This is my little one’s preferred pooping place too lol

mommit
I am okay now, thank you! We both took a really long shower until the water went cold.
7,308,904

I'd need therapy I think.

I’ve learned to *always* have a mattress protector even on my bed. They also make small pads that you can put under a child (or even a leaking mom).

mommit
My 2yo mixes up his signs for "more" and "help." He signs help when he wants out of the chair because he's done eating. You can imagine his rage when I bring him more food instead of freedom.
7,308,908
mommit
Hahaha yes! I always let my daughter pick out her clothes because she enjoys it and I think it makes her proud. One day a few weeks ago she insisted on wearing a light breezy dress with sandals and would not wear her jacket in 50 degree weather. So of course I brought it along to the garden where we were walking. About...

I personally am guilty of saying "the other day" when I really mean 3 weeks prior lol

I live in the middle of texas, which makes it worse because my kid doesn’t understand DISTANT!! The beach is 5 hours away.
7,308,912
mommit
Thank you! Me too. My mom is a lovely woman, but she’s got some..quirks.
7,308,913
mommit
Nope, she’s just specifically afraid of choking. She can’t handle it, panics, and runs ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
7,308,914
mommit
My first born always did this too! Usually right after eating. But my 2nd born pooped while eating all the time! Now at almost 7yo he’s known to do this at least during one meal a day. Middle of the meal gets up and goes to the bathroom.
7,308,915
mommit
One of those pads saved my mattress when my water broke in bed. And the carpet (mostly) as I waddled to the bathroom with it between my legs.
7,308,916
mommit
Agreed! In this case it was pretty extreme and it had gone through the mattress protector in one area, possibly where there was damage.
7,308,917

"The other day" is anywhere from 3 days ago to 2005

Okay yeah no beach promises I was expecting a costal state wth

My mom is the same way-she *reacts*, and not always responsibly or appropriately, instead of *responding*. I have a kid with epilepsy and she use to run off to find a spoon to put in her mouth so she wouldn’t choke on her tongue. THAT IS NOT A THING AND IS DANGEROUS. What mom should have done was keep my kid safe. Mom ...
7,308,920
mommit
Also… how does she know you don’t have a toddler at home as well?
7,308,921

Should have said, "maybe you need to see a pediatrician cuz you are acting very childish throwing your opinions around where they aren't needed."

At this point in the pandemic and being a parent of 2 under 2 id say fuck it and fight her lol. I’m sure you’ve tried it all but the plum organics prune pouch are like instant poop makers for my 22 mo and 6.5 mo way more than juice ever was (for my oldest my youngest hasn’t needed juice since we never had luck with ...
7,308,923
mommit
I am just blown away by people who think it’s ok to make these nasty comments. I can’t imagine seeing a mom in the store with her baby buying juice and being so enraged you had to yell at her?! What an absolute psycho! I hope your baby feels better soon!
7,308,924
mommit
I’m your alibi. Do what you have to do. We were crocheting and cackling about rotten baby teeth the whole time.
7,308,925
mommit
“Well I’ll give that all the consideration I feel it deserves”
7,308,926
mommit
People like that are insane. Wtf. I once had a woman stop me in the formula aisle and tell me I deserved to have my baby taken away from me for poisoning them with formula.
7,308,927
mommit
She needs some of those pear juice to pump the shittiness out of her.
7,308,928
mommit
Thank you everyone for all the suggestions! We have tried the prune pouches, bananas & citrus fruits. We tried moms bliss, the mom frida & the pediatrician gave her a suppository without any relief other than a few rabbit pebbles.
7,308,929
mommit
I'd almost think you made this up because it's just so so stupid. If I saw someone buying a bike with a baby in their arms, I wouldn't just assume the bike was for the baby. How does she know you don't have a toddler at home? Most people don't act this way. Quite frankly, most people don't actually care. But hey, du...
7,308,930
mommit
I'd have to hold myself back from opening the pear juice and tossing it on her.
7,308,931
mommit
I would have politely said with a straight face, "Okay, then would you be so kind as to think of a solution to rid this uncomfortable child of all the poo that he/she cannot pass?"
7,308,932
mommit
I'm way too pregnant to be dealing with people like that We would've had it out right there in the aisle.
7,308,933
mommit
Yeah I would have told her to mind her fucking business because one day someone won’t be as nice as me and rock her shit. Also I hope your little one is doing well!

The Lion, The Witch and the Audacity of That Bitch!

Omg these are the people I like to push their buttons. I would have told her that I ran out of Mountain Dew and amazing was late delivering my shipment for the month, so needed to find a quick back up.
7,308,936
mommit
That is terrible! I am so sorry that happened. Have you tried oranges? They worked really well at this age for my baby. I would cut them into teeny tiny pieces and try and remove most of the membrane. He loved them and it was maybe a 3 hour orange to poop window. We had to decide to only give them to him in the morn...
7,308,937
mommit
How does she know you don’t have more kids at home? Like what ta fuck. My kids do really well with avocado smoothies when they get constipation.
7,308,938
mommit
When I was really young with my first baby, a older lady did something very similar to me in a store..I was so embarrassed & got my feelings hurt..I wanted to crawl up in a ball & literally hide. Fast forward 10 years & 3 kids later, it would be the highlight of my week to get into a altercation with a Karen for some s...
7,308,939
mommit
And you could have a toddler at home for all she knows
7,308,940
mommit
Well….we as women need to stop saying “Thank you” and “sorry” for everything. Don’t thank someone for behaving that way toward you. She was not concerned. Nobody who is concerned for someone else is simultaneously disrespecting them. A LOT of people use disrespect to convey passion for something or concern and they’re ...
7,308,941
mommit
Y’all that lady would have had that juice shoved into her pie hole. Lol
7,308,942
mommit
That is a bored fucking woman right there. Must suck to have nothing better to do than peruse the baby aisle spouting out non-solicited bullshit. Sorry you had to deal with that. And sorry for her that her life is so miserable this is what she does with her day.
7,308,943
mommit
People at grocery stores are the worst!! I was told that my daughters green sandales are too masculine and I meet to get her girl sandales!! Also if LO doesn’t like the juice we’ve had fantastic success with watermelon to clear constipation. Almost too good because now we have to limit watermelon or she has dirty dia...
7,308,944
mommit
Lol how would that lady even know who you were shopping for. Crazy
7,308,945
mommit
Oh my goodness, 7 days poor baby. I hope she is feeling better soon. My husband says I have RBF so I have never had someone approach me in the grocery store about anything but I could not imagine what possesses people to do or say those kinds of things.

Hi friend! My premature baby was given very small amounts of pear juice (2-10mL) with each feeding BEFORE HER DUE DATE and we gave her small amounts of pear juice in her bottles of breastmilk off and on until she was about 9 months old. She had it for a while, we weaned her off, then got her back on when we introduced...
7,308,947
mommit
Im of the mood that unless there is an obvious and vital safety issue (ie things like car seat straps too loose) keep your mouth shut about how others parent. There are parents who would lose their shit that i give my daughter sugar and chocolate when I have it and that she watches disney movies with me... but it's not...
7,308,948
mommit
I would have been like “bitch how do you know if I have older kids or not, or if I’m buying juice for myself or my husband or partner? How is it any of your business why I am buying juice?”
7,308,949
mommit
How the heck does she know you don’t have a toddler at home? Uhhh very bold and mean of her
7,308,950
mommit
We had to give a couple ounces of apple/prune juice when kiddo was only like 2-3 months old bc she just wasn't pooping much. Turned out she just like really efficiently digested breast milk so there wasn't much waste. Once she started solids and the real shit started it was shocking. That said... I'm only judgin...
7,308,951

Oh Jesus take the wheel, I would've been so fucking livid. Screw that ignorant ol' bitch.

Just pull out the Bobby “hey! That’s my purse! I don’t know you!”
7,308,953
mommit
I think it's totally ok to drop an F bomb in this type of situation. I can't even imagine thinking it's ok to throw your opinion at a complete stranger like that.
7,308,954
mommit
This has yet to happen to me and I'm not a violent person, but reading this made me want to punch this woman in the face. I know the day will come when it happens to me and I hope I'm ready with a scathing retort.
7,308,955
mommit
I probably would have asked her the same… “Are you illiterate? This aisle clearly says MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS right along with every other aisle you see me on with my CHILD!”
7,308,956
mommit
Omg I’m so sorry that happened to you!! People really need to mind their business. It literally costs nothing to just be silent.
7,308,957
mommit
My daughter had terrible constipation problems. Constipation Ease by Mommys bliss worked super well for us and then a couple times we had to resort to an enema, and I'd just use half of a child's one (with pediatrician approval). The constipation ease is basically just concentrated prune juice and I'd put it in her bot...
7,308,958
mommit
Omg. My son had some major constipation issues and has been on pear or prune juice since he was about a year. He is 2.5 and all of his teeth are healthy and still in his head. You need to do what you need to do and some juice will definitely not hurt!
7,308,959
mommit
Wow. I wouldn’t have even engaged in a convo with her. Walk away. Walk away. I’m a mom of 3 and I only give advice when asked. She was very rude.
7,308,960
mommit
I would’ve told her the juice was for me. I prefer toddler juices to adult juices.
7,308,961
mommit
You’re better than me. Security would have been called to pull me away from her. Mind your business
7,308,962
mommit
Pear juice is amazing for constipation, it’s actually what a lot of bariatric patients use. There are always going to sanctimonious twatmuffins around, your answer was fine. Next time, look at the person, then pat down your pockets or bag and then look at them and say “huh, I can’t seem to find where I asked for your...
7,308,963
mommit
FWIW, your doctor is right. We gave our son pear juice anytime he was a bit constipated and it worked like a charm. He didn’t need a ton of it, and he actually enjoyed the flavor unlike the prune juice I couldn’t get him to drink. Some people are idiots and can’t handle anyone thinking something other than what they be...
7,308,964
mommit
Totally agree with the sentiment. Also, our youngest had lots of constipation issues her first year. Applesauce was a real go getter to move things along as well. And if all else fails they make little like enema syringes that put a lot of lube and a stimulant in. When we were at critical mass that always would work...

I have basically had to start making all of my baby food with pear juice or the little guy is miserable. He eats a LOT of the Ps… pears, peas, and prunes.
7,308,969
mommit
I’m blown away that someone would even do that. People suck.

And how would she know you weren't buying it for your toddler that happened to not be with you? You know what they say about when you assume...
7,308,971
mommit
That’s not even a parenting comment, just plain nasty … I’m gonna drink it myself, thank you for your concern
7,308,972
mommit
Totally agree with pear juice! It will get things moving again lol
7,308,973
mommit
Yea, please moms, don't degrade and put down other moms just trying to do their best. An overwhelmed mom is much different than a neglectful or abusive one.
7,308,974
mommit
I cuss people out bc mind your business when it comes to my babies
7,308,975
mommit
What if you were getting it for yourself? Another kid? Your partner? WTF is up with the judgement from some people? You’re doing the best you can!
7,308,976
mommit
What the fuck is wrong with people. Jesus christ.....do people still know you can think something and NOT say it. I always wonder what I would do in these situations, would love to know I would give a mouthful right back but I may be too shocked to reply in the face of that much audacity

I had a moment the other day where someone commented on my parenting. My LO is big enough to be front facing in her carrier and I was adjusting her in the seat. Some stranger comes up to me and was like “aren’t you concerned it’s cutting into her neck?” No? Because if she was uncomfortable she would let me know. Bub ...

7,308,979
mommit
How has this person got the time to even notice this whole package of information. I wouldn’t have a clue what others around me a browsing let alone relating it to them or their assumed situation and then judging them for it and then feeling the need to share that judgement. Wtaf!
7,308,980
mommit
Poor baby. I hope she was able to go after you gave her some juice. Prune juice (diluted) will also work. My daughter used to suffer from severe constipation as a baby too. Once she passes that poop, get you some rest too, mama. I know - it can be exhausting for parent and baby. Take care.

mommit
My babe has needed gerber pear juice on and off since 2 mos (he’s going on 9 mos) for occasional constipation He has never imploded and it has only ever helped within hours giving my little one relief. Clearly she does not know as much as she thinks she does
7,308,987
mommit
I noticed that once you are pregnant and especially as you go on, the out of left field comments start. Everyone feels free to offer advice. Like rheu know better than you. Fuck those people. On the plus side? It dies down in elementary school.
7,308,988
mommit
I just smile and look at them without saying anything back. Then go back to whatever I was doing. I might slowly nod, I might not.
7,308,989
mommit
You could have easily had older kids at home! Wow. Such rude comments.
7,308,990

I don't think this is necessarily a common issue but this woman is just an asshole. So sorry that this happened to you ! I've gotten dirty looks but never someone approach me....she didn't even deserve a response from you.
7,308,992
mommit
My 2.5 year old had prune juice in his formula from about 6m to 12m. It worked wonders keeping him regular! He would get so backed up without it. It's a common treatment for constipated babies, so she can fuck off. How rude.
7,308,993
mommit
I hope I’m not over stepping Have you tried puréed prunes? Or prune juice mixed with water? Both my kids had constipation issues as babies, then later as toddlers. Prunes helped. Also Fuck that lady. Moms gotta do what a moms gotta do to get the babe to poop, and anything else that needs to be done. When my kiddo...

Ugh moms like her are the worst! Had similar situation with my son and we had to add juice to his formula for over a month to get him feeling better and flowing again. He’s 15 months now and no rotten teeth, you know your baby. Other parents like this make me worried about when my little guy goes to school… I don’t w...

Ugh. Reminds me of when I had taken my baby out for a full morning of fun/sight seeing and had him on the bus in the stroller for a carefully timed afternoon nap.

OMG I hate unsolicited parenting advice so much. I was in a deli once with my son, he was probably about 3 or 4. There was an ATM in the store and he wanted to "press the green button."

For some reason there are sometimes random judgmental people at the store.
