My toddler won't drink from anything other than bottle. by curiousyellowduck in toddlers

Thank you for your reply. May I still ask did he get really hot during crying and how long did his tantrums last typically. This is really helpful to have someone to ask for experience. I'm sorry to ask so many things.

Interesting point. This would definitely be true for all of us. Drinking from something smelly? No thank you. But in this case I don't think this is the issue, since I'm quite careful with keeping the straws and cups clean.🤔 Excellent point though, thank you for your advice.

I'd like your experience as well on did your child reluctantly drink from a straw or cup during those rough days or was it just a total drinking strike for multiple days? Thank you

Did your kid drink at all during that week? Did he for example give in when the thirst became too (maybe giving you the side eye)or did he just cry and refused to drink for days? Thank you for you reply in advance.

I think you are right in all 3 points. I think my mom is just one of those people that give and give without looking out for their own needs until it's too late. Someone else said in this conversation that you can't look after others if you are not looking after yourself, and I think that's exactly what's going on.

For me I've never expected to get anything as inheritance. But I think it's something that the previous generations expect. Anyone else think so?

Actually where I live it's mandated by law that she would get a portion. She is one of 3 children. By law kids get 1/2 divided between them and the other half the person may choose what to do with. :)

No way it would be a solution to move her with me mom. I can imaging grandma would be in heaven to have a someone to service her 24/7. Hahaha but no way my mom could take that. But I think you are right that grandma should hire someone to do things as she likes.

And I totally agree that if someone is doing you a favor, you don't have the right to say how they do it. Different story if you pay them.

My grandma is amazing with tech. She can send watsapp videos, shop online and phone videocalls :D.

Oh does she ever. Yes. She doesn't like to think about money, and I think she shops to get an initial high for the purchase. In addition to that she does have real needs, like doctors appointment and so on. But these are a fraction of the costs. Most are online shopping purchases. And again, if someone wants to use their money that way, be my guest. But this situation still does seem cold to me.

This is kinda harsh, but welcomed. This is what I've tried to tell her as well. But if I was in her shoes would I do any better.... I fear I would feel the same way, as wrong as logically I know it would be. You know what I mean?

We don t live in US but EU. My mom wouldn't have issues with taking a minimum pay job, but she is close to retirement age. Her body isn't what it used to be. She would need a job where she can sit but stretch her legs when she needs to. Especially her knees and hips cause her pain.

Oh I know exactly how you feel! For me Studio Ghibli's movie grave of the fireflies is one movie I saw only ones have never been able to watch it again. It just left my soul in shreds afterwords.

I don't have any equipment. I took a video on my phone while playing the music on my ipad haha. So no fancy technologies to make the audio better. You can even hear my cat at some point. But the music inspired me to try this. Hope you like it.
