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
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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text 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 your thoughts on the matter? Do u think the parents are behind this? Idk because I haven't met the parents or children. I just think at 5 it's very young for children to really understand. What do u ladies think?
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
OK girls my friend just took this test she swears she sees nothing on it but I see a faint line what do you girls think?

Has she always tended to be this way or do you think it's worse since Faith joined the family?
Adrienne Kark··
No she's been more of an emotional person always, it's just been getting worse the past 2 months. She adores Faith

My son is super sensitive like that. Honestly putting him in his room for about 4 mins really helps. He usually calms himself down enough. I try not to say anything or raise my voice. Hugging or talking doesn’t help but usually he will chill out in his own time.

I'm like that. I need a few minutes to myself or it's like throwing gasoline on a fire.
Mamabirdddd··
I am the same way! But usually with him, after a few mins, he’s good to talk it out. He’s just more sensitive and that’s ok, some things just need to be handled differently. I only have one though so idk how id handle it with more than one.

Don't quote me but maybe she needs new tools. One of my girls is super emotional and sensitive and this summer I'm trying to help her find new tools to help her cope. Maybe breathing and/or quiet corner with special activities, sensory bottle, yoga.
Give her emotions names like "oh mommy sees you are angry and your feelings are sad right now." Or shit, you guys live out in the boonies it looks like 🤣 Tell her you can't let her scream inside but let's go outside and scream together! 🤪
Right now the frustration build up the way she is handling is the only way she knows how. I had a hard time understanding my little and still messing up and learning with her but every so often she gives her emotions names and I'm like YAY! It helps!

These are flipping awesome suggestions.

Daniel Tiger songs work with my son, she just gets mad if I can't make her feel better immediately. I worked at a head start and have SO many tricks up my sleeves to help calm my kids but all of them just make her mad and more angry and louder

@countrypeaches42013 I love daniel tiger! 😍 Honestly I wouldn't try to fix it for her, just let her have those emotions and talk after she has cooled off. My daughter is the same way, it's like you can't reason with them when they are that crazed Nd in the moment. 😆 all the things I mentioned are during happy play time. I feel like schools should put a dealing with emotions class in their schedule!
Uhhhh·
Both my girls are very sensitive.
Aubrey shuts down and cries
Kynzleigh however is opposite
....
She'll cry then get angry....
I will say though when Aubrey was younger she would get frustrated and hit, usually herself.
I used to have to hold her and count down from 10 until she calmed down. It was the only thing that worked for her.
