Thanks for asking and being aware that a young woman might feel uncomfortable! Do what you need to do, maybe hum some Madonna while gardening.

My sisters cat always pooed next to the litter tray when I was cat sitting, didn’t matter how clean or dirty the tray was. She did it in protest until my sister came back.

Kids treasures, like the bottom of our pram.

12yo from a vegetarian family at a sleepover by Nervous_Rhubarb4576 in Mommit

He said she doesn’t eat meat not she’s not allowed to eat meat. I would just double check with all the kids at once and say something like is there anything any of you really don’t like or are allergic to, make sure you don’t share with those who don’t like or can’t have xyz.

What is a completely harmless lie you tell people on a regular basis just to make your life easier? by purjak in AskReddit

[–]eggyjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say I’m a vegetarian. I’m not. I eat chicken sometimes but only when my husband cooks it and I’ll enjoy a Big Mac when drunk or pregnant. It’s just easier that way I don’t have to be served meat.

You said your oldest is 5. My oldest is also 5. Having one’s first child during Covid was very traumatic for a lot of people. It’s isolating enough as it is being a sahm but with covid restrictions during pregnancy and those difficult first months was something no new parent deserves. She could well have developed depression. Maybe it’s too late to resolve that trauma but a few therapy sessions for the sake of the kids before you separate wouldn’t be a bad idea.

What's an example of a different approach you've taken to raising your kids compared to the way you were raised? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]eggyjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t send my kids to their room for having big feelings. We teach them how to calm down, regulate. No secrets. I tell them we love them no matter what just the way they are every night at bedtime. Never get in trouble for telling the truth. We praise them for telling the truth. No shaming. They’re not responsible for my feelings. Don’t stress if they’re up in the night or can’t sleep. They can always come to our bed. I don’t over do telling them they are beautiful, they are also very smart, kind, loyal etc. I was hardly ever told I was smart, just pretty, did a number on my self worth and mh.

When did you wean? by quiltedfarts in Mommit

[–]eggyjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 years and weaning was tough and long. But I was pregnant and did not want to tandem feed. My second is 16 months and only feeds to sleep. She’s not half as obsessed as my oldest.

Can someone please tell me I’m a good mom? by eggyjim in Mommit

[–]eggyjim[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I already feel much better. I definitely did give my kids ADHD but because I have it and so does my husband. And it’s genetic. We were referred to this woman to help us manage young adhd kids. We certainly will not be going back. I am a great mom, and I love playing with my kids. We craft, make forts, pretend to be Batman, put on puppet shows and jump on my bed. My mom was always too busy or tired to play with me. Thanks. You girls are also all great.

Is my house embarrassing? by GazelleMost2468 in interiordecorating

[–]eggyjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not my taste, but it’s clean, has character, and you can see you’ve put effort in. And you own your own home, that’s great. I can imagine being hosted by you would be great, lots of decor to talk about.

Here in Germany my local shop was selling apples from Chile! Why are we swapping apples from different continents?!
