November 2021 Babies 🇺🇸

The last 4 years of my life have been torture. I am in an extremely bad domestic violence relationship that I can’t get out of without losing my son. I get hit EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! with either a shoe, a brush, a belt, his fist, his foot, my son’s toys, I even had a remote thrown at me and busted my lip. He hits me in the head to the point where I get headaches, if I do something he doesn’t like he punishes me like a little kid, he makes me go 2 days without food or he eats in front of me. He REFUSES to watch our son for more than 2 minutes. When I have intercourse with him he’s fine but the next day or a few hours later he snaps over nothing. He disrespects our son and calls him a retard all because he has autism, he disrespects my family and he is physically, emotionally and mentally abusive. I am not allowed to talk to my family or give my family my address, he said if I want to leave to leave by myself and leave my son here with him. Everything was fine in the beginning but the second his mom passed and we moved in with my mom in a different state temporarily that’s when the abuse started. It’s gotten worse over these last 4 almost 5 years and I don’t know what to do. Please help me figure something out before he seriously puts me in the hospital

Nobody warned me that motherhood would be grieving old versions of your child while celebrating who they’re becoming. 🥹 My daughter got glasses today and somehow looked years older overnight. What was one moment that made you realize your baby wasn’t a baby anymore? 😭🤍

He was doing good for 2 days then he started losing interest. I've been thinking of just putting him in underwear so he can feel his pee, but I live in a rented apartment and don't want to soil the carpet. Are there any more ideas? Thanks.

I genuinely think every mom deserves at least one trip a year where she can fully exhale ✈️🤍

Hi moms! I hope you're having a good weekend.

So, I have 4yo boy who is obsessed with Lightning Mcqueen and trains(especially railroad crossing which I think is funny and weird obsession). He goes to the speech therapy, but his teacher from his preK says he has no issues there. He listens, he plays with friends, but not really interested in academics such as drawing and writing letters practice haha

Um, to me, he's typical 4yo boy, but my husband wonders if he has autism or maybe in gray zone. My son loves pretending being a race car and always runs down to the straight sidewalk beside the parking lot at school, which I have never seen any kids doing that. He responds my questions and we can talk about stuff, but, I'm not sure if he can have decent conversations with kids.

Does this sound like normal 4yo kid? What do you think?
