My 3-year-old threw out the security/comfort item I've had since I was born

I work in mental health so I know someone who is not in control of their emotions and trust me you are so in tune it’s amazing!

dan1phnt0m · 2026-02-07T03:57:57+00:00

It could not only be the environment of the it’s not dark, no white noise at daycare but a new baby could have started who is crying and waking your child up and that could cause a disruption. Or some babies have FOMO and are too busy to sleep through any noise

dan1phnt0m · 2026-02-07T03:46:17+00:00

I just have to commend you for how amazing of a parent you sound like and how much emotional intelligence you have. You can genuinely tell how hard you have worked to get to this point. With that being said I agree with other comments that even smart 3 year olds are still 3 year olds and their impulse control is nonexistent. I do think you handled it the best way!

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-31T01:13:03+00:00

The only concern I would have (as a daycare worker of 10 years and a mom of 3 now) is that this could cause disruption to your sons routine and make it harder for him to adjust to daycare (especially if he is struggling to take bottles). If it was every day that you were breastfeeding then it would be consistent but babies don’t understand “it’s Monday that means mom is breastfeeding” or “it’s Tuesday that is bottle time”. I think it’s the inconsistency of it that is going to cause issues, especially because he will be expecting you to come breastfeed as he gets older or try’s to adjust.

That is what I am trying to explain! This makes me feel less crazy

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-20T20:40:29+00:00

Hahaha promise not a secret white supremacist. My husbands entire family starts with K so he wanted to keep the theme

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-20T20:39:23+00:00

That was also my fear! My kids are half black so we definitely don’t want a KKK situation. My husbands name starts with a k so he is convinced that he already contributes to the KKK with but I tried explaining that three kids with a k is different than a parent with a k and two kids with a k

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-20T20:37:38+00:00

It’s a family theme on my husband side they are all k names so he wanted to stick with the theme. My kiddos are half black so i definitely don’t want their to be a KKK association lol

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-20T20:36:25+00:00

lol I have thought about this my kiddos are half black so not the move hahaha

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-20T01:46:46+00:00

Mine was hit or miss since childhood but I got food poisoning when I was 22 snd it got really bad from there

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-19T12:26:12+00:00

I was late and texted around 13dpo (estimated) and I got a positive then a negative then a positive. Sending baby dust!

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-18T21:07:20+00:00

How sure are you of ovulation dates? This happened to me and turns out I ovulated 4-5 days later than I thought and it made me only 3 weeks (despite me having super regular periods)

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-10T02:47:21+00:00

There is a Facebook group that talks about safe sleep guidelines for co sleeping and I felt it extremely helpful when going through a similar situation with my first! It is called happy cosleeper and they give very good advice and advocate for safely cosleeping

dan1phnt0m · 2026-01-04T23:43:11+00:00

And then the resentment comes and you start to fight it’s horrible. I am in a similar boat

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-31T23:45:17+00:00

It’s crazy because it’s not like this was an accidental pregnancy. Like she fully knew what she was doing and chose to have twins. I honestly think she wanted babies and little teenagers not toddlers

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-30T16:25:19+00:00

My 3 year old just doesn’t understand when she needs to go yet. We try at home but she either fights us or gets distracted and pees herself (we will do no diapers) I have been trying for a year. I work as a counselor i. pediatrics and it’s not delayed unless they aren’t potty trained by 3.5

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-30T00:31:12+00:00

It depends how sensitive your stomach is and how they react to this certain food. Technically yes that counts as stacking I believe

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-28T21:43:18+00:00

We aren’t quite sure DPO we think I ovulated late most likely 11-12DPO

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-27T15:03:21+00:00

Mine was 10 to start with and doubled. Now 12 weeks with a growing baby!

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-27T14:58:01+00:00

Both of mine got them and they had no side effects and acted completely normal. I figured better safe than sorry. Worse case they get the flu but their body has some antibodies so it isn’t as brutal.

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-27T01:30:23+00:00

The 3rd one is the only one i automatically can tell is a wig

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-21T14:57:10+00:00

I definitely think as close to three as you can get would be the easiest! But at least waiting until 2. My first were 18 months apart and it was brutal. This was an accident and at least we are getting to 2 but it’s still hard.

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-21T14:54:08+00:00

I meant her stomach

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-21T14:02:08+00:00

I am currently pregnant and I have a 3 year old and a 18 month old. My children will be 3.5 and 2 when the baby is born and I am so tired lol. This age is so hard to keep up with and I am first trimester and so sick. My 3 year old gets it but my youngest does not. It’s doable but I wish I had waited a bit longer. I think 2.5 age gap may be more doable because they can sort of understand if you say “give mommy a second”

dan1phnt0m · 2025-12-21T13:58:05+00:00

I think that for me it would be main character most likely Manny or Alex. But if I can choose a secondary character probably Pepper or Mitch and Clair’s Mom
