question

My 1.5yr old picked up the word f**k and now is obsessed with saying it. (Can you blame him?) We’ve tried explaining that the f word is Just for grownups and have given him alternative words to say. That turned into a game for him, so we began ignoring him because it seemed like he enjoyed the...

Hey, all! We have a 1.5 years-old boy who we started potty training very early, as soon as he was able to sit comfortably, he was around 6 months-old. We sort of guessed when he would go, right after sleep, after eating and so on. The first couple of months successes were pure luck and...

I am 36F and my partner (35M) has 3 children from a 10 year marriage that ended a little over 2 years ago. K - 11m, L - 8m, R - 5m. He has them the 3 days a week that he doesn't work, and the mother gets them the other days. My partner and I have been dating since early this year, been...

My son (4) goes to pre k at the local elementary and just loves his friends. He has gone to several birthday parties this year and is so so excited for his own… except his birthday is the end of August, a few days before the new school year starts. Because it’s pre k, the students aren’t all in...

So I (F22) have been seeing a guy (M29) for almost 4 months. He’s fantastic treats me right, doesn’t sugar coat anything for me, has good clear communication and listens to me. (When I’m having problems and he helps me work through them.) My parents are 6 months apart at 43 years old. I really...

I work 3-11pm and usually don’t sleep till 3-5am. I’ve had this schedule for years and always struggled to fall asleep. I just got offered to go to 1st which is 6:30-2:30. I’d have to be up like 4:30am and leave by 5 to get to work on time. I cannot take a nap when I get home because my 2 year...

So, this is for both adult children and older parents. I have an invisible disability ( that I'm still kind of in denial about) and need help around my home and my life. I work full time, but at home I struggle. My daughter has taken up helping me and taking care of me in different ways (...

Hi everyone! We’re in our ttw, at 4pdo. We used Gonal F 100ml for 6 days and then the trigger shot and I’ve been having the weirdest symptoms: - intense smell of the smallest things (I guess from the HcG) - a lot of bloating (normal) - cramping (normal) - crazy vivid dreams like finding out my...

We live one block away from my 1st grader’s school. Sometimes we are late to school, as in like 30+/- minutes late. This is due to these combined factors: my 5 y/o doesn’t go to bed early, doesn’t get up early, doesn’t move quickly in the morning to get through the routine and get out the...

In horror movies, when a young child sees a demon or a ghost and freaks out and runs to tell their parents, the parents don't believe them, despite the fact that sometimes they see them when they are wide awake. If your child saw a demon or a ghost and told you, would you believe them? I would...

If you are a parent and are reading this, would you want to know? I'm (F, 20) scared, because my parents are conservative and it happened as a result of a Tinder date. My mom said that if a persons gets raped because of Tinder then the victim "brought it on themselves" This happened in...

Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like I am losing my mind. A few times this week, my daughter has taken to getting up between 11-12 at night and absolutely will not go back to sleep until 5 or 6 in the morning. We had sleep trained her around 5 months and it worked beautifully, but using...

EDIT: Thanks everyone who offered constructive advice. The overwhelming response was “Therapy. ASAP.” I hear it and am on it, likely starting with CBT. I had a chat with him tonight, and thanked him for always sharing his feelings with me, even the bad ones. I asked him if he wants to start...

I saw my OB last week and she recommended the Clearblue Advanced Digital tests. Previously, I had been using the easy@home LH strips for my last two cycles and usually saw a peak at around CD12-13 on those. I am expecting it to be the same with the CB test but who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️ I was curious how...

EDIT: You all are giving really good advice and I've taken a lot of notes. I think I'm also upping the age range to 5-7. I forget how small 3 year olds are because I dont interact with any ever. --' I'm currently working on a kid's book about having an adult in your life with an mood disorder...

I lost about 7 pounds from the start of my pregnancy when I hit month 4. Now I am six months along and only gained 2 pounds from what I lost. The weightloss was not intentional and I feel like I am already eating all the time. I should note I was overweight bmi wise when I got pregnant (but I...

My due date based on my LMP exactly matched by due date from my dating scan at 13+6 weeks. My maternity pay is calculated using the pay I receive from 18-25 weeks so I have been booking some extra work to align with those dates to boost my maternity pay. My anomaly scan is next week on 19+6. I’m...

I apologize if this is the wrong sub and if someone has a better suggestion please let me know. I was wondering if anyone has any advice of where I can go from here. I made the awful decision of filing a neglect report on my sister through DCFS and OCS. They sent me a letter stating they will...

What can I gift a friend who has 5 kids under 10? She's incredibly busy and I feel like she never has a minute for herself, so anything I get her would just (a) add to the clutter and (b) make her sad that she doesn't have time to use it. Any ideas?

Came home from work and instead of the old "what do you do all day?" Question he asks the 13m old "what did you guys do today??!" I started with a detailed report "she woke up at 5:30am was whiney and clingy all day I fed her x y z." He says that's not what he means... he really thinks I sit...
