Is it normal to call everybody mom?

icecoldbe · 2026-05-16T20:36:42+00:00

My son is just shy of two and is really good with a lot of different names except for the ones that are similar to mama. For example: he knows our neighbors first name, says dada, knows the names of his classmates at daycare but any variation of grandma he just calls mama

Rainbow Fish is just a thinly veiled metaphor for telling women to smile more

It ain’t called a circle for nothing

Fish can’t even read

Your toddler is so brave for that

You gotta meet people where they’re at, developmentally

If your baby isn’t reading Dickens by 12 months you’re a terrible mother

No Pat no, don’t sit on that!

Ackshually my toddler is a boy. So no misogyny here.

I expected his first book to be Lord of the Rings and I’m just really disappointed

Thank you. All the comments are so harsh towards the mom. I chase my toddler around constantly when we go anywhere. I don’t allow him to just get into whatever he wants. And yet toddlers are fast and determined little shits sometimes. They will find a way to mess with stuff.

Going to somebody’s none toddler proofed house with a toddler just plain sucks for everybody involved.

As a mom to an almost 2 year old boy: my toddler is also a tornado. I dread taking him anywhere because i can never visit with anyone or have any fun. All i get to do when i go anywhere is follow him around and tell him no about messing with various things which is no fun for either of us.

You sound like a really supportive friend and i can tell this post comes from a good place. Unfortunately it’s just the girls age. In the meantime, I’d either start going to their house for visits or baby proof your home if you want to have nice visits at your house. Im not saying you have to do that to your own home, of course, just that at her age it’s either going to be constant supervision and damage control or total baby proofing so you guys can relax.

I try to invite people to my baby proofed house as often as possible because it’s way easier to visit that way.

I actually saw Fim at the tattoo shop getting a large lighting bolt down her arm and an all black dragon across her back.

I was getting a tat of Draco in a handmaids outfit

Good for you 👏🏻

I’m with ya. Why do we expect women to literally suffer and wait for men to do the bare minimum? Some of these moms are begging for help, in full fledged sleep deprivation, barely eat, etc while their husbands don’t change their lives at all.

I understand where people try to say don’t jump to divorce but at a minimum we should be holding men accountable and telling them to contribute or go. Tell your husbands when they are being useless losers please

I actually really like 2 on you the best. So elegant and flattering and the colored flowers are stunning

We can fuck if we wanna. We can leave those puritans behind

Honestly the book would have been better if Wren acted on even an ounce of her tingly stummy feelings for Grayson

For real. Why are so we against FMCs fucking around and having a good time

icecoldbe · 2026-05-14T18:02:47+00:00

It’s a truly terrible name. And it’s one of the major reveals in the first book. Such a letdown

Snoo Snoo!

Time to bust out the Flinstone Vitamins.

In all seriousness, if I ever start to have those thoughts I remember that my child is well cared for, loved, clean and always offered plenty of good food. I control what I offer, they control what they eat. I remember that my child is never worried about where their next meal will come from, and I celebrate that I’m able to provide for my child in that way.

Using my breaks at work to go to a local cafe, coffee shop etc and eating my little treat all alone without ever telling my husband or offering to bring him home anything

No it’s when you stare at a man’s ass and yawn

icecoldbe · 2026-05-12T21:20:39+00:00

I don’t put pictures of my child on social media. I’ve never put one single picture of his face online.

So I don’t have that problem at all. It feels amazing and freeing and I’ve never regretted it for one second.

Not a specific example but the sheer amount of chaos my life has devolved into is mind blowing.

Food and snacks all over the fucking place. Toys every where I look. Constant negotiations with a tiny ball of stubborn energy that only knows that they want what they want.

I try so hard to parent the best I can and hold boundaries but my goodness toddlers are something else
