Wondering

Have you ever given your child something to hold while in the store to keep them occupied from whining etc?

💯 Just yesterday I was in TJ maxx and forgot to bring anything to keep my son (15 months) distracted. He started getting by fussy when I was looking at socks so I found a super soft set and gave it to him to play with while I kept looking!

Always 😅 doesn't like his toy but wants to hold the breakfast bars? Have at it. He's entertained and I can finish my shop in peace 👌🏻

I knew I wasn't the only one lol. I was in family dollars one day just me my son and mom, my son was getting fussy so I gave him some kind of fluffy toy to hold to keep him calm, as we were headed to check out I forgot to put it back and she said something, (the cashier) which was the manager she was rude the whole time while snatching and ringing up my items, she had an attitude talking about "well if you know you was going to get it for him then he shouldn't have had it", talking about she ain't never had to do that with her kids 😏 she is a lie! Nobody would be crazy enough to believe that. My mom was telling her about herself as well but it took everything in me to not go off on that lady. It was about my son but I didn't want to do all that in front of him because for 1 she's not worth it 💯 all that she did was stupid. She has a nasty spirit about her. I don't play when it comes to my kids.

After I left I went to make a review about her and the experience. Come to find out she has so many complaints against her from other people about how rude and nasty she is smh that made me feel better to know that I wasn't the only one.

was almost gonna add that when we got to check out I just grabbed it from him and said, “we decided not to get these” 😂

That does sound rude!!

Especially when we did nothing wrong

Yes I told her the same and she chose to be rude smh

Constantly

Every time. I just give her the next thing I’m putting in the trolley so long as it’s not fragile. Tell her what it is and it keeps her happy for a while until the next thing. She helps me put each item in the trolley behind her too.

Of course! My. Daughter usually eats a punnet of strawberries 😂

@Makaylla My response would have been to look at her deadpan and say "sorry I'm not a perfect mother. I can only aspire to your greatness" and walked off.
It was a mistake to not put the item on the belt to pay for it. You weren't trying to steal it. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but still sucks

right lol that's exactly how she was acting. We were having a great time until approached by her.

Constantly.

Yep, mine was holding a bag of potatoes for me the other day 😂

That's shitty customer service

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
