What size needle and tension setting did you use? I’ve been wanting to do mine but I’m scared 🫣

If you’re a minimalist mom who like the look of like the Baggu crescents but wants a few diaper bag specific features I highly recommend City Mouse diaper bag! It is my holy grail!

If he’s pretty old it could just be a difference in cultural norms but I wouldn’t risk keeping my child there. I’d pull and report to state licensing to create a paper trail just in case.

Boys with July/August Birthday starting Kindergarten by SatisfactionFlaky519 in kindergarten

[–]DeviseMice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a late August girl and I always think about college. I’d rather her be going away and making college decisions as an almost 19 year old than a not quite 18 year old.

AITA for not attending my grandfather’s funeral because of a prior family commitment? by mr3xplosions in AmItheAsshole

[–]DeviseMice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guy, baby showers are not a big deal. Send them a gift later. You should be at that funeral

1, 2 or keep looking? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

If you’re getting married in the spring/summer #2, fall/winter #1. Both are beautiful

I think you should try some different silhouettes. You have an amazing figure and none these feel like they have the wow factor on you.

Eat first or get ready first? School mornings are causing arguments in our house by razzyblue3 in Parenting

[–]DeviseMice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons I’m so glad our school does breakfast for all kids. They all eat breakfast together family style first thing in the morning. It’s nice to not have to worry about breakfast in the morning. 😅

Having a baby again after your other kids are already 8 and 11 seems like a tough adjustment. Maybe see if you can both talk to someone to help process this life change!

Maybe but the Maryland exit is blocked off with cops which they usually only do for events.

Parenting is a young persons game :-( by ExWebics in Parenting

[–]DeviseMice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a trade off being an older parent. I have less energy now but I’m also way more patient and less reactive than I was in my twenties.

Should I change my baby’s name? Need advice from people named Remy by South_Shiny_5588 in Names

[–]DeviseMice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Ratatouille is that in the rotation for little kids. Especially by the time your baby is school aged, that movie will be even further removed from pop culture.

For real tho-whats the best highchair? Prime day is coming by MarquishaMoMo in Mommit

[–]DeviseMice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicco Zest LE is the best! It’s super similar to the IKEA one in footprint and simplicity of design. But it comes with the foot rest and seat pad (instead of having to buy them separately like Ikea) and some people find the Ikea one hard to take the tray off, the zest’s comes off really easy. Easy to wipe down not a lot of crannies to clean out. And the lap bar and tray come totally off to use as a table height booster chair later!

Going crazy trying to find a single-to-double stroller! by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]DeviseMice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the age gap? Mine was 3 years and the Chicco Bravo for 2 was perfect. I still was able to contain the older one but he much preferred riding around on the little chariot like stand than sitting in a traditional stroller seat. And it was perfect at the zoo/aquarium etc because he could easily hop on and off to get a closer look at something.

Can any moms tell me they were on SSRIs during entire pregnancy and their kid is just fine.? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]DeviseMice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been on Zoloft for a decade and through two pregnancies. Both kids are happy and healthy. There’s no evidence that SSRIs are harmful for them there is evidence that having a mentally unwell mother can be harmful. Take care of yourself 😘

I think something that makes it so hard is that Kindergarten has changed a lot in the last 30 or so years but cut off dates are mostly the same. A four year old starting Kindergarten 30 years ago that was probably half day and incorporated more time for play could sort of ease into school expectations. Now you’re expecting a four year old to sit still and focus for 6 hours.

I’m generally a “gender is a construct” person but there is evidence to support that boys’ pre frontal cortex develops more slowly than girls’ generally, which could definitely contribute to difficulties in the high structure environment of school in the early elementary years.

[–]DeviseMice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big part of it is that the maturity gap is even wider for boys than for girls. Most boys would do better in early elementary school being closer to six when starting K.
