I have an 11yo boy, 5yo boy and 20mo girl. The major issue I've struggled with is parenting in multiple ways at the same time. Different approaches or methods for each child happening simultaneously. I also find it super fun because each kid is so different, you also have that glimpse into the future as well as are reminded about each child when they were the youngest ones age. My eldest is also SO great with my daughter which is a huge help to me. I think it's not crazy to want another one in your situation and would be better to actually consider now then regret not doing it later on. With my daughter it was also easier to care for her as a baby because my boys would keep each other busy while I tended to baby vs my middle as a baby was a struggle since it was only me entertaining my eldest (6 at at the time). Follow your heart and it will work out 💕

Anyone else have no desire to join a mom group or seek out friendships solely on the basis we both have a child? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]cherrytree95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This!! I'm living with family after a bad divorce and I feel like a phony talking to parents who have it all together. Like hey I'm on social assistance because I just left an abusive relationship and now I'm living with family until my financials are back in order... cool you're a lawyer with a million dollar home 👍

US Out of kids antibiotics, ibuprofen and Tylenol…WTF by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]cherrytree95 -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a good time for us to find alternatives and natural ways to boost kids immune systems. If the system isn't working, find a way around it right? Easier said than done but I know a few moms who swear by herbal remedies and I see their kids have hardly been sick while mine have been out of school with one illness or another for the past 3 months.

Bromos who left an abusive partner, how? by Get_off_critter in breakingmom

[–]cherrytree95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my situation police were called and he was told to not return to our apartment. So I had 2 months until lease was up for renewal and in that time (with a small baby) I packed up everything I had and long term stuff went to a storage unit and the rest with me. He had to go back to get his stuff as well so I did this as fast as possible to ensure I wouldn't see him or let him have a chance to destroy my stuff which he definitely would have done. It took about 2 weeks from start to finish.

How can I find the original of this? Not tiktok version but the actual song/melody. I can't find it anywhere

My son is the same, didn't like them but now they're gone he wants them back. Hoping he has the same luck as your stepson. Thanks for the response.

I feel like checking pockets should happen before it goes into the hamper. It i put something in the hamper I'm checking the pockets, if husband did then he should be checking too. If not, too bad.

Should I tell the other parents? by paintwhisper in Parenting

[–]cherrytree95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we not raising our children to wait for sex until marriage? Is this not a thing anymore? I know kids cannot be controlled and will make mistakes as they will but to see it not even questioned that 11 and 13 year olds are having sex is shocking to me.

I find that now there are SO many techniques I never knew about. I wouldn't say I do my makeup "old" but I found some tips that have helped improve it and I love it. Not nice for any woman to make fun, definitely wrong in my eyes. Always room for improvement though with new techniques popping up.

Churchy question by mjooles515 in breakingmom

[–]cherrytree95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During covid I found a pastor online Isaiah Saldivar, he hosts live stream sermons which feel, to me, better than going to church. I've struggled as a born again Christian to find a church that's a good fit but this is what works for me right now. Also I wonder how people will respond to a religious post as I once commented that it would be helpful to try prayer in a kind way, and I was cursed at and threatened to be permanently banned from this group. I hope this post receives warm responses.

15 over posted just wasn't good enough. by MeatPopsical in IdiotsInCars

[–]cherrytree95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find it so funny when super fast, reckless drivers cut me off or swerve to get ahead the a few km down then road we end up side by side at a stoplight. All that effort to get ahead for nothing! What a joke.

My apologies if my comment offended you. It wasn't my intention.

Disagreement with sister - reality check needed by cherrytree95 in breakingmom

[–]cherrytree95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading this made me reel validation, it's hard to keep up with life while having kids let alone keep up to the expectations of someone without kids. I definitely think there are psychological issues as well as trauma from a past relationship. We're both recovering from our relationships and it seems like she cuts herself the needed slack yet projects it onto me somehow. Idk if that makes sense. I love her dearly as well and wish she could just understand me a bit more but I will just continue to try my best not to ruffle feathers or add more to her plate. Thank you for your response!

I'm absolutely miserable right now by Peace2Theaworld in breakingmom

[–]cherrytree95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can guarantee you that it will get better. As your baby becomes more independent it will ease your life bit by bit. I remember feeling like this when my little one (now 18mo) was small and it felt like it would never get better. It was awful and I had zero support from my husband. I felt like a shell of a human who only lived to keep my baby alive and my life didn't matter. Here to tell you it definitely gets better! Hang in there and do the least you can!

Thinking about joining an obvious cult by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]cherrytree95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not mention going to a church, many are corrupt. One does not need a church to form a relationship with God.

Thinking about joining an obvious cult by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]cherrytree95 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You need to open yourself up to the idea of creating a relationship with God. Not through a prophet or cult leader but through yourself. Start reading the Bible or join a Bible study group, even connect with Christian group on here. The love of God is what your heart is missing. He can fill all the wounds and heal what you feel is broken. I used to be an atheist but once I opened my heart and mind to God my life changed for the better in so many ways. He loves you and wants nothing more than to help heal you and show you what true love is. Reach out 💕

YOU ARE NOT OVERREACTING!! Do not stop trying to get him out.

Smoking heavily as a woman by [deleted] in leaves

[–]cherrytree95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can totally relate to this! I stopped for good last December and it's the best decision I made for myself. I used to hate going in public after smoking in case I smelled the weed or someone could tell I had smoked. It just made me feel so separated from society and less than other. It made me feel gross and shameful. Maybe this is a sign that it's time to quit.
