What are we raising!

How am I actually supposed to discipline my toddler when she just laughs in my face at anything I say to her! Am I raising a psycho?! She tried to eat the hoover plug (luckily not plugged in 😂) and every type of method I used she just laughed in my face. She actually stared at me laughing whilst putting it too her mouth 🤦🏼‍♀️ also drew on the walls with chalk. So I took them off her and told her ‘no, we don’t draw on walls, you were warned so now you don’t get to play with them’ in protest she went and whacked her head off her drawing table 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ what am I actually meant to do

Yeah same here and worst is that my partner will say to her to stop and she will. No matter what I do she doesn't care🫣

Stay firm, hold tight and wait it out 😂
I find staying calm, saying no and being more disappointed and uninterested works better for my girl. She likes the attention so when she is naughty I do my best to say no and give her barely any attention. We give loooaaads of praise and attention for positive behaviours and she acts like she's just won an award.

It can be so hard though can't it, especially when the behaviours are hilarious or dangerous though 😅

To be fair, Hoover plugs are a delicious delicacy.

My little one is the same. Even if she hurt herself she will get upset and a minute later she will go and do again laughing. 😵‍💫

When she drew on the walls, did you say no, we dont draw on walls, but we can draw here and give her a piece of paper? I'm not being condescending when I say this. I'm just trying to help. It's all about redirecting, "we dont draw on walls, but we can draw here instead." we dont play with plugs, but we can play with this instead"

Because if you just told her no we dont draw on walls but didnt actually show her how she can use them instead, then took them away, then she absolutely will have a meltdown because she doesn't fully understand, she needs to be shown too aswell and explaining, it takes time but keep redirecting and she will eventually learn

Anyone else feel like as soon as their baby turned 8m old they are acting like a completely different baby? She's become noticeably more difficult as far as behavior.

Please tell me what your experience is with your 8m old.

Help!!!!

Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

PP things I hate

Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and I’ve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I don’t like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I haven’t been able to wear a dang tampon! I don’t do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if I’m just crazy

Postpartum hair loss

Let’s see it ladies.
You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣

Edit: this is what I caught in the shower and does not include anything that went down the plug, anything that stayed on my comb, anything still attached to my body when I got out or anything that was still in the bath when I was done ✌️.
