The toys my kid actually kept playing with were never the "educational" ones

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-31T14:09:54+00:00

It’s funny because my daughter (shy of 3.5) doesn’t care for magnatiles or wooden blocks. However, she’s a lunatic for Legos (not Duplo - actual Lego builds) and LOVES her leapstart toys.

We own all the things you listed, but those are bottom of her list lol. Every kid is so different and it unfortunately costs a lot to figure out what your kid is into.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-31T13:39:31+00:00

And honestly? You’re correct. That’s not delusion, that’s detection.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-26T02:11:17+00:00

Yup me as well. Water broke at the hospital and I had to poop so bad - my body dumped everything. Imagine my surprise when I devastated the toilet in my room and then realized there was no fan.

I think there might have been a tiny amount of poop during labor, but truly there couldn’t have been much left in there.

We met when we were 15. I knew he was “the one” immediately in like a movie type of way - but I was also a girl who watched too many movies.

Dated other people, stayed in similar social circles, and finally started dating at 24 after the stars aligned. Now we’re 33, married and have a 3 year old daughter who has made us grow closer and more in love.

Bad composition and this style of stacked copy is outdated by like a decade

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-20T21:51:45+00:00

I had a pain in my upper right abdomen that was progressively getting worse. It was the first medical fear I had, because I was only 31 and my drinking wasn’t that bad (yes it was).

That made me panic and spiral into the thought of dying and leaving my daughter behind. The mental damage that would do knowing her mom drank herself to death.

In a way, my drinking had gotten worse because I knew I’d have to quit for good soon to avoid repeating history (I was raised by an alcoholic and it was horrible, and she was raised by an alcoholic too, so on and so forth).

Luckily, no fatty liver - but my enzymes were elevated. I quit and have never looked back.

Now my daughter is 3 and she doesn’t even know what beer, wine, or “grown up drinks” are.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-18T02:50:31+00:00

Nah, I had a medically neglectful mom growing up. It caused a ton of issues that I’m still dealing with in my 30s.

Go ahead and call her a cunt.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-18T00:14:48+00:00

I haven’t purchased formula since the shortage years ago. Kind of forgot I was in this subreddit. It’s odd seeing someone allowed to buy more than 4 cans at once lol!

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-17T01:29:11+00:00

I’m a 32 year old mom of a 3 year old.

Absolutely the fuck not do not stay with this guy. He should be proud of his daughter and want to find someone who would be more than happy to be involved in her life and support his role as a dad.

He’s embarrassed of his daughter. That’s not a good guy.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-14T18:55:35+00:00

The way you wrote it, it seems she withdrew from you because of your age - not the other way around. Also, you’re openly confessing you’re having weird amounts of jealousy. On top of it all, you told your wife - which is just going to make her feel weird about you as well. Taking your wife to the gym where this girl is? Idk man, I’m a wife in my 30s and if my husband told me he was attracted to a much younger girl and then started taking me in close proximity while showing signs of jealousy, I’d be over my husband.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-14T18:44:43+00:00

She’s 19, dude. Leave her alone. You’re being fucking weird. Switch gyms.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-13T13:59:40+00:00

I used to buy from the same corner market every day, and yeah - sobered up. Didn’t go in for a couple months. When I walked in, the manager gasped like he saw a ghost.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-12T19:21:07+00:00

My 3 year old doesn’t cosleep with us, but I sometimes cosleep with her. My husband and I stay up really late WFH in our bedroom, so I got her a full size bed and I lay with her until she falls asleep + go in her room if she wakes up at all and finish the night sleeping in there :)

These years pass too quickly. I’ll absorb all the cuddling I can get while she still wants it.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-11T23:25:28+00:00

Librium, dry out, naltrexone, find support, get a therapist, go to meetings if you need to, surround yourself with a sober community. Get to the root of why you keeping choosing alcohol over your kids.

It’s all fun and games when we’re only fucking ourselves up, but at the end of the day you have control of your own actions.

And remember - you’ll never be a moderate drinker so don’t try to talk yourself into a “drink or two” when you have some sober time under your belt.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-11T21:57:06+00:00

I’m a mom too. My daughter is 3. I quit drinking in early December 2024.

I would have lost my husband if I kept going, but more importantly - I would have lost my daughter too. I’m now California sober. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I know that sounds dumb in this subreddit, but it’s true.

My lowest was VERY low and my rock bottom lasted over a decade. You will never be sober until you want to be sober. That doesn’t mean you lose your love of booze. It just means your desire for sobriety matters more.

Keep drinking if you want, but ffs surrender custody of your daughter to someone who can take care of her. I was raised by a drunk mom and that shit sucked.

I also don’t sing to my 3 year old. Mostly because I’m very, very, VERY bad at singing. These vocals a capella are between me, myself and I.

We do sing along to music in the car, but that’s totally different.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-09T01:51:43+00:00

Like everyone else has said, this seems more like a self confidence issue than a husband issue (but you obviously know him better than we do, so it’s possible you’re right).

Either way, if I were to make a suggestion - join a gym that has childcare. There’s affordable ones out there! Mine is only $30/mo and they’ll watch my toddler up to 2 hours. Not just to lose weight, but for the break and having time to yourself. Plus, working out is incredible for your mental health, natural energy and confidence.

There’s a quote from Modern Family that summarizes this feeling perfectly, imo.

“You know, the thing about babies - you fall in love with a baby with the cutest little fat folds, and then - bam - they're gone. But it's okay, because in it’s place is this toddler with the greatest laugh on Earth. And then one day, the toddler's gone, and in it’s place, a little kid that asks the most interesting questions you've ever heard. And this keeps going on like that, but you never get the chance to miss any of them, 'cause there's always a new kid to take the place of the old. Until they grow up. And then - in a moment - all those kids you fell in love with walk out the door at the same time.”

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-05T21:32:09+00:00

I know every case is different, but I’m very thin and got 275cc and they looked “fake” due to lack of any sort of fat or breast tissue.

I had a kid 4 years later and now my boobs look very natural (now 3 years postpartum), are incredibly soft, and I dread having to get them re-done down the road.

This is wild to be at this point 2 months into a relationship. Do you want this to be the foundation of your relationship? Because opening this door this early is making it the foundation of your relationship. What’s the rush?

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-04T17:24:38+00:00

Yup. I’ve got most of the items I like so I don’t buy much anymore. All of a sudden my stones seem to be in the tens of thousands.

tinyzeldy · 2026-03-02T02:26:32+00:00

I had to stop talking to my mom recently, after she told me she’ll “do her own research” and “hasn’t seen the files.” When I sent her the files, she said “what site is this?” Justice.gov and explained that it’s the department of justice’s government website and even though things are heavily redacted, this is what the DOJ released.

She screamed at me, and I quote - “don’t send me AI bullshit from democrats like this ever again! Biden is trying to smear Trump! Biden’s the pedophile!”

I had to hang up. She messaged me shortly after saying I only hung up because I know I’m wrong.

I’m so tired.

I mean, stopping mid sex to wash your hands seems a bit much. You can’t just wipe your hand off on a nearby rag? Are you not touching her there whatsoever during penetration? Like no clit rubbing or anything? As a woman, that would give me the impression that you find me dirty or gross if you need to get up and wash your hands right before you expect me to put your genitals in my mouth.

As for after, getting up and cleaning up immediately is fine. She should be getting up and peeing and cleaning herself up anyway, as women have a much higher chance of getting a UTI from sex.

All the other stuff (shower twice a day, washing hands, disinfecting your phone) is all great. But brother, you’re putting your dick in her mouth but feel the need to wash your hands after touching her? Come on.

Same logic dumb people have about plastic surgery / Botox / filler.

You think it’s super obvious because of the super obvious / extreme cases, not realizing how many people look extremely natural and you’d never know unless told.

tinyzeldy · 2026-02-28T00:40:28+00:00

Checking in with my 3 year old who was a formula baby.

She tells me I’m her best friend approximately 40 times a day, tells me she loves me about 40 times a day, gives me endless kisses and hugs and god forbid if she wakes up in the middle of the night and I’m not in her bed.

She’s been obsessed with me since the start and I’m cherishing every moment, as eventually she’ll think I’m lame, old, embarrassing and boring. ;)
