femi`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll My daughter is 14 months, growing all four molars at the same, and super whiny and cranky all the time. I teach and deal with whiny children all day so that by the time I get home, my patience has worn thin, unfortunately. I find myself really frustrated with how cranky she is and how many little tantrums she throws during the day. Will this end? Will I ever feel normal again? I long for my carefree teenage days often now. Are her tantrums going to get better? Sometimes I feel this is her personality but I know she is a bubbly, bright, smily girl and not this cranky, whiny, tantrum-throwing toddler. I often think about having only one kid.

No, if that's her personality, she may continue to be cranky/whiny, etc ........
Yes, it's just a phase ...

Don`t worry, I promise you it will get better!!! You sound EXACTLY like me a couple of months ago when my daughter was getting her back teeth -- she was so awful that I thought, that`s it, my lovely bubbly happy daughter is no longer so! Her personality is completely changed! And it wa so difficult, I really thought that`s it she`ll never be herself again!!! She was so cranky and throwing fits and slapping us we hadn`t a clue what to do with her. Then suddenly she turned a corner and she was back to her lovely self, giving kisses, hugs and smiles galore! Good luck, things will change xx

My LO is getting her molars too and isn`t bad yet at all, I`m really shocked, but only one has come in, so it might get worse later for us. Hang in there, it is really hard, but I`m sure it will pass. I`ve heard the baby Orajel stuff can help...at least for a little while to help during the day or to help put her to sleep for bedtime. For me when I have rough moments like this it helps me find so much gratitude for my parents, for all they`ve put up with me for, without me even knowing. It seems superhuman sometimes, especially that they don`t ever bring it up later to make me feel guilty (they always did that when I was a teen). I have so much more respect for them, and it gives me courage to keep pushing through it, even when its rough. Hang in there, it`ll be okay. :)

She is fussy because she is in pain :( Molars hurt!! I would give her motrin and love and hugs and put the `other` kids out of your mind and focus on her when you get home ~ even if you are worn out from fussing, she is in pain and needs you to sooth her unconditionally ((hugs))

She`s just really uncomfortable. Try and remember that not only is she feeling her teeth come in but most likely it`s also affecting her sleep. This will make her 10 times worse. And if it`s not just a phase then just remember your first two kids are usually polar opposites so if you were to have another they would be a complete angel. just kidding you will both be ok.

My oldest is in a real funk right now too (she`s not teething, just 5 lol) and I was complaining to my mom `when is this ***ing phase going to end?` and she said (and it`s so true) `right about when you think you can`t take anymore`. Which is what always happens- she`ll be your bubbly little girl again soon - So hang in there! It will pass ;)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
