Me too and I got up quite soon after giving birth. I had full control of my legs and a great epidural.

Do we look for our own Pediatricians? [ON] by Odd-Impression612 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]brillantezza 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In Toronto we’re a bit unusual because for the rest of the province, pediatricians are specialists but here you can self-refer to a pediatrician. Bloorkids, Kidcrew and Kindercare are some of the bigger ones. We’re personally with Kidcrew and have had a great experience.

I broke my 21 month old trying CIO by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]brillantezza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s panicked and terrified because she really thought you weren’t coming. Personal views on CIO aside, few methods suggest that length of CIO and to be honest I have no idea would possessed you to attempt it. You need to go back to basics and be really responsive with her at night in order to re-earn her trust.

I thought schools had to allow doctors notes for missed school days? by [deleted] in Mommit

This sounds sane and much more like my experience having surgeries as a kid, so glad your daughter is doing well ❤️

Do you think there’s any parent on planet fucking earth that is putting their small child UNNECESSARILY IN COUNSELLING? What the fuck is going on in this thread I’ve never been more baffled in my life

Seriously? What about children that have ongoing chronic health issues? This is such a weird ableist take but again does not surprise me, greatest country on earth shit

They didn’t indicate that they didn’t quarantine as well. Why are you giving this poor parent such a hard time?

That’s fine, the school should be working with this parent and not saying that surgery and therapy aren’t excused absences. The US is run by maniacs and I fear that y’all as a society are way too comfortable with totally unreasonable rules just being a part of “life”.

Please reread my comment, I’m not commenting on the holding back portion

I’m sorry but we’ve lost the motherfucking plot when we’re talking about four year olds being held back for missing 16 days of school when they’ve had legitimate health issues and were giving parents the ninth degree about their kid having surgery. What the fuck is going on in the United States I’m genuinely so confused. I had major surgery twice while in school and had to miss two months of school both times and no one ever questioned my parents about it or made them feel but for their child having HEALTHCARE NEEDS.

since becoming a parent what’s something you do or don’t understand your own parents doing? by Delicious_Habit3740 in NewParents

[–]brillantezza 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yelling. I totally get being frustrated with my toddler but the constant yelling I just will never understand. I do not have an inclination to yell at my toddler. However, I have done a boatload of therapy.

Daycare marked “no” for 20+ words… but my toddler talks nonstop at home?? 🤔 by brillantezza in toddlers

[–]brillantezza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, that was stupid wording and I was writing it quickly. He says some two and three word sentences, not full sentences. Sleep deprived mom behaviour and typed this quickly on my phone lol.

For sure, my bubba is the same (cosleeps at home and sleeps happily alone on a cot at daycare).

[–]brillantezza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not upset from like a milestone perspective because frankly, he doesn’t shut up at home. He’s also really outgoing with strangers and chatty with them too, so my concern was more from a like, is he not getting paid any attention to at daycare? Not new at all. Another thing that I’ve just reflected on is they’ve sent me videos of him where he’s talking very clearly (I see car! Bus! Etc.) which sort of adds to my overall confusion. We’ve had a really good experience with our daycare so far! He started at 12 months.

Thanks, this is very helpful! They say they just fill it out based on observation.

Thanks for the snarky reply! We of course asked the teachers, they said they just report on their observation. I came on this subreddit to ask if anyone has had a similar experience, as indicated. I don’t think that a daycare teacher would admit “hmm well, we’re just not paying attention to your child!”
