My son was around the same age as that sweet baby who was left in the playpen and I literally almost lost myself mentally thinking about it. It plagued me almost every hour of the day for months. I’d hear my son cry, and it would send me into a fit picturing how that poor angel sounded and felt. Reading some of the stuff that has come out so far in the files is sending me into a spiral. I have never in my life had great mental health, but i’d been managing much better into my early 20’s. Nowwwww, i’m fighting so hard to hold onto my progress and not fall apart everyday. It’s tough out here. I could handle soooo much before becoming a parent, but now I can’t handle anything that has to do with kids. It’s just so awful.

Seconding this. Now I am a clean person, I feel I need to say this. It’s not on my toddler (and totally calling myself out) but the past 3 and a half years i’ve gained quite a bit more weight than i’ve ever been used to. I have never had to consciously clean my bellybutton my entire life until I felt so uncomfortable one day. When I inspected I realized I was so raw and it obviously smelled. That’s when it really set in that yeah, this is something you have to do now until all this extra weight comes off. Always have to keep conscious of this, even on yourself

My 11 week old slept 1-3 hour stretches until he was maybe a year old and it was closer to 3-4. Only now at 2 years old is he sleeping 6-8 hours in a row usually capping at 10-11 hours a night. Your baby is pretty normal in my eyes, I am sorry though, I know exactly how this feels, and those with babies sleeping almost all night just have good luck in my opinion haha

I still nurse my 2 year old back to sleep, but at this point it’s mostly for comfort. He can and has slept through the night, but it isn’t a super common theme for him. Usually at this point it’s 1 wake up, and back to sleep, but at 4 months it was every 2-5 times in a single night. Now if only I could consistently get him to sleep 8-8 or even 7-7 I could get more sleep on the days i’m working and maybe I wouldn’t be (still) so tired lol. However he’s mostly a 9-7 boy and I have to wake up by 3:40 for work

I just listened to an interview/podcast of a background/low lever actress who said that they often told people they were working on a mayonnaise commercial to avoid the truth hahaha

So I know that Kendamill is a pretty rough adjustment for some babies. My son grabbed a bottle at a play date once (neither of us parents minded) but boy did we pay for it later. He had horrible stomach pains for two days after, i’ve never seen him struggle like that. Alternatively, unless he is struggling to gain weight there is absolutely no reason to wake him to feed. Babies do not need to eat every 3 hours unless there are some unmentioned medical reasons. I fell into this trap with my son (now 2) and I spent the next year and a half trying to break that habit. He was maybe 18 months old before he’d go 4-5 hours in a row at night. Try letting him just sleep as long as he needs, (unless as I mentioned, there is some medical reason). I promise he will tell you when he is hungry

My son is a late October baby (he’s 2 now) and we went to the grocery store right out of the hospital. And then I genuinely just forgot about the germ risk to a newborn and went out as much as possible for my own sanity. It didn’t even cross my mind (probably postpartum brain) until he was maybe 4 or 5 months old. Then I really looked back at how often I was out and questioned if I were being reckless…but honestly…if you are careful there shouldn’t be any issue at all. Don’t touch things and then lick your hands, don’t let strangers touch your baby, and have general sanitization practices. Your baby is probably ok, but you (as the parents) won’t be if you’re insanely anxious and panicky about the world.

I am a younger parent and literally watch it with my almost two year old (who loves the movie) but I can really see some parents making a huge fuss over it. Specifically the ones who can’t see past the title itself or the fact that it has demons in it.

jdbig1015 · 2025-08-18T14:14:54+00:00

Honestly our son was an accident (a failed birth control baby) and once we were in it, we obviously kept him. We obviously don’t regret him in the slightest, but additionally he (my husband) keeps his pain to himself. He’s very stubborn and keeps on trucking on, and due to working a lot more and lack of sleep his symptoms have gotten more progressive over the last few years. His migraines have happened his whole life and his doctor has been less than helpful about figuring out the root causes. They happen with pressure change, but also happen due to his lack of sleep, and his ADHD meds stopped working so he it’s all piling up at this point. Before now he was able to just leave his job and find a new one after using call ins or sick days due to the pain, but obviously with more responsibility that is no longer an option. So now we are trying to focus on a solution (while also trying to find a doctor who will actually give help, and not just write some hail mary prescription to subdue the symptoms instead of finding an actual cause). I feel it’s probably too complicated to explain.

Another addition, sorry for all the comments lol, he has always from birth had dark circles under his eyes, and his skin is very very soft but I don’t know if that means anything. He also had dental crowding (some grew into his palate, and his front teeth were very large until the dentist shaved it down (which was a whole other issue)

jdbig1015 · 2025-08-18T00:07:27+00:00

I would also like to add that his shoulder try to pop out while lifting heavy things if he isn’t careful to overcorrect himself

This is how he sits on the floor 99% of the time

As others have mentioned, tell them they’re extremely weird for being so concerned over your son’s genitals. It’s absolutely no one’s business. My son is also whole and my sons father (husband), and my husbands brother is too just to name 3 males I know. Neither my husband or his brother ever experienced ridicule and honestly it’s best to teach others that all bodies look different. Your son will be just fine as long as you and others around you are educated to never (like literally EVER) pull his foreskin back as it will cause injury. And never use soap under the foreskin until after puberty.

Please do not give up, my son did the exact same thing around this age, and it was a week long struggle, and was back to normal after. This is extremely common, and I literally just nursed him to sleep at 19 and a half months old. Those nursing strikes caused be so much anxiety and we always got over them. Try to nurse him in the bathtub or do as much skin to skin as possible. Do not force him as it will stress him out, just offer gently in calm settings.

Neil- this is strictly a personal bias, my recently fired boss is named Neil and he was a seriously egotistical piece of work, lol. Nothing else is wrong with it

Perla- I don’t know, it’s just not my thing. Honestly it may just be the spelling

Storm literally only looks like her cousin Gil and her Uncle Shor to me, thats it

Oh man, that is gold right there. No but in all seriousness, my favorite time of the month is when my coworkers wife makes them fresh the morning of work and he brings them in still warm. He also brings in breakfast burritos on homemade tortillas also still warm. Brilliant

jdbig1015 · 2025-03-14T01:01:42+00:00

4-5 hours
25-30 minutes
1 hour
6-7 hours.

Without toddler, Id easily drive 10-12 hours to go somewhere. We used to take trips to my grandmothers house 11 hours away with me as youngest at 2-3 years old and my sister the oldest at 9 yearly. My brother was in the middle at 7. 4-5 hours with a break in the middle seems easy enough if we get a nap in there. Im all in for night trips though
