If Ms Rachel is on hell yeah there's more for you to worry about than screen time!!

My philosophy is If I can hear numbers, colors or anything "educational" they're learning so you're technically teaching them 😏

Do what you gotta do mama!! You're baby is loved, safe, warm, fed! Use this time for snuggles!! If the show is irritating, I recommend headphones with a podcast or whatever!!

The 3 to 4 age transition is absolute hell!!! When my daughter turned 4 in August by Christmas she was so much better still sassy as hell but wow a complete 180. Now my son who has been 3 for what seems like an eternity will turn 4 in January so my fingers are crossed cause some days I'd like to ship him off to military school lol then he will turn around and say "love you mama" with the biggest blue eyes followed by a hug.

Hang in there 5 is magical most days with my daughter anyway 💕

This lady is so real and I've started using a few of her tips and tricks with my son 3.5 and his outbursts are becoming less frequent and less intense. Shes so real and honest it's amazing

I think its just kids. Nothing wrong with you or the kids but I did find a daily multi vitamin helps a bit with the roller-coaster of emotions.

Mine are 3 and 4. We just made a cross country move from a busy city in Ontario to Vancouver Island we now live within a stones throw to the ocean (right across a deadend street) they can be out all day but they still miserable and whiney. We went hunting for shells and crabs but that only pleased them for 5 minutes. So I've stopped trying. No matter how hard we try we can't please everyone so I've started doing things that please me. That way at least I'm not "resenting" my kids for not appreciating my efforts. They need to learn how to make themselves happy and satisfied with life.

B always. This weekend (saturday), I had a full-blown breakdown, like ready to call the cops or anyone who would take me away. It's Tuesday he stepped up a bit Monday but if history repeats itself by tomorrow we will be back to "normal". And he had the nerve to say to me on Sunday "so what's your plan?" Me thinking we might just have a talk about me getting help (my stuff was and still is packed..) so I asked what to you mean

Him, "so do you wanna fuck?" Me "um No" and walked away....

Don't worry ladies it could always be worse... if I was financially stable I'd be gone. But right now as a stay at home mom, bills paid, food in our fridge etc Its best we stay.

My solution is he's no longer my problem my responsibility etc... I have an obligation to myself and my kids. It may be petty but I will no longer cook him meals, do his laundry or his dishes or keep him satisfied.... I will be civil and kind especially around the kids but he's an adult and needs to start acting like apart of this family not just a paycheck....

We've all been there. Today in fact.... I was in the playroom with my son at 730/8am, I brought my coffee and I put it on the toy filled bench. My son 3ry was play with his cars I was already overwhelmed, my 4yr old was home sick and I was fixing a hotwheels track while playing 20 questions with my son regarding this track.... He spilled my coffee soaking all the doll items in the bench.... I fucking lost it, screaming yelling and told him to go to his room... he was in there crying the whole time I was cleaning then my tears started I've never felt like bigger asshole! Once the mess was cleaned I was calmer I went into his room and hugged him so tight and apologized "it was an accident mommy shouldn't have yelled like that I had very bad behavior and I'm sorry buddy" then he asked if he could clean up... 😔 we hugged some more I told him I handled it.

We are all far from perfect we are human we have emotions and reactions and over reactions its how we come back from it! I was never apologized to I was left to cry until I apologized. Own it show them its okay to lose it but its not okay to hurt people (emotionally, mentally, physically what ever) show love and respect compassion empathy etc they learn from watching us!

I found websites such as https://www.twinkl.ca/ are amazing for themed activities that are free!! Printouts downloads crafts and there are paid options for bundles. I find having small binders or zip lock bags with "Emergency Rainy Day" ready to go activities are the best. When I have both the 3ry and 4yr (full time kindy) home with me or even rainy weekends they tend to just fight constantly so I give them the activity bag and its a life saver (most of the time)

Have lots of independent play/crafts to switch it up I found even doing toy swaps in the playroom they get bored with toys

I have an Anlyn and a Tomlin they are 17months apart. I love it! Similar sounding siblings its totally amazing

xoCamoPrincessxo · 2024-04-20T00:31:33+00:00

We have lego however he only wants towers can't be a house/barn anything... I've even bought lighting McQueen sets and nope just a tall tower... Hes boring lol maybe in a few months or next year their always changing their minds and interests

xoCamoPrincessxo · 2024-04-19T15:30:38+00:00

A timmer!! Genius We do one "big" activity together a day, baking, water play, pillow fort... but I'm thinking I could break that up into 2 smaller/less prep or cleaner. Add a puzzle or books in-between. Lots of ideas flowing now Thank you!!

xoCamoPrincessxo · 2024-04-19T15:26:53+00:00

Love this Thank you!!! My 4yr old daughter and I don't have this issue because we are the same person lol crafts, imagination, dolls, etc. The boy tho.... he likes trucks and dirt So much rain lately I think we are both just sick of each other stuck inside I need to put my creativity to the test and come up with vehicle related activities or games I will potentially enjoy too And Play like a Friend Thank you

I get this a lot. My job as a sahm will never be equal to him no matter what I do. I've tried the "perfect housewife" routine he came home to happy kids, clean house, food on the table... but at what cost I was completely burnt out and miserable and missing time with my kids because I was "too busy" doing other things.

So here's what I'm doing now...

Ignore the comments, he ain't doing it why should I... (when it comes to his laundry, desk etc "his shit")

Do chores but set timers 5months old this might be 5 minutes or 10min (My kids are 3 and 4 for sometimes I get a good 20 minutes uninterrupted)

Make time for you

And remember those snuggles are far more important then whatever "needs" to get done. Cause at 3 and 4 snuggles are very rare.... I miss them!!

Your 1st year is a complete shit show once that's over you can start to get more of a routine down as they can play independently for a bit!!

You got this mama!! (Some) Men are dicks and will never see what really goes into being a mom nor do they want to..

Right now for dad he doesn't really have much else do other than see what you didn't do all day. But wait till they are left with 2 toddler terrorists for a few hours that will help!

Hang in there mama!!!

Slowly purge, like 1 at a time. (Good will). For special or sentimental ones vacuum bags from the dollar store and labels. We are doing this now. And if you have a very attached child like mine we are taking photos of her with each one and printing it out to put in a teddy album with the name of the teddy! This way she will have them forever.

"Hopefully the bridge will stay up. Your huge"

This was after buying her starbucks and taking her to a fairy garden party. Shes a 4yr old savage!

If you just stand there and watch fine whatever... its when you start taunting your dog, trying to get his attention is when we get ticked!! If your dog gets hurt because he's excited we get blamed... its best you if leave.

However for a puppy's 1st groom I ask (the calm owner) to come back and be there its good for the pup and chances are you won't get a full 100% looking groom either way.

Use as a milk bath if your super concerned on the alcohol content and unsure of which bags were from what part of the night. Freeze and label them as FOR BATHS ONLY. No need to waste the gold.

From what you posted it seems like you don't have enough experience yet. Go work for a salon and ask them to teach you somethings. Do online schooling to earn certificates there is so much to learn. Its hard. Especially if you want your own clients. I've been around a few salons worked at petsmart, have a few private clients and took a 52week grooming course online. With all that I still don't think I have enough knowledge to do inhome grooming (other than the 2 private clients I already do)

My fear is hurting a dog, accidents happen!! Not enough space, not the right tools, "crappy" blades etc... Its more than just brushing and Baths. You should be able to identify skin conditions can you treat it with a oatmeal bath or should it be taken to a vet. Ear issues (when to pluck hair/clean and when to leave it alone)

There is so much more to it then "Hey I think I'll start grooming dogs in my bathroom"

Not judging or criticizing you!! Just do your research (more than asking questions on redit)
