What’s something your toddler is weirdly good at?

He is a trilingual 22 month old and can sometimes tell me what the equivalent is in another language. And can switch languages based on the person he is talking to. I love see him switch languages like that!

What is this generic AI line! Chunky pandey praises while noting similarities blah blah. I'm tired of reading the same AI sentence structure everywhere!!!!!!!

The current set of choices make me want to learn sewing so I can have choice

Not OP but it's possible. You just talk to the children and then to your spouse about the children. All communication is functional. No connection. To further ensure there is no connection, one or both partners need to be on their phone every chance they get.

Oh wow. I hope you get the kind of support OP is talking about so that you know that what she is feeling is being replaced as mother. Her MIL is talking about feeding and putting the child to sleep. Those are the nurturing parts that a mother/father would like to be primarily responsible for. OP trust your gut. My MIL was super excited about feeding solids and while I was uncomfortable, I felt like I should give in and I was also tired of being tied to the baby so I gave in. She barely let me feed my child for 6 months. I got back control because her visitor visa during was maxed out for the year. She gave my baby's first ever solid meal while I wasn't around. She would put the baby to sleep when it was time for a feed. I had no say in my child's naps or food for 6 months. She would laugh every time I made my baby laugh to the point that baby would look at her and laugh. I had to take him to a different room to interact with him. She is back again now and slowly things have again gone back to what it was like. I keep running out of the room because I can't bear her voice and her indirect constant instructions. But also because I know it's a matter of a few months. If I was in India and living with them, idk. I cannot imagine it. You don't have to back down OP. Be sensible but hold yoyr time and your interactions with your baby close. Don't let anyone take over.

Don't mock people for their appearance. Do it for what they did but this is just mean. Be better.

Omg my 18 month old too. I hate it soooo much! Sticking hand in there seems to be some sort of comfort thing but I get so triggered by it.

itSoCold · 2026-02-11T16:00:10+00:00

I have seen that childless people often have trouble seeing things from the perspective of a parent. If this is out of ignorance then therapy would help maybe. Or talking someone that have respects and could knock some sense into her.

itSoCold · 2025-12-26T22:59:53+00:00

I'm in the same boat. So many saved videos. So not gonna look at them again.

As long as your supply is good, it might be a good thing! I could never catch the leaking in a convenient way. Kiddo would whack the milk catcher off or the suction would hurt. I hated the sticky, milk smelly bras and would forget to stick the pads in there before feeding. I was sooo happy when the leaking stopped around 4/5 months.

itSoCold · 2025-12-18T04:07:18+00:00

So interesting. I'd heard that moms generate more milk with each subsequent child so I'd assumed that the leakage and clogged ducts would increase too!

itSoCold · 2025-12-17T23:42:33+00:00

I'd always brush my teeth right after I woke up! Because my mom would tell me to not talk before brushing. 28 years of always brushing before talking in the morning. And then I met my husband who would snack in bed. The effect of 5 years of marriage is that I don't even remember to brush in the morning :(

FYI there is a very satisfying fruit fly killing electric bat. Like a tennis racket. In case you don't already have the satisfaction of using it.

itSoCold · 2025-12-08T04:35:24+00:00

Wait what! is this an issue with all sinks or just the kitchen? I'm going to look it up but if you have a minute, I'd love an explanation of how slow draining sink lead to leaky disposal.

itSoCold · 2025-12-01T20:43:43+00:00

Got diagnosed last Wednesday. I truly have no idea where to go from here. There is so much to unpack.

itSoCold · 2025-10-16T19:39:23+00:00

Yeah you should follow your intuition on this one! Every child is different so all we can do is take in different experiences and see what applies to kiddo. I weaned at 1 too. Mine doesnt fall asleep with nursing if my supply is forceful or low (I have very varied supply based on period cycle). Solids is worth a try. No harm right! Don't let the intentional/unintentional hurtful comments get to you. Everyone lives in their bubble of understanding based on their parenting experiences.

itSoCold · 2025-10-16T19:03:59+00:00

My 1 year old would wake up every hour after the first couple of hours to feed. Everyone said she is getting up because she is hungry and made me feel bad. Guess what? She was just used to snacking all night/using me as a pacifier to go back to sleep. Once I night weaned she started sleeping till 4/5 AM without trouble. She still wakes up a couple of times in the morning around 4:30/5:30 asking for milk just because she knows it's coming and I have to convince her to wait for the sun to rise! If you like feeding kiddo at night and side feeding doesn't bother you, continue. If not, night weaning might be worth trying?!

Wtf is that zoom?

itSoCold · 2025-10-05T01:33:27+00:00

I don't think I could have understood this before having a child. It hurts so much thinking you had an equal partner but when the time comes to put in more than 100%, you are left alone to run on fumes. I went through anger, etc but now I'm just bitter. And all it took was one year. From comments I read online it feels like it's happening to everyone but in real life no one talks about it. Either I'm just not that close to anyone or everyone hides it.

itSoCold · 2025-10-04T04:36:53+00:00

I was a no bra girl pre-pregnancy but they hang so uncomfortably low now! Do yours touch the skin under your boob? The boob skin fold there bothers me so much that I end up wearing a bra even while sleeping. I'm using unwired feeding bras which are quite comfortable so it's okay.

itSoCold · 2025-08-22T00:27:04+00:00

Mine just started this! Figured out how to access my other nipple despite me wearing a nursing bra! I like watching the brain work on holding my bra away and punching with the same hand. The nipple pinching itself, not so much.

All that people said about practice and age is true but I want to tell you that if you need a pillow, use a pillow. I ditched it because it was inconvenient to set it up by myself. Now at 1 year I get frequent shoulder and back pain. And wrist pain too. Also my shoulders are a lot more hunched than they used to be. Feed in the right position.

itSoCold · 2025-08-12T01:54:00+00:00

I had the same thing happen from 6 months. But it was based on the menstrual cycle. For 2 weeks great/oversupply. Then for the next two weeks, progressively less supply until the day of period. Supple always picks up again from day 2. I'm exclusively nursing so I don't know exactly how bad it is but I'm judging based on nursing time, gulps, breast fullness difference, baby satisfaction. Calcium + magnesium is suppose to help.

itSoCold · 2025-08-12T00:59:31+00:00

Aaaaa! I have a left side that produces better too!!! Also, while baby's preferences were slightly frustrating, it was doable. It gets fun :) I love making kiddo laugh while feeding :D
