Gawd damn.
C section, thankfully.
But uh… weird when you do the growth exam the week prior, and his head and abdomen list as OOR for percentile.
Out of range.
Gawd damn.
Have you still been locking them in the carpeted closet in the dark when they act out? I felt like this was great advice you offered to me when our oldest daughter acts out...My son didn’t get rebellious until around 7, when our daughter turned 1 and he realized it was good business. Now they’re both pricks.
Works out pretty good.

Good idea!Removed the carpet.
Stick with me here on this post. Not judging you, all of these are mistakes I’ve made before figuring out what was going on and making adjustments. Possibly not things you’ve done at all.Mine's 11, closer to 12. She's super talented and naturally good at a lot of things. However, being naturally good at stuff has made her feel she doesn't need to work at anything. She is the mirror of me. I was the same for a lot of things, but she is worse. I don't want to call her lazy, but that might be the word that best fits. Right now, we frame it around her athletics. She wants to be the best, but she doesn't have the natural urge to put in the time to hone her skills. I at least would make my poor dad rebound for me or let me practice my baseball skills pitching to him for hours on end. She doesn't want to put up shots or hit the driving range. She even has a cousin who is two years older that is a basketball star, and she works her ASS OFF on her skills. Right there is a perfect role model, but it doesn't help. We tell her that a lot of her success is because she is bigger/taller than most of the kids her age. Eventually, the others will catch up in size and then it will be that practice that the others have been doing that will leave my daughter behind.
This leads into the age-old question: How do you get kids to take the advice of their parents when we offer it to them instead of waiting until they are older and realizing that they should have taken their advice in the first place? Kids always think they know better. I know I did. You probably thought so too. No matter how many times I tell her, "I know you don't think what I am telling you is true, but I've lived it and know that this is something you need to do to make your life easier. You're thinking right now, just be quiet and let me be, but I PROMISE that I know what I'm talking about because I lived it!" it doesn't seem to make a dent.
Is it possible to break this cycle? How do I get her to accept our advice and guidance even though history says that it won't happen?
No... only goes faster. Mine turned 5 only a month agoHoly shit, little girl turns 2 in a few weeks. does the time ever slow down?
Our oldest turns 6 in a few months and our baby will be one next month... Both girls and time please slow down... Our golden retriever just turned 1 too lolNo... only goes faster. Mine turned 5 only a month ago
Yep, although typically ENTs (at least in my experience) won’t even consider it until they’ve had something like 3-4 of them within a 6 month period.Question for the new parents.. my grandson gets a lot of ear infections. Do they still put in tubes for that?
Both my boys had multiple tubes, and oldest suffered until his adenoids were removed around 3..
