How to reconnect with my 4yo daughter?

Since my son was born, I've dedicated almost all of my time to caring for him because he's medically complex and has significant disabilities. As a result, my husband has become our daughter's primary caregiver for the past 2 years.

My daughter is a very sensitive and strong-willed child. Lately, she rejects me constantly. She tells me, "Go away," "I don't want Mommy," "I want Daddy," and "No Mommy." I want to rebuild our relationship, but I don't know how when she doesn't even want to be around me. If I try to insist on playing with her, she'll usually have a meltdown, and I don't want to force interactions that make her feel worse. I'd love to spend more one-on-one time with her, but there are two big challenges:

- My husband isn't medically trained to care for my son for long periods, so it's difficult for me to consistently carve out dedicated time with my daughter. I'm worried that only seeing her one-on-one occasionally won't be enough to rebuild our bond. She has a very strong sense of order and routine: since Dad has been the one with her on so many activities, she'd prefer Dad continues to do so instead of a different person.

- She doesn't want me right now, so I don't even know how to gently reconnect. How do you rebuild trust and closeness with a child who keeps asking for the other parent?

lid stoppers

Haven't seen those at the stores I went to recently... are they gone? I actually have been reusing one I got years ago (lmao not sure if it's even reusable and it broke recently) and now can't find a new one.

How often does it happen they change their delivery date at will?

This happens to me almost every purchase now… when I place the order it says overnight delivery expected next morning. And after paying, I go to order page and it’s to be delivered the day after… some times they arrive earlier than that, some times they don’t and are even later. This consistently happening is basically false advertising now. I feel totally lied to as a decade old prime member.

Sudden burst of spams not being filtered by Gmail

https://preview.redd.it/ic5sqsgpf35h1.png?width=2290&format=png&auto=webp&s=22fcabdd5ecc242e3727114a04e30c8cc5b694b2

For the past few weeks, I've been getting a steady stream of obvious spam emails every day, and Gmail isn't filtering them out. I have to manually delete or mark them as spam constantly. I'm assuming my email address was leaked in a data breach or sold/shared by an online merchant at some point. What's confusing is that even after repeatedly marking these emails as spam for days, Gmail still keeps delivering similar messages straight to my inbox. These seem like pretty clear spam emails. Why isn't Gmail catching them automatically? Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there anything I can do besides manually reporting them every day?

Smooth Sip Slide lid durability

Managed to get this special edition from a retailer! So far loving it! For those of you use this tumbler regularly - do you worry about the durability of the sliding mechanism? To take it off for cleaning and put it back on requires some forces and I worry the plastic will wear out pretty quickly for daily use. Do they have warranty or replacement parts?

Received counterfeit Apple product

First time received counterfeit product... I've requested return with detailed notes, but I actually didn't see an option as reporting counterfeit products. I provided the product picture and serial number (apparently a copy, and it shows coverage expires. AND apple.com saying this SN is being replaced.) Response is delayed given the holiday weekend, but are they good at handling these things? Anything else I should prepare for the dispute?

Hi guys!!! This would be a significant purchase for me, so I want to make sure I actually like writing with it before committing. The problem is there's no boutique near me (CO, USA) and I'm also afraid of counterfeits since this is supposedly the most-faked brand out there.

What are my options for trying one before buying?

Any good YouTube channels or content creators focused on Montblanc reviews/buying guides? I've been searching but keep landing on either very broad brand overviews or limited edition showcase videos. Looking for something more practical and in-depth.
