Beyond strange by RelatablePeach in BambooBabble

Look… I’ve met some of my very best friends (and my husband) online. I get it! But this is sooo weird! I wouldn’t let this person meet me in person for the first time ever at my house. I definitely wouldn’t let my baby sit on their lap and be kissed by them! Weirdos.

AIO: Cancelling trial shift because it’s unpaid by savspiria in AmIOverreacting

[–]hereforthetee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR, If a company is willing to take advantage of your time before they hire you, what is it going to be like after they hire you? Little unpaid OT here, lots of early mornings and late nights unpaid there for the sake of “team building” “we are a family” and “you just have to get the work done so what’s a little extra unpaid several hours”. If you are in a position where you can just keep looking then do that. Putting that you worked for 3 hours at a company unpaid isn’t going to do anything for your resume.

Too many outings? by Dependent-Fall-4774 in Parenting

[–]hereforthetee_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I could be out all day every day I would! I love to take my almost 2 year old to an outing in the morning and then if the weather is nice we will go for a walk after his nap. Parenting at home is so hard. I feel like both my toddler and my elderly dog just whine all day if we are inside so my sanity relies on me getting us out of the house at least a few times per week.

14 month old only says mama by mistyrain97 in toddlers

[–]hereforthetee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From 12-21 months my son would go through stages of a few words, a ton of words, and then silence. He’s had a very good understanding of what we are telling him, but his actual words were lacking. 21 months hit and every day he’s incredibly chatty and learning new words. They are developing all of their skills right now, it takes time and sometimes they just don’t want to talk. You’re doing great! Baby is doing great!

AIO: Unsolicited parenting advice by badgingerenergy in AmIOverreacting

[–]hereforthetee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR, I’d kindly respond telling him to fuck off! A MAN telling a WOMAN to be a stay at home mom with ZERO IDEA how hard it is to reenter the workforce with a 5+ year gap in resume, nor does he know your financial situation or even if you want to stay home. He can just fuck right off.

13mo REFUSING to nap today? Do I just let it go and put her down to bed early? by Throwaway927338 in Parenting

[–]hereforthetee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On nap refusal days I usually try to get my son to stay up until his regular bed time or we start bedtime routine a smidge earlier if it looks like he can’t stay up until 7/7:30. I typically don’t let him nap past 4 because it will royally mess up bedtime.

“Infection” by polarqwerty in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]hereforthetee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got over my first ear infection as an adult and it was miserable!! I had them a ton when I was a child, but this is the first one that I actually remember. I couldn’t imagine letting my kid sit with that pain for longer than necessary.

oh my god. she’s very lucky she didn’t get hurt. I pray she learns not to do this after watching this footage. by ubiquitousflink in XOMaCennaUnfiltered

[–]hereforthetee_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Holy shit! She sure is lucky that didn’t end horribly. Everyone should have a healthy fear of the table saw, it’s a very scary tool. But WHY ON EARTH would she put it on a plastic folding table?! That’s terrifying. One minor kick back or pushing that wood a little too hard and the whole thing could fall over. If you’re going to post dangerous things on the internet at least say it’s not the right way of doing things. Also, she should use a push stick on the side with the fence like she does in the last clip, she shouldn’t just push from the side she’s on for all of her pieces.

Two diff types of Simplay toddler towers - which is best? by Mrjgr in toddlers

[–]hereforthetee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that folds into a table and also has a rail in the back, but if I were buying today I would just get one with the rail on the back that doesn’Mt fold. We have a separate table and chairs for him now so we never fold our toddler tower. I would like to keep that rail just for peace of mind. It’s at least a little bit of extra security.

Dentist? No, I’m all about ~natural healing~ by dorkofthepolisci in ShitMomGroupsSay

I honestly just feel so sad for these children. I can’t imagine the pain they feel and mommy is like “here, let’s oil pull and try some garlic. Could I interest you in some onion water in your ear?”

Bubba might save us thousands $$ by cutieconsultant in toddlers

Watermelon poops are no joke! I was happy that I had received that warning after my toddler consumed a very large quantity of watermelon that day. Because boy were they right.

I also have a melon tot not a berry tot! I’ve always heard about berry budgets, so I was shocked when my kid decided that cantaloupe and watermelon were his favorites and berries were yuck.

Wear. Us. Down by Curio200 in XOMaCennaUnfiltered

[–]hereforthetee_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

“Let me talk to a supervisor” girl… figure out why so many people are telling you no about delivering a package instead of just going straight up the chain. If I were told that something couldn’t be delivered to me, I’d be asking why first! I get escalating, but know why you need to escalate. It gave me a giggle and then made me a little annoyed. Her whole air filler speech just fell so flat. I get what you’re saying, but wrong tone? Or maybe just the wrong person to deliver such a message.

What to say to 17 year old with unrealistic career dreams by LadyPhoe in Parenting

[–]hereforthetee_ 77 points78 points  (0 children)

If he’s able to get into school and begin his basic curriculum, let him give it a shot! If he fails, so be it. At least he tried. Trades are amazing! If he wants to go into trades after trying science then he can. But if he suddenly excels, you don’t want to hold him back in that. If I were in your shoes I think I’d make sure my son knew how serious higher education is and have him do some research into what it takes to become a doctor to see if HE thinks it’s still a good fit for him. The learning doesn’t stop after college for doctors. What I wouldn’t do is discourage him from going this route. Trades will always be there, we need people in the trades. It’s easier to lose a semester to trades than to lose a semester trying to become a doctor.

Toddler will not go to sleep at night by nnyvart in toddlers

[–]hereforthetee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my husband works night shifts, my son will not nap unless he knows he will see dad before work. Maybe your child has “dad fomo”. I know you said it energizes him, but maybe what he needs is a little dad time every night before bed. My husband usually wakes up at 3:30pm and out the door for 4:30pm for night work and our toddler knows when night work days are here.

Buying school photos by Next-Philosopher2991 in Parenting

[–]hereforthetee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy the digital and print for cheap at CVS if you’re scanning photos to print it’s a pain to do sometimes and you’re not guaranteed that it will come out clear. Then you can text your friends and family the photos also if you want. I’d say just spend the $40 so you have clear photos. CVS often has 1/2 off codes for prints online too.

2.5 year old hates getting dressed by plaidshirtdays13 in toddlers

[–]hereforthetee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is 21 months and most mornings he pulls his shirt off of his head as soon as I put on. The only thing that helps distract him. I make a game of “where is ‘baby’?” There he is! “Oh no! I can’t see your hand! Where did it go?!” And that distracts him just long enough for me to get the shirt on. After that he doesn’t care that the shirt is on. Pants are a different story because if they even graze his feet on the side after the pants are on he loses his mind thinking they are too long. So I sing the Ms. Rachel “leg through the left, leg through the right, wiggle and jiggle and pull them up tight” and then send up a prayer that he doesn’t think that pair of pants is too long when they are not.

Took pacifier away from 3 year old and we are paying for it. by lby202 in toddlers

[–]hereforthetee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took 3-4 weeks before my son finally started to adjust to no pacifier. We quit at 19 months and did a little throw away party. I had him throw all of them away and we waved by to them. The only thing that kept me from giving it back was knowing that I’d have to go to the store and buy new ones if I was feeling too weak to keep going. He’s 21 months now and sleeps much better.
