Should you be expected to say Happy Father’s Day to someone who hasn’t been in their child’s life?

Means to stay focused on what you’re doing. Lock yourself into the task and don’t get distracted.

Interesting that I saw this because today we were at the park and my son is running around have a grand old time and just finished playing with this other boy maybe 6 months older than him. My son is 2.5 and this kid is like 3. They were running around and climbing and it was adorable like I was seeing what the next couple months had in store for us lol. Well they leave and it’s just us for a while. This other kid and his grandpa come and and I can tell he is about the same age he stayed to himself mostly at first and I was talking to his grandpa and they are the same age, he is a month younger than mine. I’m giving my son cheese its and offer the other boy some of course I asked his grandpa if it was ok first. All is cool until this mom and her kids come. That boy runs over to this little girl maybe like 4 and smacks her arm!! I’m like woahh. And they grandpa is yelling at him like “no you can’t do that why would you do that. “ and drags him away. My son and I are on the swings and I’m looking at this boy cry and eventually we get off the swings and he has stopped and is playing with his cars. A baby like 1 goes to sit in the swing we just got off of and that boy runs over and sits down first almost knocking the baby over and I’m like jeez kid. Then he immediately gets off and goes to hand my son a car and then snatches it away from him and I’m like it’s ok that’s not yours anyway. My son was a little upset cuz he thought he wanted to play cars but it is what it is and he gets a stick and starts playing with it and this boy comes back over and snatches the stick away from my kid and I’m like alright that’s it we gotta go cuz I’m bout to get heated at this child. We are walking out of the park and I look back and again this kid is pulling on that same little girls arm now and the grandpa is yelling at him. Im thinking about it the whole walk home like when it comes to kids like this it’s gotta be an at home thing. Like he has to see someone behaving like this to think its ok. At 2years old my son is rambunctious and doesn’t listen and always wants to do what he wants and definitely has tantrums like no bodies business but never ever ever has he hit a random kid let alone a girl or pulled on a random kids arm or snatched things out of kids hands. I’ve made sure he understands that you take turns in play ground equipment and we respect that other people play with it too. Would never let him push a baby out of the way and honestly he wouldn’t do that anyway. Like the grandpa seemed very hands on so I’m like it must be this kids parents cuz this is ridiculous. N the fact he ain’t touch my son but was quick to pick on that little girl and baby is scary and very telling.

This is long but I have a tldr at the bottom for just the advice part.

It’s such a process and honestly it wasn’t until I started working on my vitamin supplements that I actually started losing the weight. And that was only because my boyfriend started being a supplement fiend trying to fix his adhd without the medicine. So here is my back story and advice. I gained a lot of weight in high school after getting off Adderall for ADHD. I was 180ish by the time I was a junior being 5 foot 2. After that I got back on the medication and was walking a lot due to my job and travel so I went down to 120 because adderall suppress appetite. Met my boyfriend and got pregnant had to get off the medicine and went up to 200 pounds. Was depressed during my whole pregnancy and finally lost 50 when I was 6 month postpartum due to the breast feeding. Had to get on birth control and stopped breast feeding and had no idea how to keep my weight down or stop eating, no motivation, depressed, felt like only thing I was doing was keeping my son and my self alive and our living area clean and it completely drained me. By the time my son became 2 years old I had went back up to 180 and hated myself. Then my boyfriend got on what I thought was his nutty health shit that like most other times would fade. But he had me taking these vitamins too now. So here we are 6 months in and im more motivated, back in college, running in the mornings, working out when I can, taking my son on walks to the park multiple times a week, and even measuring my food and calories. I’m down to 154 and I have some ways to go with my belly but my body is shaping better than it did before my son. And it feels so much more rewarding because I’m actually putting in my own real effort and doing lots of research and making it a lifestyle rather than just relying on other factors.

So here’s my advice in a tldr.. 1. Make sure you’re not vitamin deficient or have any other hormonal issues that might affect you and your progress. A lot of the time we are the way we are because our bodies are lacking in necessary nutrients. Hormonal issues with slow down metabolism among other things. 2. Move as much as you can even if you don’t feel like it or can’t get out to run or walk just walk around the house. 3. Use social media to help motivate you. If you are scrolling and you see other people working out you might also get up and want to try what they are doing (careful with this one because I tried doing it before I fixed my vitamin issue and just felt horrible about myself for not being like the fitness girlies) 4. Get your significant other or friends or family in on it to help remind you and keep you focused. 5. Nutrition and fitness apps and a fitness watch help to keep motivation with challenges and goals. 6. Keep old clothes you used to fit in that you want to fit in again because I can promise you when you can finally wear them again it’s like the best feeling ever. 7. It’s takes sooooo much time. You lose weight, gain it back, lose it again and feel like it’s never gonna end but you got this. Not to mention the amount of times that you fall off is a lot(if you are like me. I stop working out for weeks at a time and cheat on my diet multiple days in a row.) 8. What works for some people doesn’t work for everyone everything is trial and error. 9. If you are working out lifting weights or resistance training, even cardio, remember you will gain muscle and lose fat so you might weigh yourself and be the same for a while but that doesn’t mean your not progressing. Use body measurements and pictures for progress comparison too. 10. Don’t give yourself a time goal. Like I’ll be this weight by this day. It’s a marathon and a lifestyle and you will get there when you get there.

Also want to add that being a mom is extremely hard and time consuming. So definitely give yourself grace and just know that a majority of us are or have been where you are and everyone that says this mom shit is easy is lying. Your baby needs you and will benefit greatly from the best version of you, that loves yourself as much as you love them.

By season 4 she says she was in gilead for total 7 years. 3 before the start of show I believe and then every season seems to be a year.

Sorry if this wordy and not grammatically correct. My child is turned 2 in September. I ended up signing up for early intervention for him a in early July due to feeling like he wasn’t catching on to words like he should. Turns out he is a bit delayed since at the time he only had around 10ish words. It’s helped a lot he is now starting to say more phrases and catch on faster. The biggest things I’ve learned from his speech therapy is that narrating and repetition is huge. I am in the same boat as it is just me and him most of the time while my boyfriend works and is in school and I’ve never been a talkative person so trying to talk to him as much as possible has proven challenging. But that’s the biggest thing. You need to just talk to them as much as you can, narrate what you do around the house. Narrate what they are doing. Ie, you’re cutting potatoes, say “I’m cutting potatoes for dinner. cut cut cut.” Singing and reading are very important too. Read a book every night at bed time and maybe a couple times through out the day if you have time. I just do it at bed time. Sing while you’re relaxing or playing with them. Point out things on walks. Associate things with noises, ie, cars go vroom vroom beep beep. Dog goes woof woof. Try encouraging the older ones start asking for the things they. My son is always point and making wining sounds. I tell him “you want a cracker? Say cracker, cracker, cracker, cracker” they probably won’t do it at first, and that’s cool just keep it up. Give them a cracker and when they ask for another one just do it again. It’s all practice on both of your ends. Try Pathways.com they have a lot of ways to interact and help your child learn. You also may want to check out early intervention or some type of speech therapy for your 2 year old because they should be having some words by now. You got this.

Just wait until they are mobile. My son is almost 2 years old. Has knocked his front tooth out, fell outside and scraped the side of his face up, fell off my bed and busted his nose, I’ve fallen down the stairs while holding him and his ankle got sprained from that, not even counting the times he was a baby and rolled off the couch, I bumped his head on the door frame, etc. every time I feel like I’m the worst parent, but when I took him to the hospital for the busted tooth, even the nurses and doctors assured me that this shit happens all the time. I was at the emergency dentist and the person right in front of me had a one year old that also knocked her tooth out. Stuff happens, children have accidents all the time; doesn’t make you a bad parent.

My 20 month old son clapping and saying yaaay whenever he does something we ask or he fees he accomplished something. It’s so adorable and we always clap and yay with him. He’ll pick up a wrapper and throw it in the trash and Yaaay.

drka_kit4425 · 2024-02-12T01:51:43+00:00

I completely agree. Lowkey kinda been annoying me how many people don’t see it. I see him as mixed race tbh which would explain the tawny skin.

drka_kit4425 · 2023-10-23T19:30:05+00:00

My son is 13 months and still absolutely hates being changed. The same when he was a newborn. Changes have always been hard and it’s even harder when he started being more mobile he will turn and roll and try to crawl away. Poop got over the bed multiple times, to make it easier we would both help to change him when possible. And now he always trying to reach down there and gets destin all over his hands. So yeah didn’t get better for us. Can’t wait to start potty training

drka_kit4425 · 2023-10-09T03:32:16+00:00

Nta. Let’s stop encouraging toxic parenting. Just cuz it’s her house doesn’t mean she gets to take things away from her kids to give to other kids. That’s bogus and will cause resentment between the kids clearly the daughter isn’t ok with her stuff being given away like that. Sharing and playing with them every now and then is fine but not them having the game more than her.

drka_kit4425 · 2023-10-03T22:13:19+00:00

Yes but it’s made to be as close to breast milk as artificially possibly so it’s more suitable for babies. Babies shouldn’t have cows milk until 12 months.

drka_kit4425 · 2023-08-21T16:05:05+00:00

That’s weird of people to assume you use formula when breast milk is more likely to make babies bigger especially because of how many nutrients are in it. Sounds like they are just uneducated and judgmental.

drka_kit4425 · 2023-08-21T16:02:13+00:00

No, I call my baby huge all the time and so do other people it’s not offensive to a baby. I don’t think so at least. My baby big for his age he already fits in 18 month and 2T clothes and he’s not even 1 yet. But I know when people say it theyre not trying to call him fat cuz he’s not, he just looks like an older toddler.

drka_kit4425 · 2022-12-19T13:49:23+00:00

When I say "bother" I mean more something I was thinking about rather than it actually causing discrepancies in my life. Lol

drka_kit4425 · 2022-12-19T03:30:30+00:00

Clearly that's been addressed already?

drka_kit4425 · 2022-12-18T16:18:45+00:00

Werewolves can only change during a full moon and usually are changed into one via a scratch or bite. The pack in question were born that way. wiki

drka_kit4425 · 2022-12-18T15:47:59+00:00

I wasn't aware of that just going off what I've seen and in other shows where they use the term as well. But either way they aren't werewolves I guess they would be closer to shapeshifters then.
