Telling a child to shut up

Would you consider telling your one year old son to shut up verbal abuse?

My husband and I are in agreement that it’s not appropriate, but he says I’m exaggerating by saying it’s abuse. Looking for other’s perspectives.

ETA: it was early in the morning and he was crying. Dad wanted to go back to sleep. He groaned and said “will you just shut up?” It was a very neutral tone.

3 year old + tampons

My daughter (3) found tampons and asked me what they were. I was honest. They’re used on your period and go inside of your vagina to absorb the tissue and uterine lining that you bleed out during your menstruation. She knows what a period is, she’s seen my pads. I rarely use tampons and have never used one in front of her. She consistently is asking to use one and wants to put it in her vagina. I have explained that she hasn’t reached puberty yet so not only does she not need one, but it isn’t safe. I feel like I’ve traumatized her or something though by explaining it and now she keeps asking to use one. She doesn’t seem upset by it at all, but she’s mad I won’t let her use one. We’ve done “experiments” of putting them in water bottles and I let her explore the tampon without actually inserting it. What else should I be doing? I feel bad. Please be kind

Confused 29 year old

Hello!! So my friend is waxing my armpits for the first time this weekend, and she told me to exfoliate beforehand. I thought that meant just lotion, but she was like girl.. no. And she sent me some links and explained. This opened a can of worms for me. I don’t use conditioner, I’m not great at washing my face, I want smooth, silky skin and hair and nails and all the things!!!

Can someone please walk me through what I should be doing for my skin and body at 29? Should I be using a wrinkle preventative or what lotions should I be using????? Talk to me like I’m a naive girl that’s never been in a target or Sephora.

Much appreciated and much love ❤️
