Baby sleep

Are your toddlers still taking naps?

If so, do they have a hard time going to bed at night?

Child learning by getting hurt

So I’m in a silent fight with my husband we have two different views and I wanna get your ladies views/perspectives to even it out for us. Husband and I were raised differently. I think that’s the main thing here. My parents raised me the same way that I’m bringing up my son minus the trauma lol. Basically, my mother-in-law kind of sheltered her kids in the sense that she was overly protective with them falling and getting hurt. I was raised that if my parents tell me multiple times to do something unless there’s a chance of me getting majorly injured my parents would just let me find out the hard way. Like if you’re learning to skate or ride a bike you’re gonna fall you’re gonna skin your knee and eventually you learn not to do that thing. They got you hurt in the first place. Tonight, my son was playing with his uncle’s dog, which is a much bigger dog than ours and I told my son multiple times not to throw the toy close to where he is up in the air because the dog is going to knock him over and he’s going to fall. My son did not listen and what happened. The dog knocked him over. He fell on his back and he dumped his head on concrete yes. It wasn’t a huge bump. He’s fine. He got up, walked it off. I felt his head and this isn’t the first time he’s bumped his head. It doesn’t happen often by the way where he falls down and learns the hard way like this. I feel like these lessons are important because once they happen guess what happens my son learns to be careful and not do those things anymore and I don’t have to consistently tell him and if he does do those things while he’s gonna learn again until he really learns his lesson. My husband always gives me a dirty looks about this because in his mind, our son shouldn’t be getting hurt like this in the first place, but I can’t cuddle him because then he’ll never learn not to do things and why he needs to listen to us, his parents in the first place when we tell him not to do something, but what do you guys think?

Tell me I’m not just stuck in my feelings…

So I wanted to take my son to Knotts for the ones who don’t know it’s theme park.

I have season passes and I’m going to go back to work next week so wanted to go out as a family before I get busy again. We also have a lot going on this June between birthdays and the World Cup which my husband is very passionate about. I wanted to invite him since if we just left he’d be upset when he woke up since we didn’t include him. At first he said he’d go but wanted me to drive fine. Then he said let’s just go to MIL’s house since she cooked and going out is too expensive. In my car fuel wise it would cost me $5 to drive there… my son being a 3 year old got into mischief like all do and my husband said no that he’s staying home because said husband didn’t put his MTG cards away and 3 year old spilled a drink on his cards. They were in sleeves and I think that’s husbands fault for not putting it away. Anyways what makes me feel angry is husband is watching a soccer game AKA the real reason he wanted to stay home. As a mom I feel like it’s wrong to under mine since 3 year old did do something bad. Plan tomorrow is telling Husband I am going to theme park alone with child and if he doesn’t want to wake up and go once I nudge him we are leaving. Feel fair? I also think I am still being too nice doing that…
