To the twin moms from yesterday’s thread re:people who ask if your twins are “natural,” I *do* sometimes ask if twins run in your family– should I stop?? I don’t mean it to be intrusive and am absolutely not asking whether you did invitro, but maybe you’d hear it that way?
Sometimes DH says things to our LO (21-ish months old) that just make me a slightly uneasy and I can’t tell if I’m over-reacting, if it’s just OK to say certain things when frustrated, or just let it go and chalk it up to different parenting styles. During DH’s childhood it was clearly unwelcome in their home to have emotions, be upset, or have negative feelings. He’s recognized this and is working through those related issues. Part of my priorities is to make sure our son is comfortable having emotions, recognizing them, and moving through them + that it is OK in our house to have emotions.
DH will say like ‘it’s your own fault that you are tired/hungry/cranky because you didn’t sleep/eat what was offered/etc.’ or it is these judgment laden statements when LO is whiny/crying/upset etc. Or LO fussying about teeth brushing and DH responds to LO ‘fine, I don’t care’. Like ouch – you don’t care? Why not just say ‘ok, you can take a turn brushing your own teeth and then Daddy will help.’ or even ‘fine, you can practice brushing your teeth’.
If the goal is to have LO feel comfortable having and expressing emotions at home, why are we layering judgment on when he does? I’ve tried talking to DH about this but he thinks I’m being overly critical. Maybe I am? LO just understands so much of what we say that I can’t help but think that messaging is going to be internalized sooner rather than later?
Or maybe there’s a helpful book on this topic?
I learned today that the owner of our daycare (we love our daycare) is RICH rich. 3 kids in 50k-a-year private schools, owns a 12,000 square foot house in a very fancy town, etc.
Why is this rubbing me the wrong way? She’s started a very successful business and from my understanding, the teachers are happy. I guess I’m just a little salty that we are scrimping and saving for daycare and at least some of that money is funding a very lavish lifestyle?
Has anyone been able to successfully reduce the amount of screens your kids use? We have older elementary aged kids and have over-relied on them throughout the last few years. After reading glow kids, childhood unplugged, we are making a conscious effort to reduce them. I am being met with quite a bit of boredom/resistance/, especially with boys and video games. Looking for stories of others who have cut them out or reduced them. It seems that everyone here is strict about screens, but half my kids peers spend half their weekends on screens and it is so hard to be the odd one out.
