@jadieemir@rrcjaf Yessssss. The 8 year old can't quite clip her seatbelt because of the booster seat...and the 5 yr old can't clip the red button of his 5 point harness...and of course the 2yo can't do any of it. So much work 🥵 You've got it, you're doing the Lord's work out there. I promise.
@jadieemir@rrcjaf Oof. I have an 8, 5 & 2 yr old. Went to take the car to shop today w/ the 3 and WOOF was it exhausting. We walked everywhere we could to all the closest shops but it was short lived. We ended up terrorizing the tiny car shop lobby for the last 30 min of our repairs.
@MischlingMaker@janesue821 The amount of sugar in each pouch...not much when consumed one at a time but 7 in a night? While trying to sleep? The kid is probably bouncing off the walls and the parents are too ignorant to realize.
You have to walk past the urinals to get to the stalls... where grown men will be fully exposed. THAT'S the concern. My 8 yo daughter doesn't need to see some grown man's pen!s.
I know people are split on this, but I’m not.
My husband and my dad would’ve never walked into a women’s restroom. Ever.
When our daughter was little and I wasn’t with them, my husband took her into the men’s room. Did he love it? No. Are men’s bathrooms usually gross? Yes. But public bathrooms are gross in general. Nobody is sitting down comfortably in either one like they’re at home.
I wish every place had a family restroom. That would solve a lot of this. But they don’t, and you still have to make the best decision in the moment.
For me, that decision is not a grown man going into the women’s restroom.
If the concern is cleanliness, then are we saying dads should start bringing little boys into the women’s restroom too? Because little boys are also children. They also deserve clean bathrooms. That argument falls apart pretty fast.
Use the men’s stall. Stand guard. Bring wipes. Bring sanitizer. Put toilet paper down. If you’re worried about stall gaps, keep a towel or blanket in the car.
It may not be ideal, but parenting is full of “not ideal.”
Men do not belong in women’s restrooms.
And I don’t think that should be controversial.
@raisingsteaks@MrsCMFrancis I always joke, usually while lifting/squatting w/2yr that I should be buff by now. lol But I'm convinced toddler leftovers count as double calories & running, lifting with kids counts as negative exercise. 🤣🤣
@misshapenident1 And who is to say that some sicko won't see a little girl in the bathroom and turn around to expose himself? Why risk it? Thankfully where we live there are typically family bathrooms where a parent and all their children can fit.
@misshapenident1 Men don't pull their penis out of their pants? What is there a tube that goes down their pant leg? My child shouldn't be anywhere near an exposed sexual organ. Period.
@raisingsteaks@MrsCMFrancis Thx! I'm usually a "hangery" type person but now I forget to eat lunch 90% of the time. When your body goes into ketosis it runs out of carbs to eat& starts eating fat. Which I have plenty of.I want to add in exercise soon but the kids are home for the summer so it's been crazy.
@TommyDingo It's weird to take my 8-13 yr old daughter to the bathroom? No. It's not. Not even a tiny bit. I go to restroom with my girl friends, of COURSE I go with my daughter.
