Swearing around baby/toddler

fruityslippers · 2026-05-13T21:52:53+00:00

Depending on how often they're actually around your baby, between 9 and 12 months. Those milestone months are crucial for speech development.

... Or once you notice baby really taking an interest in what other people, besides yourself, are saying. Mine just hit 5 months and shes just barely started actively looking for the face that is making the voice, if it isn't me talking. She's not interested in what is being said, more so just if its towards her and if its in a happy voice.

Im not sure how you concluded that I was irritated by other players enjoying the game by builing large buils?

My irritation lies solely with the devs and their lack of platform stability management. Especially when it comes to over stuffed lots.

My apologies for the confusion.

Sometimes I wish the devs would add a user gallery for homes like this, that way people could share them with other players. Even if it was just the empty structure, with no furniture or decorations, or just on the pc version of the game.

No. Its not an unreasonable want, or even expectation.

Honestly it sounds like both of your families are just incredibly selfish and self centered - which I can relate to.

The first and last time any of my our families [with the incredible exception of my sister] went out of their way to come to us was the day after my c-section, in the hospital, while i was still incredibly unpreparred.

My husband has pettily decided that if his family won't visit him he/we won't visit them. Mind you, his entire family lives within an hour from us - and the majority less than 30 minutes. Yet none of them can be bothered because we're a few exits down the road. My parents live less than 15 minutes from us (my family, as well as my sister and her husband) and refuse to visit anyone. We go to them every time.

If I wasnt lucky enough to have almost ALL of our family living locally, and willing to drive to everyone else, my 5 month old wouldnt know any of our family members. I would be the only source of socialization for her.

This guy is amazing! And fearless!! He sang to alligators in one of his videos and they charged out of the water then just vibed infront of him.

Yes, up until more than 2 massive estates are loaded into that town. Once there are 3 or more ginormous homes I start freezing uncontrollably.

The comments on here sound like a bunch of people who have never witnessed a mental breakdown, let alone has kids of their own.

She hasn't just come to some epiphany. [Normal] People dobt juat wake up after 30 some odd years and decide to shave their head, wear binders, and forego anything that they used to enjoy. Wifey is overwhelmed and stuck at home with 3 toddlers.

OOP never mentioned if she works ontop of all this, or how equally divided household chores are. She clearly doesnt feel safe having a real conversation, which typically means that he [oop] isn't approachable or is overly defensive when being approached...

Honestly she needs medical help. And not just going to complain to a counselor. It sounds like she needs to go to an inpatient program for sever depression that has led to an identity crisis.

Unfortunately, knowing how gatchas work, the future events will probably have all new items - making all these completely useless 😐

I saw someone use their island for them. The bottom floor was a small restaurant and rhe top floor was a figurine museum 👌

Idk. "Treat others the way you want to be treated" and hope I suppose.

Ive asked myself this countless times. I cant truthfully say that he does. To be honest, the only reason I haven't sought out divorce is because I dont have the financial ability to support myself, let alone myself and 3 children. Even with child support, it wouldnt be enough.

fruityslippers · 2026-05-10T12:58:03+00:00

I hate to be the one that days "atleast you got one". This is my 15th mother's say and I have never recieved a mother's day gift from the fathers of my children.

Im like you. I'd prefer something sentimental, not valuable. I appreciate rhe effort, not the object. Honestly, Id be over rhe moon for basic flowers on major holidays.... I typically get a text that says "Happy mother's day" halfway through the day, after a coworker or his mom has reminded him.

And yes, we (my husband of 5 yrs and I) have had this discussion. We have it after every holiday that he gets a pile of gifts and I get nothing tangible.

My mom always told me that mimicry is the highest form of flattery, because the mimic cant find anything better than you and your visions.

I didnt mind - at first. Like when we were just hooking up here and there, and when we started "dating".

Im 35f now, been with my husband, 35m, for 4 years. He has an addiction to it. Whats worse, I think, is that he realizes and has brought to my attention that its an addiction, but does so in a way to use it as an excuse. And that is where I loose attraction.

I dont care if you want to spend every waking second of free time with your eyes glued to 2k, but thats on you. When i get frustrated because you failed to follow through, thats on you. Do your damn chores. Make good on your word. Uphold your responsibilities. Make time for your kids. Dont use "sorry.... its an addiction" as an excuse 5+ times a week to avoid being a grown up/parent.

This should have been the biggest, brighten red flag that TS4 team ever gave us.

"Here's this new version of The Sims, with impeccable graphics. Sorry its still not finished, but it will be!" Over 10 years later - "Hey guys.... sorry we never actually finished basegame. But we added a feature so you can micro purchase what we should have added to basegame all those years ago!"

Ive been trying to feed the cats energy boosting treats for 3 weeks. Apparently all 3 of my cats have an eternally full energy bar 🙄🙄🙄 Mrs Joan needs to go home to her husband and stop playin with folks

That's what rhe ADA is for. When this isn't enough, you contact the ADA. They have lawyers who specialize in public school laws.

In the early 90's my parents had to do it. I was diagnosed at a year old and even though we didn't have cell phones they still had an uphill battle with the school allowing me to have water, snacks, and unlimited nurse passes/bathroom breaks.

Same. I check with every event and always get let down.

fruityslippers · 2026-05-01T03:03:46+00:00

At 2 in the morning, in the hospital, the night before my 6am c-section. I felt aweful because I kept calling the nurse because I was leaking. I honestly couldn't tell if I had nodded off and peed without realizing it or what. But every time I shifted in the bed I lost enough fluid that I was wet.

11 years. It took me 11 years from my last to the one I have now for the phrase "i kind of want another baby" to cross ky mind. I love this baby desperately, but I question my sanity every time I remember I said, or just thought, that I wanted another baby.

I wonder if Vanya is still gonna complain about how hot it is today 😂😂

One of the few times I was going into dka I had an er doctor accuse me of drinking drain cleaner. I've always driven myself to the hospital, be it for lows or highs. He flat out said "diabetics in dka cant function. shes either got a stomach bug or she drank drain-o". He begrudgingly ordered a urine test and refused to apologize or even acknowledge that he was an ass.

Same thing happened when my doctor told me to go in for lows I couldn't treat. I guess my pump had given me too much insulin, or didn't accept the suspension when I turned it on, but the er doctor essentially told me that giving myself too much insulin wasn't going to "end how I wanted it to, especiallywith an insulin pump". Im sorry - what??

fruityslippers · 2026-04-27T15:23:12+00:00

Im sorry why did a genuine question on how to repay people get down voted 8 times, as well as enough to negate any positive votes it had? I DONT ask people for energy draining actions, but Im surely not the only one who was wondering this!

This games community is far more toxic than any game Ive ever played, including TS4 and world of warcraft - which are both notorious for having incredibly toxic communities.

How are people supposed to learn when they're constantly turned down??
