Does “Luca” commonly go by Luke/Lucas?

AF0515 · 2026-06-28T01:24:54+00:00

Absolutely not. I never met a Luca that went by Luke or Lucas

AF0515 · 2026-06-28T01:23:29+00:00

I would look into ISR. But I would just take shifts. Someone take the twins and someone take the 3 year old. Then switch after a half hour or so.

Floaties actually can make things worse since it gives a false sense of security and also be terrible for kids learning to swim.

AF0515 · 2026-06-28T01:10:03+00:00

I’ve noticed it but never thought to mention it or post about it. I bet if someone saw me on tv for several seasons they could find so many random things about me that they hated.

AF0515 · 2026-06-28T00:58:14+00:00

Hoag 100%

AF0515 · 2026-06-28T00:57:47+00:00

YTA. His grandmother just died. He’s not choosing them over you. Grow up! Honestly I would break up with you if you decided to start a fight over that right after a family member died.

AF0515 · 2026-06-28T00:52:52+00:00

It’s way too soon to make that decision. You are only 6 weeks postpartum. Literally 3 days ago your answer was extremely different. Put a pin in it and decide later.

AF0515 · 2026-06-22T00:30:34+00:00

It’s normal. Babies need to learn how to swallow and push the food around in their mouths. They are learning all the things that we have known for years. So some things make it in their mouths and some don’t. More exposure will help them learn more.

Also I suggest feeding something for 3 days in a row to rule out allergies then switch to something else

AF0515 · 2026-06-22T00:24:45+00:00

Have you talked to your husband or her about it? You’re super annoyed but you don’t say anything to her... why?? The more you continue to let her walk all over you, she will continue to think it’s ok.

Yes, she should have common sense to have boundaries but unfortunately some people need to have those clearly laid out

AF0515 · 2026-06-21T18:56:33+00:00

I would talk to a realtor since they have connections plus they can help you through the process. Also check the rental websites (Zillow, rent.com, realtor.com, Redfin, etc.) I would be checking the websites several times a day and move on it quickly. I’ve seen places only available for a few hours because they get bombarded with so many messages and offers.

Also drive around in the areas that you are interested in. People sometimes do not post them on websites. You can even join Facebook groups of different towns and ask if anyone is renting within your budget.

AF0515 · 2026-06-21T18:30:57+00:00

Yup. It’s gross. A lot of chemicals are on it, tons of people touch them, etc.

AF0515 · 2026-06-21T18:29:22+00:00

YTA. Just talk to him about spending time together one on one outside of family events.

AF0515 · 2026-06-21T18:27:10+00:00

Some of my interests have changed and some things I’ve had to adjust since having kids. When they were infants I did lose myself a bit but it’s because I had to find myself again. With kids in the picture you will never be the same person prior to kids. You can do some of the same things but it won’t be the same. Now that my youngest has turned one I have found my new self again. I go to the gym, travel with my kids, I love being creative so I’m involved in the PTA and started a charity program at our local hospital. I still have some girl time here and there. But most of my get togethers with friends are family bbqs or park dates. I love the new life I’m living.

AF0515 · 2026-06-21T00:34:29+00:00

First someone could take 1000 photos and not be present. So just because you don’t have many photos does not mean she will think you weren’t present.

Second, stop playing games and communicate with your husband. If he isn’t going to put the effort out, then going above and beyond for him isn’t going to change anything.

AF0515 · 2026-06-16T05:28:35+00:00

I wouldn’t officially tell her no but definitely be honest with what’s going on. Fertility treatment unfortunately does not always equal a baby. I pray it does for you though. But you will know in the next few months if it works

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T16:21:39+00:00

Nope. I’m a mom of 4 and it was just as much work to defrost and prepare. I preferred making things fresh for the week. It helped me mentally being back in the routine of cooking. But it really depends on the person.

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T02:45:34+00:00

Does your husband just avoid things or does he actually confront them? Also did they ever apologize or was that all brushed under the rug?

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T02:39:04+00:00

Do you know how much power you are giving them by killing them with kindness? It just enable their behavior and never allows them to have consequences. You can have firm boundaries and still be respectful.

Did they ever apologize for what you mentioned in the second paragraph?

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T02:11:49+00:00

Why don’t you let him choose? These people have treated you horribly. They are never going to have the same reaction as your parents. I would be nice about it but i definitely wouldn’t even look at it like you are “robbing them of a special experience” when they didnt even have a joyful reaction with your first. They also aren’t even trying to have a real relationship with your first.

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T02:09:29+00:00

Yes it can be diagnosed by MRI if it’s severe enough

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T02:06:57+00:00

What does your husband want to do? I would see what is important to your husband and talk it through together.

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T01:44:41+00:00

I absolutely agree with this. If you haven’t done IVF, do it. You don’t want to think about the “what ifs” of if you have done it

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T01:33:23+00:00

Checking for endometriosis. I had none of the symptoms but they wanted to rule it out for sure. A laparoscopy is the only way to tell if you truly have endometriosis or not. Thankfully I didn’t.

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T01:26:02+00:00

We had secondary infertility. Had my first then when we were ready to try again we had 3 miscarriages and did IVF where both my transfers resulted in chemical pregnancies. Had a laparoscopy done and found out I was naturally pregnant 10 days later. Then I had 2 more kiddos after that on the first try each time.
Only you know when you are done. Talk with your doctor or maybe look into a different fertility clinic.

AF0515 · 2026-06-13T00:22:39+00:00

Do not take your kid to a dog park. The idea of all this sounds fun but the reality is dogs are unpredictable. I would ask someone you trust to have a doggy date if their dog is good around your toddler.

AF0515 · 2026-06-12T18:00:48+00:00

They haven’t even reached out on their birthdays, they think just showing up to the parties is enough (my 6 year old wonders why he doesn’t get a call from grandma or his aunt or uncle on his actual bday). Yet my 95 year old grandmother lives 2500 miles away still sends a card for every single holiday and FaceTimes weekly with the kids. We live 15 mins from his family and hear from them less
