20-month-old son all of a sudden throwing severe temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. Could be due to the fact he also suddenly isn’t napping well and wakes up at the crack of dawn. Normal? 😫

Sounds about right. Had a similar situation when my daughter was around that age. It only lasted a few weeks. We found that getting her outside even for 10-15 mins helped.

Yep. The "I'm my own human" program just booted up. Focus on helping them understand how to deal with strong emotions that they cannot express in words. Teach them how to take deep breaths to calm down, etc. Put yourself in their shoes, you are feeling real anger or disappointment or whatever for the first time and you can't tell anyone, your only tool is a tantrum. Be patient, it'll pass.

Whatever you do, don’t get mad. Do your very best to stay totally calm, and don’t react strongly. Help them breathe and reset a bit. It’s hard, and they will push you as far as they can, but remember that they have no other tools, and the feelings are totally overwhelming to them. They’re not doing anything on purpose.

I would be really disciplined on 1 nap per day - quiet time, etc. not more.

Include some daily time to play or walk outside with them(30 min Dedicated time). Sometimes they just feel ignored and want attention. As they get used to the routine, the tantrums will go down.

Yeah, seems about normal. Then you’ll transition into the threenager which seems to last until 6 or so. Gotta love attitude from your spawn.

Yep this is also the age they will start making you feel bad for work travel!

My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating). I have so many friends getting engaged and I just feel... anxious since I am SO single. I'm 27, and I know I'm at that age where people do but it just sucks. I've been on the apps too and it's just... more demotivating honestly than anything else

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Hi single parents! How do you cope with being the NOT preferred parent? They say a mom and son bond is unbreakable but my son always chooses his dad 🥲 no matter how hard I try for our relationship, he always misses his dad even if they spent the whole week together. I love that their relationship is strong, but still hurts to know he’s fine without me but not his dad!

Partners with kids and a working spouse, how do you manage? Is it realistic for both people in the relationship to work full time long term? How do you keep marriage going and career progressing?
