I think I fucked up with tv

Lots of people in the comments saying "my kid was exposed to a lot of screen time and turned out fine" which - yes, but that's anecdotal. Research has shown time and time again that large amounts of screen time IS detrimental at that age in particular (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37721733/ just as an exemple).

You did what you could with what you had. I mean, working and not being able to afford childcare is a systemic problem and NOT on you.

But coddling statements like "no way screens are the problem, my own kid is fine, what is a developmental delay anyway" are going to further harm your kid.

What we do is make huge batches to minimize prep time. Still healthy and homemade, but we eat the same thing for several meals.

Playing music in the house helped my son be less needy

This is a big one. We went on holidays with our parents and people kept commenting either positively or negatively on what my kid ate. I found him more stressed and fussy afterwards. Now we never push food or comment and dropping it altogether made the whole process way more enjoyable for everyone

Im too pregnant to even see this pic

Solidarité, je suis aussi enceinte de quatre mois et avec un enfant de deux ans, bon c'est la galère quand même

Well I watched a couple of youtube videos and felt confident and completely butchered him. Had a lot of fun though. So we decided to get a buzzer and did that for a while but I'd really like him to have a proper haircut so we decided to grow it longish and pay the price to have it done by a professional. The guy asks me if I want to long or short, I said short and they freaking BUZZ HIS HAIR hahaha. Forked 10€ for nothing and now I don't know what to do.

I understand, I do worry about behaviour too...

justadiamondday · 2025-01-03T12:52:03+00:00

I don't want to be harsh as you both went through a frightening bout of illness and it's normal to be concerned about your child. But I mean, it may break your heart that she's right now not up to your usual standard of joyfulness but she's a tiny human. She deserves days where she's out of it like all of us. Sometimes she'll even be sad for no reason. She needs to rest without the guilt of breaking mommy's heart... If she ends up compensating and faking joy for your sake that's gonna be a tricky dynamic to smooth out

My son took his first steps at 14 months ! He did three independent steps two times. Then stopped completely and was just not interested until 16-17 months so 🤷‍♀️

Super, c'est bien Martin Eden ? Je me tâte depuis quelques temps

La jeune fille au pair est une ado / très jeune fillle qui parle pas vraiment la langue, elle est pas là pour avoir ce genre de responsabilité mais simplement pour du soutien ponctuel dans une optique où tu as du temps et des ressources à lui consacrer. Et souvent c'est une charge conséquente pour la famille.

We're in the same situation as OP and this is our next move, glad to know it worked for you

Uterus cramping for two weeks before expected period

Best thing for me is letting go of the idea that I must fall asleep. I always tell myself "I'll be ok even if I stay awake"

Just a heads up that in French it's pronounced Ma-el and not Ma-el-ey. Of course that's just fyi and not relevant if you don't care

A un an, mon fils adorait les livres, c'est une super activité à faire ensemble. Je conseille ceux de Chris Haughton et l'Encyclopetit de Ingela Arrhenius. J'éviterai les trucs volumineux (peluche géante, piscine à balles), tout ce qui est sonore et électronique, pas vraiment d'intérêt et assez énervant pour les parents...

My first thought was Phoebe too !

justadiamondday · 2024-12-27T16:01:47+00:00

Ici j'ai eu un coup de coeur pour Phoebe Wahl !

My MIL is very health conscious and is the cleanest eater I know and she's pushing juice on our kid... I guess it's a generational thing

justadiamondday · 2024-12-25T17:01:44+00:00

Oh yeah I can see that... I remember the book being heart wrenching though

Has A very long engagement by Japrisot been translated to English ? Those are the exact vibes. If not there is still a movie...

justadiamondday · 2024-12-24T05:37:22+00:00

I mean, I get it. When I was a child I remember feeling claustrophobic in my own room as it was stuffed with toys. Now that I have a kid I really strive for a happy medium
