Not the ice cream truck driving down our street, turns the music all the way up in front of our house for like 30secs and just waits. We don’t come out and he turns the music off and speeds away 😭 thankfully my 2 year old was napping 😅
One of the best things you can do for yourself in adulthood, is to learn how to leave things alone.
Just leave it alone. Situations, people, whatever it is, leave it alone.
For thousands of years, babies slept with their mothers. When they cried, they were attended to. Then two men came along: Dr. Holt and John B. Watson. They said babies should be trained. That babies had to fit the assembly line schedules of their parents. "Newborns must cry to expand their lungs," they claimed. "Simply let them cry it out." And that's how the "cry it out" sleep training method was born. Watson treated babies like experiments. "Never hug or kiss your child," he wrote. "Shake hands with them in the morning." After all, mothers needed rest, to attend to their husbands and households. Watson had four children. Three attempted suicide. One succeeded. And we still follow it today. Because once you convince a mother to ignore her baby's cries, you've broken something primal.
i feel so detached from people after i remove myself from them... it feels like whatever relationship we ever had didn’t even happen and whenever i think about it, it feels fake. like it was a dream or something. what is that??
