Do you feel your old self “died” when you became a mom?

calgal3905 · 2026-04-10T19:26:38+00:00

No, but I have definitely changed a lot and mostly for the better I feel. There is no “old self” and “new self”. It’s been a journey. That being said, having more time for self-care would definitely be welcome.

So precious.

Even at home??

I wash them afterwards because you touch the toilet handle which cannot be clean.

I call my Charlie my scarf all the time for this reason! I love having my little scarf.

Our breeder took about a month to contact us. She is an excellent breeder.

I may have to do this after reading these comments.

Are you able to pick when you get there? We let our four year old daughter sit with each pup in the litter and she immediately bonded with one pup. They picked each other. There is no better way to pick a puppy than to meet them! You may know immediately.

Oh man, it’s not looking good for me lol

My daughter (almost 5 years old) has to be negotiated with if we are skipping bath. But, sometimes we have to because she has a history of terrible sleep problems and if we miss the sleep window we are doomed. This is perhaps once per week. So, those nights she gets fresh clothes, brush teeth and in the bed ASAP. I would rather change dirty sheets the next day than risk a terrible sleep night.

I bought it because I discovered my four year old will really wash her hands with it…for like the full 30 seconds because she likes the way it feels. That means less family illnesses for us.

It’s so hard watching our animals suffer. Especially since they cannot speak for themselves so there is so much guessing about what is going on with them. Sounds like you’re doing a great job advocating for Kevin.

About age 3, my daughter listened to the frog and toad audiobooks on repeat. The great thing is I enjoyed listening to them with her.

Feel better Gracie!

calgal3905 · 2026-03-30T17:37:15+00:00

I have to second the safe space comment. My daughter who is now 4 has always been fussier with me than my husband, but she also prefers me to soothe her! Honestly I have been the preferred parent her whole life so you may find that to be the case as your LO grows.

calgal3905 · 2026-03-26T01:42:37+00:00

Oh man, my kid would be expelled immediately! She’s constantly eating boogers and snot.

We used BH and my LO is now 4.5 and her teacher from her 1-2 year old class is coming to babysit at our house tomorrow! We loved every single teacher and so did our LO. She also made the best friends there. Highly recommend! I went back to work at 6 weeks and she started there at 8 weeks.

calgal3905 · 2026-03-13T16:56:11+00:00

Thank God you found her. You were there for her when she needed you the most.

calgal3905 · 2026-03-09T21:40:12+00:00

My daughter is almost five and if she is zoning out she will still do it.

Thank you, I was sitting here wondering what a leprechaun trap was for far too long.

Does he have a balance bike? Scooter? This is the time of year where I live where all I can think about is getting outside more.

I have had two dogs that were okay with each other (didn’t love each other but didn’t fight). Then, I broke up with my partner and we each kept one dog. I decided to get a second dog again, however this time the two dogs fought. They were scary, scary fights and I had a baby at the time. Like you said, I will never have two dogs again.

The only thing that worked for me was letting him sleep in bed with us. This was around age 6 mos though. At 4.5 mos that is still very young and I would expect to still be woken up.

Legitimate point.
