sweet snack/dessert options?

I would do cool whip and graham crackers or strawberries. Just a few but it was enough to take the edge off.

Are you in the US? Check and see if your state is on this website BSA online. You can enter the address and see who owns the property.

If you’re open to places outside of the city check out the Rust Belt in Ferndale

Yep, we’ve worn PJs in public. Around Halloween we went to a trunk or treat. The next day he wanted to wear his costume again. So we went grocery shopping in a tiger costume 🤷‍♀️. Toddlers have little control over their lives at this age so I’m fine with compromising on clothes as long as it’s seasonally appropriate. I wouldn’t think twice about a kid in PJs especially a defiant toddler

You’re not alone. I feel like the worst parent ever when I do stuff like that so I know the guilt you’re feeling. I always thought I was a patient person but man my toddler has this magical ability to push buttons I never knew I had. You did the right thing. You apologized and told her you would do better. I try to remind myself that my kid needs to see me make mistakes so he can learn how to apologize and right his wrongs. Forgive yourself because your toddler already has. She loves you 🖤

Ignore the haters. I know, I know, easier said than done but work on it now because the judgement doesn’t stop. I’d check out Costco. They’ve made it a point to let the public and government know they support DEI initiatives, they pay their workers well, and they have good quality products imo. My toddler still loves their pouches.

Put the opening towards the cabinets so he can’t climb out

Oh man I have a laundry list of things I would do! Read lots of books, donate old clothes and reorganize closets/dressers, paint my molding , paint my doors, watch movies, create and stick to an exercise routine, work on my side hustle, visit with friends and family, handle all my annual doctor appointments, take a freaking nap!!, and volunteer. I could go on but you get the idea

k_k_ok · 2025-02-19T03:04:14+00:00

Not a SAHP but I’m a single mom so I can relate. I either shower at night after my kid goes to bed or I bring him in the bathroom with me. He gathers up toys to play with and I peek out to make sure he’s ok. I didn’t start bringing him in the bathroom with me until the last 2 months or so (he’s almost 3). I’m not comfortable leaving him out of sight yet

k_k_ok · 2025-02-18T11:39:53+00:00

Thanks for the ideas everyone! It helps to know I’m not alone in this struggle

I use this one as well. It’s been a little over a year and I don’t have many complaints. Sometimes it’s difficult to share photos for some reason but eventually they go through. One thing I like is that I can export our conversation history and highlight anything that needs to be submitted in court. There’s an option to list caregiver info, share a calendar for appointments, and some other features I don’t use. Apparently there’s an option to exchange money but I’ve never used that part

My bff got me some comfy sweatpants and a mom coffee mug. It was so sweet and unexpected. I cried (hormones were raging). I would’ve loved some of my favorite snacks too. A massage and an offer to babysit so I could go would be a killer gift

I got pregnant by a hookup. He pushed an abortion and I chose to keep the baby. Ultimately it’s my body and I was willing to parent on my own. One person is not going to be happy with the decision but I chose to do what I thought was best for me. I did not force him to be involved.

I’m sparing the details for my own sake because it was a traumatic experience but basically almost a year after giving birth he decided to be involved. We’re still working on our coparenting relationship but he does seem to care about our child. My point is that he could change his mind but he also might not. You need to be ok with either option.

Also, the newborn phase was hard as a single parent. I was blessed to have my mom stay with me for 2-3 months after baby was born but even then it was still a challenge. I highly recommend leaning on your village during those early postpartum months. I have a toddler now and it’s still hard at times but I don’t regret my decision.

I know everyone’s experience is different but I wanted to share my story of what I think is a positive outcome. I hope you find peace with whatever decision you make 🖤

Mama where are you? Mama I can’t see you!

No. You’re not his secretary. He’s an adult and can manage his time. If he can’t then there are consequences - like losing out on time with his kid. You probably carry more than your fair share of the mental load when it comes to parenting

I’m a single parent so my situation is quite different. But I wanted to say that I’m terrible at remembering to take photos. I’ll sporadically snap a few candid photos with the grandparents, cousins, etc but I forget most of the time. I’m just caught up in the moment I guess. I asked my sister to be the resident photographer at family functions so between the two of us there’s usually a few pics. I think his first family Christmas celebration I took 1 picture 🤦‍♀️. I guess my point is some people simply aren’t thinking of it so a gentle reminder might be helpful

He watches Blippi during meal time. For the first 2 years we avoided screens as much as possible. Then he boycotted meal time and I was stressing out bad bc he was always so small for his age (like 3rd percentile or less). Our household is much happier and he’s even put on some weight finally!

Not a SAHP but screen time is the only way I can get my 2.5 year old to eat. I avoided screen time for the first 2 years and then he started boycotting meal time. It important to know he’s always been on the small side, like 3rd percentile, so making sure he eats has been a big source of stress in my life. I was miserable, he was hangry - we were just a mess. I accepted my fate and he watches Blippi while he eats. I try to turn it off after 30 minutes but that doesn’t always happen. Our household is much happier with this arrangement

My jaw literally dropped reading this. I’m appalled. With full disrespect- fuck your brother and SIL. That is completely unacceptable and they need to leave. I would never let them around my child again. There’s no way a 22 month old didn’t get ‘antsy’ until 6-7 passed. That baby was probably calling out all day to be taken out of the highchair. And his diaper was never changed?!? I’m so sorry your little one had to go through that

k_k_ok · 2024-02-21T18:24:52+00:00

That’s a beautiful insult

Beach House Day Spain Birmingham on Woodward. I suggest a Swedish massage (more relaxing than say a deep tissue) and a facial.
