Tough Topics

I am writing for some peace of mind I guess. Our daughter is 2 and has a rare disease called hirschsprungs. She doesn’t have a large intestine which causes her to poop like all day long. She also has a dairy allergy. She has been seeing the same in home provider for a year and adores her. The sitter does an amazing job with her. Recently she started calling in a lot for being sick or her family being sick. I have a flexible work from home or in office position thankfully, but we all know 2 year olds are a handful. This past Friday I took a day off work, and i still brought her to daycare. She saw on my fb that I was not at work and texted me that we pay her to watch her so we can work not so I can shop. I was appalled. Dumbfounded. I didn’t respond right away because I was mad. When all was said and done I fired her. There was too many things said that she couldn’t even apologize for. So needless to say now I am searching for another day are and i am absolutely terrified. She is pretty sheltered due to her disease. How do we introduce her to a new care provider, when/if we can find one? Do we start with half days or do we just send her? Its also so hard to trust anyone these days even the doctors you think are good are being convicted of crimes. 😭

Hello if you receive an email from family j I just wanted you all to be aware that they are sending out fake checks. Do not accept checks from anyone claiming they are on vacation. Lesson learned

So I found a daycare . I’ve been having a hard time to even trust anyone with my two year old and five year old, but I got a new job and I needed to find someone quick but safe and all the things a responsibile parent screens for when looking for a appropriate daycare. I found one it’s just 20min walking distance. The one thing that bothered me was the daycare lady has her two sons doing most of the work. In my gut I didn’t feel comfortable but I thought maybe it’s just my insecurities with men . I don’t know. They seemed really nice and I didn’t get any bad vibes from them. So tonight my daughter told me that their is another little girl teaching her and my two year old how to shake her butt. And other in appropriate things that got me upset. I texted the lady and told her about it. She asked me to identify what the little girl looks like and what she said. The child care lady said she is familiar with that particular child because of the child’s mother and aunt dances and the child is very sneaky etc. so now I’m just like don’t know what to do. The child care provider said she will nip it in the bud and I have nothing to worry about. But I may have to find another child care provider. Am I over reaching with this? Or should I give it another chance?

My partner wants me to have an abortion but I do not feel comfortable with that. What should I say because we are both in a difficult situation at the moment?

How do you get them to stop hitting and get them to listen. I am taking him to a behavioral therapist but unfortunately there is no opening until end of the month. Hoping they can give me suggestions on how to help him with the hitting issues. any suggestions I can try now will be very helpful.

I need some tips on how to discipline my daughter (13 months) when she does something wrong, I’m not sure how to come about correcting her. I sometimes snap but then I realize she doesn’t understand what I’m trying to tell her. I just need tips please help

Hey mamas! Hope everyone's hanging in there. I'm worried because I've been home watching my kiddo meaning she's not going to daycare and socializing how she normally would! Do you set up Zoom playdates or what? I'm so lost!

Hey mama's. I want to talk with my partner about how we're going to be as parents before our little one is born. Of course we've talked about it but I am trying to bring logistics more into focus like splitting up childcare and housework etc. Any suggestions?!

She’s 2 y.o and has limited communication, does not interact much with other children, and takes part in minimal play. I know she needs to be evaluated but I’m trying to prepare myself. Can other mamas share some of their experiences?
