Anyone else’s kids stay home almost 24/7? I feel so bad that my two year old is inside our house a majority of the time. But it’s hard to even take him outside because we don’t have a big yard, he doesn’t really have any outside toys, and the road our house is on is always SUPER busy. The speed limit is 35 but people are constantly doing 50 up and down the road and it just makes me so nervous... my boyfriend (his dad) & I try to take him to the park on the weekends when we’re off but lately it’s either been too cold or raining. When I go to the store or something I almost always try to take him with me just so he can get out of the house for a bit and my boyfriend hates it. Sometimes going grocery shopping can be a struggle because he whines and wants to walk around on his own so my boyfriend tries to keep him at our house with our roommate while we go shopping or whatever and it just makes me feel so bad...
Try story time at the library, toddler play groups, tinkergartens etc
Can you find an indoor play area or Chuck E. Cheese even where he can run and be free? In my opinion, kids need physical activity outside of the house for their mental and physical health. I’m sure there’s a lot of outlets for him close to you, you just need to find the right ones. Especially at his age, it may be inconvenient but it’s super necessary.
That’s why I feel so bad, it’s not good for him to be stuck in the house all the time. It’s not good for anyone, any age! We live in a small town and have to travel an hour and a half or more for anything like that but since I’m gonna be out of work for a few weeks when I have this baby, I’m definitely wanting to find some things to take him to do!
I don’t know how you do that ! My son is out the house nearly all day everyday, he needs it to tire him out. Can you not look in to classes ? My son does crèche, forest school, football, swimming and gymnastics
Ours barely leave we haven’t been out of our house since Christmas Day and the baby is super cranky now but the weather has been horrible and cold snowing and raining and there both sick but my husband wants to run errands tomorrow so I told him let’s all go just to get them out of the house and usually even just going to Walmart is enough for them
Yup all of mine are home pretty much all time. Not packing up 3 and going to a park daily because we have no yard. I also can't lift them all day long especially out side and putting them in the car. I have scoliosis and degenerative disk disease. My back kills me most of the time, especially after having my twins. It's 10 times worse from picking to babies up all the time
Why can’t he walk at the grocery store? Sounds like you need to find some ways to get him out that works for your family ☺️
I’m just super paranoid with all the sex trafficking and kidnapping stories going around. I’m terrified of someone even trying to snatch him out of the cart lol
@tylersmommy11116, I hate to sound harsh but that’s not an “lol” that’s irrational fear type stuff. Your son needs to socialize without these fears being instilled in him kids are like sponges...you should not fear your child being in a grocery store or super market. It’s one thing to be safe and conscious and teaching our kids that but your child should not be taught to fear walking in a grocery store hun. You need to find safe ways to socialize your son.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
I wish I had friends that I could go out with and take our kids out to play or aquariums or something lol me and my kids are always in the house.. It would be nice to go out sometimes 😆
so i txted my bd an told him i might wanna move the shower to the park instead of his sisters house because of our arguement an he ignored me so now i will ignore him an not tell him when the baby actually comes. am i wrong??
Go to the library
