7,309,201 | mommit | Haha! Mine cries the instant he is the tiniest bit wet. But if he’s sitting in poop, he’s smiling! |
7,309,202 | mommit | Mine is like this too lol. So annoying |
7,309,203 | mommit | Go outside was our final solution as well. If the sudden change in temperature, humidity, and distracting setting changes didn't work, we were screwed. |
7,309,204 | mommit | Yes! After trying the basics (hungry, tired, too hot/cold, uncomfortable), one of these almost always works, for all ages. |
7,309,205 | mommit | Mine too! I actually made this meme while our baby was screaming in my husband’s face for sitting down because his arms were too tired to do it anymore. |
7,309,206 | mommit | And BOUNCE!!! |
7,309,207 | mommit | The toddler club |
7,309,208 | mommit | Yeah I go process of elimination method but it takes time and in the meantime they’re still crying. If it’s 4-5pm with toddler it’s usually nap time cry. The ‘this is uncomfortable’ cry for brushing hair, teeth and putting long sleeves on is an easy tell. |
7,309,209 | mommit | Lol no shame in their game! |
7,309,210 | mommit | Mmm delicious |
7,309,211 | mommit | What about when it goes cold? |
7,309,212 | mommit | She keeps asking me, "do you hear him!? He's crying!!!" Yes mom, I hear him. As I have said about 100 times, we're letting him cry fifteen minutes. |
7,309,213 | mommit | Then it is a cold, wet rag option. |
7,309,214 | mommit | When mine was crying the other day and she suggested several reasons why, I simply said “he’s just tired.” she had the nerve to say “have you tried having him take longer naps??” Bahahaha. Oh mom if you only knew how my entire day is dedicated to his sleep. |
7,309,215 | mommit | Does that work? We'll have to try it with #2! |
7,309,216 | mommit | Lmao if only it were that easy. My mom is always like "well she should be napping longer by now..." as if my 3.5 month old taking short naps isn't developmentally appropriate. |
7,309,217 | mommit | It's a novel stimulus. Sometimes it works. |
7,309,218 | mommit | I was the kid in this situation. My dad was the most popular person everywhere he went and no one suspected anything until he was arrested. Then my mom, myself and my brothers became pariahs and I thought it was my fault. I think, looking back that people just were so horrified that they avoided us but it was pretty da... |
7,309,219 | mommit | That’s bone chilling! I can see why you’re so shaken. Please bring that mom a casserole and tell her you’re there for her. It’s awful enough to be near it, but I can’t even imagine how terrible it would be if it were your husband and your child. She deserves to have the biggest village she can get right now. |
7,309,220 | mommit | PLEASE don’t alienate the wife and child because the father is a monster. It sounds like she found out and called the police. What more could you want in a friend than someone who would literally turn in their partner of a decade because they did something awful. Former CPS here and SO many partners and spouses confron... |
7,309,221 | mommit | Child therapist here. The most frightening thing about child predators is that they hide in plain sight. They are often filling roles of trusted positions (teacher, mailman, pastor, etc) or will be a person who seems very “normal” or “non threatening”. They set themselves up to take advantage of kids once a certain le... |
7,309,222 | mommit | Sounds like mom is a victim too along with the poor baby. I’m glad she turned him in. I’m glad your kids weren’t hurt by him. I think mom and baby deserve some support right now too. You both can hug each other knowing all of you are safe now. We currently have an older guy driving around our town and surrounding tow... |
7,309,223 | mommit | I totally understand. We just found out the other day that our very, very friendly “neighborhood fixture” of a mailman is a convicted sex offender, whose crime was aggravated sexual assault of a 6 yr old child. Truly chilling, you just never know with people. Its wild. Stay vigilant! |
7,309,224 | mommit | She turned him in. She has done nothing wrong. Please bring her a casserole as suggested. Go out of your way to extend warmth and kindness to her and her child. She is probably in so much pain, grief, and anger. She deserves kindness. From the entire community. |
7,309,225 | mommit | Holy shit. I hope he rots in prison. I feel so sorry for that little boy, what kind of a monster would exploit his own child? Im convinced he was always that way and he just had it at bay for a good while. Til it couldnt be contained anymore. Im glad your family is safe from this disgusting scumbag |
7,309,226 | mommit | When my son was about 9mo it was discovered that one of my friend's dad was arrested for having an insane amount of CP on his computer, including victims as young as 6mo!! I was physically sick when I heard the news. To be honest I couldn't even look at my son for a while without thinking about it. I also had a friend ... |
7,309,227 | mommit | Don’t avoid the wife. You don’t have to become best friends but I can’t even imagine what she’s going through. |
7,309,228 | mommit | My brother was recently arrested for something similar. I promise you that your neighbor is grieving the loss of her husband. Grieving the loss of the future she imagined. And is so incredibly angry. My family needed someone to keep the tea kettle hot while we made phone calls. |
7,309,229 | mommit | Omg, I cannot imagine the waking nightmare that poor woman is living right now. How horrible. I'd bet she'll be needing some help with lawn care or other tasks that her husband used to take care of now that she's a single parent. It's also not likely she'll be your neighbor for long now that she's down to a single inco... |
7,309,230 | mommit | Imagine how the wife feels! She’s been sleeping in the same bed as him, cooking his food and doing his laundry. If she’s the one that turned him in, she isn’t the same as him and does not deserve to be treated the same. |
7,309,231 | mommit | I’m in the back end (administrative) side of law enforcement and let me throw in 2 cents that most of you may already know. Just because we/you live in a nice neighborhood with white picket fence and the perfect atmosphere does not mean you are safe from all the crimes that happen in everyday life. I can guarantee yo... |
7,309,232 | mommit | An uncle by marriage was arrested for federal sex crimes against children when our baby was just a few weeks old. Thankfully, he’d never met her but we still struggled with it for a while, and he’s the reason we don’t share pictures with just about anyone in our lives. He seemed like a genuinely funny (kind of weird, b... |
7,309,233 | mommit | So sorry for this situation going on in your community. That's how these offenders work--they purposely are friendly and trustworthy because that's the only way they can get unsupervised access to kids. Nobody lets their children near the creepy guy down the street but they do let them around priests/soccer coaches/Boy... |
7,309,234 | mommit | That’s horrific. It’s ok to feel all the things. Maybe you should talk to a therapist. It’s like bystander trauma. It didn’t happen to you, but very close to your safe space. I think it’s perfectly normal for you to be completely shaken by it. Maybe offer to send around some takeout for the mom. Her life just got fli... |
7,309,235 | mommit | My father was this guy and my mother did nothing out of fear of being ostracized. This woman is a hero. Please show her some kindness because what she did was hard and she is probably suffering in the worst way and likely needs a friend. |
7,309,236 | mommit | One of my previous boss's was recently arrested for similar crimes. I considered him a friend (as much as a boss can be) he was married and had two kids. His wife was a youth pastor at their church. I completely understand the shock and disgust. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. It may be worth reaching out t... |
7,309,237 | mommit | Scum of the fucking earth |
7,309,238 | mommit | My nephew’s mother has been fighting with the school district about moving my nephew’s bus stop because he has to walk quite a way down a winding road and wait in front of a registered sex offender’s home. A second neighbor was just arrested for sharing images of child sexual assault with some of the images involving c... |
7,309,239 | mommit | If you don't mind me piggybacking on your post, it gave me a place to let out something I just found out about my own past. I rode the bus to and from school and was close with the bus driver because I was shy and a bit of an outcast. At the end of every year, he took a picture of us together at my bus stop. He did ... |
7,309,240 | mommit | Years ago, we made a new acquaintance through my husband’s work friend. The work friend had known this acquaintance since before high school. Two weeks after we invited the acquaintance to our HOUSE for a housewarming party, he got arrested for being one of the ring leaders of a child porn operation. It was a huge deal... |
7,309,241 | mommit | I want to contribute a slightly different perspective: if you were not very close to this neighbor to begin with, then getting close over this issue is not appropriate. You can be a friendly neighbor— a wonderful, kind, friendly neighbor. But talking about what has happened, without a foundation of a trusting friendshi... |
7,309,242 | mommit | Please put your own feelings aside and check in on your neighbour like she asked you to. Remember, this didn’t happen to you, it happened to your neighbour and her son. Their lives are forever changed. Yours is not. What she needs is help and support and because you overheard what happened she probably thinks of y... |
7,309,243 | mommit | Absolutely horrific. That little baby. |
7,309,244 | mommit | When I was around 19-20 years old (so about 9 years ago) my step sister’s mom was arrested for the same thing. Out of nowhere my sister was messaging me that the FBI were at her house. Arresting her mom. She found out that her mom had a long-distance boyfriend in Cali who distributed CP and her mom was doing things... |
7,309,245 | mommit | Here's the thing that truly gets me. It's her HUSBAND! And after reading the comments it's alot of people's husband and they never knew. No-one did. So how do you know your SO is safe? I don't suspect my SO AT ALL just to make that clear. But the fact that so many women never suspected anything but still got duped is ... |
7,309,246 | mommit | This sounds like my friend’s coworker. Coworker and husband have a two year old son. Husband disappears, presumed dead, turns out he’s in prison for child pornography. My friend is devastated for her coworker. Said to me, “that could be me, that could be us, you never really know know who you are marrying.” Pretty ... |
7,309,247 | mommit | I think its important to remember that the mother is probably in her own personal hell right now. Sexual acts against children can make those associated with the offender social pariahs even if they had no idea. I think looking out for her - even at a distance is a good thing to do. |
7,309,248 | mommit | Our close family friend who ended up marrying my aunt who I would even text/Facebook alone with no suspicions as a teen/young adult ended up being a whole creep with hidden cameras in their house trading them to other creeps. (Aunt had 3 minor children who had a lot of team mate sleepovers). He never touched anyone but... |
7,309,249 | mommit | I really hope you choose to reach out to the wife. I can't imagine being in that situation, turning in my husband, and then being ostracized or ignored by the people around me. While, I can definitely understand the impulse to just ignore her/the situation or "try not to get involved", she probably could really use a... |
7,309,250 | mommit | So disgusting. This man knew he was only risking a few years in jail. If the death penalty was on the table people wouldn't be doing this even if they wanted to. And no, I don't care if that opinion is extreme. |
7,309,251 | mommit | I hope you don't keep your distance from her. |
7,309,252 | mommit | My husband is a prosecutor. He deals with a lot of sex crimes, and the vast majority start with someone getting addicted to porn. It doesn’t excuse it. It doesn’t make it ok. But it’s a factor in the vast majority. Person gets addicted to porn. Person looks for more and more extreme porn. Person has no reference point... |
7,309,253 | mommit | I went back to school late in life. Was studying psychology with a focus on sex crimes. My co-worker was arrested for planning with another person to lure a young boy so they could kidnap-raoe-and murder him. I worked one on one with this person for over a year. I was sick over it. How had I not seen the evil in that... |
7,309,254 | mommit | Please don't punish this woman for the horrid acts of her husband. She obviously didn't know what he was doing and did the right thing when she found out. A lot of people wouldn't turn in their partners, even for molesting their own kids. You'd be surprised. That woman went from having a loving husband beside her rais... |
7,309,255 | mommit | In the past couple of years I had a "boring/religious/involved father/pillar of the community" type family member arrested and sentenced for possession of a lot of CP and assaulting a teenage student of his. The fallout has been immense and far reaching. So many people are grappling with the question of if you can't t... |
7,309,256 | mommit | There’s a site called familywatchdog.com. It gets its info from various state registries and will allow you to see on a map where all the registered folks are in proximity to you. The site links directly to my states official sex offender registry where you can see the full list of charges and their most recent photo o... |
7,309,257 | mommit | Truly awful. Been close to a situation like this before and it makes you question everything! As others would suggest, I would do quiet gestures. And I wouldn’t bring up the situation unless she does. Something along the lines of “I’m here for you while dropping off a coffee or groceries” not “oh my gosh, I’m so sorr... |
7,309,258 | mommit | I think the most important thing to know here is that it’s not about you. Whatever you are feeling is valid but think about how that poor mom feels, it’s all your feelings plus a million. I’m sure she could use a shoulder. You don’t ever have to bring it up specifically, but don’t alienate her, just offer her your frie... |
7,309,259 | mommit | I would bring her food, (like frozen meal preps) or maybe a door dash/Amazon gift card or something thoughtful like that. Something that covers the essentials. I can only imagine she wants to stay at home and protect/nurture her baby after this stressful ordeal. Definitely reach out in a kind way but not in a neighbor... |
7,309,260 | mommit | Please op. Don’t avoid the wife. She’s living her worst nightmare now. The last thing she needs is to sense that people are shunning her. Maybe make some cookies? Or lunch and drop it off? Just give her a few words of support? A hug? |
7,309,261 | mommit | I never thought that I would know anyone like that, but I found out last year that I knew 2 men who hurt their daughter and stepdaughter in the worst way. Two different men, but the same crime for which one was kept secret for decades until I was told recently. I believe her 100%, and will keep it secret unless she say... |
7,309,262 | mommit | Please be there for the mom |
7,309,263 | mommit | She was fooled. The evil lurks below a personable charismatic exterior. It is just hidden until the moment when they feel like those around them are in too deep to call them out on it. I know as I am going through a divorce with an evil lying person. I thought he was someone I could trust. I gave him all the informatio... |
7,309,264 | mommit | I have a 12 month old… my blood just ran cold reading this. That poor baby boy. I hope that piece of shit rots in prison. I hope that brave mother gets all the love, support and healing she’ll need to take care of her son and help him grow up safe. |
7,309,265 | mommit | This has been my biggest fear since becoming a parent. At my old school/my SD's school, several teachers have been arrested for inappropriate relationships. Most recently, the middle school principal. Who the hell can you trust your children with? You hear horror stories about day cares, teachers, neighbors, cops, fami... |
7,309,266 | mommit | Atleast she turned him in. Doesn’t sound like she’s trying to support him or anything. Her poor baby. I went through csa and no one knew. My mom didn’t know until I told her and it broke her heart. The more I look back on everything the more I believe it was always my dads intention to do that to me. Whether he was bor... |
7,309,267 | mommit | You don't have to live through an experience to be traumatized by it. It's hard to make sense of the unthinkable, and we can sometimes get 'stuck' in a hypervigilant state of "what ifs" that makes it hard to trust others. Please know that your anxiety and concern is valid. Take care of yourself and maybe talk to someon... |
7,309,268 | mommit | Sometimes you have to put the shoe on the other foot and not think about who, what, when, why, or where. Sometimes you have to see it from the innocent party's perspective too. You've only been neighbors for 3 years, she knew and was with this person for 10 years. Imagine how she feels not knowing her partner was capab... |
7,309,269 | mommit | My sister in law went through the same thing but with her teenage daughter, and I can tell you that the wife in this situation is in need of help. |
7,309,270 | mommit | Check on that poor woman. If you are this distraught about not knowing you lived right next to this and not knowing imagine how she must feel being with him for 10 years and not knowing. It was in her own house and happening to her son. I can’t even imagine the guilt she is harboring. She needs someone to be kind to he... |
7,309,271 | mommit | It’s definitely shocking and I feel so sorry for that baby & mom. I cannot imagine the horror that baby went through. I’m glad she turned the pos dad in instead of turning a blind eye though. |
7,309,272 | mommit | I’m so sorry. It’s truly unsettling for something that awful to happen next door to you. We had a similar situation a few years ago, before we had kids. I got home from work one day and there were 12 cop cars all surrounding my block and the block before mine so I knew something was up. They were searching my next do... |
7,309,273 | mommit | Thank you for speaking up about this. It’s important this is discussed. Be a friend to the victims too. |
7,309,274 | mommit | This is a really tough one. With child sex crimes, I’m no crime pathologist or mental health professional, but it always seems so compulsive. People who have c/p always have like an epic ton of images. It’s awful and deplorable and no child deserves to be abused. I wish it never happened, but it does, and it really see... |
7,309,275 | mommit | I understand how disturbed you must be knowing this was going on next door, in the home of your neighbours that you had interactions with. |
7,309,276 | mommit | This makes me feel physically I’ll having a 1 year old son. Absolutely horrible |
7,309,277 | mommit | This story gave me goosebumps, literally. I have such a passion for the protection of our children. Far before I became a mother myself, I’ve loved and adored children. They’re innocent, pure and deserve the very best. How people can abuse and mistreat children is beyond my scope of comprehension and makes me want to w... |
7,309,278 | mommit | Well, I don’t know you, this family, and I don’t live in your community, but I AM bothered! I’m guessing the people you’ve talked to are probably in shock or trying to keep it cool to help you stay calm. You’re absolutely right. You never know who’s around, and there are evil people hiding in plain sight, and it’s sc... |
7,309,279 | mommit | I had a friend for over 10 years, he seemed like a great guy. Had his own business, married his wife, had a child with her. Around when the kiddo was about 2, feds barged in his door for the same thing. He was even sending videos of his wife to people online and she had no clue. Our kids are the same age and we talked ... |
7,309,280 | mommit | Something similar happened to my brother. They bought a house in a nice neighborhood and a few years after, my SIL got pregnant. They then decided to look on the register sex offenders list and one of the only sex offenders in their area happened to live next door and was convicted of a crime against a child. They had ... |
7,309,281 | mommit | Wow, this is chilling and absolutely terrifying. This is why I don’t trust anyone. I would give the wife the benefit of the doubt that she didn’t know. I can’t imagine what she’s going through. I’m sorry that you’re living this too. It makes you second guess the security if your home when something like that happens so... |
7,309,282 | mommit | This is my greatest fear. We as a society need to Protect our children. There is so much sexualization of our most vulnerable that we must, as a society, fight back! |
7,309,283 | mommit | Amazing. How dare are the guy to do this? |
7,309,284 | mommit | Check in on the wife. She was likely just as surprised as you were finding this out & it’s her own child. She needs all the support she can get now. She did the right thing by calling the cops on her husband, please don’t shut her out too. |
7,309,285 | mommit | I’m sure his wife could use a friend. |
7,309,286 | mommit | Unfortunately with these types of offenses it's often the case that the person who is able to commit such disgusting acts was molested himself in his youth. Individuals with exposure to sex acts at a young age don't learn where the rest of us draw the line and even after years of a seemingly "normal" life the memories ... |
7,309,287 | mommit | Sorry to be that person but this stuff is almost definitely happening in more than one house on your street |
7,309,288 | mommit | Tread carefully. You did not have a relationship with them, so no need to start one now. They know where to find you if help is needed. |
7,309,289 | mommit | The body keeps the score. The thing is is that social media is inundated with CPS or DHS taking kids left and right….somethings off. |
7,309,290 | mommit | I don’t really get into good and evil debates, as I don’t believe morality is absolute. Full grown men were fucking children openly and it was socially acceptable in several societies not that long ago in human history. Everything, even egregious acts like that, are judged based upon the social mores of the day. Addit... |
7,309,291 | mommit | I’m so sorry. That’s hard to read, I can’t imagine having it be so close. I’m sure it’s haunting your thoughts right now. It appears that the mother has nothing to do with the choice that the father chose to make. I don’t blame you for wanting to keep your distance, but maybe if you run into her and feel comfortable en... |
7,309,292 | mommit | I've been in a similar situation, a few years ago I saw one of my former colleagues in the newspaper as he'd just been convicted of child sex offences. We weren't close at all but just having had close proximity to someone who was capable of such things was incredibly disturbing as I never would have suspected he was a... |
7,309,293 | mommit | Pedophiles are very charming people. They have to be. How else would they get access to your kids? It's usually not something you would ever suspect. They're also great liars, very good at manipulating 6 very good at hiding this. He probably did this for a very long time. His wife either knew or she didn't. I don't ... |
7,309,294 | mommit | It’s so fucked that people do this. |
7,309,295 | mommit | Its the most evil thing a person can do. |
7,309,296 | mommit | I work a confronting job and can evidently say there are scumbags literally EVERYWHERE even the ‘nice, rich’ places, I work in a different place to where I live but we all talk and the ‘good’ area I live in has the same rock spiders and seedy people as the ‘dodgy’ places, they just hide stuff differently! Sorry that yo... |
7,309,297 | mommit | There are psychopaths walking amongst us. You never know who you really meet. That man LIVED next door. Now, he lives in a cell. |
7,309,298 | mommit | Damaged people damage people |
7,309,299 | mommit | You’ve just got to be wary of everyone… |
7,309,300 | mommit | My cousin married a pedophile & claimed she didn't know. His preferred age range is 2-10. She still takes her 4yo daughter to see him, but he isn't allowed to be alone with his daughter. She didn't find out until her daughter was in his age range & I raged about how stupid she was for not seeing it sooner. I raged even... |
