Today is starting off horrible! Two time outs for DD and it's not even 9:00AM! The tv is currently parenting. I swear DD has been in the terrible twos since 18 months. I'm terrified for the future.
I took today off as I have a bajillion things to do. Should have still sent DD to DC but she has a pedi appt to re-check her ears from her previous ear infection. Rash is better but it's hanging on for dear life.
Hoping to find some motivation to get going here soon but I don't wanna get up from the couch!
I really needed to go in to work today but no one could watch V today, so here I am at home. I'm still going to see if someone can watch him for a bit so I can work from home more than an hour while he naps. I wish I could while he was awake, but he is obsessed with the keyboard and mouse and won't lane me be and play.
Back to bible study after our month long holiday break. Looking forward to it! Also looking forward to a low key weekend. I imagine we'll spend a lot of it at the park because the weather is so warm & nice.
mena there's probably still time to bring her to daycare ;-) hope you have a good day!
mena just keep up with the time outs. The terrible twos is (will be?) strong with my LO too. kartish I would watch him. Send him through the interwebs! lilyelayne enjoy!
AFM, I have been letting disney movies parent my children for a couple days now. I have no motivation either - I think I'm in vacation mode already! PS: we have been watching so much disney pixar bonus material (yes my kids are little freaks like me and enjoy that) that I've developed a crush on Angus MacLane (animator and director for pixar). He's so dreamy!
I feel like shit for what just happened to me. MOTY here.
I was just driving and had a laundry bag in the back seat (genius I know) full of MH's shirts to drop off at the cleaners. So I'm driving and hear DD screaming about her neck. I thought she was playing with her toy stethoscope as she had it in her seat. Also didn't think anything of it as she always screams in her car seat. Debated about pulling over but thankfully something told me to. Turns out she had the cords/string from the laundry bag tied around her fucking neck! Thank god I decided to pull over. Laundry bag is currently in the front seat and I'm still shaking (pulled over still at the moment recovering) I don't know how she reached it as I thought it was further away from her. 😓
dreemkin the tv has been parenting a lot lately for me. I feel DD is so high needs and she is very stubborn and strong willed. Hmm I wonder where she gets that from?!
Oh mena I'm sorry. That is scary. Good thing you listened to your gut!
Seriously! I'm freaked out if I just had happened to keep driving. OMG. Don't even want to think of what could have happened. I'm such a fucking idiot.

Ohy gosh terrifying. I am thankful it is all OK but I can only imagine how shaken you must be. You are not an idiot, kids are just good and finding and doing things they shouldn't.
mena kids do things you never expect bc as we grow older we lose our ability to think like children. One thing I've learned about being a mother is that there's a lot of "learning as you go" and big sighs that things turn out okay. You are not an idiot!
mena, so scary, but glad everything turned out ok. Stuff like that would never occur to me. We've all had MOTY moments, just take it a a lesson learned and forgive yourself.
Omg, I can't believe TCF is two years old already. I honestly didn't like a lot of the attitudes over at TB and just kind of ignored those personalities. I am still not totally sure why the implosion happen but I'm glad that this community came about. I feel the support and goodness that happens here is everything! Thanks for being my internet buddies, guise!
I'm being a PW today but the curly hair thread has got me thinking about my daughter's wavy hair. She has inherited my waves but I don't know how to handle hers. She finally has enough hair to worry about this after 4 years (baldy sour and slow growing). Does anyone's child have wavy hair? What do you do to keep it curly/bouncy?
N has beautiful waves out of the bath but she loses them if I comb her detangler through. And if I don't comb and just try to scrunch with some product (what I do for myself), her hair comes out looking greasy or stringy post sleeping on it. Any thoughts for products or tips? I also need something very healthy for her hair because she has Seborrheic Dermatitis and I use selsun blue shampoo which dries/dulls her already delicate hair. Here's pics of her post bath hair PDQ
dreemkin I've been using the kids Shea moisture line I get it at target. They also have sulfate free kids shampoo. I nixed the knot today detangler ad it was making her curls too soft. I use the Shea moisture shine spray to comb through before putting the curl creame in then diffuse with my hands (scrunching it) and a blow dryer on low heat and power. Let me find pics of the products for you
So DD's ears are clear! Rash on its way out. However, she fell asleep in the car as we were on the way to DC so she is staying with me. I was able to go to a "drive through" oil change place which allowed us to stay in the car the whole time. Was planning on just an oil change but of course they said I was due for a transmission fluid service and power steering fluid service. I know they always upsell especially since I'm female but I figured I'd get it done since its been way overdue for everything and I have an older car. Hoping it makes it last longer but my wallet is def not happy with me right now!
And on TCF's birthday I just wanted to thank you ladies for welcoming me here. I'm not sure what happened to create this place but I'm very glad it's here and thankful for all of you! ☺️
Put DD down for a nap, saw her wake up on the video monitor after 30 minutes, watched her play with her mobile for 15, spoke to her over the monitor asking her to lay down. She cried for a minute but did what I said. An hour and a half later of her laying there but not falling asleep I go up to find one of the worst poop explosions she has ever had. I had asked my daughter to lay down in her poop and she did it. For an hour and a half. Talk about feeling two inches tall.

It happens! And how could you know? It's not like you did it purposely. Something similar happened to me a while ago too and I def felt the same. A parenting is so hard sometimes! Glad I'm not alone ☺️

Yup it does, doesn't mean you don't feel horrible that it does which is OK. And sometimes it's nice to know you aren't alone.
And thanks guys for making me feel better! I just could not believe she was able to reach it! oyyyy. Needless to say I will not be telling DH.
I think communication with you H would be a good thing - he would learn from it like you! I just keep it sounding casual when I tell H things like that lol.
Recently LO took a calculator into her crib. The next day I see the back was open and the batteries exposed. Thank god she didn't get them out bc no doubt she would have eaten them.
One morning LO woke up at 5:30 but we left her until 6 bc she wasn't too upset. Turns out she was rolling around in her own puke.

DS woke up with a fever this morning. I was already going to WFH to accept our fridge. I only had an hour or so of work to do and it was a struggle to get that in while DS napped (terribly). The doctor thinks it's just a virus and probably the flu since the strep test came back negative. Fever is still going on. Hopefully it'll break soon.
