Three things (Game)

Quick, off the top of your head, no prioritizing or editorializing, what are three parenting concerns you have right this moment?

- Trying to figure out how to expose the boys to outdoors when DH and I are not outdoors people
- Wondering if they'll still fit in those cute 4th of July onesies I bought by the holiday
- That I never finished their 'baby books'

 

-Why did DD wake up at 5:45 a.m. this morning?
-How will the kids deal with our upcoming move at the end of May?
-How am I going to take care of 3 kids under the age of 2? Yikes!

 

What can I do about the diarrhea the baby has from the amoxicillin she's on for an ear infection?
Why has DD started to whine all of the time and how do I teach her to talk normally?
Will our great sleepers ever get back to normal since our strep and stomach bug (twins) and ear infection (baby) has kept everyone up?

 

What in the world am I going to do about my 9 year olds smart mouth :girl_devil:
I need to put neosporin on my sons blister, that is on his foot from wearing his sisters sandels that are wayyyy to small.
When is my 14 month old going to start walking on his own. He can walk with any toy, along furniture and walls but still won't dare do it by himself.


Great post!

 

Why won't Karlee take her 2nd nap all of the sudden?
When will my girls walk on their own?
How am I going to manage the twins at my older dd's honor day?

 

How can I get the boys to stop throwing toys! :gah:
How can I get the boys to stop throwing food! :gah: :gah:
How can I get the boys to stop throwing books! :gah: :gah: :gah:

Hmm, I'm sensing a theme here... :laughing:

 

- How they're going to react this weekend to inlaws they haven't seen since birth
- If daily allergy medicine is a good idea for kids under 2
- How to teach Drew to manage anger without yelling or hitting!

 

Why is my son so much smaller than my daughter all of a sudden when he used to always be the bigger one. Am I starving him?
How can I teach my kids to come when I say come?
Will they remember how angry I get with them at this age?

 

How are the boys going to adapt to a new bedroom?(they currently ate in our room)
How are the kids gonna adapt to another baby in the house?
Will these boys be potty trained before the baby is here? 3 in diapers :blink:

 

How to smoothly transition to one nap?

Trying to get them out of the house when I am just too tired to do anything.

Traveling out to the beach to see my family when they visit next week.

Do I have to stop at 3? :rotflmbo:

 

when should i start potty training?
when should we start trying for baby #3?
how do i get the girls weaned off of tv after having it on all the time for illness/teething?

 

Throwing food from highchairs & doing the windshieldwiper moves afterwards on the highchair tray

What are we going to do after highchairs? Our table is counter height with barstools. We have a toddler table & chairs but won't eat together.

How can I keep my calm more often? I've been losing it too often.

 

Why wont they eat?
Am I doing this (parenting) right?!?
How are they, me and the grandparents going to handle when DH and I are in Hawaii for 8 days?

 

We have a pub-height table too and we use boosters. Target sells tall chairs if you need something with a back to put them in.

 

Right now:
1. When will my kids finally be fully potty trained?
2. Are they learning enough from me?
3. How to get them to stop irritating each other?

 

-curbing the biting spell that's going on here - hopefully it will resolve on it's own once the teeth break through?
-finding fun things to do together and enjoying each day
-weight gain in my son who is in the 3rd percentile

 

1. Am I doing the switch to toddler beds too soon (next week because that is when the beds arrive)? How is this going to work???

2. How am I going to afford preschool? How am I going to get them potty trained before preschool when they are at daycare five days a week and she won't help them???

3. Why do I let ds' inconsolable meltdowns drive me over the edge and into the land of yelling and screeching? Will he just keep stubbornly refusing to "get over it" and am I making it worse by feeding him with negative attention???

 

Am I feeding the boys enough at mealtimes?
When are they going to talk more (am I doing enough to help this along)?
Am I doing the right things as far as discipline goes, are we far too lax?

 

1. Are the boys going to catch the strep throat I have apparently been harboring since last Thursday? I just got meds today!

2. When are we going to finish clearing out the garage? The boys need a place to ride their tricycles!

3. Is it too early to worry about Preschool? They'll be 2 next month and so far neither of us are working but they want to learn so much!!! I'm afraid I can't keep up.

 

1. finding safe places for them to play
2. figuring out their new, one-nap schedule
3. potty training... it's too soon, but I'm worried about it already

 

Oh wow, these could have been my three as well!

 

1. How am I going to deal with their eating issues right now.
2. Will my older daughter ever start staying in her room all night.
3. Do I spend enough time with my boys.

 

1.Why is DS1 so frustrated all the time?
2.How to stop them from pushing off the table from their booster chairs!?
3.Calming my temper....it's a mix of hormones and an already short fuse...luckily I haven't snapped yet! I can't bear to think of yelling at them but I know its going to happen!

 

Am I doing enough with them as far as teaching new words and things goes?
Not being able to entertain them all day long, every day ... I think they're bored.
Hoping this seperation/stranger (even thought it's really family) anxiety phase ends soon!
