I just lost an hour cause I went to lurk Parenting UO and they linked to another board's UO and I fell down the stupid wormhole. Also longest nap ever. Maybe DS is sick with something more than just a stuffy nose..?
Holy SHIT, I know. April 15 has a ton of crazy that appears on the first page of that! Racist assholes clueless to white privilege, it is "selfish" to only have one child and a woman must be subordinate to her husband. Lol wow.
They've created a shit show over there!!!! Oh Ma Gah!!!

Happy to report Casa Clark is as we left it. I locked and shut all windows and grabbed a few more supplies. It's like the apocalypse up there... Except with the loud hum of generators. Fingers crossed power will be restored tomorrow!
DS is also a car seat screamer, hence the HDBD photo this week. I'd only go out with him after he's had a nap and is fed. But on the way back he's always cry. Sometimes he doesn't even last 5mins. White noise, music, shushing, AC, windows, mirrors, toys.... Tried them all. If he's bad enough I'd stop to console him, but that would prob only buy me another 5-10mins of peace before he picks up again.
It's always heartbreaking to see all those tears running down his cheeks and his shuddering. I might give that convertible car seat a try next. We're going to Vancouver for 4th july weekend. I'm already dreading the car ride. I always sit in the back with him when DH is driving, even that doesn't seem to guarantee a 15 mins meltdown-free ride.

This! Allllllll of this! I seriously cannot thank ALL of you today for letting me know i'm not alone!! I seriously felt like it possibly could have been something more with DD. Phew.
So now we figure out why she cries after her bath!! LOL
I swear those are the only times she's upset. But boy...when she's upset she lets the neighbors know!

Damnit, lilyelayne! I had to go look and now I am stuck in the rabbit hole of stupidity! They are 39 pages deep of this crazy shit and I can't look away. It is an absolute trainwreck! At least I have something to do while I hold Brady. He is a grumpy shit after his shots today.
MommyOfAMiracle DD also hates the car seat. She is better now with a mirror back there, though. Someone mentioned it on another parenting board, and the consensus was that a lot of babies do better once they are into the convertible seat.

But you got a cute IG photo out of his clinginess The craziness & parenting take over extends to their randoms thread for today. You're welcome.
Also, how can I change my username? If I change it, can l be tagged with the new name? Did not realize how unpopular it is to have "momma" in a username.

I love the word momma.
It's my preferred spelling of the word. Fwiw tapatalk will always show your original login name even if you change your displayed sn. So if you're changing so people on the boards see something different, there's still a portion of users who won't notice a change.
Holy SHIT, I know. April 15 has a ton of crazy that appears on the first page of that! Racist assholes clueless to white privilege, it is "selfish" to only have one child and a woman must be subordinate to her husband. Lol wow.

I've only made it to like page 3 but lord.. That board is blowing up today.

It amazed me how long it took to get to someone going "hang on now, guys, this is crazy".

DS did so well at his appointment today. He's up to 13.7 and 25 inches. He took the shots like a champ (ok, he did cry, but just a little).
However, when he woke up at home he was screaming and wouldn't nurse. I set him down with the paci to calm down. It took me several tries and finally had to express some milk out into his mouth for him to latch on. That happened twice. I also gave him a little Tylenol since he did seem to be sore.
Ugh somehow I missed a disposable breast pad when I put in a load of laundry, so now everything is covered in weird gel beads. Washing again with an extra rinse to hopefully get rid of the stuff. Anyone have tips if that doesn't work? Ever washed a pad or a diaper or something? It's on EVERYTHING from one little pad; I can't imagine what washing a whole disposable diaper would be like.
I think I have washed a disposable diaper... It was just white fuzz everywhere.
I was wondering if there were any others that deal with their LO screaming when they are in the car for car rides.
It's a 50/50 chance, so it's not every time we are in the car, but it's like 90% of the time. Sometimes she'll be good for the first ten minutes and then get really upset, other times she starts to cry the minute she gets buckled in. I have adjusted her straps, given her toys, rolled the windows up/ down, turned the A/C on, turned the A/C off...etc.
The other night we left dinner and the minute I put her in, she screamed the WHOLE WAY HOME. And I'm talking, making herself choke scream. One of us will sometimes sit in the back with her, but she will cry anyways.
Please tell me I'm not alone. I'm scared to take her anywhere. Any advice?!?!
We switched to a small convertible and the screaming stopped. Thank goodness. I also smile/coo/make silly faces when I am putting her in.

Wooooah just read the beginning and end of that horrible thread. There are some scary people in this world. Either through their hatred or their ignorance. it made my stomach turn

Yes! They bothered me more than anything else. As I read I was like -- how is no one disagreeing with them?!?
Hey ladies! I've been gone for a while learning new job and surviving motherhood. I've missed you all.
Don't know if this has been discussed (I suspect it has but I didn't see a thread dedicated to it and the search bar declined to work) but has anyone had their LO wake up screaming about 30 min after he is put down for bed at night and what did you do about it? If I go in I can soothe him within 5-10 min but he will wake up again, rinse and repeat several times until this tired mama is ready to go postal.
He usually naps twice during the day and has a bottle around 7 ish pm and is in bed by 8. Thoughts? Advice?
