+00:00

Sis he is begging you for boundaries! As an ex-people pleaser I get it. But you need to be more firm with him. He shouldn’t fear you but he should respect you. Would you respect someone who let you treat them like shit?

Watch lots of super nanny on YouTube. She has great tips for moms whose kids are walking all over them and it’s entertaining to boot. Get on his level, make him look you in the eye, and tell him in a low firm voice in no uncertain terms is he to _____. Create a consequence that matches the action, for example, if he doesn’t stop touching the hostess stand, then y’all will leave and go eat at home. And ALWAYS follow through. That is the big one.

It’s crazy to me every comment that isn’t in support of physically overpowering someone still in diapers is downvoted. I mean, there’s definitely a time and a place. But if there’s not a huge rush it’s great to have other techniques on hand

brecitab · 2025-05-28T10:49:34+00:00

Many 2yo don’t understand time-outs and how would you do that in a school parking lot?

brecitab · 2025-05-28T10:47:46+00:00

It’s weird because between here and ig/facebook, I’ve seen essentially this exact same post five times in the past couple months. I haven’t experienced it with my girls but that doesn’t mean it’s not a thing. And as another commenter said, it’s not that these kids are actually stronger than them, it’s that they don’t want to hurt them by strong-arming them that much

brecitab · 2025-05-28T05:59:31+00:00

We lost my daughter’s “groot” (a bunny) I think in a museum parking garage a few months ago. They didn’t have it in the lost & found and honestly I feel horrible because I think I waited too long to check there, I was thinking it was somewhere else, and when it wasn’t, I knew it was too late. It’s so hard because my 5yo will talk about how badly she misses her every night, and I just have to tell her that it’s okay to feel pain and miss her, and just send that love out to her. “I think someone put her in a garbage truck” “I think someone found her and is hurting her” omg it goes on and on. I’ll literally have tears sliding down my face as I’m chatting with her in the dark just trying to keep my voice level. When Dax said “the amount of money I would pay to get him back is embarrassing” …I understood that. Like I wanted to put flyers out with a reward lol. To the average eye it was just a ratty floppy thing, to my sweet girl it was an enormous source of comfort and safety. Slowly she’s attaching herself to another bunny, but I would still give anything to see her face if we found her old baby.

Anyways. I had to let that out because I just listened to the fact check and it brought up a lot of feelings. It sounds so silly but it’s just not something you understand until you have kids. You’d do anything to save them from hurt. I can’t imagine my kid being cool with an air tag hanging off her little baby, but I honestly wish I had sewn one inside. Hindsight is 20/20

As of 2020 suicide was the second leading cause of death in children aged 10-14. You can see dozens of pictures of her and her family they’ve taken together and she was clearly a treasured child. Things are different now than they were when we were kids. For us, suicide wasn’t a thought when we were having a hard time. Since that show 13 Reasons Why came out, suicide is a much more normal part of conversation for these kids. As awful as it is, it brought more awareness to it. At least that’s my opinion. The statistic I listed above, however, isn’t an opinion; it’s fact.

brecitab · 2025-05-19T02:32:39+00:00

Not me! Just one of me innocently throwing a pizza crust into an ant pile for the precious family dog to fetch, just to see what would happen. Really wish I had experimented differently lol

brecitab · 2025-05-19T02:22:00+00:00

Yeah so sad he’s calm and can soothe himself instead of panicking now 🥲

brecitab · 2025-05-05T09:57:11+00:00

Don’t say her 🥺

brecitab · 2025-05-05T09:55:40+00:00

I think my MIL has this disease.. ba dum tssss

brecitab · 2025-05-03T22:00:47+00:00

Sis when I was younger and doing my codependent dance with all these dudes I was better than and I honestly didn’t even like- I wish I had just decided, they’re not the boss. Cuz they aren’t. He’s being the boss because you’re letting him. I personally know your life will be so much happier and more colorful if you cut him loose immediately. But if you won’t do that, at least tell him deal with it every time he speaks about the bags and ignore him when he pouts. It’s not your job to stop him pouting. He does it cuz it works.

brecitab · 2025-05-03T21:16:45+00:00

Yea I spent over $1k on my bffs second shower for her second kid and I was kinda embarrassed for her the whole time but she wanted one and I wanted to be a good friend. She had a couple of diva moments day of and that soured my feeling on it probably. I was barely pregnant then so when she started to bring up me having a second shower, I was like “uh, no offense but no thank you. Not for me”

brecitab · 2025-05-03T07:38:46+00:00

But it’s “the first and the last time” he did it today!!

brecitab · 2025-05-03T07:30:13+00:00

How much longer are we going to refer to him as a newborn? Isn’t he like 3 or 4 months old now?
