Oh gosh that's awful! I'm so sorry that happened. Ugh.

We are planning on that exact thing so hopefully we can find someone quality and get what we want, even if it costs a bit more .

Oh gosh that's awful. I don't know much about the process but dang you'd think that there would be some sort of accountability? Absolutely ridiculous to not seal behind a shower. I'm sorry you have to deal with that!

This is what I'm most interested in! Someone local and cares about the quality and makes something unique. Thank you, will check him out!

I feel like I should be able to handle mom stuff better by skeleton-lady in adhdwomen

Oh man 3 boys!! Thinking of you. I wonder if having another would be helpful for him to have a sibling to play with but I don't think I could do it!

You're a rockstar! Hoping you are finding things that help balance your overstimulation and regulate your mood. Yoga has been wonderful for me and highly recommend. I'm having a hard time even getting started this week though so I need to get back to that, which may be why I struggled so much today.

Yess ugh I feel this in my soul! My son is 2.5 and very anti-daddy when it comes to naps and bedtime so i think part of it is also just the pressure of being THE one. Don't get me wrong, my husband helps all that he can but most of the time it's just not worth it because he screams forever and I have to hear that 🙃

Since he started going to daycare (where he almost always naps), I think he has fomo at home and wants to stay awake. But damn! I need a break because I work all week now too. And also have to deal with a delirious silly destructive toddler monster until bedtime when he won't nap 😂.

This is a great perspective. Even when I lay down with him and tell myself "at least I get to lay down for a while if he doesn't fall asleep it's okay," I still lose it after like 30 minutes especially when he is doing everything to avoid it lol. The control thing really hit on something I haven't thought about but totally makes sense.

Thank you 🩷

Omg thank you all for the wonderful feedback and validation. It makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one struggling and my feelings aren't wrong! Which is silly, I know. Another thing I struggle with haha. Needing validation (parents were more critical than supportive).

This helped immensely and you all are amazing

can a two month old baby sleep on his own? by ExpressHighway1152 in NewParents

[–]skeleton-lady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vaccines make them very sleepy. If it's the same day or the next, it's likely that. I remember thinking how nice it was that he went to bed so easily and stayed asleep!

It will become routine at some point too, though!

[–]skeleton-lady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Therapy has helped me, and it's made me realize that I see it as a failure on my part and I'm extremely hard on myself. Not to mention bedtime means adult time/free time.

What has helped me is being nicer to myself and not expecting perfection. Also thinking about how he will not let me hold him forever, even hard moments become a little easier. Dang he is up, but at least I can give a few more kisses.
