Umm...this man is away from home, for 6 days a week, all day. He's the ones that deserves so much. She gets to stay home with her kid and customize her schedule. Staying home with one kid is cake.
The 3s can be worse if you let the little one be in charge. Once they learn Mama loves them but means what she says, they def flourish within boundaries you set. Stick with it and it’ll only get better! 😊
It can be very, very difficult to set boundaries with toddlers. I think I shed more tears than my little girl did but it was definitely worth it! You're not alone having to deal with tantrums! You can do it!😊❤
@@lillynbelle Bratbusters give great advice on setting limits with toddlers, without a lot of fuss or without being overly strict. I enjoyed the channel a lot. Hope it helps..
My kid also had food issues/aversions. What really helped was to all sit down together and eat. Seeing you and dad eat things will encourage him to do the same. Does my kid eat everything? No, but he doest try new foods now and then. Also, i keep on reintroducing foods he did not like and some are now his favorites. Hang in there, you're doing good.
I think 3s are so much fun! They are so curious and ask questions about everything. Sometimes they get upset but if your calm usually they will be calm quickly
I agree, and they understand better so talking to them and explaining things is so much easier…when you tell them no and the reason why they grasp the consequences better in my opinion. I didn’t have a problem with any age actually, you just roll with it mama take the age out of the equation. Parent and go along with it. Treat children like the little people that they are. Have fun with them as it goes by quickly and the next thing you know they are 23-trust me 💟
You’re doing an amazing job mama! I know how exhausting it can be! I have an almost 4 yo boy and I solo parent 8 days at a time bc dada is a pilot. He just got home, thank the Lord! Threes were definitely tougher than twos for us, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m finding him cute again lol. Everyday, tough as mothering is, I’m grateful for my little angel!
My niece ate nothing . A specialist told her parents to give her whatever she will eat…it does not matter…any food is better than nothing. She ate a poor diet….now she’s an exceptionally athletic and smart woman…got maximum results in her high school exams….you are doing great ❤
Including them in the prep can help too. Just letting them watch you make things and telling them what it is makes a picky kid more likely to at least try something
I feel you do a GREAT job doing what is best for you and your family!! You got a lot going on girl! I got 4 so to be 5 year old next month and a 3, and 2 year old that share the same age for a whole month and it's never easy but we do what we can 👑🙏🏽 YOU GOT THIS MAMA ❤
I had a solo night today as well, so happy bedtime went ok and did not take forever. I got time to do my expenses for last month and budget this month and now finally relaxing before going to sleep myself. 😮💨
It will get better my son was nonverbal until almost 3yrs and he had so many meltdowns 😢 but once he picked up language he's talking soooo much! You got this mama!!💕
For me my son was an easy 2 year old but difficult 3 and with my daughter its been the reverse! Since turning 3 she's gotten a lot happier and tantrums have been less :) i think its due to the communication since her speech has gotten so much better since turning 3. Don't lose hope yet! 😂❤
Oh girl I feel you. The solo nights are rough, currently have an almost two year old plus I'm dealing with first trimester nausea, solo nights are killer right now!! Sending you and the fam good vibes, I'm sure your fiance is exhausted too!
Having raised 2 kids with ARFID I know how hard it is. I think it is important that kids see adults enjoying a variety of foods (without any pressure to try them). Even if you aren’t eating the same foods I recommend you eat at the same time as Deacon as often as possible
Contrary to popular belief, toddlers do not need a lot of food. Their stomach is roughly the size of their two fists put together so it’s not worth stressing about how much they’re eating. As they grow, it gets better. ♥️
It gets better.....dont listen to negativity and preconceived notions that the 3s are worse. He may reach a milestone and all will start to calm down. Keep it up!
Before my toddler started speaking more consistently, it was definitely mentally and emotionally exhausting getting through a day with him. We came home with his new baby brother and his vocabulary exploded! It was SO nice 😅. So far I feel like age 3 has been easier than 2 because of the vocabulary difference. He’ll be 4 by the end of the summer. You got this!
@@meganouelete7509 “terrible 2/3’s” is definitely one of my parenting pet peeves. I hope most people mean it as just a difficult phase in child development for the parent to deal with but it tends to sound so much more negative.
@@hadassahatkins3680 yes exactly! I think any stage can be difficult and it’s good to try and be positive and not scare people before they even enter that stage. 😊 I’m just entering the twos now and I’m hoping with better communication things get easier too.
@@meganouelete7509 Aside from the vocabulary struggle (it was like knew the words but was too stubborn to actually speak them, and it was easier for me to just get him what he wanted because I knew what he wanted because of our routine, instead of making him speak the words) I thoroughly enjoyed my two-year-old. I got him outside every day, I loved watching him start walking around and throwing the ball for the puppies and just wondering around our property; in general it was really nice!
@@meganouelete7509 3 yrs old for me, has been difficult in that I am teaching my son to identify his emotions and trying very hard to teach him how to manage those emotions healthily. The part of that that’s difficult is age appropriate ways for him to have healthy coping skills. I was not taught those skills until I was an adult and so that’s been rough for me personally.
The 3s are harder for me at the moment. Navigating teaching him that what we as parents say is what’s gonna happen is very hard and comes with lots of emotions. But I’m sure it’ll get better just as all other phases do. Your a great mama!! Now just if this Ohio weather cools down a bit so we can play outside more ! lol
Try ASL. Deacon is not too old to be taught. That way the communication could be better. Can not imagine being afraid of your toddler. Have you consulted with your Pediatrician about this? Perhaps they could help. 😢😊❤
This solo parenting thing is a joke, solo parenting is when you live daily without support financially and emotionally. There is a plethora of people out there who live it on a regular schedule. You are only solo parenting while he’s working
If you can’t get him into speech yet maybe simple sign language would help or picture cards. Once my toddler was able to communicate the tantrums got way better!!!
Don’t worry too much about the age I have 2 boys under 6 and my 6 year old and the worst tantrums 1-3 but once we found out he had ASD, he started speech, OT, ABA the 4-6’s became way better. You learn your child as you go too and as they get older you get more confident in parenting which helps too
My son is the same age as deacon maybe a few months younger but I wouldn’t worry about his speech this young. Boys tend to take a little longer and that’s ok. I can barely understand my son at times he resorts to lots of tantrums where as my first spoke very early on. They’re all on their own learning journey so I don’t compare his success with hers. Go little Deacon and mama 🎉
For me the 3s were so much worse in terms of tantrums BUT my son is autistic so that plays a big role because he over stimulates so fast! He's 4 now and he's calmed down so much! My daughter is 6 months and I'm getting ready to do it all over again! Lol My birthday is late August too! What day is Deacons birthday?
And you stood and ate at the counter. I am so confused. Of course your kid won't eat! You never let him even see you eat. Sit at a dinner table with no TV and let him crawl up on a chair and witness you eat. I am starting to think you are doing this for attention. It's really sad.
I have 2 grown sons, and my husband worked sooo many hours, making me almost a single mom. I totally understand how it is for you! PS My sons are now 34 and 37.. !!!!!!!
Solo parenting is not for the faint of heart. I'm one of them too. Husband works 12-14 hours day and lately has been only taking half days off. It's rough. But I hate to say 4's are worse than 3's. I'm in the thick of it too.
What did you make for yourself? It looks cheesy and delicious ❤ Also, great job focusing on trying to get food in your baby boy, I hope he comes around, and you gain a lot of knowledge on how to tackle his eating aversions! I know not every child is the same so what worked for me, might not work for you but I want to commend you for putting it all out there for everyone to see, I could never
Girl I just got through the threes with my first born - it was bad but he also got super sweet for some reason….so after a tantrum he’d come cuddle or just tell me he loved me randomly…it’s not terrible (at least wasn’t for me) 2 was way worse lol my middle child is giving me ISSUES and he’ll be two in August 😂
Yoy can hope for that...and girl i hope for that for you too but i have 3 kids the 2s were a breeze compared to the 3s my youngest is 3 now and shes a nightmare on wheel lol
Age 3 &4 was so much harder for me than age 2…. It’s all the big emotions in such little bodies…. I have three young kids, my youngest is 15 months, so we will see if it’s the same with her 😂❤
Hey fed is fed we shouldn't care what they eat as long as they eat. I put way too much pressure on what I was feeding my older 2 kids when they were younger. I wish I knew then what I knew now. At some point he will get better at eating different things but for now at least he eats. You're doing a great job keep it up.
Have you tried looking into getting an autism diagnosis? My son just got his about a year ago when he turned 3. And was going through everything deacon was.
@@lillynbelle don’t let people worry you for no reason. Not to say autism is bad in any way, but you don’t always need to throw a label on things, every person and every child is different.
I'm a single mom of 2 boys. Youngest is 6 with adhd he literally acts like 2 yr old. It sounds embarrassing but I'm scared of him. It's very hard on ur own
why do you put all the colors together..towels need a higher temperature-DISINFECTION...just in the US like this you wash everything, it still doesn't disinfect by ironing..horrible..
Perhaps eating with your baby at his level will help model skills and behaviors for him. Remember, each baby is different. Mom with your heart-not by others advice; Not all babies enter terrible threes with horrific behaviors and temper tantrums.
Does it does he get upset when is desert around that time to spend time with my man what’s the come on man is at work and Rocco‘s phone I woke up with i House 😊😊😊😊
How did you manage to potty train your son with that style of bed? I have a two year old and we just finished training but we had to have a regular style bed for him so that he could get up to use the bathroom. Also I had to leave his bedroom door open. I’m so happy he’s done and I bet you are too!
Your fiance better be banking on the OT and treating you to something nice because solo parenting is a job and a half! youre doing great work mama!
It definitely is
I’m doing all of this and still go to work twice a week night shift.
Get about 3 hours of sleep before doing mom life again

Maybe try decreasing milk intake (water instead) might help his appetite for food?
I was thinking the same

Instead of giving him milk all the time give him water in his cup. He is filling up on milk
