@tavott Have you tried dropping the nap altogether? What happens at night if he doesn’t nap?

@concretecamper Did you post on the main parenting sub? I find a lot of people on there to be really toxic. I don’t go there. This sub and r/toddlers seem to be pretty supportive overall. Btw, my son was like your baby at 7m. He’s now 3.5 and while he does have his toddler moments, he is still...

@shiftybroccoli Some people can be a little condescending to new parents who have never sleep trained. Maybe a rule about how to respond kindly?

@neverbeenalone We kept our oldest in until his 3rd birthday. He was starting to get too long, so we switched to a big bed. It was definitely difficult to switch and I would have kept him in longer if I could have. Our youngest is 2.5 and he’s shorter than his brother, so I hope we can keep him...

@james_1991 I think that’s the key. They’re letting the toddler control bedtime. They need to set boundaries and say no to iPads, snacks and stalling.

@ztalbott I read an article once (I wish I could find it for you) about a study that was done where they interviewed people with 1, 2, 3 and 4 kids. People with 3 kids were the most unhappy. The authors theorized it was because one kid always felt like they were left out. (I’m not bashing anyone...

@renegadelegion Don’t feel stupid. You didn’t do anything wrong (he did) and I don’t blame you for wanting to try to keep your family together, either. Counseling may be a good idea to see if you can figure out whether you can trust him again. If you can’t, it may be better to cut your losses...

@renegadelegion I guess the big question is, can you ever trust him not to do it again? This relationship may be over, will it always be at the back of your mind that he’s cheating with somebody else?

@onlyjesus316 That’s too bad. I found that they just dimmed the noise a little. Maybe you need something more like noise canceling headphones.

@onlyjesus316 Have you tried using earplugs? Loop earplugs make ones that block some, but not all sound. I find they really help me feel less overwhelmed by tantrums and screaming if it’s not so loud.

@billyli There is evidence that time spent in a daycare or school environment isn’t beneficial to most kids until the age of 3 (or even later for some kids). Up until that age, kids don’t need to socialize. They don’t really play together until they’re older. They do need a close and nurturing...

@iowakid8401 My little brother had it when he was 3 (I was 6). I remember my mom being so afraid. She’s even a nurse, but didn’t realize he had strep before it became scarlet fever. She thought it was just a bad cold.

@orthodoxjay1 Untreated strep throat can lead to scarlet fever. Most people don’t get scarlet fever anymore because antibiotics are used to treat strep throat before it turns into scarlet fever. Edit: left untreated, scarlet fever can be deadly. It’s much easier to treat strep throat with a...

@sweetiicake Yes. He had to wait a certain number of weeks( I can’t remember how many….I think 6 or 8) and then he could get tested. I was on a birth control implant, so he waited around 4 months. He did the test and the said he was all set. They told him he only needed a second test if the...

@bblack4jc I was wondering the same thing, but I think it’s fine. If he was clear, why would a second test be necessary?

@sweetiicake My husband got a vasectomy last year and only had to do one test…

@samuelcox003 Mine did too. After all the skin peeled off my hands and feet, I still had some tingling where the biggest spots were. Then I lost my nails. My husband got it as a kid and didn’t get sick at all.

@samuelcox003 I’m a teacher, so I had heard of it, but I didn’t think too much of it. Kids get sick all the time. I wasn’t prepared for how awful it was.

@shstlws01 I feel like HFM was something I wasn’t prepared for as a parent. My kids and I had it last summer. My kids had a mild/moderate case, but I had a really severe one. It was the worst I’ve ever felt, including when I had COVID, the flu and a c-section.

@jwd Thank you, this has me feeling better. My son is 3.5 and has just been flat out refusing to use the potty at all. We have tried lots of different methods, but he just doesn’t want to. I’ve backed off, and have just kind of been letting it go for a while. I just don’t understand how I’m...
