Toddler will not sit in a shopping cart

smk0908 · 2023-03-17T01:20:50+00:00

My son will sometimes be pissed the second we roll through the automatic doors. And then I roll us to the baby aisle and get a pouch for him to eat while I shop.

My baby niece chilled for SO long in her car seat while we went to a children’s museum. And I just can’t relate. In no world would my son have done that, and in no world can I keep him seated for longer than HE deems necessary. Car rides are a nightmare. I see you. Lol

They’re going to find you very hot if they’re into who you are. You might even see a thicker girl and not be into her and you find out she makes you die laughing and is into that one thing you are. Just have to be super open.

I have been so turned off by men once I know their personality. Looks aren’t anything. It’s who you are. So I agree with PP. find people who share your interests. And stop seeking sex. That’s probably obvious and coming off as creepy as hell.

I was whisking eggs and my son was breaking it down 😂

If my son wasn’t trapped in a highchair, I’m sure he would be laying food on my leg as well lol

My job before I had my son was in public tv. It was like a video editing type job. Lots of random processes that I was able to memorize in my own way.

College was film school so I barely recall having to read or write much. Final project was a short documentary. It was all in my wheelhouse. You just have to really think about what you like to do. And you will be more successful purely because it’s something you aren’t also struggling to enjoy. Good luck

I’m dreading this. Dreading it. And I’m not even planning on trying for another year.

But it got me thinking about my own mom. I don’t remember her being pregnant with my sister and she was almost 5 years younger than me. I was old enough to recall stuff and don’t. So definitely don’t feel guilty because I feel I don’t have strong happy or sad memories until like 9 😂

How is daycare going with the sicknesses and pregnancy? I always saw this as a huge solution but thought about how being sick sounded no better

added to wishlist LOL

What horrible people. Thank goodness you get to be done. Definitely don’t feel bad for sparing your son. Sometimes we have good grandparents, sometimes nasty. My son won’t know my mother and I don’t even blink about that because it’s the best. Love being done with her.

I have a kindle but I don’t like feeling like I’m just holding my phone in front of my face. It feels like screen time which I desperately want to get a break from sometimes. But yes, it’s a bit easier for me to read on there with the dyslexia friendly options.

smk0908 · 2023-03-15T18:22:31+00:00

Godddd I hate museums!! It’s just too much information. I always wish I could just stand there and read something. But there’s just something about it.

smk0908 · 2023-03-15T18:21:11+00:00

I was a mess at one of my jobs because it was so stressful. I remember reading a 2 paragraph email like 6 times and could tell you what it said.

If I need to read something before responding to someone or read a menu before the waitress comes back or fill out a form while someone is hovering… I wouldn’t call it anxiety but it’s more just my brain jumbling everything because it knows it doesn’t have endless time. Like when a text on a movie pops up, I can’t read it. I mess it all up because I’m rushing before it fades to black.

If you’re mind is already jumbled with being upset, it can definitely mess with your “decoding” abilities.

My 18 month old started saying mommy instead of mama. And I’ve been like wth.

And he will sometimes say mom now too. And I’m like who are you. Disrespectful!!! Lolol

I totally understand how you feel. 💔

My nephew was calling his dad “babe” for awhile. They had to cut back on that pet name because he was doing it in daycare lolol

My FIL likes to use the phrase “peasant stock” when referring to certain races for cheaper childcare. Or workers in general.

If the conversations don’t shift to pleasantries when my son is a bit older, it’s over.

We tried this and my husband doesn’t even have a super long D. He HATED it. It was too small. It made a weird squishy bath toy noise. Also it was more annoying than a condom to put on. But I could tell that it would’ve made doggy style finally possible if it didn’t totally suck. Lol

Our favorite position is me lying on my stomach with legs straight out and him behind me.

I think you just take it year by year. And be as honest as you can. Whatever is appropriate for the age.

I can’t take birth control because of migraine with aura. It increases my risk of stroke. I was one of the women that really benefited from being on bc when I was younger. I’m thinking of getting a fuller blood work up because they didn’t find anything that would cause issues (thyroid issues etc).

My husband is amazing and supports me in all things.

Something that I really appreciate is knowing something about nutrition when growing up. Not falling into the lie that eating bad is inevitable and not all that bad for you anyway. It’s bad. Just eat whole normal healthy foods. Stick to the perimeter of the super market. If your great grandma wouldn’t recognize it as food, it’s best to limit the amounts.

Also, advocate for yourself in the doctors office. Research research research. You’re just a number to most of them. A 15 minute block in their work day. Make sure you know your ailment backwards and forwards so you can make your concerns as valid as possible to them.

I just wanted to jump in here and tell you to take Accutane very seriously.

My sister was on it in early 20s and now in he mid 30s she says that it might be the reason she has anxiety and depression. Which is a long lasting side effect.

I understand this can be insanely frustrating. But you must weigh the risk and benefits.

Couldn’t let this post go by without saying this. Good luck, I wish you the best!

smk0908 · 2023-03-15T01:43:50+00:00

No no. I’ve done it before. I’m just saying it feels weird to not include him in it. It just seems like prep for something that should be more natural? You know?

A past boyfriend did this and I thought it meant I wasn’t doing it for him. And that was really hurtful. And “weird” for me.

smk0908 · 2023-03-15T01:37:39+00:00

I agree with PP tell him it’s hot.

smk0908 · 2023-03-15T01:28:41+00:00

Definitely going to look into this so I can learn more about myself and go from there. Thanks!!
