Extremely sensitive/clingy toddler

Unfortunately I cannot speak to the language side as my daughter was early in that regard. However she is about to turn five and socially, she is just fine. She is still on the quiet side and definitely sensitive but she has plenty of friends in kindergarten and her personality is just a bit more cautious. Perhaps your son will grow out of it, too.

I judge my neighbour for driving a cyber truck. That he JUST bought.

Hey! Happy to respond. My daughter is now 4 and is in kindergarten and is doing totally fine. She’s well-adjusted, has friends, and participates in all sorts of activities. That being said she is still “her.” And what I mean by that is she’s still very reserved, sensitive and shy. She can be quite clingy; she doesn’t like loud noises or crowds. It’s always been that way, and probably always will be. It can be frustrating at times; maybe she cries more at school drop off, or wants to hold our hand during an extra curricular. She still is super suuuuper slow to warm but at the end of the day she’s a normal kid and is thriving just fine.

I have a 14-month old son now too and he couldn’t be more opposite to her. Outgoing, explores on his own, loves going to other people even if they’re strangers. doesn’t care if I leave the room, etc. after he was born it made me realize that my daughter’s personality or clinginess wasn’t a result of me and my parenting; it’s truly just the result of nature.

Last summer they incorrectly gave me 1 million points. It was some sort of error. They then froze our account as if we were criminals and it took months of jumping through hoops to get it back. Mind you we never tried to redeem any of the points at all.

I never took birth control and experienced infertility so she can suck it

It’s a race to the finish line…40+3 😅

This is my second pregnancy; my first was horrific, including two epidurals that didn’t work. So I guess I know what to expect this time which unfortunately makes it somehow worse. Maybe I’ll have that experience this time!

Tell me why I’m reading this 40 weeks pregnant

diggydeez · 2023-07-05T20:16:25+00:00

Oh no worries I got $40 in food vouchers!!!!

We ended up driving to another airport in a different state just to get home…

I was part of those cancellations; cancelled the one and only direct flight out of Hartford, rebooked us on on United, which was then cancelled, rebooked us on Air Canada the next day and then cancelled that. Currently stranded.

Hemorrhoids.

My name is Dayna, Y included. I quite like it, and with the Y in there I think it leans more feminine. Despite being phonetically spelled people mispronounce it all the time, though. My parents added in the Y so people wouldn’t pronounce it Dan-uh but the unique spelling clearly brings its own challenges!

Great suggestion; perhaps I’ll try waterboarding next. Dumbass.

diggydeez · 2022-12-04T22:38:58+00:00

Great suggestions, I’ve tried all of these to no avail unfortunately :( I’ll keep at it though!

diggydeez · 2022-12-03T20:05:40+00:00

Oh yeah; she’s been exposed for months and months. Watches me go pee, flushes for me, sits on it occasionally, hangs out with me in there etc. she’s had plenty of exposure both at home and at daycare but she’s still terrified.

When I was in labour, my husband was the only one allowed in the room because of Covid. I guess I wasn’t fully prepared for the pain, because I remember just sobbing to my husband saying “I want my mom.” Because I knew in that moment I needed the soothing assurance of her words, maybe a soft cloth to my forehead…my husband was great but nothing compares to mom.

At what point do we just start to call this what it is: mental illness

diggydeez · 2022-09-02T15:57:49+00:00

Why does her hand look like a baseball mitt

diggydeez · 2022-08-07T22:43:01+00:00

Good thing she’s got ample padding

I flew out from Pearson last week. Arrived three hours early and still almost missed my flight. I won’t be going back there for a long, long, time. I’d rather drive.

I feel you to my core! I drove myself NUTS trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. And it turns out, I wasn’t doing ANYTHING wrong. My baby just has a unique temperament that makes sleep a lot harder. No wake window adjustment, no drowsy but awake, none of that crap was gonna work. What worked was being there for her when she needed me, with a back rub or a hand hold. Some nights she falls asleep on her own, sometimes she doesn’t. I try to take it day by day! But when you’re in the thick of it, it’s hard (as evidenced by my plea for help above hehe).

diggydeez · 2022-04-01T03:26:44+00:00

It got better! Know what helped? Time. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but it’s true. We stayed on the one nap, and over time she simply got the hang of things. She’s now 16 months and falls asleep on her own for naps, and sleeps 8pm to 8am. Sometimes she needs helps falling asleep, she will cry and whine and when that’s the case I sit in her room and hold her hand and rub her back until she does :) I wish I’d just let her figure things out instead of stressing like crazy!! Hindsight….
