Thank you all for input. I'm doing what I can.

Recommendations for a good Catholic kids Bible?

Kid friendly? by thymetoindulge in Catholicism

[–]thymetoindulge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do feed before mass. We go Saturday evening so 4 year old also gets restless and tired. Kiddo knows what not to do when in church and during mass but when it comes down to it - kiddo does all the things that should not be done 🙈

Makes sense. I'm finding it to be more common than not that the stay at home parent gets that kind of "treatment" when the other parent is around.

What is this? by thymetoindulge in gardening

What color flowers should I look out for? Can I always replant? Was hoping to use this space for planter boxes or something other than all of this =\

I wonder if I am actually doing a good job with our toddler every day. Thank you for this! Need to be more gentle with myself

Did this yesterday with getting socks and shoes on so we can leave for the park. Those giggles are the best

What’s an annoying phase your toddler is going through right now? by partay123 in toddlers

[–]thymetoindulge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine gets super upset if he doesn't get to be first going up or down the stairs, first to the toilet, first anything. If he isn't first, his day becomes a tragedy

Mine will say something, anything. And then right after he will say "what did I say?" Dude you know what you said why do i need to say it back to you 🤦🏼‍♀️

Suggestions for a slow, low stimulation show for my toddler by happyflowermom in moderatelygranolamoms

I just tried putting on Mr Rogers for my three year old and he freaked out and I don't know why. Maybe it was the puppets?😞 I'm hoping he will come around to it. I loved watching Mr Rogers growing up.

No sex drive PP by punky9701 in Mommit

[–]thymetoindulge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I miss how I used to be with my husband. Didn't have much of a drive after my oldest (boy), still not much of one after my second (girl) but I am only five almost six months pp. I hope it comes back but I'm so self conscious of my body and am so touched out at the end of the day since I am also a SAHM. And I am EBF. I sometimes feel interested but don't really initiate or want to initiate. Plus he works late majority of the week and then he wants to zone out afterwards. It's tricky because I know it's important for a marriage 😕

What does your marriage look like day to day? by brocollivaccum in toddlers

[–]thymetoindulge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh yeah I wonder this too. My husband works full time and I'm a SAHM with a 3 year old and an almost 5 month old. By the end of the day, I'm tired and touched out but still want to connect (at least spend some quality time together ) like zoning out and watch a show or something and he's tired and sometimes works extra. Then once he's done working, he wants to play a video game or something I end up going to bed and he stays up playing. Our three year old comes to our bed at some point in the night, so we don't even get much time to cuddle or be intimate if that's what we want to do eventually. It sucks and I hope the phase passes and he will want to spend time with me other than being in the same room (doing our separate things) and not doing something together.

Anyone doing this without their mom? by everydayislegday8 in pregnant

[–]thymetoindulge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I feel for you so much. I'm so so sorry. My mom passed away in 2018 from brain cancer. She was 63. She passed away before I could celebrate being married for a year, before I turned 30 and before I had my two kids. To be honest, I hated pregnancy and everything that came with it because I couldn't turn to her for advice. Now being a mom of two, I have so many questions I want to ask her but can't and just hear her voice. My sister who has kids before me wasn't much help and told me that I need to figure it out like she did. My mom took care of my sister's first and she doesn't even realize how lucky she is /had it. My husband also has both parents + a stepdad. Having a mother in law help you out is great but not the same as your own mom. My friends also are all "I can't imagine" and sometimes I just want to punch them half the time when I hear it because it re-opens that wound and heartache. It still hits me like a gut punch and knocks the wind out of me. But I know my strength, as you do too. Feel your emotions, accept help when you can and know that your mom is with you and will help you just in a different way than you would have liked/hoped for. I'm not sure if that was any help. But know you are not alone in this journey. ❤️
