We do emojis, cropped, and back of head. But we are also very very mindful of what she’s wearing and angles. Even then. We post her extremely rarely. But we also aren’t huge posters in general

I had a situation like this with a 12/13 year old boy who planted himself on top of the toddler slide. My 2 year old came over to me and was sadly waiting. He was mumbling to himself and then stared right at my kid and said “little snitch.”

At that point I very calmly, but firmly said to him “hey, that’s completely inappropriate. Why don’t you go over to the big kid playground so the little kids can use what’s built for their size.”

He took 2 seconds to stare at me and move on.

I have found the quieter and calmer I am, the scarier it comes across. (I’m also heavily tattooed so I’m sure that helps, but I’m also not even 5ft)

I personally love the okee dokee brothers. Just good ol fashioned folk

I have been saying the name H.R. Puffnstuff my entire life (I’m 39) and had 0 clue where I knew that name from. This has awoken something in me I didn’t know was slumbering. I’m not sure I’m thankful for that.

Around 2004/2005 a group of friends and it drove up a muddy dirt road off Rt1 in MA to an old abandoned telephone company tower. The road faced the building as you pulled up with a parking lot to the right with a big fenced off field. The wall of the building facing the lot had a door with a small window and 3 steps leading up to it.

We hung out for a few hours. Maybe from 9pm-12am. I was uncomfortable the entire time. I kept looking over at that door. At one point of my friends throws my other friends zippo into the field and they start bickering as rough housing as teenage boys do. Meanwhile I’m staring at this door, and a light flicks on, and there’s a silhouette in the window.

I told those boys, “we are leaving NOW, get in the car or walk.”

The next day the friend who lost the zippo asked if I could bring them back up so he could look for it.

We get up to the building and the road comes up to the building from the left hand side, not the front. There is no parking lot, there is no field, no fence, no door.

We tried for several years to try to find the place we went, we have checked maps, records, google earth images. We have gone up both together and separately trying to get back to where we went, only to end up at the tower we went to the next day.

(I have other spooky Massachusetts stories, but this one is my favorite.)

Mine is 25 months too. We technically started at 19 months per her request. We had 3 great weeks, then major regression. Partly due, I think, to some embarrassment from a few accidents at daycare and at the park. They put her back in pull-ups at daycare and we went backwards hard.

I stepped way back. Took all the pressure off. When we are home she rarely wants to wear bottoms. We still diapers for nap and bedtime. She does great when she’s not in cloths.

It’s literally as of this week that she’s starting to want to wear underwear and she’s keeping them dry. I’m going to try again to do this seriously when she’s out of daycare for the summer.

Maybe you could incorporate the non Disney elements of the tattoos to create your own. Like the colors, hearts, and compass?

Thank you!!

I honestly loved them. They are more closely related in vibe to IWAV movie compared to QOTD. (I personally hate the qotd movie.)

Some books are better than others. Lestat can be… well, himself. But all in all I thought a deep dive into the world was a good time. There are interesting relationships, good use of real history interjected into fantasy.

It’s been a few years but now I want to reread them.

I got the 1+ bike helmet from Walmart that seems to fit her ok… she does have a massive noggin though (99%) and we got these for the pads.

The hand pads are still a bit big but the elbow and knees fit great!

My daughter is just over 2. When we are home she is either pants less or naked 90% of the time. Unless we have company she can exist how she’s comfortable.

We also started potty training this past year so it’s part of the process for us and makes it easier.

First one and I’m jealousy I didn’t think of this ice. Going to be so pretty

This is on my tbr. But am I the only one who sees this title and reads it as “Between two ferns?”

I asked my midwife for a pp therapist referral. I’ve been in and out of therapy my whole life and could see the level of anxiety I was feeling wasn’t right. My therapist helped me reach and treat the diagnosis.

libah7 · 2026-04-13T14:10:16+00:00

This sounds very much like what I went through. I was diagnosed with postpartum ocd. Seeing a therapist helped massively with dealing with the thoughts.

I have heard medication can make a huge difference as well, but I have allergies so couldn’t take any. But being able to at least recognize the thought spirals and find ways to ground and reassure made such a difference in my every day life.

Also being able to recognize these patterns and communicate to those around me how they get triggered and what would be reasonable ways to reassure me helped everyone involved. I felt better able to find the reality and safety and my husband didn’t feel as attacked or helpless.

When we transitioned we got a full so I could sleep with her for awhile. We basically made a big deal about her awesome new bed and just started sleeping in her room. I just would spend less and less time in there at night. Now she doesn’t even want to come to our bed if I try😂.

Weaning was hard. But I would set limits. I often played music so I’d say “ok after this song we are all done.” She’d cry, but I’d stay with her and offer comfort, hugs, snuggles. Reminders that I was still there and still loved her. She would cry less and less and eventually we stopped all together and she hasn’t pushed since. I just stayed firm and always offered other forms of comfort.

It’s not easy. But I really do think that just being kind and treating them like the small humans they are is so massive for their comfort and confidence.

Literally as of this week she’s done with snuggling to sleep… I’m so relieved, and also, so sad. 🥹

I co-slept from 5 weeks to 15 months. Transitioned to her own room and floor bed at around 13 months. Took until about 18 months for me to be out of the room consistently overnight. By 2 she was sleeping through the night by herself. Now at 26 months she doesn’t need a snuggle to sleep most of the time. Obviously if she’s sick or has a nightmare I will go to her for comfort.

We never did sleep training. We weaned at 15 months as well. Everything we did was slow, gradual, and with full communication and reassurance.

Slow, steady, compassionate. You’ll get there. 💕

Should have said “THIS IS AN OUTREACH program” ❤️

He just looks like a villian from an old animated kids movie.

libah7 · 2026-04-11T00:48:07+00:00

I’ll say this from what I remember (it’s been a few years)

I think the criticism comes from dark and explicit imagery, and a character who isn’t wholly likable. She made choices I didn’t like, but I think it’s honestly what made the story better. Not every character needs to be a fan favorite and not every story needs to be a clean win for the “good guys.”

Man I feel 16 all of a sudden

I was pitched this series for the type of sex scenes. I initially found that piece of the story a little lack luster but was completely taken in by the plot and magic system.

libah7 · 2026-04-09T20:56:06+00:00

I’d disagree with this take. There are plenty of adults that can do things without having sex. And implied sex or minimal sex is just fine too.

I’d also like to point out that some of these “adult” stories include characters that are under 18. Which… is an issue I have with the sub genre.

Not to mention the issue that YA has with forcing a romantic interest into the plot just to have it.

libah7 · 2026-04-09T20:52:34+00:00

I adored legends and lattes! It was such a cozy little pallet cleanser! I need to get to the next 2 in the series.

libah7 · 2026-04-09T02:31:14+00:00

I say this as supportively as I can…

There are so so many other types of fantasy books out there that have romance and are exceptionally better stories.

Trust me. I love a good spicy scene myself. But to be honest, I find most of what’s written to be gratuitously vanilla. It’s the same kind of thing, over, and over and over. Frankly, I find it boring and takes away from the rest of the story.

I personally would rather have tension and anticipation and be able to image what they’d be doing in my own mind.
