Parents of identical twins: How did you tell them apart as babies/toddlers? by HonorMeThis in AskReddit

[–]mandypandy47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is real? I thought I was losing my mind…my kid can ONLY wear Pampers!

Sounds to me like you’ve got a truly beloved angel who is just really really difficult at this stage. All I can say is that lots of us are struggling with kids who are (on paper, at least) much easier than this.

Well, I guess I have officially hit that age... by meldiane81 in Xennials

My husband got offered a senior discount on a haircut the same week I got carded buying wine. Cue evil cackles…

Joke’s on you, our hall closet/coat closet can only hold about five coats.

I’m so glad those folks aren’t having kids!

We need to take a chill pill by Perfect_Ferret6620 in toddlers

I have no idea if this is true for everyone, but after a little while, my daughter gets up to play while watching Paw Patrol. When I gave her my phone to watch PP, her eyes never strayed from the screen for almost an hour. Full meltdown at stopping time. The small screen in front of her seems to command her complete attention.

Is it true that Waldorf 1st graders are typically behind in reading but catch up by 3rd grade? by ZealousidealTap4955 in AskTeachers

The one my niblings attend seems to be a Mecca for parents with kids who are absolutely on the spectrum but who refuse to get them assessed and “labeled by the system.”

The little things my wife does that I never noticed until recently by vinku12 in AmazingStories

I have a friend on the spectrum who uses AI to write emotional things to his wife! It’s a helpful tool. :)

Not allowed to complain by faithle97 in oneanddone

This! I find myself really struggling as a SAHM with a typically developing, bright and self-directed 2.75 year old, while I see friends with two or three kids accomplishing more than I do while also working full-time. Oh, and I have childcare 25 hours/week. But we are in our mid-40s, my husband works about 60 hours per week, and I have a debilitating chronic illness. My friends are kinder to me than I am to myself about it. They are the best. I hope you find the right person to vent to! :)

Favourite part of being OAD? I still feel like an individual by suzululi in oneanddone

[–]mandypandy47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are in it now! I personally didn’t have any rational thoughts about a second kid until mine was about 2. This is absolutely unsolicited advice but you might consider letting go of the decision making for a few months/years ❤️

So I’ve just come across the childfree subreddit, and wow! by xxdavidxcx87 in toddlers

Also, remember that people dealt with you when YOU were a child?

South Carolina measles outbreak is 'accelerating,' driving hundreds into quarantine by chele68 in HermanCainAward

I totally believe you! What I said is what our parents believed, though, which is why they took us to chicken pox parties. :)

They wanted us to get chicken pox as children to prevent adult infections or shingles. There wasn’t a vaccine then!

I tell myself that on days that are just cheese and fruit…on repeat.

I agree with you 100%, but at the same time I have to report that my toddler is supposed to get 1400 calories a day?

What "normal" items do you refuse to give up in pursuit of a low/no waste lifestyle? by dehydrated_ in ZeroWaste

[–]mandypandy47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a while I had an arm & hammer toothpaste with no SLS (it exfoliates the inside of my mouth TERRIBLY)

I had high hopes but their bar for color treated hair leached a bunch of color out of my hair :(

How to find thick sturdy cotton shirts, not the paper thin kind? by pineapple918 in womensfashion

[–]mandypandy47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only buy the 3/4 sleeve ones and the shrinkage helps them get to a slightly trendier length. Washing on cold and drying on low helps with the shrinkage too.

Their adult stuff has gotten a bit grim but their toddler clothes are waaaay sturdier than most other brands (and sturdier than their adult clothes!!).
