ACK My baby isnt a baby anymore...

[Naked Hunny]

My sweet little snickerdoodle is turning one on Sunday and im having an anxiety attack because of it. Her first day of daycare was bad enough but now my baby isnt a baby anymore, Shes a toddler. Before i know it my baby will be in Kindergarten, Dating, having sex(if i dont have her locked in her bedroom), getting married. Am i being stupid here or what?

Excuse me everyone *slaps Mr.Toad on the chest and starts beating him upside the head* I make a serious thread and you have to make an ass out of me what the hell is your fucking problem Todd?

I feel for ya babe

She'll always be your baby, she just won't like it as much as you do. You may miss the baby, but you'll adore meeting the toddler, the kindergartner, the preadolescent, the teenager, and finally the woman. You'll love them as much, maybe more, than you love the baby. You can still hold her in your arms, it just won't smell like babypowder and diaper presents.

did you want me to go with the other option and call you stupid then? I thought or waht was the most diplomatic approach

 

[Naked Hunny]

For someone who loves me you sure as hell dont make me feel loved wheres my words of encouragement. Take a hint from KillerMuffin, sweetie!!

Oh Nekkie, a worthwhile piece of advice. Learn to say NO! in that perfect momma means business tone. You are really going to need it...

I'd have to say,,,

That you are just being a mom,,,

And if a dad can relate for ya,,, you will enjoy ( for the most part ) every stage that your baby goes through in life,,, EXCEPT for the years 11 thru 17,,, at which point you will seriously consider locking that child in their room without benefit of a phone,,, (big sappy slapstick grin here )
even after 2 years have passed since my youngest graduated high school,,, and even though she is a star college student now,,, I still have the shivers whenever I remember her teen years,,, (Big shudder here )
So what's a mom to do ??!!?? show love and compassion as often as possible,,, and as KillerMuffin says,,, learn to say no, and learn to enforce that no word

Yeah, and back up the NO with some force. Just yelling won't accomplish anything. You have to be willing to back up what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm not a "real" mom, but I've observed enough parents, and I'm a kitty mom. The same rules that apply to kitties apply to kids.

I understand how you feel and you are not being stupid. My little girl turned two last month and sometime between then and now she went from being my Princess to my Tiny Toddler Terrorist.

Take plenty of pictures and write everything down in the babybook or a journal. That is the way you will get to cuddle your baby in another yes when all she does is squirm off your lap.
