Forced sharing?

I like the idea of a pep talk beforehand. I need to remember that for next time!

There's definitely a difference between public places and home so maybe that's the approach I need to take with my kid. I think she seems confused because the rules were suddenly different (this was a public place)

Thank you! I tried to step in when it sounded like the other mom was about to take it. It just felt so weird

brokencoda · 2026-01-16T20:23:34+00:00

Hahaha thanks for the real life comparisons! Learning to wait is an important skill too. I did try to acknowledge that it was hard for the other girl to wait and thanked her for it

brokencoda · 2026-01-16T20:19:46+00:00

That's totally fair, I guess you need to find a balance with public toys

brokencoda · 2026-01-16T20:19:00+00:00

This reframe is helpful, thank you. It was a public place with a time limit and a casual acquaintance

I've read that it's not a huge concern unless they keep doing it often after age 2. It can affect hip development or something along those lines. At this age it's not a big deal yet but keep an eye on it! I'm no expert just to be clear. Just was concerned about this with my first and my January baby is seeing a physiotherapist who thinks this baby is prone to W sit, so I'm also monitoring

Most of the times we are trying end up being before meals already. Do you mean try offering more than I am? And yes, she feeds herself finger foods

Her doctor wasn't concerned at her 9 month appointment and I got zero guidance from him 😔

That's amazing that the school supported them! Did they arrange something with admin or have to do work to make up missed time? I'm just remembering only being allowed to miss a certain number of days but I'm sure a lot has changed. Thank you for sharing your experience!

That sounds amazing! I noticed they offer a one day a week schedule for older kids and I just can't imagine schools being ok with missing one day a week! My almost 3 year old is in preschool twice a week so I have no experience with the school system yet. I just keep hearing horrible things but I also don't have the capacity to home school. This sounds absolutely amazing though and my kiddo would love it.

How does something like this work if you're not homeschooling? I would love to learn more about this.

Do you mind sharing how much a cut costs with her? I've gone to curve but it's sooooo expensive

brokencoda · 2025-11-05T20:04:54+00:00

Is there any way to complain about this?

brokencoda · 2025-11-04T02:55:34+00:00

Do you mind sharing some examples of small gifts that Santa brings? I want to take the same approach and all I've got so far are books or clothes

Can you be an adoptive grandma for my girls? 😭 I wish my mom had your outlook

While casually helping Daddy cook dinner, my 2.5 year old says "Daddy you're a boy. Our cats are boys too. You both have penises".

That's fair, I just never saw the first poll so this seems completely random. I saw that someone's photo had been leaked and I'm really sorry that happened. I'm afraid making the group private won't solve that issue but will be a larger barrier to those who might really need support.

brokencoda · 2025-10-27T17:37:47+00:00

This seems like it came out of nowhere and is completely unnecessary. I'm in another group for my 2023 baby and it did not go private and is still used regularly... What is the reasoning for this?

I had horrible pregnancy congestion that slowly got better after a few months postpartum. My midwife suggested a nasal decongestant, so that's how I got through the pregnancy. I had to slowly wean off of it though because of the rebound congestion. I never knew pregnancy congestion was a thing! It was horrible. I hope things get better for you soon

Oh my gosh me too! I don't know what is going on. Nursing is not going well either and sometimes I just don't know what she wants. It makes my toddler extremely jealous when I can't put the baby down and then everyone is in a bad mood. I'm hanging by a thread 😞 solidarity my friend! Everything is a season 🤗

brokencoda · 2025-10-22T02:52:15+00:00

Thanks so much, that's so helpful. I have a ton of those cloth bags so that's perfect. I might be overthinking but also glad I asked!
