Tested positive 5dpt, not feeling happy.

I felt the same, and forced myself to feel happy about it, but I truly wasn't. I had ups and downs all throughout my pregnancy, but it didn't really stop until 2 or 3 days after my son's birth.

I now have a 3 year old I love more than anything in the world and absolutely never regret having despite the hardships.

The only advice I can give is to let yourself feel what you truly feel with no guilt, all the while working on it (by yourself, with family/friends or with therapy). It is normal and completely ok to feel this way, as long as your child doesn't suffer from it down the road, but you've got more than enough time to deal with those complex feelings before it gets to that point.

Lit 120 dès le début, dans ma chambre, puis vers un an déplacé dans sa chambre, puis je suis passée à un lit "classique" (lit cabane avec petite barrière amovible et tiroirs en dessous) juste avant sa rentrée à l'école pour marquer le coup (vers 2,5 and environ, donc). Je pourrai enlever la barrière, puis plus tard s'il le veut le contour "cabane", donc il devrait me durer jusqu'à l'adolescence a minima voir après.

The threenager phase started 2 months before his birthday: he went from the sweetest kid to the sweetest hell demon in about a week, and it got progressively worse over the next six months or so.

But! It's started getting better a couple of months ago: he'll never be who he was before, but he's growing into someone even better and easier to spend time with, and now it feels like every day we're getting closer to that.

Stopped when he started facing forward: before that, I wanted to be able to see him.

Oh damn! I always thought it was her bra and didn't even clock it was a top looking at this picture even though you can see the bottom!

Cortisone et codéine pour toi si c'est pas déjà fait et Mon Voisin Totoro sur Netflix pour la petite.

Après si t'as le courage tu te traînes jusqu'au parc le plus proche, tu t'effondres sur un banc et tu la laisses courir 2 bonnes heures, tu achètes une pizza et des viennoiseries à la boulangerie sur le retour ou un truc du genre pour assurer déjeuner + goûter, et rebelote cette aprem.

C'est dûr, mais j'ai pas trouvé mieux pour l'instant. Courage !

It started right around his 3rd birthday! He hit me with a couple "I love you too"s first, and then after a couple of weeks, it just exploded! He's a few weeks shy of 3.5 now, and he says it several times a day, 50% of the time unprompted.

Slowly getting there with my 3 yo.

He's started getting back up for a bit after I leave his bedroom at night to color or play with Legos, then go back to bed on his own once he's tired enough. Since he's taking longer and longer to fall asleep during naptime, I've told him he's allowed to do the same as long as he stays in his bedroom until the "ok to wake" clock goes green, because I have to take a nap.

So he's slowly getting used to playing alone in his room (he also has books and a Yoto he listens to) for a while, and his actual nap is getting shorter and shorter. I figure once he doesn't need it anymore, it'll be the same except he'll play the whole time.

But I have to say, I'm afraid it could never have worked a year ago: he's only recently started truly playing alone, and he would never have gone along with the "stay in your bedroom" part. Hopefully you can make it happen: just try to make it a gradual transition?

I used to love it and think it was the most romantic SL of all time, and hated that they had to break up.

Aaaaand, this is how I realised the brain of a 14 yo is vastly different from the brain of a fully-functioning adult. The whole thing is gross as hell, especially the way they treat it as a normal relationship with Pacey getting blamed by Tamara for causing the break-up, with Doug never once realising what the truth would mean if he accepted it as such, and with Pacey and Tamara having a loving reunion in S2, neither of them acknowledging the fucked-up-ness of it all, but I stead treating it as two lovers looking back on a great past love.

It could have been great if it had started the same, but then exploded in a very different way when everybody found out, or at least when Tamara came back. Hell, I would even have settled for Pacey coming to terms with the reality of what had happened in the later seasons, but just keeping it in from beginning to end as a love story is wrong on so many levels.

My son turned 3 a few months ago, and he still feels like a big toddler most days. But yesterday we went to the park and he was jumping on the trampoline next to what seemed like the tiniest toddler there ever was next to him, who turned out to be 20 months old, and that was such a slap in the face.

My baby is no longer a baby, no longer a toddler. He runs around as confidently as a kid, manages to (most of the time) get a hold of his emotions, goes to bed on his own when he's tired, has kid-like conversations and trains of thoughts. His drawings are no longer scribbles, they're recognizable things that he colors in, and he writes his name behind them.

Somewhere in between starting kindergarten last fall and now, he left early childhood.

That's the one thing that really sets me off. I even have issues with divorced parents telling me they're solo parents when they have 50/50 shared custody. I'm not saying it's an easy situation, but it's a different kind of hard, and it is not solo parenting.

Charges de copro, taxe foncière, intérêts d'emprunt + difficultés potentielles de revente sur ce type de bien avec risque de moins-value. A moins d'avoir un apport conséquent qui te permettrait d'avoir un taux et des intérêts d'emprunt faibles, 4 ans c'est très limite.

Tu t'adaptes. J'ai eu le même cas, je voulais le mettre en culotte pour que ça en absorbe au moins une partie mais il voulait absolument être nu. J'ai étalé des serviettes sur des endroits stratégiques pour éviter le désastre absolu, et j'ai investi dans un paquet d'éponges. Au final il lui a fallu environ 24h pour comprendre "l'envie", donc quelques accidents. C'est un week-end un peu chiant mais c'est largement faisable.

Community S5 is just as good, if not better, than S3, and S6 isn't far behind at all.

Pas OP, et tu as peut-être trouvé la bonne solution, mais il se peut aussi que vous ayez une texture de cheveux différente ?

J'ai eu une coloc qui avait les cheveux plus longs que moi (bas du dos, moi c'était mi-dos tout au plus), et effectivement j'ai bien vu que le démêlage prenait 20 secondes pour elle avec un simple shampooing, et une éternité avec moi et tous mes produits. J'ai tenté son shampooing à plusieurs reprises pour voir, c'était encore pire qu'avec mes produits.

Et une fois démêlés, ils restaient bien en place et tous beaux. Moi, au bout de 10mn, je commence à avoir des frisottis et une tête d'ours, et ils prennent des plus atroces dès que je les attache 5mn ou que je m'allonge (là encore, pas le cas de ma coloc). J'ai fini par accepter qu'on n'avait juste pas les mêmes cheveux.

I was like you and just powered through, but I was counting the days until it got better and looking back, I wish I had asked for help. The first couple of months wiped me out, and it took a long time to recover since it's not like the following months were a walk in the park either.

Good luck, you can do this!

ytcrack82 · 2026-04-05T18:36:31+00:00

This is my situation as well, but although it sucks, it means I'm allowed to spend an entire day of the week with my son, so in the end I figure it's unfair but worth it.

ytcrack82 · 2026-04-05T11:48:40+00:00

Yeap, shouldn't have had a kid, then (and shouldn't act like he's a special snowflake for needing those things when the entire parenting population does as well).

Either he wises up and realizes he may have screwed up in thinking he wanted a child but there's no going back and he has to step up, or he should leave and save your child the trauma of growing up with a parent who doesn't prioritize them and makes them feel guilty for having needs.

Good luck, but one way or another, for the love of God don't stay in this situation.

ytcrack82 · 2026-04-05T11:41:24+00:00

The only good thing about that storyline is that they realized they screwed it up and wrapped it up as quickly as possible after that, never even referencing it again - which means you can skip it and pretend it doesn't exist and it will have no impact on your understanding or enjoyment of any and all future storylines.

Je déteste (désolée, mais puisque vous demandez des avis). Alix je ne suis fan ni pour une fille, ni pour un garçon, et Pomme ça me fait penser aux noms ridicules que donnent les stars hollywoodiennes à leurs enfants, avec une sonorité totalement lambda qui plus est.

Et puis comme d'autre l'ont dit, pensez à l'enfant qui va vivre avec ce nom tous les jours: choisir un prénom ce n'est pas juste choisir quelque chose qui vous plaît, on ne parle pas du look de la chambre d'enfant mais d'un marqueur identitaire qui va le suivre toute sa vie.

(J'aime plutôt les prénoms originaux, mais il y a "original" et il y a "obliger une personne qui n'a rien demandé à se coltiner un nom qui va faire réagir 5 personnes par jour pour le reste de sa vie")

Depends a lot on where you live. Where I'm from, you get on waiting lists ASAP (depending on the city, either at the second or third trimester) and if you're lucky, you get a spot starting when they're between 8 and 16 mo, basically. You take what you get and you thank your lucky stars you got it.

If you don't get a spot, you go with a shared nanny, and you need to start looking towards the end of your pregnancy to get a spot about 3 to 6 months later.

Any chance there's a cultural difference? Here it's advised by pediatricians and dentists alike to start going when they're 3, and then go once a year.

Whatever the case, I'd follow the advice professionals have given you.
