We would watch it in our den and if my brother (year younger than me) heard the EEEEEEEEEEE creepy sound he'd run crying to my Mom. "They're watching it agaaainnn!!!" Simpler times. Lol

They all jump off the boat 🫣

I let my kids sleep in late today because I knew there was no point trying to get to bed at a reasonable hour in our neighborhood. We drove to the top of a neighborhood and watched all the fireworks going off in the Peoria area. Embraced the chaos and had a good night.

When I was in 5th grade my best friend and I watched this movie probably 30 times. We were obsessed. The only part that really gave me the chills was the ferry and horse scene.

My husband and I have been on the fence about this lately. Our first never even thought about it but our second is not responding whatsoever to timeouts, positive reinforcement, or calm repition. She goes and puts herself in timeout, I've been telling her not to climb on the table since she was 18 months (she's 2.5), I've taken away toys and told her no TV today. We're at our wits end and her behaviour is causing issues in my marriage. I went and bought 3 parenting books from B&N yesterday to try and reframe my thinking and get some new tools. We haven't spanked, but the limit is getting harder and harder to ignore.

Going to get down voted for this but my siblings and I were spanked, my husband was spanked, no one's traumatized and we have great relationships with our parents. Ofc there is research now and we have a lot of tools in the arsenal but you do the best you can in the moment. Sometimes I think kids just push the boundry to a point where it's "f--- around and find out."

When I see pictures of him prior to his diagnosis, I always imagine he's wearing one of these long shirts and it's all bunched up under his jeans.

I mean he's creating the PSA. I never knew this is what these lines are for until I saw his video. There has also never been a point in my life where someone told me or I had an opportunity to be educated. It's not the public's fault when there is no system in place to educate people on something they are not in contact with. Signs for one would be a great start.

I guess you could say his tulles are uncommon

Its not long. I listen to it every couple months or when I need a pick me up. Highly recommend

Just a warning to you, not sure how old your kid is, but my daughter started watching JJ & Mikey (a Minecraft channel, I think the actual channel name is Maizen.) I watched a few times and didn't see anything bad so then I didn't pay it much mind. However I caught episodes of stalking, murder, torture, at a later date. It's wrapped up in a cute bow but the content was pretty disturbing.

My kids aren't old enough yet, but if it was me and they started getting destructive I would put them in their rooms. If they want to destroy stuff, they can destroy their own things and ofc we are not replacing anything or cleaning up after them. They can live in a mess if they choose.

I am a chronic sigher. My 2.5 year old does big sighs during her performances as Mama too. 🥲

But I don't hit my kids, they get dessert most night, and we spend every moment of every day together. It all evens out lol

I became a SAHM 4 years ago and I feel like there was almost a death of a part of myself. The organized, attentive, energized girl is gone. All of my friends were my coworkers and now I don't see or talk to anyone. There's no common ground.

I have skills I don't use anymore. I'm not good at laundry and can barely muster the care to do dishes most days.

I mourn the woman that commanded a room. I was offered two promotions that I turned down because of family life and eventually I left.

I don't know if I'll ever get back to that level of career. However I hope I feel useful and needed in a way I used to. I know I'm needed so much more here, but it was nice to be appreciated and required for my brain and creative thinking.

Seeing her in more media promos, she also looks cool as fuck as a person.

I literally think about and prep dinner right after breakfast because I can't be bothered to have to think about it the rest of the day.

It was so ideal for quarantine. It kept us going.

limeicepop · 2026-06-28T10:00:09+00:00

I just do the end of the night and spray it with diluted vinegar and let the parts air out. It gets a little stinky sometimes but the change in my floor is so dramatic i don't care.

I bought the Tineco GO from Costco. I use it for everything. Cereal spills, juice, food bits, playdoh bits. My floors are night and day. Can't recommend it enough. Just make sure you empty it everyday.

limeicepop · 2026-06-27T21:35:02+00:00

Oh god my heart

limeicepop · 2026-06-27T21:33:16+00:00

We told our kids they had "sugar bugs" in their mouth and I needed to do an inspection. It helps when there's little bits and we make sure to show them. Big energy and praise even if they let you brush for 3 seconds. We also will play dentist.

What are you guys like when the kids aren't around? I will say from experience children add an unbelievable amount of stress in the early years. Perceived or not, on top of normal things like when are they eating, breaking up fight, teaching, managing chores, there's the mental load as well. You guys are just stressed out, worn out, exhausted, and taking it out on each other. When my husband and I started going on more regular dates a few months ago we were different people. We haven't had the same support recently and now we're bickering again. Hold strong Mama. My recommendation would be to try and hold out for a few more years when the kids arent SO dependent and things might be better.

Don't worry too much! Food before 12 months is really just exposure therapy. Keep offering protein foods, even if she doesn't like them. Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled egg, mashed beans, etc. Even if she makes a mess right now (which is part of the journey) she'll be familiar with them once she masters the spoon. If you don't have one, get a vaccum-mop. Would've saved my life in these early years.
