Okay yes. I know. "You're the parent she's the child just get her to do it anyway"

Or the "give her options so it gives her a sense of control!"

Yes. I do it. I've done it. I've talked her through it. I told her we had to calmly, I gave her options, and I refuse to take no as an answer. She's turning 4 in 5 months, but I'm genuinely at my wits end with her crying and screaming not getting her way. I make her do it anyway, she cries. I give her options, she just says no. I tell her she has to pick, she just screams and says no. I tell her, I'll pick if she doesn't, she defies every way she can. It's done because it needs to be, she's still upset hours after. She's always crying. I am calm with her. I get to her level and I say "I understand you don't want to but we have to" and she doesn't care at all. I put her on timeout for being bad, she just cries more. It's nonstop. Every single piece of advice I've been given or read just ends in her crying. No, I don't give in, because I don't want her to become a brat by getting things for crying, but genuinely: how do I stop this?

Basically I cannot stand eroguro in any way, to me I see it as basically just porn. I need some new horror recommendations please. I already read most of junji itos works so maybe something different!! Thank you!

I feel trapped. I'm 18 and my daughter is 3. I love her to bits but I'm stressed to all hell. I don't have any parents to help, because I live with my mom, and she doesn't want to watch her extra time because she already watches her while I'm at school, but I'm at my wits end. I need time off. Away from my daughter. For a whole day. No uncles, no aunts, no grandmas or grandpas, no cousins or sisters or brothers to help. I'm alone aside from my own mom and stepdad, and my stepdad works and my mom already said no. I think I'm gonna snap if I don't get some time off soon. Maybe I'm just selfish and desperate though, and this is just what motherhood is.

Edit: thank you everyone who replied! I'm sorry if I didn't get back to you. You all gave me ideas I never knew were even options. I am for sure going to be looking at YMCA, neighbors, and trustworthy students at my school who would want to babysit for a little.

Daughter is 3. I live with my parents right now and they watch her when I'm busy with school. Now when I come home to my daughter, she's a total brat. She cries for what she wants and I usually try to redirect her or if she's in a really bad mood, I leave her be and tell her she can't have what she wants for xyz reason.

If she wants a cookie for breakfast I tell her no, but with grandparents, she gets it if she just cries. If she refuses to go potty and she pees her undies I change her undies and get a new pair on her..my parents? They'll just put her in a diaper. I don't let her have a binkie but guess what she gets when I'm not around, even if I toss them?

The list goes on and on. And now, they're finally seeing the consequences to giving her whatever she wants and teaching her that crying will get her anything, and they're blaming ME. But they ALSO yell at me when I try to fix the behavior. I'm trapped. I don't want a brat. I want to fix what they've done but I feel like it's a brick wall because no matter what I do, they'll yell at me for it and threaten my things.

I cannot leave, btw, so that won't help. I need a way to fix her behavior without risking getting kicked out for simply disagreeing with how they're doing things. HELP BEFORE I RIP MY HAIR OUT AND SCREAM BLOODY MURDER

I cried so hard. I feel so stupid for crying, too. I see stories of liberated women who were happy to get it done.

But I cried. I didn't want an abortion, but my financial situation didn't let it be. I was with my bf with the pill in my hand, and I cried for half an hour before I could bring myself to take it finally. I feel so guilty. I have a daughter, she's only 3, and she saw me crying; she was so concerned for mommy. That made it so much worse. What if she wouldve been a good big sister? My bf comforted me the best he could, but he simply didn't feel the same. I loved my baby. I didn't want to do it. But a pregnancy is high risk for me anyway, aside from the financial situation and my home situation. It all was bad timing. Did you cry for your baby?

Hi. This is half a vent and half a question post. I'm 18 and did dumb shit with my bf. I forgot my birth control for two days and thought "it'll be fine what're the chances two days would get me pregnant?" Well I was wrong and now I'm pregnant. I wanna get an abortion through aidaccess but I don't know how to be discreet. My family is very anti abortion, so if they found my pills in the mail before I do, I'd be screwed. Help.
