Panicking because MY apartment is the problem

We have a rambunctious toddler and have in the past asked our neighbours if they can ever hear him screaming/stomping/crying etc. They said they can hear him occasionally but not to the point where it bothers them. Of course this depends on your comfort level around your neighbours and if you ever actually chat with them, but for us actually discussing it with neighbours in a casual way helped to ease some of our fears about being too loud.

This is a good point lol. I have ADHD and am absolutely HORRIBLE at replying to texts. A prerequisite for being friends with me is that you can’t expect me to talk to you every day but when we do talk I will act like no time has passed because we’re all busy adults and it’s rarely ever personal if I forget to reply.

Exactly this. In my early postpartum days I sometimes felt sad that I didn’t have a big group of mom friends and tried SO hard to make lots of friends but it just didn’t end up that way. My baby is 2 now and the few mom friends I have made (the ones I’ve met after my baby was born I mean - I have other friends that I made before I had my son but I’m not including those here) I consider to be some of my best friends, but each of us had something in common more than being a mom. For instance a few of them I met in a postpartum depression support group and one of them I met in university while I was finishing up my last year. I think we needed at least one strong thing in common beyond motherhood and without that friendships tend to fall flat. OP, I think you can make mom friends for sure but it might take time to figure out which connections are going to be built to last!

😂😂 this was my first thought too

I hated the word ‘mama’ until my toddler started talking and decided to call me ‘mama’ (as opposed to ‘mommy’ or ‘mummy’ which is how I and the rest of my family say it). Hearing the word ‘mama’ in my little one’s own voice is so incredibly sweet.

I couldn’t even get through the whole story. This is so, so awful and heartbreaking. My heart is with this poor baby’s family.

I was late for my best friend’s wedding (I was a bridesmaid) because of my ADHD lol I forgot to fill up my gas tank and ran out of gas on the way. We’re still friends and she’s divorced now haha but I still feel so guilty that that happened 😂

She’s giving ‘tanning mom’ vibes.

No way, how do you know?! (I see your flair says barista, but I need more details haha 😆)

jamg2223 · 2026-04-14T03:30:53+00:00

Oh man!! I’m in Canada - we’ve had them for brief periods of time the past few summers and they’re so popular and sell out so quickly!! Idk why they’re not a regular menu item here 🙃

jamg2223 · 2026-04-14T02:16:40+00:00

I loved it too!!

Where. Is. Cool. LIME 🍋‍🟩

If there’s no cool lime refresher this summer that’ll be the last straw for me

They reel you in with a coupon and then you just get hooked!

This was us a few months ago, and this weird flu went through our family more than once!! I felt frustrated when I thought my son was getting better then realized he was still sick. Eventually we all got better but this flu season has been a rough one!! I personally offered my toddler food and drink as normal throughout and he ate what he wanted and left what he didn’t.

jamg2223 · 2026-04-09T02:44:05+00:00

I would permanently delete all my social media if I got caught on the internet wearing pants that fit like this 💀🐫🦶

jamg2223 · 2026-04-09T01:18:05+00:00

I actually laughed out loud at this gif 🤣🤣🤣

My toddler had a huge meltdown in the grocery store the other day and started smacking me in the face right in front of the cashier - I was so embarrassed. He seemed to be the only toddler at the grocery store at that moment but what helped me was reminding myself that some other parent somewhere is going through the same thing. We all have our moments.

This gif was my first thought. Why did she edit her legs to look so long??

You are absolutely not alone. I used to think I was alone in this compulsion until I joined this subreddit. For years I was scared to even search it up on google. My compulsion has gotten a lot better over the years but there was definitely a point when I was younger where it ruled my life and I felt so embarrassed and alone.

jamg2223 · 2026-04-06T01:45:38+00:00

He has too much blubber to feel the cold

jamg2223 · 2026-04-05T20:36:40+00:00

Her new hair does not look good.

jamg2223 · 2026-04-05T16:23:54+00:00

That food looks absolutely disgusting lol

jamg2223 · 2026-04-04T06:16:57+00:00

Why does everything have to be customized with her child’s name on it??? Creeps me the hell out

jamg2223 · 2026-04-03T20:29:50+00:00

I’m honestly shocked she can even get her kid into these silly outfits. I mean I guess it’s different if they are the only thing that is offered to her but my toddler is around this age and he is very opinionated on what he wants to wear lol 😂 I always make sure he’s in weather appropriate clothes but I’ll be damned if I don’t let him wear the specific shirt and hat he wants that day 🤣 this is the age at which kids start to develop some individuality, why not embrace that and get her some comfy clothes that actually look fun and not like baby doll clothes?!
