I Really Hope the [Kids] are alright

Yoooo, exactly the same here. It takes soooo much patience.
No, my kid is silent and a mischief engine. That's hard to stop unless they're locked down into a single space, and even then chaos options are nearly endless.
My daughter has been that age since she was like 1.
I assume it will a lot more annoying when she enters the asking questions all the time phase.

It's not.

TW: Dad, can I have goldfish? Can I have some more? Can I have some more? Can I...
MG: Dad, dad...dad, look! Look dad! Look at my legs, dad! (Sure enough, they're...legs)
LM: Dad, what time is it...again? And where are we...do you think? And are we almost home yet? And when we get home...
So far Athena has been pretty consistent talking about the same named people and at some point I was in her tummy! I didn't ask if it was me me or past me.
My 3 year old keeps telling us that she brushed her teeth a million years ago. Does that count?
There needs to be a triage priority instead of implicit parent-shaming for not being able to do 60 minutes of necessary stuff in the hard 15 minute window
And I’m not even the parent that is breast feeding while having a giant hole in her uterus
Got to remind myself that this isn’t actually failure.

My actual brain knows this.
My “but we shouldn’t give it to him unless necessary” brain is stupid and hasn’t had enough sleep.
ETA: to clarify, medicine is good! Always just fretting if he needs painkillers, or just has gas, or is unhappy it’s not playtime any more, or, or… ; don’t want to be trying to fix the wrong thing.
Hopefully it’s easier when they can talk?
On the plus side, we were repaid for our hubris with a blowout diaper this morning.

That's tough to work through, but Tylenol and Ibuprofen isn't failure. They were made to make kids feel better. Also, it may make you feel better to know my kids drank gallons of both while teething.
Some kids teeth harder than others.
For me first child was like "oh we will soothe him with lavender and organic pillows made of the finest wools" and second child led to things in my search history like "is it ok to give a child anti-histamine just so it goes the fuck to sleep".
My kids were at grandma's house this weekend, and on Sunday, my son wasn't wearing a diaper. I've been trying to push him in this direction for a while and he's been really good about sitting down and using his toilet. But the moment I tried pulling up his underwear without a diaper, he went into a frenzied panic attack.
So what changed? Apparently the were at the YMCA and another grandma was their with her grandson of about the same age. The ladies were talking and the other woman politely told my son that boys his age don't need to wear diapers. That was it. He literally said, "OK" and was cool all day without wearing a diaper. When he felt the urge to pee, he asked to go to the bathroom. He did have a poop accident, but that's to be expected.
But, WTF? How does this wise old YMCA woman do what I cannot? Probably because she's a stranger and not a parent. Regardless, are we actually nearing the end of the diaper phase?! HYPE!

It's so much easier to do things when you can just cut out 3/4 of your logistics train.

Social Cues and or pressure is real. My daughter just decided to start using the potty because the big kids at daycare did and she wanted to be like them.
So, potty training complete? Job well done, right?
Right?
Well congratulations anyway, it's a great first step.
The separation anxiety makes sense, I had very very bad separation anxiety when I was little. I feel like daycare helped my older one out of his separation anxiety but that was pre-pandemic and I'm not super comfortable (either emotionally or financially) with setting up the 3 year old with daycare.
There may also be several steps around pools of liquid on the floor.
There's a big difference between knowing that it's a gross thing to go through, without that also translating into the kid not being gross.
That was badly worded.
There's a lot of stuff out there right now about how periods aren't gross, they're natural and beautiful. And sure the idea and the process and the "wow generating life" might be theoretically beautiful, but the actual act of the whole thing can be quite gross.
Your kid isn't broken of they think the whole thing is a bit yuck. It is. But that doesn't mean that they are yuck. Just the whole process is.
I was 13, about to have my Bat mitzvah, and so was ready.
Go through some sustainable options with them, reusable pads and undies exist and are pretty easy to take care of. Moon cups are also a thing, but I'm not sure I'd love that if I wasn't even 11 yet.
Good luck, friend

Ours has had bronchitis twice and a middle ear infection within a month. At least she's gotten used to the inhaler.

Yeah, this is one hundred percent true. Every pediatric patient I have has a cold right now.
His nursery currently has a sickness/diarrhoea outbreak too.
We all got RSV basically the moment the mask mandates lifted. To quote Mrs Red Robe, "This sucks and I'd rather have had Covid again."
…..same, you’re in Columbus too, right?
Completely forgot we'd start paying for it soon.
Also got an estimate of how much the next cycle would cost.
Kids are expensive!
Cincinnati, last time I lived in Cbus was 2009 (yikes where has the time gone?).
