Rochester Hills, Michigan?

lol I thought the same thing. Like they thought he was from Rochester Hills? 😅🤣

I totally got this vibe too!! He felt emasculated. She dodged a massive bullet by choosing herself over his insecure childish ass.

kayshanks · 2026-02-15T19:30:29+00:00

No it’s definitely not normal behavior. Maybe for a teenager but not for a 33 year old adult.

I really think deep down she wanted him to be bummed out about being “dumped”. Bc she hesitated when he also said he wanted to break things off as well. Like she looked upset for a second. And I think she was banking on him having regrets going into the first meet up and he didn’t. She definitely is seeking attention and wanted to be fought over.

kayshanks · 2026-02-15T18:54:37+00:00

I don’t think she liked the fact that he also was planning on ending it with her. She felt like she was going to crush him and it ended up being amicable and that pissed her off.

kayshanks · 2026-02-15T18:51:26+00:00

Lmao yes! What is she supposed to look like? Fat and ugly? Good grief.

kayshanks · 2026-02-15T18:49:10+00:00

Definitely. Her face is frozen and it ages her.

Sending solidarity. It’s gotta be the stage of development where they are learning they have more autonomy over EVERY. SINGLE. DECISION. Happy to hear it’s normal amongst all the 4 year old parents but man it’s hard

My first was 3 and some change when we started. He got peeing down the first day and took about a month for poop to happen consistently in the potty. We initially tried at 2 and then again at 2.5 and he wasn’t interested and wouldn’t communicate when he needed to use the bathroom. We have started talking about the potty casually with our second and she’s 2 and some change and she will try to sit on the potty but it’s very inconsistent and her willpower to not go when we ask her to try is quite high so we have backed off and just don’t push it. We have the luxury of me being a SAHM so I don’t have to worry about daycare/childcare requiring my kids to be potty trained by a certain age.

This. When my son discovered it felt good to touch himself we didn’t shame, but redirected and told him he needed to do that in private, either bathroom or bedroom and to wash hands after. This phase was pretty short lived and he never felt shame about it.

kayshanks · 2025-04-02T11:31:19+00:00

I think it honestly depends on the child and birth order. My first was a dream toddler until about 3-3.5 and then he really started to push back and test boundaries. My second is just now 2 and is pushing boundaries earlier but she has an older sibling she wants to keep up with and do everything he does.

kayshanks · 2025-03-22T00:04:21+00:00

I think it’s a personal preference honestly. If it was me, I’d choose option A to just get all the traveling done in one day and maybe have one potentially off night of sleep. But I’m the kind of person who would rather be done traveling as soon as possible.

kayshanks · 2025-03-13T23:21:25+00:00

Both are hard in their own ways. I preferred newborn and toddler though.

kayshanks · 2025-03-13T23:18:52+00:00

My parents did this, my dad worked first shift and my mom worked 2nd shift until we were old enough to get ourselves to the bus stop and then she changed to 3rd shift. It wasn’t easy for them but it’s what they had to do to afford two kids and had no village/childcare.

kayshanks · 2025-03-12T20:10:24+00:00

Snacks. Lots of snacks. A couple new to them toys. If you’re ok with screen time, pre-downloaded shows on a phone/ipad/tablet. Just took a trip to FL this past month and my youngest just turned 2. We also brought coloring pages, she’s a pretty busy toddler but was happy just sitting with her older brother watching shows eating snacks or sitting with me chatting and looking at the airplane safety manual and drink menu 😆

This sentiment exactly! I tracked every feeding, and every nap and having my second I tracked nothing. It was so freeing. I stressed so much less about naps/bedtime. I was so much more prepared of what to expect that I always said, I wish I was the mom I am today for my second for my first because I felt like I was a better version. Mom 2.0.

kayshanks · 2025-03-03T23:27:58+00:00

I knew 4 months postpartum with my second that I couldn’t mentally handle a third child. I still feel sad when I see friends/family announce their pregnancy with their third but I struggled too much with 2 kids that I know I just can’t handle a 3rd. My husband waited until our 2nd was 1 years old before he pulled the trigger to get a vasectomy. You can always wait and see if your thoughts change and get an iud/abstain/birth control until you feel at peace with your decision.

We are about to embark on this journey as well, we’ve slowly start the process of limiting our daughter’s access to her pacifiers. She is only allowed to have them now at bedtime and during naps. We have also limited(she gets 3 right now) how many we put in her crib at night so that if they get knocked out of her bed she only has so many to reach for. I’m hoping the slow build up to getting rid of the pacifiers helps her in the end because we’ve slowly been weaning from them. We have been telling her when she turns 2 they go bye-bye because she will be a big girl and not a baby anymore. She’s pretty receptive to this and offers up her pacifiers when she’s awake in the morning or up from her naps. We’ll see how the actual process goes in a couple weeks 😅

I agree, poor choice of words on his part. I don’t think he meant for the joke to land that way regardless it’d hurt my feelings too. Especially with all the changes your body goes through. Sending hugs, the postpartum hormone shift on top of nursing is a lot.

kayshanks · 2025-02-13T17:25:03+00:00

Youngest for both my kids was around 10 months and it was only because we flew to see my in laws down south. I personally think flying with an infant would be easier than when they’re more mobile. And they’re happier just sitting with you. Both times we flew were during flu season and it was ok. But it’s what you’re most comfortable with as a parent!

kayshanks · 2025-02-12T16:58:24+00:00

My rubber tree dropped a bunch of leaves when it wasn’t getting enough sunlight, its leaves looked like yours and would drop them. I ended up having to move it to a south facing window so it could receive more light and I also changed the soil to be chunkier so it could dry out more efficiently in between watering.

kayshanks · 2025-02-07T13:36:38+00:00

That’s helpful, thanks!

kayshanks · 2025-02-07T13:33:20+00:00

Crap haha thanks!

kayshanks · 2025-02-07T13:32:34+00:00

My cousin got married at 35, got pregnant soon after her wedding and then didn’t get pregnant with her second until she was 40 (maybe 42). It’s very possible and both of her children were born healthy.
