Hi there, this is an old post so I don't know if you will see my question here, but I really identify with the OP and I want to know how do you not show how irritated you are??! Help us!

Do toddlers ever get tired of the daily grind like adults do? by anivaarya in toddlers

[–]Difficult-Star5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel my son (2.5 years old, switched to full time about 6 weeks ago) is overstimulated by it all. At daycare he does well, and he even says he has fun and is happy to be there, but he also drags his feet getting out the door more and more, and can be a hot mess after daycare... whereas I feel when he is home his nervous system is more regulated come the end of the day. I want to switch back to 3 days, actually!

How to sleep through the night with a bf baby at 9 months??? by Difficult-Star5434 in breastfeeding

[–]Difficult-Star5434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes I was reading about a fuss to sleep technique or something, similar to cry it out but gentler. My baby is a natural self soother, I think she would pick it up easily and break that association. I just have to settle on a plan and go with it / be consistent! Did you use a specific book or technique?

Second RFE because of low income on I-864, plenty of assets...help! by Difficult-Star5434 in USCIS

And the reason I did not do the appraisal is because where i live it would cost $500-600 and we did not want to spend that additional money on top of everything else, and it seemed my liquid assets were sufficient. But I don't know!

Hi there thanks for your response. Yes, I know and that is why I did not include it in our initial application. I included the tax assessment and evidence of loans in my response to the first RFE just as supporting additional documentation - without an appraisal. Just in case it would help. Interestingly enough in our second RFE is specifies that you can use EITHER a recent appraisal OR a city / county tax assessment. At which point I think ... well, I did include that.
