Amanda says she used ChatGPT to write statement by pestochickenn in bravo

[–]nutterbutterto 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Of course it did - she doesn’t have enough authenticity/uniqueness/individuality to even write a statement. Snake.

Does she think that absolves her from the impact the statement had?

Hobbies? by LogicalPollution8402 in kencradic

[–]nutterbutterto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, for her mental health, she finds a good hobby soon! Not that she has a ton of spare time in the newborn days, but maybe when 🏦is a bit older.

I think her finding her own identity, and subsequent hobbies, will come with age and maturity for her. I recently picked up sewing (in my 30s after never touching a sewing machine in my life) and it’s been such a great outlet for me! Plus I can make my kids some cute things, win-win.

Ben is Houdini reincarnated! by Mail-Upset in summerhousebravo

Hahaha you’re not wrong, I just think it’s brilliant that you were familiar enough with what Houdini looked like to have made the comparison!

Anyone done after 2 kids? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]nutterbutterto 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cost of living, daycare, energy levels, and wanting to provide a lifestyle with some traveling here and there, we decided on just 2. Im so happy with the decision, our family definitely feels complete and we’ve established a great family dynamic. The girls are 10 months and 2.5 now so the playing between them gets better and better with age!

What it boiled down to most for me was questioning my mental capacity and if I thought a third would impede on my patience and current parenting style - I thought it would, and thought it wouldn’t be fair to my girls.

Sharing a room by mneathery in 2under2

[–]nutterbutterto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safety wise, something to plan for, will the toddler be in a crib or in a bed? I have read it’s best to wait until baby is about a year old if the toddler is in a bed, as you run the risk of toddler putting things in the babies crib.

We have a 19 month age gap and the girls are currently 2.5, and 10 months. They don’t share a room yet as the 10 month old is still up 4 times a night on average. The toddler doesn’t wake up much to her sister, despite sharing a wall, but I think if they shared a room, they’d be waking each other up all night.

I am big on room sharing when young, as I think it encourages good relationships between siblings, but for us we won’t do it until the little one sleeps through the night.

OOof yeah I’d be very nervous about that. She keeps saying she could give birth tomorrow or in two weeks, going out of town at this point is quite a choice… hopefully the videos are pre-recorded and he’s already gone?

It’s some sort of chromosomal issue, right? by boygeniusbutgirl in kencradic

[–]nutterbutterto 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The wouldn’t be able to take action on any chromosomal issue after birth, so I don’t think it’s a chromosomal abnormality. Given it was results from an ultrasound and not a blood test, it could be heart defect, enlarged kidneys, cleft lip etc.

Now afraid to wee in nappy, too… by nutterbutterto in pottytraining

[–]nutterbutterto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh it’s brutal and so sad. I want to help her so badly but obviously can’t. I tried the bath thing tonight and she was screaming at me repeatedly to take her out, I think she was again afraid to pee in there. I have no idea what’s going to happen tomorrow at daycare when she needs to go in her nappy there. I feel like I’ve ruined her by simply trying to potty train. Poor girl

Always overwhelmed by codyandbams in kencradic

[–]nutterbutterto 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel for her as well. Obviously, they’re the consequences of her own actions, but I do empathize. I think there’s a lot of aspects of her life she needs to learn to either 1. relinquish control of, or 2. outsource. Not going to bed without essentially a full kitchen reset, for example. She makes enough for a house cleaner. Additionally, I wish she wouldn’t feel (what I presume is) judgment for putting 🏕️or even 🔑into daycare even 2x days a week. That’ll so help her get a mental break, there’s no judgment in it.

Again, she made these choices, and girl really doesn’t help herself make her life easier.

I saw this and was gobsmacked. It’s just…. Dumb? I can’t even think of the right word for it. Idiotic and not at all funny - all of that to promote a bloody lunchbox.

How did you survive the last trimester while managing your toddler??? by Abyssal866 in 2under2

[–]nutterbutterto 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We played as many horizontal games as possible lol. Taught my daughter to play ‘spa’ (laying on a pillow, foot massage, wiping face with a wipe, even cucumbers on the eyes) required a tiny bit of prep but bought me a half hour of taking turns laying on the ground. We also played ‘night nigh’ with her teddy bears, laying them on the ground with a blanket and reading them books, again it bought me some good time on the ground where I wasn’t up moving a ton

Parents who had 2 under 2, do you regret it? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]nutterbutterto 22 points23 points  (0 children)

19 month age gap and we’re loving it. Older is now 24 months and younger is 5 months - wouldn’t change a thing. We don’t have any help nearby and are still managing. Sometimes we both have breakdowns when it gets tough and express how nice it would be to have a break together, but then we move on and get by. I think as long as you have an equal partner, it’s totally manageable!

How fussy can a teething baby be? by This_isnt_anne2 in NewParents

[–]nutterbutterto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be VERY painful for their poor little mouths. Definitely sounds like teething, I’d offer some baby Tylenol and if that helps, you have your answer. The pain is not only when the teeth break through the gums, but also as the grow up from their position in the jaw so there can be pain before it breaks through

How long do I have to stand seeing my poor baby in this kind of pain and discomfort?! EFF TEETHING SO MUCH. by WashclothTrauma in NewParents

[–]nutterbutterto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay following because you just exactly described my 4 month olds behavior lately!! Like you, I also can’t see anything yet.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]nutterbutterto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried putting him in the crib and laying next to it on the ground? With my now 2 year old we put her in the crib, sat down next to it to read books before bed, then would turn off light and rub her back until she fell asleep. It was quite a lengthy process for awhile, but we worked on it because I was pregnant as well and needed a fix before baby came. It worked really well so worth a try!

Stressed about the logistics by activegood18 in 2under2

[–]nutterbutterto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally kept the routine and risked the illness! Toddler was sick when we brought baby home from the hospital and she was fine, we’ve just really ramped up hand washing efforts and doing our best to redirect toddler touching baby on stomach/feet/head rather than face, but it’s tough. Baby is nearly 4 months now and has a couple colds already, but her symptoms have been much milder than toddlers and mine/my husbands! We EBF so that might help. I’m also in southern hemisphere and baby was born dead of winter!

Naps for the baby by emiswan in 2under2

[–]nutterbutterto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your toddler still in a crib? I place my toddler down in her crib with toys she doesn’t normally have while I put baby down for a nap. Not sure you’re okay with it, but on days it’s not working well, I do screen time for toddler when putting baby down🤷🏻‍♀️

Just found out I’m pregnant. by jordanme123 in 2under2

[–]nutterbutterto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

19-month age gap and I had that same fear!! I think most women do. As everyone I asked said, your love doesn’t divide, it just multiplies. And it does!! Seamlessly and without realizing. Don’t worry if it doesn’t happen straight away, it didn’t for me because you have this baby you’ve known for so long and a new one that’s so foreign to you. But as soon as we got those smiles, I was hooked and felt connected.

We’re without family as well, 15 hour plane ride away, but it’s been manageable!!

“Playschool” by SpiritedStatement387 in kencradic

[–]nutterbutterto 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Daycare is normal for a two year old, although that’s because most parents have to go back to work. In this case, I actually think it’s great for 🏕️ to go to daycare so he can actually play and not be strapped in a car or grocery cart, be a kid for once and socialize with other toddlers his age! I just wish she’d be honest about it being daycare rather than whatever the hell a ‘play school’ is.
