    On a first-name basis with 2-yo

    @iamateenchristian It’s a cultural thing I was brought up with. And even at 39 I couldn’t call my mother by her first name.

    On a first-name basis with 2-yo

    @stop_cern_idea That’s how my husband is. I think his mom call her mom by her first name. I forgot the story. But my mom would kill me if I called her by her first name! We have to find a middle ground lol

    On a first-name basis with 2-yo

    @stop_cern_idea My kid does this but I don’t allow it past a playful time. Does anyone think it’s disrespectful for kids to call parents by their first names past toddler stage?!? They are so innocent and little at this stage, who could get mad at them? But if it continued, I think I wouldn’t...

    What do you class as sleeping through the night?

    @sass I think what your friend means is that the baby wakes up twice, eats and goes right back to sleep in 20 minutes or less. I could understand this bc when my baby finally did this I also considered it a full nights sleep. in comparison to constantly waking up to a crying screaming baby, who...

    @pink1 My goodness! I would call her by her first name too! It’s definitely something that you earn as well. Mom and grandma. You have to be treated like a child or grandchild! Kids deserve respect too at any age. And not have to go through anything like that. My heart breaks for you. What a...

    @pink1 Thank you for this. I do think by my husband calling his mom by first name is a jab from some sort of resentment. I don’t like it. My mother in law is great to me and my kids so I have no animosity there. And i don’t know if I came on too strong by calling her mom so early but it was my...

    @pink1 That’s so cute! My daughter is also 4 and is flabbergasted we have real names and she tries to say them it’s adorable. Scott is “ssshhott! At the same time, I shit it down when she doesn’t stop. My husband calls his mom by her first name and I think it’s so disrespectful. My mom wouldn’t...
