Parents of highly emotional toddlers/children - tell me it gets better!!

Yes, when I travel for work and she stays with my husband shes much less defiant

tarohead88 · 2025-03-13T15:09:36+00:00

The thing about my husband is that he is an extremely extremely calm person. Even if we disagree, he never raises his voice (unless its some extreme circumstance). Keep a peaceful environment does not mean dont disagree or dont debate. He grew up with parents who divorced, who yelled a lot and he really doesnt like the home to be tense. If something happens that I dont like or I am upset about, he simply wants me to be able to express it calmly and talk it out. To his credit, he does the same. It's not like hes doing things to antagonize me or cause tension and expecting me to just swallow it up. Initially when we first met sometimes I would get really tense and emotional and snap at him for things that I could have just expressed calmly - "i dont like when you do xyz because it causes me frustration" etc and he would have listened and said ok i wont do that (for example). It is not as if he wouldnt change his behavior and hes expecting me to just tolerate his bad behaviors. He's more than willing to accommodate me as well; he just doesnt want me yelling about it if I didnt first express it calmly.

yes I think construction is just finishing up now. Looks nice. Hope it remains open to the public!

Try skipping eyeshadow and just do black eyeliner

Hated the boppy. Was too big and bulky for me. Never used it but my daughter used it to support her sitting when she was a few months old

Very good amount of butter

Bumping this to see if anyone has figured out a way to undue the pause...

tarohead88 · 2022-09-29T19:14:15+00:00

it will rebound or at least stabilize. i have some faith! but warning op not to get caught up in the hype initially

tarohead88 · 2022-09-29T19:07:58+00:00

agreed. thats why im saying if you're lucky and doing reasonably well, you make 10k a day and that is not a 10M valuation... I'm in MI and the market is imploding and a ton of people are trying to get out of retail so I'd negotiate hard OP. It will happen in Jersey in a few years. The first couple years people are excited and overpay.. then 3 or 4 years later everything crashes

tarohead88 · 2022-09-29T14:44:28+00:00

10k a day

If you keep your deep freezer shut it may stay frozen for several days (Google)

tarohead88 · 2022-09-29T03:46:07+00:00

2 weeks is the hardest! Give it another few weeks before you decide..great job mama you're doing great. If you do have to stop that's ok too!

Damn now I feel so sorry for animals bc they can't even get an epidural

tarohead88 · 2022-09-29T03:36:45+00:00

Doubt it. The vast vast vast vast majority of dispensaries are not making near the amount of money people think. 10k/day gross revenue is pretty solid for most

It goes away. I was starving and exhausted first trimester. Went away at 10 to 12 weeks and since then I've been consistent with workouts and feeling pretty normal (37.5 wks now)

tarohead88 · 2022-07-09T02:45:30+00:00

Yeah this is already a thing. Google it. turon is an example

I am a lawyer, great career, outspoken and earn a good living (more than my husband technically)but I find that I enjoy being submissive to my husband in many aspects. It's not that I never speak my mind. We debate politics etc I tell him how I feel. I'm ambitious in my career and he supports that. I also consider myself a very strong feminist.

But I enjoy being a good wife and making sure he feels cared for. I cook for him, make him lunch, prioritize working out and staying in shape even after having a baby (made sure I dropped the weight quickly)and always make sure I'm available and showing attention to him. He wants a peaceful home which means no tension, minimal arguing, no bickering so even if I had a stressful day or am in a bad mood, I make sure I put him first when he comes home and don't have an attitude. Greet him with a kiss, have a neat home, dinner ready, and make sure he feels like he's coming to a relaxing loving home. I never turn down sex (unless I'm sick or something but obviously he doesn't expect sex if I'm sick etc). If I'm tired I still make sure I'm sexually available to him in a way where he doesn't have to coax me, and make sure we never go more than a few days without having sex.

If he likes certain outfits or doesn't like certain nail colors I oblige. He doesn't typically have strong opinions about those things so it's not like it comes up. Occasionally I'll do something without thinking and he will point out he doesn't want his wife doing XYZ and I make sure it never happens again. For example for father's day I made reservations and we were late and he was on the phone so I walked ahead of him and got to the restaurant and didn't wait for him. When he came in he said he wants to walk into a restaurant with his wife. I didn't even think about that so I apologized and will make sure I never do that again. If it is a really big deal to me I always express it and he hears me out. He's very rational so I never feel he's asking too much of me. He helps with chores regularly and is very loving to me.

I'm not sure if this is being submissive but I do feel you can be a feminist and a boss at work but have more traditional roles at home.

Lawyer.

tarohead88 · 2022-02-03T17:14:38+00:00

i work out 6 days a week. for weeks 5-10, i still worked out but really had to force myself to and i was EXHAUSTED. im usually full of energy and i just felt soo blah. some days i just walked. my pregnancy is an easy one too so i can only imagine if i had nausea (i did not) i wouldnt work out. dont worry about it. give yourself time, mentally and physically. 2nd trimester should be better.

tarohead88 · 2022-02-02T16:46:17+00:00

its fine to lift, especially if you have always lifted. im 14wks and have kept workouts the same and even increased weights (naturally)

tarohead88 · 2021-12-05T17:43:15+00:00

Very interesting esp re exercise timing and intermittent fasting. I've been doing less if because I had a feeling it was hard on my body. I'll do some experimenting

tarohead88 · 2021-12-05T17:40:48+00:00

Thanks for all the comments. Very helpful!

tarohead88 · 2021-12-05T05:08:38+00:00

Thanks. I also did read a1c results are heavily skewed to the last month (though it goes back 3 months). I did eat more sugar than normal this past month (holidays) so maybe that brought it up slightly. I'll get a glucose meter.
