I hope this doesn’t make me a bad mom but my son. He is going through a phase where he is literally whining about everything. It’s like he’s resorting back to infancy where he whines and needs to be picked up and walked around. Ok dude you’re almost four and weigh like 35 pounds. I can’t carry you around like a baby and you really need to figure out another way to deal with your problems. We probably babied him too much..still co sleep and he was breastfed past 2 years old but DAMN if i could take it back I would.
@lincbeesmom if it makes you feel better I know a lot of crib/formula babies who are super whiney too... I think it’s just a kid thing. (Which is what I tell myself when my LO and my students are whining) Sometimes movie and cuddle dates help here, but I’m sure you’re not able to drop your whole life on a whim to watch a movie!
@ivyvines6 omg I hadn't opened that thread yet. I was always surprised that everyone was enthusiastic enough about lotions to keep it going so long. Boy was I wrong
@lincbeesmom, four has been the absolute worst for us. My son was not a problematic two or three year old really (the basic 2 and 3 behavior) but since he hit 4 I'm like "what is your deal!?" He whines so much more, everything is hugely dramatic. I think it's just the age, but boy is it trying.
@molly1108-2 it’s rough! I just started googling preschools near me haha. Get him out of the house for a couple hours a day so I don’t go completely insane.
TW of the week is every person who shares a sad animal video on Facebook. I’m literally considering getting rid of Facebook just because of all the sad animal videos TW - Animal stuff
The one I saw this morning was of 3 puppies stuck in tar. I literally can’t stop crying and I didn’t even watch it. I just saw the headline and started bawling. What is wrong with the world.
End TW
ANWAYS, someone needs to invent a Facebook block for sad animal videos so I can stop crying at my desk.
omg the bump cream post. I know I am not always the best at being a regular poster but I promise to never revive a dead thread that was pointless anyway. I will never be that TW.
Yeah, the bump cream post was annoying. My TW for today was my co-worker who microwaved leftover crab cakes for lunch and stunk up our whole office. Ick.

I will. I needed popcorn for that thread. I wondered why a post about bump cream had so many responses.
My husband is mine today. I know I should be thankful that he works so hard but today I'm pissed. He changed his schedule so instead of coming with me to the Dr tomorrow to manage our out of control 20 month old son I'm going alone. Apparently it's outrageous that I suggest he move his appointment to another time and it's far more reasonable for me to take a toddler to my prenatal appointment or reschedule for January 9. I'm so freaking pissed.
@sandbar517 omg I have a coworker who is constantly microwaving fish related stuff for lunch and it's the WORST. My office is right by the kitchen and there have been times I've had to actually leave and go take a break until the smell dissipates. Why do people not have more sense!!
I think I'm the TW today because I'm so addicted to the bump cream thread.
@lincbeesmom, we formula fed since 6 weeks and they went to cribs at 3 months. DD just turn 2 and is still a whiner who clings to me or DH depending who's around, how much sleep she has gotten, and if the wind blows from the East. Thats just her. Do not question your past parenting choices! That's just asking for worry.
My TW today is all of the bad medical news we've found out about family and old friends this week. It's Tuesday and I'm already over it.

^^^ Yes!!!! I swear that half of my FB friends have fking shared that video. I scroll past as soon as I see it but damn I don't want to see animals suffering even if their were rescued! Breaks my heart! :'(
Parenting is SUPER hard. She also ate shaving cream, shoved crayons in her mouth and nose, and drew on her face with a marker today. If I weren't pregnant, it'd be a "chug a beer when DH gets home" kind of night. You're doing great!!!
My TW is everyone! Well most ppls lol I dunno I think I am just pissy. Calling out sexist posts in a FB group I am in. Giving my SO the stink eye randomly. Drivers pissing me off on the road. I had been doing so well hormonal wise in the first trimester. The last couple weeks or so though... I am really trying not to loose my cool.
The universe is my TW today. When I got up this morning, we had a fire burning a ways away. The air quality was bad, but we were far enough away that it didn't really impact us. By noon today, there were two more fires much closer to us and one of them closed every single road from work to my house.
I called the sheriff's office to get updated road closure information before attempting to get home and they told me they had opened a side street. The traffic was still terrible, but I needed to get home to get my bronchitis and HG medication. I get to the road and CHP tells me it was never reopened and that I needed to turn around and try to get on the freeway which "Is supposed to open soon." Ummmm, thanks a lot. So basically, it took me two hours to get home today and I had to barf in the car.
@mileswithmyles oh no. I'm sorry. That is a super cr4ppy day. And you don't need to be inhaling smoky air with bronchitis. I hope tomorrow is a much better day.
@Kendrajos Same. I was proud of myself for being so stable first tri (my husband even commented on it) and the past week I've been a bucket of tears over the dumbest things. Today is the first day I haven't cried in a week
DS. And of course this happens on an evening where DH is playing soccer.
So about ten minutes into his bath DS pooped in the tub. I hauled him out, hosed off the toys and started rinsing the tub down so I could refill it. I look to my right because my sock feels funny and the little sneak is peeing on it and the outside of the tub!!! I get him to stop. I'm just about to hang the hose back up and he's peeing again but on the bath mat!! Uuuuuugh. So I sit him on the toilet, give him a book and tell him to stay put while I refill the tub. Such a pain. Now I need to clean the outside of the tub (which I just did this weekend!!) And wash the bathmat. I just wanna sleeeeeeep Also how does a 2yr old hold so much liquid in him?
