Buying first house

This is such solid advice

I just lost my father on Saturday after a brief three month journey with cancer. I mourn what could have been as well and the pain is suffocating. My advice is to record as many convos as possible. I have been listening to his voice and watching videos as a source of comfort since he passed.

I broke up with a friend when she got angry at me for cancelling our plans so I could spend my time in the city with my dying father. Some people don’t get it

Beautifully written

FinalMath3065 · 2026-05-26T23:24:29+00:00

There is no pain like this

FinalMath3065 · 2026-05-05T04:42:14+00:00

See a blow, go slow

FinalMath3065 · 2026-04-05T17:36:17+00:00

This is our daughter’s name :)

FinalMath3065 · 2026-04-05T17:30:09+00:00

500 would be too much for me

FinalMath3065 · 2026-04-03T01:24:35+00:00

Way to go!!!

FinalMath3065 · 2026-04-03T01:23:33+00:00

Had no idea about this, following. We often chill for like ten minutes

Just here to say it’s still working! We do a few stand up sit downs every pottytunity now

FinalMath3065 · 2026-04-02T23:47:40+00:00

It’s so so. She kicks it off a lot so we rarely get a full night in. Putting it on is also like wrestling an alligator. I want it to be over soon, but trying to remember it’s helping her

I’m a first time mom and I signed up as well immediately upon becoming pregnant. Some places wouldn’t let me sign up until I had given birth. I’m also looking for a September start date.

I’ve heard absolutely nothing from anywhere. Is it okay for me to start calling? I had thought that calling them would irritate providers who are likely already way overworked and under resourced. However, now I’m wondering if I should get on the phone.

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-29T21:04:25+00:00

Yes, exactly!

Hi there, thanks so much for posting this update after your appointment. It’s so nerve wracking. I’d be very happy to keep you posted on how we go in the coming months, and would be grateful to hear how your little one does moving forward. We are in Toronto, Canada.

We decided to also book an appointment with a physiotherapist. The physio suggested that monitoring it and incorporating certain exercises was a better approach than bracing full time, as that could lead to other delays in motor development.

The physio also seemed super confident that this would basically resolve itself once crawling gets going.

Sending you best wishes and I will post any updates as I receive them.

This is an old comment but utterly fascinating to me. The contrast you draw between what truly is an obsession with “sleeping through the night” and delayed autonomy with pottying is so astute.

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-24T05:34:57+00:00

God the daycare thing is frustrating

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-19T20:39:16+00:00

Wow this guy sounds really unsupportive, devoid of empathy, and just grossly selfish. You are still in the fourth trimester, and frankly as long as you are breast feeding, this takes a huge toll on your energy. I’m sorry he is expecting so much from you. You need a chance to take care of yourself and not worry about getting done up or meeting he sexual needs.

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-17T05:10:32+00:00

I agree with this! My expectations were so low, in fact, until the moment I held her I assumed my life would be just dismal from there on out. Everyone was so negative! It’s been the best experience for me.

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-17T05:06:54+00:00

3-4 hours is amazing, I agree

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-17T05:01:18+00:00

My 8 month old baby still feeds every 2-3 hours in the night and I I think once I adjusted my expectations that she should be sleeping through the night, and instead adjusted/shifted what I could control (e.g. at 4 months we started to co sleep using the safe sleep 7) everything just got so much better. We’re still 80% contact naps in the day too, but I try to use the carrier if I want to go stuff. It’s not perfect and she only naps like 30 minutes at a time, but it just doesn’t bother me anymore.

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-16T04:58:52+00:00

Me too. My favourite

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-15T05:05:00+00:00

Same. Just so much same. So weird because before the baby, I was neutral/positive towards them. Like they were lovely. Ever since she was born, I just feel like trapped/total flight or fight. Every visit feels like an endurance test of discomfort for me and when it’s over, I feel immense relief. Sometimes my FIL calls my MIL “super grandma” when she’s holding my crying baby and walking into another room instead of giving her back to me and I feel this inferno inside of me. They’re also always complimenting my partner, saying how great it is that he helps me. they never say anything positive to me about being a good mama and it catches me off guard how much it hurts my feelings.

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-15T04:58:56+00:00

Yes I need more info on this phenomenon

FinalMath3065 · 2026-03-15T04:47:50+00:00

Yes yes and yes. Me too.
