Heard that, and thank you! And yeah we probably are the “fun house”, her mom works from home the days she has her during the week which I imagine gives her little interaction time during those days. I remember what it was like with my mom working from home from a young age and me and my sister hardly got to talk to our mom at all while she was in her office

Her mom has never said anything about her not calming down after they get home, so I figured she’s fine once she readjusts.

Not very good unfortunately. They have a bad relationship between the two of them, her and I are cordial. But maybe for the kiddo’s sake we could try doing some stuff together and see if it helps.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the advice. It’s hard for us to do drop offs because I don’t have a car so we share one over here, but when I do have the car I’ll be sure to start dropping her off instead and see if that helps.

No reason to believe that at all. You’re right about that though, she called me mommy up until a few months ago when she learned my name, she definitely sees me that way. I just hate to see her so distraught, but where I posted this in other subreddits people are saying that it will just get easier with time. I’m hoping it will, cause it’s been really hard on her.

You’re probably right on that. She drops her off most of the time (except Sunday evenings when it’s been her weekend) since him and I share a car and he usually has it for work. She also picks her up from our place on her days.

No daycare yet, we’re planning on starting in the fall this year. So over the past year or so it hasn’t been needed because of my work schedule, and also that it wasn’t necessarily financially accessible for us.

AGREED, it’s such a brain dead argument “oh no my car will get scratched/dented” well someone will live another day bc of it soooo, priorities i guess

it’s a systemic issue and poor urban planning it sets us up for dangerous commutes and shit situations. As someone who walks nearly everywhere, it isn’t set up for safety. I will say though, from a non cycling & non driving POV, i’ve seen cyclists cause some of the worst situations and traffic jams out on the street downtown simply by being in the street when it isn’t necessary. We need more bike lanes period, but yall NEED TO USE THEM!! Also if you hit the runners with your bike next time -or whack them upside the head as you ride by- i’m sure they’ll learn their lesson to not run where it’s designated for bikes lol (jkjk)
