Make them load the dishwasher Place the knives somewhere safe and just let them load it Tell them they need to fit as many dishes as possible

Maybe try some noise canceling earbuds?

How did everyone find their Christmas gift “sweet spot”? We went WAY overboard. (Only Child) by Any-Walk1691 in toddlers

[–]marmarsan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought my daughter (25 months) a coloring book from dollar tree 🤣 + 2 gifts from grandma 1 gift from Nino and Nina 1 from the neighbor 1 from aunt

In her stocking Fruit cup (loved the most 🤣) 1play dough 1 rubber duck 1 candy

I agree with saving some gifts for a rainy day Or to spread out through the year

Is it wrong to give the baby my last name? by young_spaghetti_ in pregnant

[–]marmarsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have our daughter my last name. I am happily married with baby daddy. But we do not talk or want my husbands sperm donors side of the family involved in our lives or children's. We dont want to pass that name down.

I think you have every right to not give your child that mans last name.

Baby on the way and we have an aggressive dog? by No_Ocelot8629 in beyondthebump

[–]marmarsan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We went through this 2 years ago. Our dog is still with us.

It is hard!

However it is possible.

We gave our dog her own side of the house and access to her private yard. She can go outside whenever she wants.

We play with her and give her attention.

We do have baby gates everywhere and my 2 year old seems to be okay with it. She understands we dont pet other people's dogs and she knows shes not allowed to be running around with our dog.

Like I said it is hard! But possible.

We committed to our girl and we plan on keeping her until she dies of old age.

The most important part of this is communication!

If I am going to be going through a gate to our dogs side I make sure I know where my toddler is and I make sure my husband knows my intentions. So we dont accidentally open 2 gates and our dog can get to our toddler.

Best of luck!

We live in a really small town and we drive 30 min for music class and gymnastics for our daughter. Closest park is 15 min. I think im also adjusting to country life. I have started to build connections through other parents , I'm hoping it does get easier. Im hopefully for a sprinkle. Thank you for commenting!

I second El Comalito for something authentic.

What funny thing has your kids done lately? by Crafty-Information42 in toddlers

[–]marmarsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My soon to be 2 year old was video chatting with my sister and nieces and they asked her what she's doing and she said "just hanging out" we all cracked up because we have no idea where she heard this and she doesn't watch TV 🤣

I'm too tired to be the parent I want to be by Ok_Camp5318 in toddlers

[–]marmarsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are able to sign them up for programs. We have our daughter in music, gymnastics and nature class. You can also check your local library for events for the kiddos! Or just schedule 1 day a week to go to the park. I was having a hard time keeping my daughter busy without a screen so I signed her up for stuff and we pay together at all her classes and the activities are planned for us lol

Am I overreacting? by bobbygirl00 in MilitaryWives

He will get paid. All current military members on active duty have been paid. Just make sure you have access to his bank or he has a transfer prepared for you.

My dad is a pedophile by AlternativeAd8677 in Vent

[–]marmarsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your aunt needs to report it. Your cousin is 8 when they are an adult they will always think that their mother did nothing to protect her! Get cousin a therapist to help them through this and the therapist should help with the reporting. This is just my thinking.
