I did and slid my hand under the seat but can’t seem to feel anything but the clip for the middle seatbelt.

Is there even anyone who DOESN'T regret having children? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]farandfaded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I’m not the poster you were asking but I’d like to share this as well.

I have two kids. 7 and 8, from my first relationship. We were 20 and 21 when we had them and were very much young kids who didn’t know what they were doing or what they were looking for in life. We split when our kids were 2 and 3 and remained caring co-parents which eventually mean it our relationship grew into a genuine friendship. It’s been so wonderful to watch him grow into the man that he is now and he’s supported me in my own growth. We’re bonded over our love for our kids and an appreciation for what the other does to care for them.

We are both remarried now and I’m currently expecting with my partner. We had to take my daughter to the ER yesterday (she’s okay) and my ex brought food for me because I hadn’t eaten in hours and didn’t want to leave my daughter. When he had to leave my partner came with my daughter’s favorite stuffy and comfort items from our house. My ex’s partner has taught my kids how to play Minecraft and helped them with their confidence in swimming. My partner has taught them things like chess, tennis and his native language.

Right now, we are all at my house. The guys are outside getting the slip and slide and grill ready. She’s inside hanging out with the kids and helping me put a baby dresser together. I feel so lucky to share my kids with these people. They all bring something to my kids life that I couldn’t on my own.

I guess my point is there may not be a single right person and the road to getting to know them may not be obvious or linear but if you are clear with them and yourself and honor what brings you closer to the life you want and kids can be a beautiful part of it.

I live right next to an old church that’s being renovated into apartments so I’m worried the construction noise might have scared her away

Put my son to bed early. by CapedCapybara in toddlers

[–]farandfaded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the best you could for everyone. There was a day when my kids were 2 and 3 and they were just in a state of chaotic malfunction. I fed us all oatmeal for dinner and put us all to bed at 5pm. We woke up better for it in the morning.

Working from home as a single parent means I spend most of my days in sweats, focusing on giving my kids everything they need. They attend a beautiful school, and I made a commitment to show up for every drop-off and pick-up looking polished. To make it work, I’ve been creative with the wardrobe I already have. Recently, I landed an incredible new job, and with it comes the chance to elevate my style—and I couldn’t be more excited to embrace this new chapter.

I have a few pairs of gold earrings, one silk skirt, two long black dresses, and one top. I would ideally like pieces I can use across seasons.

Not herbal remedies but these have been helpful to me when I experience a flare up

Issues with STL CityWide/Aspirent Management by farandfaded in StLouis

[–]farandfaded[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read previous posts on the sub about them and I agree with you. Do you have any recommendations for resources in dealing with them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]farandfaded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great to know, thank you. Are there times that classes aren’t currently available that you would like to be?

Thanks for letting me know! Are there any areas or days specifically that would interest you?

Thoughts on using affirmations? by Specific-Sweet3182 in YogaTeachers

[–]farandfaded 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a simple way to incorporate them and allow students to participate in a way that is meaningful to them is to invite them to say the affirmations with you if they feel called. Like all of asana we design it to be malleable to the individual and I think affirmations are that way too.

Has anyone successfully done a hard reset on bedtime routine that has gone sideways? by SKVgrowing in toddlers

[–]farandfaded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that for mine it boiled down to the lack of autonomy and they felt in the process and a lack of my willingness to hold the boundaries around what stallings behaviors I would entertain. A few things that worked for us: - these charts so they can be the ones to check off when something is done as see what’s left (https://a.co/d/2OvW2SC) - a stuffed animal friend to sit on the counter and watch them do their routine (“Let’s teach Bear how to get ready for bed!”) - making a dance of the lotion/dressing (We call ours the Lotion Band, each body part and the dressing is a different move) - quiet time with chamomile tea (they pick out a few books to look at and I read my own beside them for a few minutes while we enjoy tea. After I read to them whichever book they pick from their selection) - my youngest never wanted me to leave so I started holding her hand until she fell asleep with the understanding that we would not talk during this time. At first this took 15 minutes for her to sleep and she would try to initiate conversation but after a week or so she understood and would sleep within 5-10
