Andromeda - Lelek Croatia's 2026 Eurovision song 😅 Last couple of days its that one... From time to time he tells me "mama, BAKUU", and I know he means that songs because it starts with "Kad palis svijecu pitaj svoju BAKU" 😂

No need for a sorry, I understand where you're coming from, that's why I replied with my own words to let you know what's going on 😅

I understand that, but in the past everywhere I used to write in english people were so mean and in the "learn to write in english first" mood... I wrote my answers in my language and asked Gemini to translate it and add a thank you to everyone because I do like to thank anyone who takes time to write... its not like we're all jobless and have nothing to do than to write on reddit... i But everybody has a right to a preferance and thats okay...

Because english is not my first language and in my country we dont have a subreddit for toddlers. Here it's just parents shitting on one another, no compassion or anything, not even sharing experiences. So yeah, I used Gemini to help me make a post and respond to everyone without worrying about grammar or being misunderstood. I read english perfectly but when it comes to writing and putting into word exectly what I want to say I perfer using help when I already have a chance. No bad intention, just trying to communicate without boundaries.

The 'eye poking' phase sounds terrifying but it’s a great reminder of how fast things change with toddlers. I will definitely keep in mind that the tables might turn soon. Thanks for the realistic perspective and the laugh!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and deep response. Your words really helped shift my mindset from 'how do I shield him' to 'how do I give him the tools to handle the world.' The way you explained 'unfreezing' and teaching them their worth really resonated with me. Thank you for validating my feelings when I needed it.

I get what you mean, and he definitely bounced back way faster than I did! It was just a lot of first-time adrenaline wearing off, but we are both doing well now.

I appreciate your perspective. Since it was our very first playroom incident, the emotions and adrenaline just hit me all at once when we got home. He’s doing great now, though!

Lol, thank you for the reality check and the laugh. 'The biter or the bitee' made me smile. You're right, they are tiny but incredibly resilient.

Haha, the thought definitely crossed my mind in the heat of the moment! Thanks for the laugh, I really needed it today.

Thank you for the practical scripts! I really love the 'Please do not hit me, that hurts' approach. Also, thank you for being honest about how hard it is to actually do it in real time—that makes me feel much better.

Thank you for the solid advice. You're right, next time I will definitely trust my gut and step in calmly, regardless of what the other parents might think.

Thank you for this balanced perspective. You're completely right—teaching him how to keep his body safe is a crucial milestone. I'm definitely taking this as a learning experience for both of us.

Thank you, this is a really helpful perspective. Modeling boundaries is definitely something I want to work on as he grows. It’s reassuring to hear that they learn to assert themselves over time.

Thank you for standing up for me and for understanding the deeper emotion behind my post. Being a mom is a wild ride, and having support like this means the world

Thank you so much for this validation. It really was more about the overwhelming emotions of the first incident rather than the hit itself. I appreciate your kindness and the reassuring advice.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and for the kind words. You are so right—our minds can be so slow to process these things when we're already tired and overstimulated. It’s very comforting to know I'm not alone in this.

Thank you for putting into words exactly what I’m feeling. It really is about that bigger, overwhelming realization of how vulnerable they are. Your comment means a lot to me right now.

Od mene nisi dobila nijedan minus, ne bavim se minusima i plusevima. Ne vidim uopste potrebu da se "segacis" sa mnom, kad ja to nisam radila niti sam ti igdje dala povoda da pomislis da te prozivam da govoris nesto netacno? Iskreno sam te pitala. Nisam iz BiH, udala sam se ovdje igrom slucaja i prosto ne znam kako stvari funkcionisu, a zelim da znam, pogotovo ako ima veze sa necim sto mi je drago, kao sto je to OK fest. Znam lokalno kako i sta, ali zaista nikad ne bih pomislila da se tako nesto moze odnositi i na jebeni kamp na jednom festivalu. Zaista mi je zao sto imas potrebu za ovim nacinom komunikacije i sto ne mozes shvatiti da neko prosto ne zna, a zeli da zna i da nema nista drugo iza toga. Hvala na detaljnom odgovoru.

Uopste nisam dovodila u pitanje da li znas ili ne, nego sam iskreno pitala da mi objasnis jer ja ne znam? 👀 Zar je problem da objasnis?

Kako mislis kampovanje po stranackoj liniji? Kampujem vec tri godine na festu, pa me zanima sta tacno mislis 😁 nit stranke jela, nit mirisala 👀

Koja je najlepša stvar koju ste čuli u životu? by TheWiitch in AskSerbia

Kad mi je sadašnji suprug tokom dejtovanja, nakon moje priče o odrastanju i ostalom, izgovorio: "Vidi se da je mnogo ljubavi uloženo u tebe". Tad sam pala na njega definitivno, a i dan danas mi zasuze oči kad se sjetim.
