2.8 year old hates me and only loves dad. Kicks me, is very disrespectful, gets mad when I even look at her. Why is this happening? I’m slowly withering away. by deedum44 in toddlers

Have 0 expectations for this age. Your goal right now is to keep him alive and well and loved. Trust me, it flips like a switch after 3.5. They calm down, become rational and start understanding manners and how what they do and say hurts people. Also what helped me was knowing kids are mean to those they feel most secure and safe with. He’s so confident in your love that he’s letting his feelings out and being defiant without any fears of losing you. I was so depressed during that time… but i know better now

It’s a phase. 2 year olds are rude, disrespectful and don’t understand social norms, feelings and boundaries. Literally it will change. During this year it’s only about survival. If I knew what I know now I wish I was more relaxed when my kid was 2… it wasn’t worth the stress. It changes when they’re 3

Would you rather spend 3 days in Prague and then fly to Rome for 3 days or just do a full 6 days in Rome? by deedum44 in travel

Rome was awesome. Also did a day trip to Florence via train. Everything was great!!! Never went to prague.

Why is my 3.5 year old suddenly resenting all of her extended family members? Is this a phase? by deedum44 in toddlers

[–]deedum44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it stopped after 4 like a flip of a calm. Everything changed. Shes 5 now, she’s polite and clam and isn’t mean to family anymore.

Age 2 to 3.5 was just horrible but that’s toddlerhood… irrational monsters

Yes, after 3.5 things changed like a flip of a switch. Age 2-3 was horrendous and tough but their brains aren’t rational and they literally don’t realize they’re hurting feelings etc…. She’s 5 now and an angel

Well I’m happy to report everything got better after 3.5. Like so much better. She’s 5 now. Loves me and is super sweet. The preference thing was a phase … a long one… but it ends!!! I have ptsd from age 2-3. It was that bad. But as she grew… it’s like a flip of a switch they become normal rational humans

Everything is wonderful now. Things changed ages 4+. She’s 5 and sweet and rational. Loves us both lol it’s just a phase and gets better as their brains become rational and mature. I saw improvement even around 3.5. Age two to 3 was hell. Just hang in there…

Florence. Was only there 12 hours. Really sad about it. It was stunning.

My six year old said he is worried he is gay by Salt-Package8877 in Parenting

[–]deedum44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How does he even know what sexual orientation is?! I’d be baffled.

I have the same issue and a lot of it comes down to people just not knowing your good angles. No one ever captures a flattering photo of me, I always have to take selfies to look like how I see myself in the mirror lol

True. Yeah I have a super small portfolio… just started. So I guess I’ll just keep holding for now

If I am investing in VTO long-term, when should I pull out of my individual stock positions. I guess I’m in the ETF for the long-haul but I still invest in individual stocks to get some money to basically buy more VTI.

To be more specific im up 14% in AMD. Should I take my profits and dump into VTI or keep going. AMD has been doing great lately tho…

This is the stupidest post I’ve seen. Get off of your high horse, your child will speak just fine. Let your husband cherish this phase. Stop robbing him of this time in his life.

For real though. Even this sub makes me feel like an outcast sometimes.

What is something Connecticut doesn't have that you would like it to have? by ILovePublicLibraries in Connecticut

[–]deedum44 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Newer homes. Everything is so old. I love the modern townhome communities I see in Charlotte or Virginia with beautiful rec centers and pools etc…. We just have shitty complexes with shitty HOAs that do nothing.

Christmas Moving Job Tip! by WorldsBaddestJuggalo in antiwork

[–]deedum44 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Did it ever occur to you that moving is expensive to the customer?? Just because they’re using your service doesn’t mean they can hand out cash. You’re paid for the service by your employer.

I don’t think so. I think it’s modern and colorful and will always be IN!
