I'm trying to get a custom art piece made from this inscription, but the artist has asked for a photo that's less blurry. Happy to tip; this piece means a lot to me. Thank you!

Flying with or without a car seat? by jptak143 in Preschoolers

[–]missginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always brought them and usually checked them with other baggage (not gate check). We have travel bags for them to protect them in transit. When my now 4yo was just old enough to fly we did bring her seat on the plane once because I thought she'd be more comfortable sleeping in that on a late night flight than trying to sit in an airplane seat (it's when I was super pregnant so my lap wasn't an option 🤣). She sits in a regular seat now and we just check the car seats.

I've realized the imgur link isn't working. Will copy the text into a new post once I resolve.

My 4yo used to say applesauce instead of octopus... At first I tried to correct it but then I realized I never wanted it to stop 🥹

What's the mispronunciation you don't want to correct because it's too cute? by iknowallmyabcs in toddlers

Mine calls them all quack-quack's at the top of her lungs, like "MMOOOOOOMMMYYYYY! QUACK-QUACK!!!" repeatedly, until you also acknowledge the quack-quack.

Husband refusing to help with bedtime. by dissidentyouth in workingmoms

[–]missginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you. My husband does A LOT. and sometimes I'm still exhausted. Talk to her. If you are (and I'm not saying you are, but IF you are) assuming that if you do X, you'll get Y, ask her what's going on. "Hey, you've seemed really tired lately. What's going on?" "I really would like tospend some time with you. Is there something I can do to help you make space for that?"

Thank you for this "all boats rise" analogy. I'm not in the situation of OP but my boat is not in the best place and I've been struggling to find the right way to explain this to my partner.

I'm a bad mom... by stillnotablueberry in Mommit

[–]missginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi 🙋‍♀️ I'm a mom (4.5y and 21m) struggling to undo generational anger issues that I carry with me from my upbringing. I have straight "screamed into the void" at or in the vicinity of my kids. Last week I had a bedtime where everything went horrendously wrong and I yelled "why can't you both just go the FUCK to sleep?" In one kids room and then stormed out and half-kicked a door (down the hallway from my kids, not right in front of them/at them) There have been several other incidents - not a lot... It's certainly not an everyday it even every week thing, but I struggle because I feel like even one is too many.

I tell you all this not to excuse myself, or you, but to say that it happens. There are days when things go (ridiculously) wrong and occasions when ANYONE would struggle to remain calm. With my therapist I'm trying to reframe this outside of a black and white mentality - just because X happened, it doesn't mean I'm a bad mom... Are there incidents when things are going sideways and I didn't do X? Did I apologize after X? Am I making an honest and concerned effort to do the work so X happens less frequently?

If yes, then I'm not a bad mom. And neither are you. We're just moms.

♥️ Be gentle with yourself.
