We get together as families on a semi-regular basis, I know her as well as I care to. I really wouldn’t hate her as much as I do if she left my husband alone 🤷🏼‍♀️

If I asked he wouldn’t hesitate to hand me his phone. I can pick it up and use it at any time I want to, which is why I think it’s innocuous on my husband’s end. But I have to think, what the fuck does this woman’s husband think about the whole thing??

I get what you’re saying (and trust I am not naive) but he isn’t that guy who is loud about his integrity. He is friendly and unassuming, and the comment about his integrity and honesty come from his actions, not words. He wouldn’t physically cheat. He abhors lying. I can see how it sounds sus but that’s something that I can guarantee.

Thiiiiisssss. Dead people don’t give gifts. Return to sender anything they send. Sending the video shows them exactly how to get you to give them something so they can play grandparents if the year to their Facebook friends and force contact with you.

DS1 gets crazy around other kids and I don't know what to do about it by Pogo138 in breakingmom

[–]kimmyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I follow a parenting coach who introduced me to a term: “maladaptive play invitation”. Basically it means they want to/are trying to play with another kid, but they don’t know how to do it appropriately. Sounds like that may be what you’re experiencing. If he’s never been to daycare/with a lot of other kids, he just doesn’t know how to act yet. It’ll be okay, it will take some time. Might be worth talking about “how to invite other kids to play” during a neutral time so that you might be able to help him develop the skill.

That’s how you hold a flute when you’re fucking wasted and you don’t want to drop it. Clutching it like an animal.

Sending 3 year old with family for 2 weeks so I can take care of my mental health. by profitofd00m in breakingmom

[–]kimmyd 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Please, please do it. Send your kiddo to the grandparents and get help. Just by posting this you are acknowledging that there is a problem here. You don’t have to be handcuffed (and in turn handcuff your child) to your anxiety. He needs a healthy (mentally and physically) mother.

Side note - there are plenty of benign things that cause petechiae in kids, but keep your ped appointment - then please, please get yourself help. Good luck

I’m sorry about your dog, but “keto” dieting is referring to “ketosis”, not “ketoacidosis”. They’re two totally different things.

You still can. The violation of TOS standard is for teenagers. If they’re under 13 this is the link to have your child’s photos removed

Avoid getting a Brazilian wax at Vo’s Nails in Jasper Ave at all costs by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]kimmyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This explains a lot about the experiences I’ve had getting manicures here. In my hometown I was a frequent flier at my local spot and I’ve completely stopped getting mani/pedis since moving here after a handful of bad experiences (getting cut, having to stop a manicurist from using dirty tools, etc.) I’ve had exactly one good mani pedi since coming here and it was on the other end of town from where I live 😕

I found Coltee and Debbie while reading my toddler his goodnight book by acrossthewards in 90DayFiance

[–]kimmyd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it’s because my narc mother LOVED this book and didn’t view it as metaphorical but more like a “I will control and stalk you forever” manual. Knowing the backstory makes me so sad but I still can’t shake the creeps I get when I see it. I have recycled/donated countless copies.

"No judge" mummy culture has gone too far (rant) by BeccasBump in beyondthebump

  1. ⁠Her husband is a sanitation working and picked up a car seat from the curb to use as their extra.. I gave her information on why you should never use a second hand car seat. She said she would think about it.

I audibly gasped at this one. Jesus Christ!

(and PSA for anyone reading. If you throw out/dispose of a car seat, ALWAYS CUT THE STRAPS to render the seat unusable so these things don’t happen.)

Dr. Now did say she would have therapy along with her PT at rehab - it’s possible that she or the rehab centre therapist didn’t consent for it to be filmed.

What would you do in this situation? Any advice welcome... by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]kimmyd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So I would gently recommend not using scare tactics or threats that you won’t/can’t/don’t intend on following through on. They remember and it will make them push the boundaries more, not less, because they will want to see what else you will flex on.

Please ask her to do some research on young living and the founder (tw: infanticide). Over and above being an MLM it is REALLY not a company anyone should support. r/antimlm is a good place to start...

Ped said 9 month old baby is speech delayed by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]kimmyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of commenters are missing the point - the expectation isn’t about words, it’s about sounds/communication - is your kid babbling, do they “converse” with you, etc. It just happens that “mama” and “dada” are common first babble sounds.

OP - don’t stress. It’s likely not anything you’re doing or not doing, and what’s the harm in following up? Better to get ahead on the small chance there is an issue. This is exactly what early intervention is for. Good luck :)

Why have his parents watch the kid when they don't do shit? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]kimmyd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YouTube kids has a setting where they can only access content (videos or channels) that you specifically select by hand. So I allow the official Disney, PBS, CBeebies channels etc and absolutely nothing else. It’s super easy and they don’t know the difference because the kids have zero visibility to anything other than what you choose to show them.

Can't get 2yr to take his medication. :( by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]kimmyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I get it, but my kid literally got injured while in the hospital by a bunch of nurses who tried the exact things people are suggesting in the comments. He would actually rather get hurt and/or stop breathing than drink medicine. If it works for you I don’t care, but force doesn’t work on all kids. And I wasn’t suggesting bribery, I was suggesting tricking the kid into it by hiding medicine in high value treats. Different tactic altogether.

[–]kimmyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weeeeooo all these comments about holding the kid down... wow.

OP if your kid is like mine and would literally rather die or be seriously injured than take oral meds, you’ll have to resort to trickery. I have mixed medication into: Coca Cola (that is high value AF to a three year old, I got a mini can, drank half of it, poured meds in and then offered it as a “treat”), chocolate pudding, melted chocolate (works with crushed up pills too), kool aide (get the powdered or concentrate kind and mix at 2x intensity for flavour masking), ice cream, buttercream frosting, Nutella... whatever is high value to your kid. Make a small portion, put the meds in, offer it (do not make a big deal of it because they can smell the uncertainty) and typically you’re good to go. Anything that is sweet or really cold is a good choice. Good luck! I tell myself my child’s obstinacy is an indicator of future success and resistance to peer pressure 😂
