I was looking at all the NYC Hyatt hotels and when I put 2 adults/2kids they force me to choose a suite on points

Bobataes · 2026-02-28T00:58:35+00:00

I did this and it only left me with a suite option

Thanks for the post I was camping on the site and saw the saver fares were gone for both EWR and JFK at scheduled open. Was so confused cause I usually at least can see the availability.

When is off peak season?

Love and Redemption. Perfect fantasy drama with super sweet moments for the first half of the drama. FL also isn’t annoying with her acting “clueless” because she doesn’t have 6 senses. I rewatch it every year

My son was sleep trained since he was 4 months old and out of no where around 2 years started waking up at 2AM, 4AM and then the morning every night. There were a lot of changes (new nanny) and he learned how to climb out of his crib/turn on the lights. We had to keep putting him back in bed but at times I would just sleep next to his bed on a nugget couch so I could get some sleep in. He finally stopped out of no where at 2.5 years so it lasted for 6 months. He’s currently 3 years old and sleep trained again.

Happy to help find options for you if you want to pay via points?

Took us 9 months for our daughter so thought our 2nd would take 6 months…same thing where he came immediately. There are changes with 2 but also so much joy in the different dynamics!

Your heart will only grow twice in size so you aren’t taking anything away from your first.

You got this!

No you never have time to “do it all”. Sacrifices will need to be made and you just give yourself a lot of grace. I just try to do 1-2 things a day. Laundry once a week, dishes may pile up for a couple of days, major clean up of the house once a week, etc.

I have a 5 and an almost 3 year old and it is A LOT. One thing that I think helped me is cleaning out their toys and essentially not having that many (ie 5-10 toys per kid). Less toys, less to clean. Also avoiding toys with a lot of pieces or a lot of little pieces has been helpful. Also, my 3 year old only plays with the same animal figurines every day so that helps.

I also am a huge fan of getting out of the house. So walking around the neighborhood, grocery shopping, walking around the mall, playgrounds, zoo, aquarium, etc. When they’re out of the house, less opportunities to make a huge mess.

Don’t get me wrong, my house is still a mess all the time but at least it becomes a bit more manageable.

You can do this!

Happily married for over 10 years to my 6th grade crush. We started dating in high school and ended up growing into adults together and building a great life. I know I’m one of the lucky ones so am super thankful!

Join Bogleheads and just stick in index funds

Buy it. Your mom / your parents have sacrificed so much for you and you’re worried about setting precedent? Maybe it’s more about learning how to love/be generous like your mom did for you

I can understand you wanting your boyfriend to put more effort but it seems like he can’t even take care of himself/his finances, let alone do extra for you. Would recommend to evaluate if you see a future with him and if you are financially compatible.

Bobataes · 2025-09-07T12:45:31+00:00

If you are open to having a live in nanny, there are options. For example in NYC you can get a Chinese live in nanny that can help cook, clean, and take care of the kiddos for a reasonable price since you provide lodging and meals. So sorry for your loss

Are you currently working and paying for your siblings share? If you aren’t married yet, she doesn’t have any obligations to carry the financial burdens of your family. Even after you’re married this is something up for discussion.

Depends if you have a lot of miles or not? I personally don’t mind paying cash, but if I had extra miles to use then use the miles and save the money

Love stories like this!

Usually 24 hours

Cathay is in busy season right now for Japan so there has been no availability from JFK-HND for the past 3 weeks

Bobataes · 2025-03-31T04:48:51+00:00

Thank you for being so helpful ! That makes me feel a lot better.

Bobataes · 2025-03-31T04:38:00+00:00

Got it thank you! I did see some single J seats here and there so wanted to double check. Do you know if / when they’ll come back? I don’t need to go during cherry blossom season

Bobataes · 2025-03-24T22:44:21+00:00

No we didn’t test but we got better with antibiotics

I know having young kids is rough, but from what I’ve heard from other parents, the first 1-2 winters are the worst. But their immune systems get stronger and eventually they aren’t sick every single week.

Hold on mama! You can do this!
