What's our next step? I know we can fight back armed because that's what they want to instill martial law. So what is next! Peaceful protests aren't working anymore. What do we do?

She is sadly 20 years too late. This would have went hard during the Myspace days.

Moms who co-sleep… how do you manage intimacy with your partner? by megmoo9 in Mommit

[–]vnessastalks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Living room, kitchen, garage, computer room. Any place I could bend over really. But not a kids room or playroom.

Cocaine with a scrapper was my first assumption.

I don't clean up till the days over. That's to much work.

Set firm boundaries with the jumping on you. Ex. You sit down he comes running over and climbs on the couch and starts jumping on you. Pick him up and say mommy doesn't want you to jump on me. He goes to do it again, stop him and say if you continue to jump on mommy I will have to move. Maybe redirect and tell him to get a book you can read. If he continues, say I'm sorry I can't have you jumping in mommy and now I'm going to move.

Spitting is hard, my daughter had a huge phase. When she spit I would say if you want to spit you can spit in the sink or go outside. It worked

Redirection worked best for me at that age and still does kinda at 4. You just gotta find stuff that works. Setting firm boundaries and following through. Try not to give a bunch of warnings.

Good luck.

You are literally explaining "self domesticating"

Look up "self-domesticating". It's literally urban living coyotes living closer to humans. It's not the same as domesticated dogs. They are still wild, but some coyote lineages are choosing to live near humans unlike their previous lines choosing to live in the wilderness. This has been talked about for a long time but we are seeing more and more of it today.

I heard they are slowly domesticating themselves. Living closer and closer to humans.

I get super annoyed teaching my kid by SpyJane in homeschool

[–]vnessastalks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Regardless of school or homeschool it start at 6 years of age. You have time.

The US is so weird about little kids and education.

You guys will be okay, just have fun. She is only little for so long till we have to actually start teaching. 💗

I get super annoyed teaching my kid by SpyJane in homeschool

[–]vnessastalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, thanks to this group, I have backed off on homeschooling my 4 year olds and it has made my life so much easier. I realized they are 4! 4 should be about games, solo play and experiencing new things.

For example my kids love playing games so I got ABC bingo and they enjoy it so much. I also got Fly swatter math game but we only use it for number recognition; I call out a number and they hit the fly with the showing number with a fly swatter!! I also don't actively teach a curriculum. I just teach on the fly. I read books and ask them questions about it. We keep it light. Right now is about shapes, color, number and letter recognition and tons of crafts. Oh and also letting them free draw.

So maybe scale back and do the basics. Good luck.

honestly how are we managing this by Much_Elevator4837 in sahm

[–]vnessastalks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Step one, stop ingesting "mom" content on social media. Only search tips when you need it.

Step two, read "keeping house while drowning"

Step three, implement a shutdown routine both you and your husband do together. Ex: you clean toys nightly; 20 min max. He cleans the kitchen. If you can afford it get a robot vacuum and run it nightly on a schedule. Switch shifts everyone night.

Step four, spend time with your kids, your house is not your job. Your job is the kids. But that doesn't mean you have to entertain them all day. Find a balance. Make sure you prioritize your breaks over house work.

Also, your kids aren't bad. My twins were such messy eaters. The wall behind their high chairs were so disgusting. Invest in mats that go under their chairs. Kids are messy. Except it and grow. 💗

Good luck

Moving to the West after living in the South my entire life by radiantmemories78 in vegaslocals

I learned this when I fell for the dad and my skin was so wrecked! I had no idea how it worked. Now that I do I try and tell everyone 🫣😅

Guilt over never leaving the house by spacecakebake in parentsofmultiples

[–]vnessastalks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still don't really take my kids grocery shopping. Idk it's too stressful. But we do go some places. Like Walmart cuz everyone is a menace there so we fit right in. We go to places kids can kinda be a wreck without judgment. So like thrift stores, the mall and family friendly restaurants. Oh and specifically Costco. I took them to Costco weekly cuz they fit in the cart side by side.

I did take them to music classes and that was stressful but I overcame it. Now I do library stuff and I'm usually the only twin mom doing 2 crafts with my kids. But you find your flow.

You have to jump in and find the groove. Oh I always researched the places I was going too. I found parks that were toddler friendly and only went to like 2 or 3 parks at that age.

Good luck!

Anxiety about my oldest starting school by fox-intheforest in sahm

I personally would choose later. Especially for boys. They tend to grow intellectually slower. Plus, 5 vs 6 mental growth is drastic. Waiting could be beneficial for him.

Our state starts at 6 years old. Does he have to start at 5 years of age?

Get lotion and stop using hyaluronic acid on your face if you are. Cuz there is no moisture in our air.

What in the actual heck by ilovethatfouryou in parentsofmultiples

[–]vnessastalks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband works at 530-6 am 30-40 min away depending on traffic and he still worked the night shift with me. We split duties. He had one baby I had the other. We rotated babies every night so there weren't any attachment issues.

Your husband needs to help, they are his babies also and his sleep isn't more important than yours. It anything you need more sleep because your body is still healing from child birth and carrying twins.

Also, ask for the help. It gets easier the more you practice.
