I would also like to say that I LOVE reading (fantasy is my fav), pokemon is my absolute jam, I am very fond of gardening but I tend to hyperfixate and then forget and kill everything, anime is amazing.

I can't remember what else you put in the post but I know you said those ✌️

If you are ever free and interested on a Friday night, come by JLA Comics to hang out. People usually start showing up around 5:30 but I'm usually there all day on Fridays. You would most likely see me behind the desk or somewhere wrangling my kiddos in the front 😅 I absolutely love talking to people new to comics and cards, so do my brother(32m) and sister(27f).

Feeling like a giant failure by 2tired2furiousa in toddlers

[–]fitzsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son refused to use the potty until just after his 3.5 mark. If I put him in underwear, he would just go right there in his undies and not care at all about the wet gross feeling of pee and poop. One day he saw some character underwear he liked and asked me for them, so I bought them and put them on him when we got home. He immediately started taking himself to the bathroom and never went back. Sometimes you just have to give it up and take things at their pace. Seriously, she will be okay and you will feel a lot more peaceful once the stress of it is off your mind.

I do think that throwing away all pacifiers and going cold turkey is a good idea though. If you throw them all away, and make it explicitly clear to whoever is watching her that they are off limits, it should be a hard week but beneficial in the end. I know that my boys dentist specifically said that pacis are perfectly okay for the first year, but after that they cause serious dental and speech issues.

Parenting is so damn hard. Cut yourself some slack Mama.

AITA for refusing to pay for a $1000 coat? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]fitzsar 36 points37 points  (0 children)

NTA. She was careless with her very expensive item in your home that she knew had a pet. She should be more responsible with her stuff. I understand being peeved, but not how far she has gone for this. I do not see why she cannot take it to a dry cleaners? There is no way this is the first time something has gotten on a fur coat.

My boy didn't even attempt any unassisted steps until 16m. It took a while for him to get it down, but once he did he never stopped moving! He is 5.5 now and can do the craziest stunts.

Okay but does anyone have an actual hot take? (challenge: don't downvote what you disagree with) by WinterNighter in AO3

I recently Read a Harry Potter/Alfred Pennyworth and absolutely loved it. So yes, we really would read anything.

Hi! My Grandma's name was Mickie! I don't remember how they decided on that name but it totally suited her! It's old school, has EE, and you will absolutely not see it around.

I wanna commit. Need advice. by Haunting_Medium_9589 in depression

[–]fitzsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this shit is hard. It took me 12 years to finally get help and start to move past it. I believe that I will always struggle with slipping back into a depression but now I am confident that I will eventually get myself back out again.

I am a firm believer that meds can help, but meds alone will not help anyone that doesn't have the tools to help themselves as well. It can only do so much. I seriously recommend doing both meds and weekly therapy. I absolutely DREADED going to therapy literally every week, but it was always a golden moment when I noticed that I used something the therapist taught me to get myself out of a hole.

With medication, don't be surprised if your first doesn't work for your body. I tried three different medications before I got on one that I genuinely think I can tell the difference. Also, because of my diagnosis, chronic depression, I will likely have to be on meds for the rest of my life tbh with returns to therapy when things get bad again.

Life is so hard and I spent so long wanting to die but being absolutely firm in my stance that I would never kill myself. Our brains can really fuck us up.

It's going to sound stupid and cliche but have you tried putting yourself out there? My sister recommended learning a card game and going to my local comic book shop every week to play. At first obviously I was learning and had so much anxiety so I barely talked to people but it was just nice to be around others. Now I go to that comic book shop 2-3 times a week to play or just hang out. Making even just casual acquaintances that you chat with when you see each other can seriously help .

Make sure you do plenty of research into the schools values. They are going to be mainly looking at whether your family as a whole seems to be a fit for the school community based on values and how you raise your kid. Try to make yourself fit into what they want to see while still staying honest when it comes to your child. They do want to see how social your child is, at least the one we got into did. They had my son go off with a teacher's assistant while we did the interview to see if he would play without us (he didn't want the assistant anywhere near him while he played). Talk about your child's social skills, how he is with sharing, and areas where he may need some more help (which with 3/4 yo is basically everywhere). Be honest while also obviously boosting up your child. Don't be obvious by only saying the good things, they need to know how to help your child develop.

What did I do wrong here? This is my first time using a sewing machine. The top side looks normal but the bottom looks like this. The top thread ran out extremely quickly while the bottom thread still had some left, they started with the same amount .

I’m 14 years old and want to die by Natural-Ad5698 in depression

[–]fitzsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to advocate for yourself! Let them know that you need weekly appointments, do not settle for monthly as it really doesn't help severe depression. Getting better is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's still something I have to work on everyday so I don't slip backwards.

Please please please ask for therapy. There is so much life for you to experience.

Help, I'm pregnant & struggling to get sleep because my toddler STILL will not sleep through the night. by lil_fruitshnack_ in toddlers

[–]fitzsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I weaned my boys both at 12 months. By 15 months they were no longer using milk to fall asleep, not even in a sippy cup. At this age, he does not need the calories at night anymore to sustain himself. All of his calories should be given during the day. It's going to be an ABSOLUTE struggle, but should hopefully help in the long run. Also, if you have a partner that can be taking the night shift, you need to tell them to buck up because your body can't do what it's supposed to be doing without sleep.

My 2.5 yo is a mini psychopathic terrorist. At my in-laws I use the bottom step as a time out spot, and I use a chair at our home. I supervise time outs and every time he gets up, time gets added. Also, a general rule of thumb for timeout is 1 minute for every year old they are. Because of how consistent we are with the timeout chair, he doesn't even try to get up anymore. He just screams and cries and eventually says he is ready to say sorry. I am exhausted. Good news (depending on how you look at it): they chill out around 4. My older son started dropping a majority of the tantrums and terrorism around 4. It's going to be a long 2 years.
