Moms! I need advice/suggestions. My almost 17 month old can be really
Mean sometimes. She has been grabbing other kids faces at school for no reason. She tried to grab the teachers face too. She usually only acts this way with me. I try everything to reprimand her and nothing works. It makes me feel so bad. Could it just be a phase or something more? It seems so unprovoked sometimes. Going to bring it up with doc at her 18 month visit. It honestly worries me something could be wrong with her.
@skymomof4, it’s ok, I am just in a bad mood at work now because she was doing that. I just don’t understand why, did your son do it unprovoked? Sometimes she does it out of anger but other times she just does it and I chalk it up to being bratty.
@skymomof4, didn’t you read I tried everything with her when she did it with me? I’ve tried a smack on the hand, timeout, no no, nice hands, etc. nothing works. So I have tried to stop it with me many times.
FTM problems...
So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It...
I can't believe it
My cousin stayed with me rent free from September 2015 to April 2016 and her stuff is still in my apartment. She's been saying she was going to come get her stuff for months. She text me this morning saying that she was going to come and get her stuff soon, and I asked her if I could have her air mattress. She tried to charge me $60 for it. The air mattress sells new for $35 on amazon and she didn't even pay $60 for it. I didn't respond and she just text me saying the $60 was...

Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
OT. rant! forward facing early
ok, so in my birth month forum (October 2012) someone posted a picture of their lo riding in the car in a forward facing seat! what???? it baffles me when parents do this. I'm not trying to offend anyone.. but why do ppl do this?? the oldest baby in our birth month is 9 months, she was 3 months premature. but even at 9 months I wouldn't have my child forward facing.

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
You can’t really discipline an 18mo because they don’t understand punishment. It’s certainly a phase. A stern NO and redirection or removal from the situation is the best approach for this situation. Def don’t feel bad— just keep redirecting and she will eventually move on to some other phase! It’s frustrating but it’ll pass 😊
