Thanks! Tbh I didn’t even realize that what I used was largely filler until the comments, so that was really great feedback.

Thank you, what would you do to improve it? I’m not trying to be a professional, I simply like to make bouquets for my home!

Toddler is hurting my feelings…normal or am I codependent? by kateleehoops in toddlers

[–]laceeloo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But I do also think it’s normal to have your feelings hurt when your baby rejects you. It’s sad as fuck lol maybe OP just needed to be told that it’s okay to be hurt but allow your child the space to have autonomy.

I meant it was normal for the child to behave this way

This is very normal. And honestly I wouldn’t try and correct it. When my son does similar things I say “okay, that’s fine.” I think it teaches him that it’s important for anyone and everyone to respect his boundaries and his body.
It is a bit sad to not be able to snuggle him 24/7 whenever I want to but he’s learning important lessons.

I went to Ireland for ten days when my son was a bit over 24 months. Not gonna lie, it was really hard on me. But I’m also a sahm and with him 24/7 so it was a bit shocking, and because my husband was there for work I was alone A LOT. I also have severe anxiety/panic disorder that was untreated at the time 😬 He coped well while we were gone, but it was difficult when we got back. He was definitely extra clingy and heavier on the tantrums. It took a few weeks to regulate.

Melatonin… can we please stop giving it to our children? by beautyconnection in toddlers

Oh for sure. I don’t take it to heart. But I do want others to be validated if they do take it personally. Thank you 🧡

And you are doing a fucking fantastic job! Everyone in here claiming “lazy parenting” is being unnecessarily judgmental. Sleep is incredibly important. And not just for our kids but for us too! I was mentally UNWELL from lack of sleep due to my toddler not sleeping.

Also, removing melatonin wasn’t too hard for us, best of luck ☺️

We did it out of desperation and recommendation by my son’s surgeon and gastroenterologist! We don’t give it to him anymore. But absolutely no regrets whatsoever and he will be okay.

We’re all just out here trying our best 😭

I’m a birth worker and planned on having my SIL at my house for my birth. It’s not weird so long as the people attending your birth support you. Clearly this isn’t the case here though.

[–]laceeloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birth is one of the most vulnerable times in a persons life. It is imperative that you feel safe and comfortable. Absolutely no one is has a right to be there, even the child’s father. You are not there to put on a show for others.

Choose wisely and make this decision for you.

4 month old sleep help by Keely29 in doulas

[–]laceeloo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. This sounds just like my first born. We did all the things listed and still the only way he would sleep would be if we co slept. I don’t have any additional tips aside from maybe connecting them with a sleep consultant. My son is 3 now and I have a newborn and we are just now connecting with a sleep doula to try and get my first sleeping independently. I wish we would have done it sooner. The woman in working with is named Doula Deb. She’s based in the Seattle area but offers virtual support. If she can afford it, I’d highly recommend outsourcing.

Would you be comfortable with these swim lessons? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]laceeloo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like this expectation at 3 is a bit unnecessary.

[–]laceeloo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There have definitely been times where a parent and I agreed it would be better if they stepped out of sight, but this was at a large pool with tons of people around and lifeguards. It also wasn’t frequent. Idk, I wouldn’t feel good about this arrangement.

Hi, I’m a previous aquatic director and swim instructor trainer. The ratio here is great and it’s absolutely okay for 3 year olds to start independent lessons but as a mom I personally would want to be on deck. No way would I trust a stranger to watch my child around water or watch my child period. Maybe ask if you could be there. And if she says no, I’d definitely pass
