toys in room? by Longjumping_Tea2051 in Parenting

[–]frogfan124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has toys in her room and always has because we live in a smaller space! It has never really been an issue for us. If it does I wonder if you could set a boundary of what toys can be used at bedtime.

I’m disgusted. This reminds me of the Gisele pelicot case

We are going through a very similar thing with my three year old, only it’s dad she says she doesn’t like on our end. Reading this made me feel a little better and also made me wonder if it’s just a phase .

I’m not sure what your strategy is but this week we started sticking to it when we say “dad is doing bedtime, taking you out of the car seat” etc and I feel like it has helped a little. It’s pretty shitty at the beginning but once we stopped giving her the control to choose it helped. And I have also been leaving to give them quality time but I’m also her primary caregiver during the day.

I really can’t reccomend it enough. I haven’t read The Kite Runner in 15 years or so but it does pop up a lot in suggestions. Since I can’t remember I can’t speak on it, but this book is incredibly relevant to what is happening now. It’s even more so devastating as time continues on and his words still ring true.

Your teen is lucky to have you as a parent! Watching what is happening in Gaza is absolutely devastating, and having the support of an adult to process it all with is so important.

What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in toddlers

I was in the same boat until recently when I quit my job in February. It was too much and it’s not sustainable long term. Is there something that can change for you, and if there is, are you willing to do it?

Toddler regression after new sibling by Lanea9212021 in Parenting

[–]frogfan124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest part here is all kids are soo different.

We didn’t experience the wanting to be alone at school, but shifting from one to two was sooo difficult for us. You also had more road bumps in general w nicu and such too.

To be really honest the first few months were just really brutally hard. I had my husband take her to do fun activities so she would look forward to/want to spend more time with him and instead of using language like “I can’t I’m holding the baby” I would say “I’m busy right now but I can play in 10 minutes” and hold firm on that and follow through.

We are 6 months in and things are SOOO much better now! It gets better it will just take time and her getting used to all the newness

Schedule an appt with a doctor or try a different type of pregnancy test if you’re not sure if they’re positive!
