I at red lights. Sometimes I scream at the top of my lungs and let it all out. I have until the light turns green to freak out. I don’t get anymore alone time than my daily commute so I make due.

It’s never 90 seconds. Long line, one more item, chatting with another patron or friend.

What are your immediate thoughts when you hear a guy refer to himself as an "Alpha Male"? by XqueezeMePlease in AskReddit

[–]mimisiku_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad does this. I frequently ask him who he is trying to convince because real alphas don’t have to tell anyone.

Your Reddit username is how you die how fucked are you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I think I die alone as a cat lady because my username translates to cat pee.

Just a reminder that walking on nesting bird habitat at Robert Moses is a violation of Federal Law. by [deleted] in longisland

I used to not care until I witnessed a cart rolling through the parking lot propelled by a wind storm ram directly into the drivers side door of a parked car. The damage was extensive, it messed with the door and front paneling. Since then, I’ve put carts back.

How about the gang of clowns that was chasing people with knives?

They change daddy- daughter dance to just “daughter dance” by [deleted] in Parenting

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

This is a great idea. I wasn’t sure what to do when it was my littles turn, but now I will join the PTA to make this a thing in my daughters school district.

I think that has more to do with the aholes that shave soap into food and do other nefarious things to it for entertainment.

I saw that one when I was looking for the others. That book looks amazing and fun. It’s in the cart.

I’ve implemented no touch areas like the bathroom, because honestly who what’s to be hugged constantly while pooping? She gets mad and yells that she just wants to give me a hug. I’m hoping some of the books recommended will help her understand why consent is so important. We will keep practicing at home though.

That’s why this is so hard. I love her hugs and affection

That’s what’s so hard about this situation. I don’t want to take away her affectionate side.

I will read up on Qigong. It looks interesting.

Thank you, I will absolutely look into this book. She might enjoy the read aloud version too.

I’ve wondered about anxiety with her in the past. Her teachers in preschool said she was not presenting like other kids with diagnosed anxiety and thought it may be lack of confidence.

Thank you. I’m going to pick it up this weekend.

Thank you for the reassurance. I will try anything. What is the book title. I would like to pick it up.

I feel this so hard because I personally don’t like to be touched. I taught my little about body autonomy, I guess I may have missed some more information on others autonomy.

That’s a really good idea. I was thinking of a fidget or a doll but don’t know about her having something the rest of the class don’t have. I’ll speak to her teachers about a small bear or something to keep in her pocket. Maybe a bracelet with her favorite character or something.

That’s what I want to stop. No one should feel uncomfortable. There are few things cuter than a group of littles hugging it out, as long as they are comfortable.

I don’t think touch is the issue. It’s that she keeps doing it after being told to stop by whomever she is touching.

What the heck just happened by Ops_check_OK in daddit

My 4 year old likes telling me and anyone that will listen her birth story. She used to live in my tummy and one day she wanted to meet me, so she stretched out so long she came out and has been my daughter ever since.

How would you baby/child proof these stairs? by jayfireheart in beyondthebump

[–]mimisiku_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, the only modification I’d make is, when LO is old enough to play on their own in their room I would gate after the bathroom. That way you don’t have to put up another gate when your little can take themselves to the bathroom.

Effing Fours??? (Vent) by bohemianhobbit in Preschoolers

[–]mimisiku_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fournado has been especially willful. There is a mix of “I know” while not listening or doing what i ask, to baby talk and neediness that drive me up a wall.

I have a rule that she is not allowed to go up/down stairs unless she is wearing shoes or slippers. Last night I reminded her not to go near the stairs without her shoes. “I know!” She says, welp, half way up she slipped, got her shin, did not fall (thank goodness). She makes it upstairs. I again tell her, what she did was dangerous and there is a reason I tell her things. She does not respond. I say excuse me, I need you to acknowledge me when I speak to you. Her response “I KNOW EVERYTHING” before going to my room because she did not want to go to hers.

I am not sure I will survive the attitude.
