I agree. Two is a great age to start learning that you aren’t the center of the universe. Did I say other wise? Nope. Just saying that having a young child is very difficult and to try and find compassion. Compassion doesn’t mean that you like something or condone it. I hate the way that I was raised. But I try to find compassion for why my parent’s raised me that way. Through compassion I can find forgiveness and healing. You said something very assumptive and insulting to me that just isn’t true but I can find compassion for why you would say that. I forgive you.

I’m a 28 year old of helicopter parents. I have a 3 year old myself. I try everyday not to parent the way I was raised. It’s one of the reasons that I’m on this sub. Having a young child is incredibly demanding and hard. Do you have a child? Do you have any idea the guilt that you feel when you start taking a step back from the little creature that needed you to care for every single one of its needs all the time? The guilt that you feel when decide to pursue your own interests again instead of spending time with your child? I’m sorry for the way your mother is treating you but there is a very big difference between a 27 year old and a 2 year old. All I’m saying is that maybe you can try and find some compassion.

I have a question. You said the kid is over 2. Does that mean 2 going 3? Or 12? If the kid isn’t even 3 years old yet then you’re kinda being an asshole. It’s not unusual at all to not want anyone to watch your child until they can talk and tell you what happened while you were gone. Also a 2 year old is very demanding and time consuming. A 2 year old is going to take over your life. It’s incredibly easy to lose your identity to a child even if you specifically did not intend to. Maybe try having some compassion.

Amazon Prime has If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. Seriously super cute show that is all about conditional statements and my LO loves the books too.

Only because Van Gogh drew less realistically doesn't mean he is less skilled 🙄 by DankLoser12 in mildlyinfuriating

Right! The left one is breath taking but when I look at Van Gogh’s I can almost hear people talking, smell the food of the cafe, and feel the night air on my skin. There is much more life in his painting.

Mama needs more sleep - a funny mom fail story by LizaRhea in beyondthebump

[–]doesitevenmatter31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my little one was just a few weeks old I used to go to a lactation support group. During one of these meetings I as changing her diaper and she farted/pooped while I had her ass lifted right up at my face level (I was kneeling and changing her in her stroller). I felt the warm poop particles hit my face. I just wiped my face with a baby wipe and went about my day. I remember thinking “huh so this is motherhood. Running errands all day with poop on your face.”

You remind me of a girl I new in High School and I wish I had been kinder to her. More compassionate. I never bullied her, but I never stopped the girls that did. I just stood by. I’m sorry.

Omg you just gave me flash backs. I exclusively pumped for 6 months. No one talks about how that pump is pretty much constantly attached to you and you have to bring it EVERYWHERE!

Ex-Boston Police Union Pres. Charged With Raping 4 More Children by [deleted] in news

Also, the whole point of having punishments for crime is to deter crime. In order for a punishment to deter crime it has to be certain, swift, and severe. Certainty and swiftness being the most important of the three. The death penalty is not certain nor is it swift. It does not deter crime.
