OP, I have found that DD complies with certain things at certain times especially if they happen at the same time every day. I always get her dressed as soon as she wakes up when she is too groggy to fight it. I do her hair as she eats her breakfast because that seems to work for us. My tip is find the particular point in the morning when your child will allow you to dress them without a fight.

Wow you have never changed your kid's diaper against their will? Buckled them in their car seat when they don't want to be? You truly are a terrible parent. He admit it!

lol clearly this is a sensitive issue for you. Yes I have done some of these things, particularly when it was a safety issue, but usually I try to find an alternative because she is surprisingly strong and I have some physical limitations (yeah, you're an a-hole, btw). Forcing her into her car seat is often impossible or causes a lot of pain, so I have developed alternative strategies to get her to comply. Occasionally it means bribing her with a snack that she needs anyway but I've realized if I sit in the drivers seat and tell her we can't go anywhere until she gets into her seat, she sits. There is a middle ground between physically forcing a child to do something (which for some families is simply not effective for a variety of reasons) and letting them run wild.

So...you do use physical force when necessary. But shamed the rest of us who do, insinuating you would never do that. Then called me an a-hole do what exactly? Am I supposed to mind read your have physical limitations?

You're an arrogant hypocrite. Yeah, people like you do push my buttons. Mommy martyrs who assume they are better than everyone else but are actually just lying to themselves.

JFC you're aggressively hurling insults at people and wondering why they call you an "a-hole"?

If calling out a self-righteous, mommy shaming liar makes me an a-hole I'll wear that proudly.

Wow, you are a piece of work if you think someone saying they don't physically force their toddler to do things equates to "mommy shaming". Your insecurity is showing, and it honestly makes me wonder how you are treating your child. Are you regularly causing bruises? Are your child's teachers asking you where those marks came from?

you're a POS

Relax ladies. Maybe you are having a rough "transition" from work to DCUM. Have some wine, detox.

I am afraid that you are making this into way too big a deal.

Could sleep in next days outfit! Bingo lol.

It's "transitions." Mine hated those.

Try not doing abrupt transitioning. Use distractions. I think I'd give something to eat while I casually changed shirt, turn on TV, oh look at that, on go the pants, etc. I couldn't change her all at once. Be sly.

Cute deflection but my issue isn't with OR saying she doesn't physically force her toddler to do things. She does physically force her toddler to do things! Saying you, as a parent, NEVER do that is just totally false. Pretending you never do that is parent shaming. And just lying! Why are we attacking other parents for this? It's definitely parent shaming and not helpful to anyone. To then imply that by forcing my kids to do anything is AKIN TO ABUSE?! Do you hear yourself? How are you lifting up women and mothers right now? How is this helping us as a tribe?

-marriage and family therapist, I might actually know what I'm talking about here. And I'll give you some grace because we all have our moments but to put that in writing to a fellow mom is really low and disgusting.

Um I definitely did not say "never", I said I "do not", the fact that you take that as a personal affront to your parenting style is your issue, not mine.
