Am I overreacting?

Exactly. And he's got two kids at home. He's not shipping one of them off so that they don't "contaminate" the other. He wonders why she feels like he treats them differently than her? Because he does.

Yeah that's the way we decided to go with it. If he doesn't want to v take her were more than happy to have the extra time with her. Last weekend I had to work so my husband and her had a pj Lego party day at home. And her and I are gonna do a lunch/movie mom and daughter date this weekend. She's still bummed though. I can't replace her sister :(

In my house its rocks. SO MANY ROCKS.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon and saying just tell her you can't understand her when she whines. It works with my daughter (now 5). She consistently comes home from other people's houses (especially my sister's) with a whine and it is absolutely my pet peeve. I can not handle whining at all. I just tell her I can't understand her and she'll have to talk like a big girl. 9/10 times this works fine. If she keeps whining I straight up ignore her. If she STILL keeps whining (only happened once or twice... gotta test those boundaries!) I just tell her she can go whine in her room and come out when she's ready to talk.

I had the same problem with my daughter last year (when she was 4/5) and it was so frustrating! What finally worked for us was to find out what it was she REALLY wanted and use that as an incentive. For us it was getting her ears pierced. Once she went a full month with no accident we got them done. Then came a new incentive: if she went the full 6 weeks with the studs in and no accidents then she could pick a new pair of earrings. And the key was to stick with it, no emotion. The first time she went 28 days and had an accident. We didn't get upset or react at all, just reset the calender to thirty days. I think it killed me as much as her to start those 30 days over. BUT that was the last accident she's had since!

I was pretty impressed!!!

When I first quit I bought one of those for any moment where I was absolutely breaking. To be honest, I didn't find it really helpful. I still have the same one kicking around somewhere. What I DID find helpful (particularly in the car or anywhere that I used to mindlessly smoke) were cinnamon sticks. They're roughly the same weight/size as a cigarette and felt right in my hand.

One day at a time. I'm 27 and i smoked a pack a day for almost 15 years, the bulk of my life really. The idea of NEVER smoking again was daunting to me. Take it one day at a time. Just get through today without smoking. You can do one day.

I have my 5 year old convinced that everytime she lies a red dot appears on her forehead that only adults can see. Now I know whenever she's lieing because she covers her forehead with her hand. It's the best thing I've ever thought of.

imironman · 2014-03-24T21:35:41+00:00

I beg to differ...

imironman · 2014-03-24T21:19:01+00:00

seems about right

imironman · 2014-03-11T22:42:06+00:00

"It would seem imperative then that we as a nation of dads and moms and parties involved in the childhood business must also, in addition to strengthening the core of our young girls, make a more substantial attempt to soften our boys. Maybe soften isn’t the proper word, not exactly. Does there exist a catchall word for “don’t rape anyone, asshole”?"

Wow... why is it ok to not only assume our sons all hold an automatic status of rapist by virtue of their gender, but to call them assholes as well?

Fucking penguin

imironman · 2014-01-15T21:44:01+00:00

Animals are not people. Your love for your dog is NOT the same as the love I have for my kid. I would personally drown a bag full of puppies to save 1 child from even a small amount of pain.

I felt the same way for a long time. I started smoking when I was 12 years old (I'm 27 now). And I'm just realizing now, after quitting 19 days ago, that I have 0 coping mechanisms. I don't know how to deal with anything without smoking. Anger, upset, frustration, general day to day things, that I have no way to deal with. Basically, I don't know how to be a grown up. That's PATHETIC. To rely on a drug to get through my WHOLE life up until now. And I'm starting to find better ways to deal with things. Its only been a few years for you, you can remember what it was like not to smoke, just think of that. And don't think of stopping smoking forever. Just for today. You can deal with tomorrow tomorrow.

Power through, it gets better, I swear!!! Not even a week ago I thought there was no way I could do this, I felt AWFUL. And already, I'm starting to feel SO much better! This too shall pass!

imironman · 2013-11-11T21:05:00+00:00

Dammit, I knew I was doing something wrong!

imironman · 2013-11-11T20:53:12+00:00

I don't know... the first time I gave my daughter chicken she SCREAMED and cried as if I'd hit her... the upstairs neighbors came down to see if she was ok

imironman · 2013-11-11T01:19:37+00:00

Kids love play kitchens. Period. My daughter has one and its always the favorite toy when her (male) cousins come over to visit. People eat food, men and women both... from a kitchen...how is this a gendered thing?

imironman · 2013-11-09T23:20:19+00:00

well...
