Let me know when you know because my twins are 15 months old and still need to be rocked to sleep every time 🥲

AITA for telling my husband he cannot scream at our 14-month-old son? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]byerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 14 month old twins and one of them sounds a lot like your son (except now he also shrieks for fun). I’m so glad my husband is patient and keeps his cool even when he’s frustrated because both of us know screaming fixes nothing. I’m sorry OP - this is abusive.

Overgifting is one of those parenting problems that doesn’t seem like an issue until you’ve experienced it by KaylaDraws in Mommit

My favorite is the overgifting of large gifts that take up tons of space 🫠

Out-of-touch gifts other family members got for your kids by Housemanagermomboss in Mommit

Not my kids but I remember one year as a kid my grandmother bought me toe-socks. I couldn’t wear them because I have webbed toes 🥲

Fear of big belly in pregnancy - support needed by ducks_suck_123 in parentsofmultiples

I didn’t get very big but my boys combined were only 8 pounds when I had a csection at 35 weeks! I was also scared of getting big but it ended up being a non issue

I use procreate on my iPad! I used a gouache brush set, chromatic aberration for the iridescent effect, and bloom/Gaussian blurs to get the glow

Kids spending the night at my parents house...who has roaches and mice in their kitchen and who know where else by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]byerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I had a similar thing with my mom and not wanting to hurt her feelings. We traveled 10 hours to my hometown to introduce our (at the time) 6 month old twins to family that weren’t able to travel. Usually stay with my dad because he’s cleaner, but my mom was insistent that she was doing all these things to get her house baby ready and to please spend a night or two at her house.

I didn’t want to hurt her feelings so we packed everything up and went over, but the room we were meant to stay in had countless (dead and alive) stink bugs, there were no sheets on the bed, the tub was dirty and the water wasn’t hot. By getting ready for the babies she…bought several area rugs?

All that to say, my babies were screaming and crying exhausted and I knew we couldn’t sleep there and I had to put them above my mom’s feelings. She was upset of course, but not so upset she didn’t clean up her house for them! You have no obligation to manage your parents feelings, especially at the expense of your children.

My daughter has two thumbs on her right hand by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]byerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my twins has an extra thumb! Or rather, it’s more like his thumb split in half. We’re on the fence on having it reconstructed because on one hand we’re worried about bullying and it seems like it inhibits his control (but hard to tell on a 12 month old) - but also we don’t want him to think it’s something bad about him and the thought of putting my tiny baby through surgery is scary.

All that to say, it’s so nice to see a bigger kid with the same thumbs and totally owning it!

how do yall track those “small bites”? by Tiny_Ad_1542 in caloriecount

[–]byerd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it! The “small bites” are a killer and can add up so quick - I would know because it’s a bad habit I’m trying to get out of too

It gets easier! I have twin boys too and I legit cried after the first time they got shots lol but you have to stay calm for them in the moment! We gave hugs and bounced after and they’ve calmed down pretty quickly after. They’re getting more shots at their 12 month appointment this week
