My toddler just drank a freshly pumped bottle of breastmilk ment for our newborn...sigh...maybe it will help him get over his cold I guess...

shareWe sort of spanked our kids. When they were toddlers, if they went to reach something that was hot/dangerous, we'd slap their hand away for safety and move the object. We didn't do it as punishment because positive reinforcement works much better long term, but I'm not all "never hit a child" because in a safety situation it can be appropriate. That said, they were slaps, not enough to elicit pain further than an initial sting. I'd never purposefully actually hurt a child. That's sick.
I think my husband is depressed. He won't get help. Today he got upset that I accidentally threw away food he was planning to eat (a few bites on a plate by the sink) so he threw out the cupcakes my friends toddler made me to make us "even" and yelled at me for hours. Now he's talking about what a horrible person he is and how he feels bad. I'm worried he might hurt himself. My confession, half of me kind of hopes he does. I know that makes me a horrible person. I just can't handle this anymore
If you're a bitchy person I distance myself from you. I work with a woman like that who was super friendly at first but then I realized she has no control of her temper and will snap out and say anything that pops into her mind, no matter that it may be out of context or irrational. I can't stand people with the mindset of a toddler, thinking tantrums are OK. I no longer invite her out or act friendly. I'm civil, yes and cordial but that's it. Adults need to stop thinking it's OK to act like an immature bitch.
I am a stay at home geri-mom at 45 with two toddlers. Man o man do they wear me out. I feel that I was intelligent before 2 DD's but no more. So Brain Dead. I eat super-healthy and exercise some but I am a chronic lack of sleeper. I fear I am not giving them all they need and I am losing brain cells by the minute. I fear I will fail them as they grow and need ever more guidance, enrichment and wisdom?
I could not be a stay at home mom. My toddler drives me crazy. Major guilt...
When my kids were young (infant, toddler, preschooler) I found that a nightly bath helped calm them down and transition from playing time, to story/bed time.
My DD had BO as a toddler. I'm not kidding, it was super noticeable and I bathed her at least once a day. I even took her to the doctor over it. It's just her body chemistry. Now that she's a pre-teen, she doesn't have it as bad. Well, when she forgets to shave her pits or use her deodorant she gets it but hey- she's learning!
Ok friend, I get you're a mom but why did I need to hear a play-by-play breakdown of some dumb kidddie program your toddler watches? Guess what, I don't care what Max and Ruby do.....or Dora or Cookie Monster either!
It's been nearly two weeks now and DD is STILL getting out of her new toddler bed every 5 minutes. I've been trying the Super nanny technique, and it's not helping. :-( No idea what to do. Just keep trying I guess. Can't help but wonder if kids do this indefinitely. Like, for years?
