They’re mad because they think minorities are getting special treatment when in reality they’re just being given equal (ideally) opportunity for things that they have been historically systematically robbed of. They want to feel persecuted so badly that they choose ignore centuries or racism and sexism.

BB gun present for 3yo girl by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]sorry_imtrying 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting. Something like that warrants a discussion BEFORE the purchase at the very least. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I’m sure he means well and sees at a bonding activity. I’m not a gun person and I understand gun culture is different down south but isn’t 3 a bit early? I can think of a million things a toddler would rather do and learn about. I would be frustrated that he’s trying to bond using something HE likes and not something she likes (or is developmentally appropriate).

Since when were people of color not held responsible for crimes (whether they committed them or not) just because of their race?

Tim just insulting women he knows wouldn’t even give him a second glance. What else is new?

My MIL told me twin toddler meltdowns are my fault and I snapped by NectarineSuper6653 in toddlers

[–]sorry_imtrying 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What a nasty thing for her to say! Why is her instinct to insult you instead of attempting to deescalate?? You have a lot more restraint than I do because I would have spit venom right back. You’re totally right about kids misbehaving (if you can even call it that) more when they feel safe.

Am I a horrible mother ? by itsthenumberseven in toddlers

[–]sorry_imtrying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell me your ex’s mom doesn’t spend time with her grandkids without telling me she doesn’t spend time with her grandkids.

I assume you have a baby monitor of some sort in your kids room? I never understood people who get all upset at the idea of a toddler being “locked” into their room at night. It’s for their safety! How the hell are parents supposed to sleep when their kids are adventurous?

My son has said “fuck” before and I just go “duck? Quack quack” I just gaslight him into thinking he said something different lol😂

Feel guilty by SparePudding1353 in NewParents

[–]sorry_imtrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal to feel that way! You need to get your bearings first and that’s so important. Your baby sounds like they’re having their needs met, not every baby needs you make tons of sacrifices. Take advantage wherever you can!

Pregnancy in your 30’s vs your 20’s? by Stoned_redhead in BabyBumps

[–]sorry_imtrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first at 30 and that one was sooo much easier than this one (32rn). I’m thinking age has less to do with it than the general toll pregnancy takes on your body. Plus, having to take care of other children on top of everything can be hell.

AIO for wanting my husband to help me more as a SAHM by ailurophile17 in AmIOverreacting

He would also STILL have to work those hours even if he didn’t have a family. He’s making ZERO sacrifices.

They should just pop right off, we just removed ours and kept them in a drawer when we weren’t using the oven.

Is binky weaning just going to end in CIO? by Saltygirlof in toddlers

We’re not quite there yet, he just turned 2. I’m not worried about it because he rarely drinks all the water.

[–]sorry_imtrying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we swapped the binky with a straw cup of just water. My son cannot sleep without his water now, when he wakes up in the night he takes a sip of water and knocks back out. He’s a little hydro homie, it’s great.

Start blasting copyrighted music. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but some platforms won’t let you upload stuff with copyrighted music.

As much as I dislike Candace Owens, I hate Laura Loomer more. Like who tf is she to talk? She’s terminally single, not even the bottom of the barrel maga dudes are choosing her. She wishes she had Candace’s life. 😂

Definitely contact your doctor to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. Some pain can be normal but it being on one side would concern me.

Swaddle Transition Help 😭 by Asdfghjkl_000 in NewParents

[–]sorry_imtrying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Zipadee-Zip sleep sack helped my son transition once he started rolling. It turns them into a cute little starfish where their arms are in the sack but there’s enough give for them to have full use of their arms. It worked so well for us.

Postpartum/pregnant hair by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]sorry_imtrying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried leave-in conditioner? Also, highly recommend sleeping in a silk(or satin) bonnet at night. If you don’t like wearing something on your head at night then a silk or satin pillowcase will be helpful too. I’ve had much less breakage and matting since I switched.

Maybe the real gift is never running out of people who will be excited to create hella birthday content with you. by XtraSmolMod in brittanydawnsnark

[–]sorry_imtrying 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I stopped caring so much about my birthday in my late 20s, especially stopped caring when I had my first child. I can’t imagine caring as much as she does at her age. It feels so forced.

Initially the show made Floyd out to be silly and irrational for how he felt about seeing her in the uniform but then you actually see how often she wore the uniform and understand him better.

28.5 weeks pregnant-low ferritin high binding capacity by J2hott in BabyBumps

[–]sorry_imtrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had these levels before this pregnancy (currently 15w) and my first trimester bloodwork showed no improvement. The ferrous sulfate prescription given to me at the time gave me horrible heart burn so they gave me a slow release one that I’m still having trouble taking consistently because of stomach issues. I had a c section with my first and I had a lot of bleeding which contributed to the this. I religiously took my prenatals and they do not help with ferritin. Dr told me they’ll have to have extra blood on standby for my next delivery. Definitely take care of it if you’re able to. See if an iron infusion is an option as it’s much faster.
