My 2 yr old is my #Cleft lip & # Cleft palate warrior tomorrow she goes for her 4th surgery and we all can agree that we as moms can feel our kids pain. Today they called my husband to tell him the time we must arrive and her time schedule for the O.R I can hear his voice breaking, he tried to play it off but I know him too well. He’s such a great Dad and love his girls so much. I told him she will do great & this is “ easy procedure” compare to the many more she will have!!
I know a few mommas on here have cleft babies and understand everything we must overcome.
Hi, I remember we chatted before. Hope u doing well. Thank you.
@chikky I am. Thanks. Hopefully since your dd smaller she won't remember much of her surgeries.
Fellow cleft momma here! She’s adorable. Good luck with her surgery!
@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...

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...
*Rant My fiances mom called him lastnight (shes never been there for him) and was like you didnt tell me you had a baby on the way ,he said i did you just never listen ...she said oka well i guess youll tell me when its born so we can get a paternity test because im not going to be involved if its not yours
i told him he can call her back and tell her mfn ass she wont be in my sons life and no she wont know when hes born and that she can kiss my ass (excuse my lauguage) and that i dont respect ...
Shes so beautiful. I remember my journey going thru surgery an crying an my mom crying with me. Technology way better now then when I was born with my cleft palate an lip. I still need surgery but at this point in life dont know if I want to go thru surgeries with kids. Good luck with her surgery an a speedy recovery for her.
