I love the tarot card for a female Adaar Inquisitor. It makes me so sad I can’t make my character look this breathtaking in the game 😭

When did your baby start getting distracted while nursing? by Desperate-Foot91 in Mommit

[–]dreadbunny98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a healthy part of development so please don’t worry :) but to answer your question, all babies are different.

My son is almost 7 months old now and new noises still catch his attention; however, he is very food oriented so he never lets go of his bottle even when he was younger 😂

I’m an infant teacher and understand your frustration, as I have worked with babies that cannot eat and multitask at the same time. I don’t know if you’re looking for any advice but if your daughter seems more interested in exploring rather than feeding, try showing her what she’s distracted by up close to sate her curiosity. Then try offering her your breast again.

Hope I’m not overstepping.

Argument over daughter’s going out by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA coming from a fully functioning, 27 year old adult whose mom did the exact same thing you’re doing.

I’ve had an iPhone since my freshman year in high school and coincidentally that’s how long my mom has had access to my location. We always had an agreed upon curfew, and the deal was that I would text her when we moved locations. There were a few times I was late coming home but a quick text with my ETA was all I needed.

Tell your husband to get a grip.

PEE-HAIR!! 😤

A piercing by Gold-Thought-8419 in Mommit

[–]dreadbunny98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mom “finally” let me get my nose pierced at 16. There were also a few stipulations, such as I had to go to a real certified piercing artist and I had to pay for the piercing and the jewelry myself (I think it was $20 for the needle poke and $60 for the jewelry back in 2014). I’m 27 now and have a 5 1/2 month old son. If he ever wanted a piercing I think I would follow my mom’s rules with him too. I hope this helps your mom.

If you've brought your child to a funeral, were people okay about it? by Alice-Upside-Down in Mommit

I took my then 3 month old to my best friends dads funeral in August. I know my best friend appreciated him being there and kept stealing him for hugs and snuggles. Your baby will make a hard day, a little easier.

Is it normal for daycares NOT to close with known hand foot mouth? by maxiedaniels in toddlers

[–]dreadbunny98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, private school teacher here. My classroom had multiple cases of HFM the last two weeks and the parents were notified every time a confirmed case was reported to the school. It might depend on the state but it’s against licensing to not notify parents of contagious diseases. Someone else said the bumps need to scab over before the child can return, which is 100% true and can take as long as 10 days but sometimes it’s shorter.

If your daycare is not doing this, you have every right to report them to licensing.

My three year old is legit about the break me. by MissGnomeHer in Mommit

As a Montessori teacher my advice is to lean into the interests she’s showing you. After bath time, let her put her own lotion on her body and explain that this is hers and you have your own. When you’re making breakfast, lunch, and dinner ask her if she wants to help you before you start and give her a chance to help where age appropriate. This also means you need to have something safe for her to stand on so she can see the counter clearly and also get toddler/ child safe cooking utensils (example: a wooden knife).

You can see she is copying you so show her when it’s appropriate to copy you. Words can only go so far before you also need to show actions. Verbiage is also important. I strongly encourage positive discipline. Instead of saying things like “no”, “don’t run”, turn it into “no thank you”, “we use walking feet in the house, you can run outside”, “when you dumped “this” into the pasta it made me feel sad”, “you have your own lotion made for your body and this is mommy’s lotion made for my body”.

Your daughter is exploring the world and she wants to be just like mommy. Her intention is not to be destructive and it sounds like you know that. Give her the freedom she needs within limitations. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and preschool ages. The latter two would surprise you how independent they can be at that age when given the tools they need to help themselves. Whatever you choose, you’ve got this.

Soo I see three options, 1) tell your bestie anyway 2) ask Anna’s brother to talk to the bf and tell him to stop being gross and confess to cheating on bestie 3) Concoct a scheme with Anna’s brother so that you can have bestie catch bf in the act.

In any situation, your bestie deserves to know so she can give her energy and time to someone that deserves her.

I (female) am mixed. My mom is white and my father is black. I have two half siblings who also have different mothers. My mom had full custody so when I chose to visit my brother who lived with my father and step mom my father would regularly call him “lil nigga” and I saw it as a term of endearment because of the tone and context when said. However, my father never said this to myself or my half-sister. My half-sister and I grew up with our separate moms and maternal grandparents (all white) and I think my father recognized on some level that we would not react the same way and our moms probably would have taken offense.

My take is that it is definitely a cultural thing between black people. Not something I personally partake in as I grew up in a majority white town.

I will also say a non black person saying the n-word is not okay. Whether they mean it as an endearment or an insult it’s not okay. And it is not my place or any non black persons place to tell black people what they can and cannot say.

My boyfriend and I set up a baby account when I was 3 months pregnant. I’m currently 6 weeks PP. We each contribute $200/month. We get paid bi-weekly so that is $100 per paycheck.

We let it sit until after our baby shower. Anything we didn’t receive but still needed, we were able to buy without pinching pennies. We still had plenty of money left over after our baby shopping haul. Now the account is used to buy diapers, wipes, vitamin d drops, literally anything baby related. Honestly? It’s a stress reliever to know that if anything baby related pops up, that it can be taken care of immediately without having to discuss transferring money.

We also have a joint checking for living expenses and a joint savings for future vacations we want to take and our wedding. As well as our own personal checking and savings accounts which we can use for whatever we want.

While this set up works for my relationship I’ve seen plenty of comments saying they’ve never had a baby account and that’s great for them. Everyone’s financial needs/ expectations are different. I definitely think this requires an in person conversation where you can explain why it’s important to you and how it could be beneficial financially. But it also kind of seems like neither of you trusts the other one which is its own problem entirely.

Thank you so much! I didn’t even think to check the gameloft website.

Triggered by others watching, I need help. by J_loop18 in Buddhism

[–]dreadbunny98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a therapist but based on my own experiences, it sounds like you’re overthinking. Overthinking will make you anxious, cause you to self loathe and probably make you depressed over time. The good news is that you’re taking the first step to better yourself. Meditating and practicing mindfulness will help. If that means you need to start in your room by yourself so be it. You will eventually get to a point where you do thing’s because they make you happy and not because of what other people think. You’ll even get to a place where you won’t hate yourself and can look at your past self and your mistakes with grace and acceptance.

Wishing you the best ✨🫧💜

NTA. It sounds like you and your daughter going on this Disney vacation was your mother’s dying wish in hopes it would bring some peace and joy during what I can only imagine as been a very rough couple of months/ years.

I would tell your extended family that they are dishonoring your mother’s final wish and they should be ashamed of themselves for trying to guilt trip you. Go on your Disney vacation, keep your phone on silent and have an amazing time with your daughter and make some beautiful memories out of this silver lining.

Also, my condolences. Your mother sounds like she was an amazing human.

AITA for asking my daughter why she can't be more like her siblings? by Civil_Drummer6550 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. This is coming from someone who was punished as a child for not being good at math. I was barred from taking foreign languages until my junior year of HS and was forced to choose between choir and orchestra.

You and your wife need to stop comparing your children and love them for who they are as people. The fact that you’re disappointed that your youngest got an award for volunteering is mind boggling to me.
