I signed up for it and didn’t tell my husband. Wish me luck. Haha

Because of your comment I was finally able to do the magic eye!!!!! I can flip back and forth between them and invert the mountains. Thank you!!!

Hi friends. Today my child has been wild. He is not two yet but about to be. We have been hanging around some older kids and he has picked up some violent habits!!

The worst/ funniest part is when he was very upset that the dog was in my spot on the couch and he said he wanted to punch him, I said no.He said he wanted to whack him with a stick, I said no to that too and he said to whack him with the projector, then the robot vacuum.

Needless to say him and the dog were separated and I hope he wakes up from this nap and doesn’t choose violence.

So I realized at some point after having my child that a lot of the gender neutral items are actually just more typically “boy” gendered things put on girls. I wanted to not go along with this. I put my baby boy in flowery onesies and was told “why is he wearing girls clothes?.” Like flowers are for girls?? Those beautiful things that just grow in the ground? What a weird society.

A girl in a dinosaur shirt, no one bats an eye. A boy in a sparkly unicorn shirt, people comment. I am not saying dinosaurs are for boys, I am saying unicorns are also for boys. Then also, sparkly unicorns are for all kids. I have become so anti today’s “gender neutral” because it just isn’t neutral.

Anyways, that backpack will be fun because your kid thinks it is fun. Maybe go get a second backpack for the weekends and make that backpack fun too by doing things together in it :)

Them having their own seats will be a game changer!

Agree. The latest one was this cheap water table from amazon, it was like two feet tall and had like literally 50 little pieces. It is already broken and pieces lost. And I hate it. I hate the waste. I hate that it lasted like 10 days. I hate that I had to put it together. I hate that I had to recycle the box. I hate that I have to dry out the pieces. I hate that it was a waste of money. I hate that I have to send a photo of him playing with it all together and keep it around in case they come visit.

I should be super grateful and just happy but like just ask me what he wants and we can do one big gift. Egh.

Omg this happened to me for the first time with the last batch of toilet paper I got. It was from target. I never had that happen before that!

Got toilet paper from aldi this time and thank god it is better.

Yeah, I agree. Also it has really pushed me to do more instead of less so far.

You know, 1 was bad but I think 2 sounds worse day to day. I think I pick one as long as I don’t get murdered.

7 weeks of solo parenting starts today. We had fish sticks and watermelon for dinner just cause we can. My kid has adopted a dead butterfly, the whole walk home he said “mama, thank you for bringing the butterfly home” as I carried that, my kid, the dogs leash and a filled poop bag back home on our walk.

I wanted this too for a short period in High school and phased out of it by the time I graduated. I feel like I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my life and that was an easy answer.

Describing things happening as missions is super cute though.

So sleep has been an issue over here, but for three days straight my kid has slept through the night. Tonight he looked at me and said bedtime and I went in his room and put him to sleep. This is huge for me. My kid sleeping has been a big fight between me and my husband and I am doing it my way and it is working, knock on wood.

My husband leaves for 2 months this weekend and for the first time I am not worried about how hard being around a kid alone will be.

:)

It really depends on the age but I try to do consequences that make sense for whatever they did. Like if my kid spills water on purpose he just doesn’t get as much water or gets it taken away.

Psh, I have had that fear for months.

We always get sick from the children's museums!! It’s the best time ever and then we pay for all the fun we had. Lol

Can you ping me on this account. My other one will be deleted :( (waitaminute@lemm.ee)
