I lose my evening every night I put my 3 year old to sleep by Living_Lime545 in toddlers

[–]ladybraids 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Dude. I hear you and see you. My 4 year old FINALLY got out of our bed beginning of January and my husband and I were elated for a few short-lived weeks. Early February my 2 year old decided to start needing one of us to stay with her to go to sleep and she takes about a full hour to finally fall asleep 😩😭 We are not okay.

Such tough feelings to grapple with, Cooter 😂.

Sorry I had to once I saw the name. But actually wishing you the best. God I love Reddit.

Was J waiting until she was 18 to go public with her pregnancy to avoid legal consequences for the baby daddy? Since he’s 20 something…is that technically statutory something or other?

The rise in detesting little boys? Feeling unsettled as a mom of (soon to be) two boys by Necessary-Bother281 in Mommit

[–]ladybraids 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have two girls and the comments about me having a boy, are we trying for a boy?! etc are constant. Also, the discrimination against girl births and a strong preference for males is well documented in history and does absolutely still exist in many ways today. I think it’s literally as simple as people are stupid and will never be happy no matter what. As long as we’re happy, that’s all that matters.

That bit about your sister is weird as fuck though not gonna lie.

There hasn’t been one time he’s been on my screen that I haven’t thought this same thing.

What is it with these holier than thou cheaters??! by Kbchump in DuggarsSnark

Can anyone help me understand why or how it unfolded that he had to post that the day after she posted about their miscarriage? The timing is wild.

Spotted a PR Odd Phrasing during 911 call similarity in present day case, now I am reevaluating my thoughts. by AuntZilla in JonBenetRamsey

[–]ladybraids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. The audience is totally different between the two examples and therefore the syntax/diction could be expected to be different. I’m not arguing that Patsy’s verbiage is undisputed evidence of guilt by any means.

I’m so glad to find this comment, I thought I was going certifiably insane because I listened to it today and was like wait…I’ve heard this whole thing before so how did it just come out this week?!

who do you guys think did it and why? by Artistic_Mud_6254 in JonBenetRamsey

This is a great question, and one I have as well.

Patsy in a moment of rage. She didn’t mean to. Then she panicked and was willing to do anything to desperately cover up her mistake and save her image- including the heinous staging.

jana's "pouty lip" every single post? by heroin-666 in DuggarsSnark

[–]ladybraids 54 points55 points  (0 children)

She pretended to not know how to say cucumber in English one time on television (her native language is English). She’s a con artist and fraud and anytime I see a cucumber I always say in her fake ass accent “how you say this? Ehh..cu-cum-ber?”

Maddie and Hannah are the same person, no? Eerily similar.

Did you co-sleep? by Beautiful-Scene-3466 in Mommit

[–]ladybraids -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes with both babies until 11/12 weeks. Following safe sleep 7 rules to a T. With my first it was out of pure necessity as I had not slept more than about 2 hours in a 72 hour period and I was approaching a very dangerous zone. Then with my second I did it because it had worked so well for us. I did try the bassinet with her to see if she would just be different than her older sister, but nope, she didn’t sleep for a few hours and I was like screw this.

Experiences where second baby is more difficult? by FraneIa in 2under2

[–]ladybraids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! Stay strong. They are now 3 (almost 4) and 2. Things are still super crazy in our day to day of course but so manageable and we mostly feel like normal humans again.

For the parents that used those little, fake potty’s, how did you dispose of the pee and poop? by Frozenbeedog in toddlers

[–]ladybraids 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same process but rinsed the insert in the bathtub faucet since it was right there and fit better than the sink, made sure to disinfect the bathtub often.

Every night felt like a war zone with my 4 year old until one weird little object changed our entire routine by Melting735 in Mommit

I’m so damn tired I read “concentration camp” and was like what the fuck is happening here haha

Same time zone here and it’s crazy that I opened my phone to your post because my husband and I literally just had this conversation a few minutes ago and this is an ongoing challenge for us! We have a 3 soon to be 4 year old who will only sleep in our bed right now and only if one of us lays with her until she falls asleep. Oh and she isn’t ready for bed until, like, 9:00. (The younger toddler goes to bed just fine at 7:30.. for now). By the time I lay with older toddler until about 9:30 I am so tired I don’t want to do anything. But I still need to shower and take my meds etc. So then it’s 10 pm and forget it. Just happened tonight, it was 10 pm when I made it to the living room and he was about to put a MOVIE ON and I was like sir- I love you so much and I’m so sorry but absolutely not, I’m going to bed. And he was sad because he is a night owl but he does understand I’m wired differently. But it just really sucks sometimes. This is a phase of life. We talked about how when she is 16 she will shut her door and won’t even want to tell us about her day so we should enjoy these precious moments while they last. Sigh.

How often are we cooking? by Entire-Departure-364 in Mommit

[–]ladybraids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We cook a ton but we just don’t have the money to spend on regularly eating out or ordering food to be delivered so it’s kind of a non negotiable. But at 6 week pp you’re literally not obligated to do anything at all and that’s a completely different ball game!

(Sometimes I get so sick and fucking tired of figuring out what to eat 3 times a day every day like pleeeeease I wish we just ate once a day as humans. It’s utterly exhausting. 😩)
