Emotional rant
My parents live 13hrs driving away from me. Last time we were able to meet up was when my daughter was born, 6 months ago. They came to visit and leave tomorrow. I feel so bad because my daughter is going through stranger danger and teething and doesn’t want anyone else to hold her. And both my parents just want to hold her and love on her soo bad and I can tell that it hurts them that she freaks out when they try. Especially my dad.
Im praying in June when we see them again it’s better. It actually makes me cry (and I’m not an emotional person) because I miss my parents so much and I have a close relationship with them and now having my first biological daughter I want her around them more and I want her to have that relationship and closeness that my niece and nephews have with them. But she doesn’t.
We don’t want to move back to that state so idk how it will change. I’m just having a hard time tonight. 4 days is not enough time when you sometimes go 6-8 months without seeing each other but jobs and school make vacations really difficult.

I also live 12 hours from my mom and we were extremely close before I moved away almost 2 years ago. Our families have not seen our daughter since she was 4 months old. My mom comes next week for 10 days and I’m scared that she is going to act like this. My mom is already upset cause she has missed everything on her last grandchild and I know she will be heart broken if she refuses to let her hold her.
We try to video chat a lot so hoping seeing grandma on the screen will make her feel less like a stranger.
As much as it breaks my heart I would never move back to where we left.
You just explained my life. My daughter acted the same way with my mom and sister and it made me cry. My 3 boys were raised around my family but we moved to Vegas from san Diego last year before she was born. It's my mom's first granddaughter and she just wants to love her. It literally breaks my heart and idk how to fix it. We face time everyday but never seems like enough. Some day I regret moving
That’s how I feel right now. My sister keeps telling me to just move back buuut it’s not that easy
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...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I will say this last day my daughter was better with my dad but still wasn’t 100% with him. Hopefully in June when we’re there for almost 3 weeks it will be better. I’m going to try FaceTiming more and hopefully that will help.
