I used to joke that my daughter wanted to kill me because her favorite thing to do was put a pillow over my face and sit on it.
I have one son who just recently turned 5 years old, but I have always been very close with my sister's kids so I've been around children and babies most of my adult life. One piece of advice I would give is: respect your child. So much of how many societies view child rearing is based in control, but they're people and deserve to be respected and understood. Naturally you need to adapt this so that you're speaking to them in a way that's age-appropriate, but kids are intelligent and intuitive so we don't need to undermine that just because they're young.

My boyfriend tells me I'm pretty, but I always look terrible in pictures
Sharon Pecoraro 3 years ago
I am a photographer, I bet you are pretty! Because a camera lens is rounded, there is a bit of distortion in every image it "Sees." Look at TV actors and models, they all have angular faces, which compensates for the lens, etc. I have seen UNattractive people who look gorgeous in pictures! Believe your boyfriend!

Not enough effort that's why! When I take pictures I take about 6-7 in different angles, some in "portrait mode" some without, and pick the best one, maybe crop it a bit etc. When he takes a pic he just snap one and done. Odds that that one is good is not in your favor.

Why do women grimace RIGHT when you press the button? Why do they insist on sticking their tongue out for a portrait? Then they complain about the photographer and/or the photo.

There is no one right way to parent. Every way is a right way as long as the child is loved, happy, and safe.
Paula Wynn 3 years ago
Just curious---how is it off? I was blessed to be able to breastfeed my son. It was such a beautiful bonding experience. When my daughter came along, I tried and tried to breastfeed her too. For 3 long weeks, through many lactation specialists, crying as I pumped, exhausted, terrified that she wasn't getting enough to survive, and feeling like a complete failure. The pediatrician made me call it after my baby went under her birth weight. I had to bottle feed her. Please remember that there are reasons people do things that we may not understand.

I would say my favourite part of being a parent is rediscovering how magical the world is. When we go for walks, my son can get so absorbed in something most adults would view as mundane for a long time. It's easy for parents to roll their eyes and rush the little ones along but instead, get down on their level and try to see what's so fascinating. Going for leaf treasure hunts, catching crayfish in the river, jumping in puddles aren't things I would think to do on my own as an adult but it's a blast as a parent. My least favourite part is that the world can be a scary place and while my husband and I are doing our best to help our son build resilience and be able to manage some of the hardships, we can't protect him from everything and that's scary! I also think a lot about other children in the world, I'm very passionate about advocacy for children and youth, so it can be difficult knowing how many children there are in difficult circumstances.

Males have all the anatomical requirements for milk production, but that is stimulated by the hormone estrogen, which exists only in females. Give him estrogen supplements, and he'll be able to do it.
Juri Suhovu 3 years ago
Oh no, male nipples aren't useless, they do start producing milk after probably few days of child sucking, but not sure how much
Scarlett Fox 3 years ago
That's not true at all. Men don't spontaneously start lactating if a baby starts suckling, just like a random woman wouldn't; however lactation in men can be induced either artificially by hormones supplementation, or spontaneously because of a hormonal imbalance.

Load More Replies...I have my Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts and a lifelong interest in comics, manga, and animation. I've always drawn silly comics for my friends, so it was natural to me to do the same once I got pregnant. What wound up happening was I was putting them in a journal to give to my son as an adult so he could get to see things from my perspective and maybe have some nice memories of our life. I decided to put a couple on my art page and got a decent response, so I kept up with it. Soon I was getting messages from all over the world from parents who said the comics resonated with them, and that they felt less alone in parenting when they read them. It was a really nice feeling to know there was a connection with so many other people. I do have a few that I won't share because I think some do just need to be for my son, though.

I was super pissed about something the other day, and I let my son (5) know that I'm not mad at him, I'm just mad at a work situation. He said "When I have big feelings, I take three deep breaths. Did you remember to take three deep breaths, Mama?" 😭 Bless him, it worked.
Pamela Kay 3 years ago
Oh this reminds me of the time when my son was 5. I can’t remember why but he was testing my patience and I was getting frustrated and I was speaking in an angry tone. He just looked at me and said: “I’m trying my best Mommy” Right there I felt so badly. I walked into the bathroom, shut the door and cried. A few minutes later I came out and apologized to him. I still felt horrible but he said, “It’s ok I love you Mommy. Oh and he will be turning 30 this year.

I'm working on putting more effort in continuing the comics. I've been hand-drawing a bunch that I'll redo digitally to keep them coming. We are hoping it'll be safe to do some traveling this summer so I'm sure that'll generate some inspiration. I would love if one day I could build my platform to be able to speak on parenting practices, child development, and other topics that I have professional interests in, such as trauma and its relation to brain development. I would say anyone considering sharing their art online should do it because they enjoy it. If you turn it into a grind, a brand, side hustle, whatever, it'll suck every ounce of joy out of it immediately. And always put a watermark or digital signature somewhere that would make it difficult to remove because your art will absolutely be stolen at some point. Have fun with it, and let yourself be authentic and vulnerable.

The ironic thing is the reason why colds and flu go up in the winter, has nothing to do with you being out in the cold, but the opposite. People spend more time indoors in the winter because of the weather, close proximity to others for longer periods of time means people are more likely to spread virus. As its physically impossible to catch it by just being cold.

I'm a former active duty (Army) mom who drove transportation/tactical vehicles and now handle most of the interior cosmetic projects at home, which requires the use of a lot of power tools. I, literally, do not relate to a single other mom in my neighborhood because in their households those roles are reversed. Even if I had lived on post it would still be that way. I can't even shorten that title to Army Mom because then people would think I'm either a spouse or have a child who's enlisted. Needless to say, I haven't a single mom friend.

She probably forgot to bake/buy a cake or it fell on the ground or something and she had to create a cover story exciting enough to prevent his disappointment. She was too successful and now he doesn't let go of the story. PS: there's no such a thing as "sugar rush".

It is it just doesn't happen if you eat sugar often your body kinda becomes immune to them

Yep! And then lay out his clothes, find his good boots, show him where his underwear drawer is.........ad infinitum. Hmmmm, woulda been easier and a helluva more productive to just take a nap while he watches the baby.

Yes!! Let's all go out together, take the kids to play outside. I'll get around when you are finished, it will only take 5 min... Why do you take forever to get around? Why are you always in a bad mood? How do you not have extra socks in that giant bag?

Every single time! I had severe morning sickness both pregnancies but the second was even more difficult because I had a toddler that cried next to me and kept tugging at me and wouldn’t leave me be! Lol. Now that toddler is 3.5 years old and now she’s much sweeter when I’m sick. She wants to play doctor and help me ❤️

When the kids were little there was this one time I passed out on the living room floor unconscious (low blood sugar). My husband found me and told me one kid was sitting on me trying to get me to "giddy-up" while the other was trying to lift my head saying "mom!.mom! mommmmmmm!"

So.. the montessori method says it is a great way to practice motricity with the knife. No kid will poke his eyes with a knife. Mine both cut salad and potatoes at 1½ year old.

I let my kids use butter knives and plastic knives around 1.5yo under supervision. Great learning opportunity

My mom stressed so much with all 3 of my younger siblings she would always complain that they were way too skinny and they were going to die they all turned out fine lol I would try to give her a break and hold the baby but not the time she would just hold them while she did everything.

One day, dropping my daughter off at daycare, when I was getting into my vehicle which was parked right outside her classroom window because she always liked to wave to us goodbye, I watched as the teacher dropped her on the floor from her arms (about 3 feet). My daughter had just turned 2. I stopped dead and the teacher and I made eye contact. And we both started running at the same time. If my mom hadn't physically stopped me I would have gone to jail

I don't trust daycare unless i have free access to the baby, no " blackout" times. And a constantly available video feed.
Lawrencium 3 years ago
You'll love our daycare then! We allow ANYONE free access to your baby at all times, our staff only "blackout" from drinking during their lunch breaks, and there is of course a constant video feed of HBO shows for the staff and kids to watch!

My one-year-old twins are weird, they say "Papa" to their dad, they said the two-syllable name of their big half-sister a few times, they say something close to "put on" and "take off" in German when it's clothes time, but they've never ever ever said "Mama" to me. I guess we just understand each other without words?

Yes because physically abusing your child who is too young to even understand why they're doing something "wrong" will definitely quiet them down

Yeah, don't know why spankings are still a thing. When I told my parents when I was, like, five that "isn't spanking kids child abuse?" They simply told me that sometimes there's no other way to get through to them. And you smack them where it won't leave a permanent mark anyway.

They have tags now for pets you can attach to collar (in this case a snap off collar since it's a cat so it doesn't get strangled) that are actually very cheap and you connect it to ur phone, then can track any pet. They have expensive ones too but I found one that was $20 with a monthly/or yearly subscription, worth it tho.
