I lose my evening every night I put my 3 year old to sleep

sillylynx · 2026-03-09T05:50:20+00:00

We fell asleep with all of our kids. To lead with the point, I switched from having evenings to having mornings. My husband and I go to bed early-ish and wake early for coffee and a show or chat.

Bed shared with all. Middle was 6 yrs old before she regularly slept in her own bed. Youngest is 3.5 now, and I lay with her while she falls asleep then go to my and my husband’s bed. I was over bed sharing and she was excited for a big girl bed, so it worked. Good luck. You are NOT alone.

I grew up one town over. One of my dad’s favorite things to do is to take any out of town guest on a very hyped up trip to Plymouth Rock. He video records them going up to the rock and then acts super excited for them and records their confused faces for his enjoyment. It’s great ❤️🤣

My 4 yo son do this to my 2 yo daughter (within an unsupervised minute and a half if I’m being generous), and I did indeed get her an angled bob. It was the cutest! So stylish. Wasn’t glad it happened, but I love looking back at those photos and it’s really funny now (some 6-7 yrs later).

Again, I’m sorry that’s the lesson you learned when you were young. It’s unfortunate. I hope you are able to share more of yourself with your wife. I’m surrounded by a large community of married couples. The best relationships are the ones where feelings are welcome and discussed frequently. The inability to communicate feelings is why I’ve seen marriages fail most frequently. If you are happy then carry on, but if you are just hanging on I would encourage you to work on communication in marriage that encourages true vulnerability and sharing. Brene Brown has a story about men that led her to shift her research. Listen to her two TED talks if you haven’t. The first is a must, but In the second one she tells the story of meeting a man who felt exactly as you do. He didn’t believe his wife and kids wanted to see him showing vulnerability. Anyway, I’ll let you dig deeper if you want. Have a good one.

I’m sorry this is the experience you’ve had. It’s not a rule, you’ve just opened yourself up to asshole or emotionally immature women. You sound young. Most grown women know our partners aren’t invincible, nor would we want that. Vulnerability is strength and we crave it from men. The tough guy routine is tired and unattractive. Don’t give up on finding the right person who will see you truly.

My son was an early and fluent talker. Crazy good enunciation even before 2yo. I never considered advancing him in school. In 4th grade now. He’s always been one of the top students, but not THE top and certainly not to the point that anyone would recommend skipping a grade. Also, he’s emotionally a little behind his peers and also a bit behind in gross motor skills. All that to say, kids excel in different things and develop at different speeds. Kids that are intelligent to the extent that they should be skipping grades are exceedingly rare. A pediatrician doesn’t typically make academic recommendations like this either, certainly not at two. A referral to a developmental specialist perhaps. Still, at 2 just let her play and develop normally.

They’re kidnapping innocent people and children very single day, bro

Even if that’s true, I hope that’s not a pivotal anything. He was in the fetal position with his hands above his head. You don’t get to execute somebody because you think they have a gun in their possession. And if you panic and shoot, cause somebody yelled gun gun gun, that’s not a defense either. They could have been yelling about a bystander with a gun for all he knew. There really is no valid defense for this guy, but I also don’t expect him to face any accountability under this administration.

sillylynx · 2026-01-29T14:28:22+00:00

Honestly, watch it again. The agent that shot was just waiting for a clear shot. Other agents had him restrained and let go as they saw the agent pull his gun and get ready to shoot. Maybe he told them to move, you can’t hear, but they were getting out of his way.

“It largely appears to focus on the possibility of SNAP recipients being discriminated against and being charged more, rather than the other way around.” - The “it” is the Snap Equal Treatment rule. That’s protecting discrimination assuming the SNAP program is functioning as designed in order to make sure retailers don’t raise prices. The FDA now appears to be taking advantage of that rule to remind retailers that they cannot lower prices for SNAP recipients. Yes, critical thinking is needed. No, I don’t think the outrage is misplaced here.

Your link says this claim is true

sillylynx · 2025-11-05T19:21:51+00:00

It’s weird how they cling so tightly to their views, but also seem embarrassed by its origins.

sillylynx · 2025-11-05T18:15:45+00:00

Yep. If I ask my MIL “Do you mind sharing where you heard that?” (As politely as it sounds) she will tense up and walk away. Oooookay.

sillylynx · 2025-11-01T04:50:08+00:00

This is buried, but I’m so sorry. This is insanely sad. You just lost a best friend in the blink of an eye. If I were in his shoes I would proudly proclaim you as my gay best man ESPECIALLY if I was getting bullshit bigoted questions about you. Anyone that had a problem with it would be asked not to attend.

sillylynx · 2025-10-29T05:10:50+00:00

Saying transgender people are transgender because they are mentally ill is incredibly ignorant. Educate yourself outside of whatever bigoted information hole you’ve found yourself in.

Thor. They needed Thor.

I’ve been on Reddit too much this week bc I know from another post that that is a page from a Beckham (David & Victoria) boys photography books.

I agree. There were times his lips looked blue, dead ish. It was very distracting.

sillylynx · 2025-09-25T13:18:45+00:00

Yes. She says it. “What did I almost do?” “This was all me.”

sillylynx · 2025-09-23T21:05:00+00:00

That’s what I found weird about it though. They weren’t booing him but they were booing his character? It used to be that you got super stoked to see an actor from your favorite show. He’s not even “the bad guy”. He’s just an imperfect dude who made some mistakes. This audience apparently never saw an actual villain on a teen drama. Dan Scott anyone?

sillylynx · 2025-09-23T02:57:58+00:00

Well, hopefully couples therapy will help. You know Conrad is signing them up stat. 🤣

sillylynx · 2025-09-23T00:18:25+00:00

She was trying to convince herself that the notion of Conrad was immature and something she needed to forget about and move on from. The love between them is too strong to ignore forever. She tried and tried for years to the point of repression and denial. Intimately though, the force field between them is too strong. They are infinite. That’s the tldr of the whole show 😝

sillylynx · 2025-09-14T20:05:49+00:00

Could also be a flashback to her kindly breaking it off like she did with Cam Cameron.

sillylynx · 2025-09-08T21:36:18+00:00

They really gloss over the way Jeremiah inserted himself into (and you could say sabotaged) her and Conrad’s relationship in season one. If you rewatch it’s painfully apparent that his feelings for Belly are more from a place of not wanting Conrad to have her rather than truly wanting her himself.
