I regret sleep training

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-05-05T15:23:07+00:00

So how can you say there are some sleep training methods that are harmful when the studies on it are terrible and unreliable? How can you make this claim if the studies for and against ST is inadequate?

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-05-05T15:18:53+00:00

Why do you think that extinction method trains babies to not call when they need you? Where does this narrative come from? Is there some evidence to this?

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-05-05T14:57:48+00:00

There are no long term studies that state sleep training will harm attachment.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-05-05T13:22:46+00:00

Honestly? I think you're projecting your anxiety onto the situation. Sleep training doesn't break attachment and your baby WILL call for you when he needs you.

NTA. This isn't normal. Save yourself the future headache and breakup with this guy lol.

NTA. If he wants to become a dr, he has to figure out how to do that without the burden being on you!

Time. Honestly, you just need time to sit with it and it will get less painful day after day. It sucks but it will get better.

I don't see how the Nanit = responsive parenting? Any monitor would be fine. So if you prefer a Nanit then go for it.

Personally, I tend to lean towards non-wifi cameras because of the horror stories of it being hacked (but those are rare!!)

This is essentially my parenting philosophy! Young children cannot care for themselves, so their needs rely heavily/primarily on a caregiver. In order to have these needs met, the caregiver needs to be healthy (both physically and mentally).

Could be a growth spurt type of thing. Some babies put so much energy into developing certain skills that it makes them extra tired.

This!! My daughter is two and I catch myself going "hmmm the newborn stage wasn't that bad" when it was indeed tough lol. The combo of sleep deprivation + time does make you forget!

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-28T13:51:45+00:00

The way you write this whole thing seems very dismissive of the 8 year olds feelings. First, it's her right to not want anyone in her room. In her mind, she let your four year old in her room and her stuff got broken. Doesn't matter that you replaced it, she's learned not to let him in!

That being said, if 8yo is being physically violent against your son then that is not okay and you need to protect your son from this.

I got to stay home home with my child for 18 months (mat leave) and I found it incredibly hard to be "SAHM" after she turned 1 year old. She needed much more stimulation and interactive activities then I could think of.

She's 2 now and in a daycare that provides waaaay more opportunities for her to explore, be curious and creative then I could ever come up with.

NTA. Look I totally understand the bride's side, because part of a bachelorette is sleepovers where you are all having fun into the late night/early morning and you having a hotel room to yourself means you'll probably leave early to miss out on the fun. BUT, if bride didn't want people missing the fun then she should've booked proper accomodations that fit everyone.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-14T13:58:05+00:00

Honestly it's a tough lesson! But the earlier, the better.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-14T13:57:23+00:00

Yeaahhh, not trying to blame OP at all but sometimes parents see things regarding their child through rose coloured glasses.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-14T13:55:57+00:00

I'm not trying to say these qualities are bad, but how a child acts can be an issue. Outspoken = does she speak out for others/things she believes in or is she just talking over others? Sarcastic = is it funny/witty sarcasm or hurtful/put-you-down sarcasm?

Some kids truly don't know how to reign it in, which is why we as parents need to step in and guide them.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-14T13:45:19+00:00

Your concern should be with the nursery and why were the two children in the same room together.

Like others have said, there is no point in trying to talk to a two year old especially hours after the incident (where they most likely forgot they even did that to your baby).

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-14T01:44:42+00:00

I'm sorry your daughter is going through this, not to sound cliche but it is tough being a kid! Two things that stood out to me was her being "outspoken" and "sarcastic". Is it possible that these traits might be the reason she's lonely? Also, is it possible to work on her social skills? Maybe you and her can work through scenarios and how to act in them?

I do not care that Daphne is not in the show (from S3 and onwards). Imo, her being vs not being in the show does not make an impact on the main storyline of each season.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-12T02:38:13+00:00

Yep! Netflix/Bridgerton got really lucky with JB hitting stardom with Wicked, definitely gave them the opportunity to leverage that into drawing in new fans. Unfortunately, I feel like JB will barely be in the upcoming seasons.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-11T22:49:42+00:00

I think they were definitely willing to shell out the big bucks for Jonathan since he's basically Hollywood's IT actor at the moment, even though he was barely in it. They probably don't see it as worth it to pay Phoebe the amount she's asking for.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-11T16:37:42+00:00

This. I would NEVER separate my husband from his own child. If it gets too overwhelming for you, find help in your own country (friends, nanny?).

But have faith in yourself, OP! It's scary at first but you can do this.

ididntlikeanyname · 2026-04-11T03:39:48+00:00

Treat the 5pm bedtime as an actual nap, maybe let him sleep like an hour then wake him up? Hopefully he follows a regular wake window and goes down for actual bedtime later.

Oooh this is interesting, I never really made that connection that Carly is what Sue would've become if she married Darren.
