I’m frustrated with my 3 year old he thinks it’s playtime when it’s time for bed. I do everything I can for him to know it’s bed time. The people I stay with doesn’t make it any better and think if I constantly spank him it’ll help and that does the opposite for him he gets wilder. I don’t know what to do anymore.
She says I’m raising my son like a white women ( no offense) I’m just raising him the best I know how
Thanks mamas it’s a little harder since his whole night routine changed since we
Lost our place and am with a friend she has a five month old and thinks she knows everything and she doesn’t know the half of it when it comes to kids
My daughter was getting that way. She still has all her toys in her room. But what i do is i get her ready for bed. Whatever she needs. Give her a cup of water to keep with her. Lay her in her bed. Tuck her in. Sometimes i read to her. Other nights i just walk out and close her door. Unless she starts crying from needing a diaper change I normally just let her do her thing. Within 30 mins shes asleep. I get her ready for bed around 7pm. Put her in her room by 7:30pm then shes asleep by 8pm.
and that rocking can last 10-60 minutes. i really do try to keep a schedule but time and life are against me lol.
mine is younger but i still have to rock him to sleep. literally have to hold him in my arms/lap and be like “i don’t care it’s night night time” sometimes it’s a struggle. i give him like 20-30 minutes of quiet time before bed time and in that time we read a book, sing a song, chill on the bed or something. he gets warm milk at bed time and it’s completely dark otherwise he’s distracted. i don’t spank him cause i feel that’s wrong and i’m already holding him down. hang in there mama!!
Mine is like that too, he gets super wild before bed. We’ve had to remove most of the toys from his room (just books and puzzles in there now) stick to a very specific routine, and occasionally use a timer (he’s obsessed with beating the timer). We also try not to do any screen time after dinner if it can be helped, as we noticed he gets extra wild if he does screen time then bed time. But still the little rascal manages to push back bedtime more often than I’d like
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...
@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 know this sounds sooo fkedup but sometimes i wanna get into a bad accident so my husband sees exactly all the things i do ... and how wrong he is by saying i don’t do enough ( not in those words but the jist of it ) anyway .... i think this all the time . Maybe then he will think differently .
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.

My son just handed me this…. As an adult I made the decision not to get it and told him why I choose not to. Asked him if he knew anything about COVID or the vaccine and he said no all he knows it’s that it’s out there. At the end I asked him if he wants the vaccine I will sign the form if not we ignore it. He said no thank you 😊.
You just have to keep him on a routine like two hrs before bed start doing a bath maybe some books lotion etc
