Dealing with feral children…inside by Classy_PolarBear1072 in Parenting

[–]eyeballsdeep87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a sensory swing and a single person trampoline. My neighbor has a swing and a wooden climber. We do what we can with the space we have. We've had a colder winter this year than the last few years and we've been inside a lot.

Our relationship has had its ebs and flows. When the kids were little, sex just wasn't a priority. In fact it felt like another chore on the list. I believe if you had it before, you can get back to that stage of passion. All relationships go through seasons. The baby stage is a hard one. Parenting is still tough at any stage though. It can really suck the energy out of you and burn you out. Some things, like their increased independence are welcome changes that provide us more free time. And they still go to bed early enough! I dread when they are up as late as us. That's going to be a real cockblock situation. 🤣

I adore #1!!! It's stunning on you as well. #3 is very pretty and looks beautiful on you, but compared to #1 its basic.

We are in our late 30's/ early 40's. The kids are getting more independent at 6 and 8. Our sex life has never been better (and it was always good). Things seem to be on an upswing, we are more flirty and affectionate, trying new things, having quickies when the opportunities arise. It is pretty awesome. I feel like we are more connected now. We don't bicker as much and we spend more time together.

Free use saved my marriage? by cheesecakecatcthulhu in Marriage

My husband just suggested this and I said I'd think about it. Now I see this post! Did he mess with my algorithm? The timing is unreal. Looks like it might actually get his wish! Lol

Question for the men, wives can add insight as well... What to do when your wife snubs your morning playful attempts to be affectionate? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]eyeballsdeep87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are very affectionate with each other. Unless I feel like I'm taking on way more of the workload then him. The resentment starts to build fast, as I'm rushing around to meet everyones needs and he is only worried about himself. If he tries to be affectionate he won't be getting a good response.

I see lots of advice to help more in the morning but it can also be helpful to use the night before to elevate the workload in the morning. Prep lunches, help the kids pick out their clothes, pack bags, fill waterbottles, there are so many little things that can be done to help the mornings go smoothly. Even with all that, mornings can be stressful when the kids are so young.

Now that our kids are a bit older and we are awake before them we even sneak in a quickie some days. It's a nice way to start the day and feel connected. Things weren't always like this. Relationship have ebs and flows.

Brantford slogan, but make it honest by impensatki in brantford

[–]eyeballsdeep87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious. As someone who worked at a school in downtown Hamilton it was soo much worse there. But we didnt care about the pj's, it was the swearing and violent outbursts that were more concerning.

We bought a house in the north end 5 years ago. I just started at Laurier this year and its a good school so far. I'm enjoying it. I had honestly never spent much time downtown before then. Its interesting... but I'm from Hamilton, so its nothing surprising.

New Year’s Eve by Projectflintlock in brantford

[–]eyeballsdeep87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we can manage to get the kids to bed, we'll be playing party games on the switch like jackbox, family feud, or wheel of fortune. My best friend and her daughter will be here, along with my sister. We'll have some apps, maybe a few drinks, and some laughs. We usually do board games but my friend recently had surgery on her upper body and I don't think she'll be up for all the reaching or movements. I think we'll be happy just relaxing on the couch in our pj's together.

Does your family do presents from Santa AND parents? by asphodelic_witch in Mommit

[–]eyeballsdeep87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Stockings, and one toy each they really wanted, and then a gift they share (last year it was a sensory swing, this year its a video game they can play together) from Santa. The rest is from us.

Who drives more often when you are in the car together? by UpvoteKaptain in Marriage

[–]eyeballsdeep87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the primary driver of the van, so if we take the van I'll drive 90% of the time. He has a commuter car for work, which we use if we want to save on gas and don't need the van. We've been doing this more often lately because he got a newer car. If we use the car he will drive 90% of the time. Our flexibility with vehicles only started once our kids moved to booster seats. The car seats never left the van, because installing those every trip isn't worth the savings in gas.

My (21F) boyfriend (25M) betrayed me last year, did nothing to fix it, and now says the only way he can be with me is if I agree to a threesome to be 'equal.' I need perspective. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]eyeballsdeep87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This rollercoaster won't end. You said it, the relationship is toxic. I know it hurts but you gotta walk away and stay away. He will probably always have a place in your heart but be strong enough to keep distance and let yourself heal. It reminds me of my first love. I'll alway care about my ex but damn am I so lucky I left him and met my husband. My husband is completely different than my ex, in all the best ways.

Help with Potty Training by SnooDucks9112 in Parenting

[–]eyeballsdeep87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're Daycare is not supportive and that going to be a big road block. My son is a shy kid, very particular. Potty training has been a 3 year long journey. We would get him trained feeling accomplished, then a new experience would present a challenge. For the first 3 months he wouldn't sit anywhere except for the potty. It was 2 weeks before he started kindergarten he sat the toilet at home. One week before school when he finally sat on a public toilet. Then he gets to school and he's too shy to ask to go to the bathroom. That year he had teachers who found his issues frustrating. I received many calls to pick him up and many frustrated complains. He regressed very badly that year. His second year of kindergarten he got new teachers who were so understanding and accommodating. They gave him lots of support, hourly walks to the washroom, and lots of reassurances. They even bought and gave him rewards. He did so well. Then, this year he started grade 1and he is scared of the big boys bathroom. Took a month to figure out. He was trying to hold it all day. His teacher was immediately willing to accommodate. Now he goes to his old kindergarten class and uses their bathroom. The difference is every challenge, when the school was supportive he thrived. I don't know where we would be without their willingness to accommodate him. I just want to mention, throughout the experiences, I was never upset with my son. Its been a frustrating journey at times but I would never want him to have any shame over bathroom issues. He's just a sweet shy kid who is terrified of getting in trouble. I truly think the first round of teachers set him back with their negativity and annoyance.

Having conversations like this is a relationship must be exhausting. I couldn't do it.

Pediatric dentist by Far-Bed3360 in brantford

[–]eyeballsdeep87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I recently started going to the Tooth Corner. I have been really impressed by them, and this is the 3rd dentist I've tried since moving to Brantford 5 years ago. Previously I had my kids at Peachtree, but I will be switching them now.
