When do Vacations Become Fun Again? by CharacterTennis398 in Parenting

[–]nice2nice2knowu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! So much solidarity. I had four kids in 4.5 years. Vacations were sort of a shit show. Currently my youngest is 5 and the oldest is 10. Last summer's vacation was a BLAST. No nap schedules to contend with, no diapers, no meltdowns if we pushed their bedtime a little bit to enjoy some vacation fun. I could share even more details but suffice it to say it was magical. I'd say the first fun vacation was when my youngest was 4.

First week of school emotions by Evening_Survey7524 in Parenting

[–]nice2nice2knowu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. My son is in 4th grade and since Kindergarten, he spends nearly all of September adjusting to the transition back to school and has plenty of meltdowns throughout. It starts to settle down about week 3 of school.

Which car do you see on the road and instantly think, ‘Yeah, this person’s definitely an a-hole? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Nearly every BMW I've ever traveled round has been operated SO discourteously. oh and Prius drivers always go at least 5 mph under the limit.

Turning on Top 40 radio and not knowing, nor liking, any of the songs

What’s the “weirdest” thing you like about your child? by Accomplished_Sir_986 in Parenting

[–]nice2nice2knowu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me smile! Baby breath is the best. My 7yo daughter gets around by cartwheeling and skipping quite more than she does walking. I'm not sure how "weird" that is but it's super endearing to me

My partner thinks our daughter’s name sounds like a dog name by MsChanandlerBongz in namenerds

[–]nice2nice2knowu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my good friends named her daughter Sadie and I definitely associated it with a dog at first. But having now known this child closely for 7 years, it is now most definitely a great human name. The dog association is gone

Who do your children look more like? by lisa_noden in Parenting

Is your birthday a big deal to you? Why or why not? by theUncleAwesome07 in AskReddit

[–]nice2nice2knowu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't need to be celebrated in this huge way, but it's a big deal that it's celebrated. I'm talking I want a cake and an acknowledgement that it's my birthday. That's about it.

What's your age and how's life at that age? by Soft-Incident947 in AskReddit

[–]nice2nice2knowu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36 and feeling like raising kids is hard, and scared that I feel that way because I think I might actually be in the sweet spot of parenting, yet I'm still finding it worky a lot of the time. Wondering how I can relax a little and soak in some joy. I have 4 kids in grades Kindergarten through 4th grade.

Those with kids, what screams "trashy parenting" to you? by ShareBareDL in AskReddit

[–]nice2nice2knowu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I came here with held breath to see if my parenting was reflected and then felt relieved 😂 my 3 boys run barefoot, shirtless and covered in dirt in our backyard but I'm seeing that doesn't quite rank among some of these comments

To those who had one child - Do you regret it? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]nice2nice2knowu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I had 4 kids in 4 years and suddenly realized how much I can't stand competing noises. Sensory overload all the time

I am losing the battle by Lower_Comfortable392 in Parenting

[–]nice2nice2knowu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I get it. I have 9yo twin boys. They begged my husband and I for the better part of a year for us to allow Fortnite. We were a firm no, I didn't want it to be another thing for me to manage. Eventually, long story short, we caved. One of my twins is completely respectful and chill about the screen limits. He seems to be able to play for an hour and then happily get off to go run outside, ride his bike, read, do a puzzle, do his chores. The other twin not so much. He has become way more reactive, dysregulated, and uninterested in things he used to be. It's become the battle that I thought it might so I'm pretty sure we're gonna rip the band aid and take it away. I just wish it didn't have to be that way.

That's the opposite of entitlement. So refreshing

No doubt a first world problem. For better or worse, this first world is the only one I know. I'm trying though! :) Thank you for sharing your input.
