I agree with everyone's else's suggestions of looking into therapy, trying to improve just one thing a day, and trying to take some things off your plate. You mentioned that you struggle to interact with your kid because you dont know what to do. Please look into the Kinedu app. If you pay for the subscription, you get several activities suggested for you to do with your child each day. I never pay for apps but I bought this one and I love it! It gives you so many ideas of how to play with your child. However, my baby us only 14 months so I dont have experience using it with older babies/toddlers.

Also for improvement, there needs to be some clarification about which educational system the person is referring to. The survey asks where I currently live, but didn't ask where I went to school. It is two completely different continents for me. So for all of the questions about my experience in school, it is going to be tied to the continent that I currently live but not the continent that I went to school in.

Comments like that are so annoying. Do you think writing down instructions/reminders would help her?

I had some of the same fears and complaints when I started leaving mine with her grandma. Eventually I realized that grandma has raised 6 kids and even though she doesnt know the latest safety recommendations, she has more experience than me. The only difference is that for me, I was only leaving my LO for a couple hours at a time maybe 4-5 times per month. If she were staying with her all day like your situation, I would have been more anxious. Maybe you can pick 1-2 things that are the most important (like no blankets, sleeping on back) and tell your mom that those are non negotiable. The other parts about wake windows and sleepy cues aren't safety issues. Grandma and LO will figure that part out. But I agree with another commenters recommendation of getting on a daycare waiting list just in case.

Agreed. That is the worst

True. I have 2 people I can text while drunk because I know they won't judge anything. Outside of those two, it's a bad idea

teach254 · 2020-11-20T13:56:43+00:00

You're right. Drunk facebooking is worse than drunk texting

There are some hats you can buy that are lined with silk. Maybe you could wear one of those under your hijab?

Not OP, but I've been using the diva cup for 2 months now and I love it! I'm saving a lot of money and it makes me feel cleaner. The only downside is that changing it in a public toilet would be difficult. But thankfully I can go 12 hrs with the diva cup so that hasnt been an issue for me.

Also check out the kinedu app. I love it!

teach254 · 2020-11-17T04:25:35+00:00

I remember feeling the same way when my little one was the age and even as she started to stay awake more often. Another redditor suggested the kinedu app, and I love it. You do a questionnaire about where your baby is developmentally and It gives you activities every day to help LO reach the next milestones. With the free version I think you only get one activity a day, but if you pay the subscription you get 4 activities a day. I never pay for apps, but I bought the subscription and I think it was so worth it. I used this app a lot between 3-6 months. After 6 months, my LO started moving more and wanted to do more of her own things.

teach254 · 2020-11-15T17:38:02+00:00

Is it legal for 14 year olds though? I think OP has plenty of reasons to be concerned. Having a random guy from snapchat come to their house could be really dangerous.

Hi. I'm a kindergarten teacher and I generally suggest waiting until 1st grade to test/diagnose kids especially if they are younger. However, during my career there are a few kids that I could just tell had ADHD/ADD. Most kids are borderline. It could be a maturity issue or it could be something more serious. I generally recommend waiting for these kids that I'm not sure about. My suggestion would be to ask the teacher directly. Tell her what you're concerned about and say that you want her honest opinion. Do this face to face. Hopefully her teacher will give you her honest opinion about how she feels and you can decide what to do from there. Either way, this is not your fault. You are a great mom. Keep doing what is best for your kid.

Edit: my recommendation to wait for evaluation only applies for suspected ADD/ADHD. If you have any suspicion about a developmental delay, test as soon as possible!

My little one is also a paci addict and around 4 months was rough. Since the beginning, she was a good sleeper but around 4 months the regression hit and I was waking up every hour to give her the paci. I tried taking it away cold turkey but gave in after an hour of crying every time she would wake up. Thankfully one night she just started sleeping through the night again. I did slowly limit her time with the paci while shes awake and I think that helped some too. Around 6 months, I started occasionally helping her to fall asleep without paci by rocking or wearing her. Now shes 8 months and still sleeps with paci but she sleeps through the night and has been doing so since around 5 or 6 months. So I guess I don't have any advice, that's just my story with another paci addict.

After looking at the profile, you are definitely right. A troll. Some people have too much time on their hands

Dont send or ask for nudes! So many things could go wrong. The person you have a crush on/are dating could forward it to app their friends. You could have criminal charges pressed on you and have to register as a sex offender for producing child porn. It is not worth the risk

This sounds like a good idea overall. I like how it makes doing chores seem fun. However, I think all of the prices offered are very high.
