How would you approach this?
In the park with my 6 year old and the sprinklers are on. She's playing in them and there's a bucket (like a sand bucket) on the ground, so she picks it up and starts filling it with water.
When we were about to leave the park, my daughter says "that lady over there was so rude to me. She told me if I want to play with the buckets that I should save my money and order it or buy it because it's not that expensive" . If you know anything about me, you'd have to assume I would say something because are you fucking joking lmao.
So I approach her and ask "did you tell my daughter that she should save her money and buy her own bucket?" And she kind of laughs like that was ridiculous and then says I told her these buckets belong to these kids and that it isn't hers and they're not very expensive on Amazon if she wants to get one.
I replied "she's a child."
Then she says "well I told her no and she kept stealing them and filling them up"
So I replied "stealing?" to which she said "well not stealing, but she played with it after I told her no"
I said "it's a bucket" and she continues defending her stance and I just okayed her like 3 times and left her talking. The words I wanted to use just weren't worth it. And it was so hot and we were already leaving the park. But oooooh I wish I witnessed the exchange because wtf? And my daughter is super sweet and friendly, so if she was a little jerk I'd understand more.
And what kind of parent says you can't play with my kid's things? A water bucket? In the park? Really? Like it's your right, but grow up?
Roommates or lovers
Is anyone feeling like even though you and your husband do stuff and all of that, that you still feel like roommates sometimes? Like, you aren’t as connected and feel like you need more time together? I’m still healing postpartum so we don’t really do stuff plus having a newborn, it’s tough to find time. I just feel like I’m missing him constantly even when he’s next to me and that we are starting to grow apart. I know he loves me and I love him, I just want more time with him. It’s hard with 2 kids and constantly needing to do things, plus being exhausted from a new baby…idk. Anyone else having these issues/do you know how to fix it?
