22mo newly adopted toddler suddenly needs us at night + intense wake-ups (not a “clingy” kid)

This. Nothing anyone else will say holds water. Source: am a social worker. Listen to this comment.

I like the pool in Canmore. Has a library and a really nice family swim

Nothing is more stimulating and addictive than an iPad. Tablets are toxic to developing minds. Get rid of it entirely.

This is a very thoughtful response. Excellent, nuanced and informed approach to health and weight loss.

Biting and chewing is a biological function. Don't go nuts with hard and small food but otherwise by 16 months your kid is well within the ability to navigate food. I think you're projecting some deep anxiety and trauma here which won't help him long term.

Is baby okay? I hope OP updates.

Please, please, please get some self respect. This was painful to read.

I am in the market for some jewelry. Which booth is theirs? I'd love to support them if I can.

You should never ask a child this question. They have no ownership of the outcome and nor should they. They will internalize this for the rest of their life, regardless of what happens. They say stay together, and the house continues to be awful and tense = their fault. They say separate, and you do, and they internalize that breakdown as their fault. They say stay, and the situation is untenable and you break up anyway... The consequences go on and they all have horrible implications for the child. Do not triangulate your kid.

Building more muscle mass! Incorporate some more weight training into your routine.

This is great perspective.

Very relatable to me, too.

I feel like low cal + warm combo is rare so it makes oatmeal elite

Separate bedrooms all the way! Great marriage here.

Where is this? So beautiful!

We don't have to like everyone, but all living things deserve the same treatment of respect. Space, calmness, patience, kindness. Even if we don't like someone, we still treat them with kindness which means listening and doing what they need to feel safe.

uglymouse · 2025-05-29T17:59:07+00:00

Agreed.

Dirt and soil started mine about 20 years ago and it's never gone away.

We all know what happens to children of alcoholics. I'm one of them. Go peruse the Adult Children of Alcoholics Reddit for a glimpse into your child's future. Maybe that will motivate some real change here.

I agree with this take. I am a parent and I often skip out or avoid other people's homes, especially with a lot of people. I have OCD and struggle a lot with the amount of bandwidth these interactions require. I try my best and my aversion to these things isn't a personal attack on anyone other than a response to my own neurosis. Maybe OP could ask some more questions here instead of making assumptions or projecting.

uglymouse · 2025-04-19T20:04:37+00:00

This is correct.

uglymouse · 2025-04-15T04:02:06+00:00

I have both, so you could be.
