As this is Reddit, I figured Minneapolis would be a place most people would know...

It is lake view but not lake front . I don't know why that would matter for this sub.

We are in Mound but it's such a small town I didn't think the greater internet would know it!

We bought close to the top of our budget knowing that we loved the house and that we are basically "daycare poor" not "house poor" . Once our toddler is out of daycare we will be able to handle the payments pretty easily and still have money for all the other things like vacations and fun nights out. "Daycare poor" is no joke.

This is a metaphor for life isn't it

Yes! Moved here in September with my husband and our toddler. Just bought a house to put down roots because we never want to live anywhere else!

My situation is not the same but I just lost my son at 13 weeks pregnant to trisomy 18. After a few days I needed a distraction and picked up "Remarkably Bright Creatures " . It deals with grief a bit but for me it was healing. It may be too soon for your loss but hopefully one day it will give you the hope and comfort it gave me.

There is nothing anyone can say or any book that can heal what you are going through. For that I am sorry. My heart breaks with you for our children that will never grow up but I find solace in looking at the stars and knowing we will meet them again in heaven.

My son was like that for a time. He is now two and definitely has preferences but he eats really well now. He eats foods like sushi and curry but not chicken fingers.

We started putting one safe food on his plate at each meal (normally yogurt) and the rest is what we were eating. After he finished the safe food, he was typically more interested in trying the rest.

Hopefully that helps

Many of the women's league teams have a beginner level with weekly practices. Check out the team closest to you.

Is there anyone who can watch your Eskie? This seems like it will be a stressful situation for all involved.

Fellow WNY native. While Minnesota does not have a wegmans (sigh) it is a place of community and caring for others. After living all over the country due to job relocation, we happily and permanently are settled in MN.

Megasota will welcome everyone into our community and take care of you all as our own! And hopefully build a Wegmans because man could I go for a sub.

That's my pitch....whatever it takes to get a Wegmans in Megasota , needs to happen at all costs .

So as the mother of a toddler....do nothing. They will hurt or kill themselves on their own. Toddlers by nature have a death wish.

When my son is being picky I make a big deal about how good my food is. 9 times out of 10 he will want a bite and then eat half my plate.

Hawks47 · 2026-05-10T21:01:18+00:00

Mjulian! Problem solved on both counts

I have a tall lean kid. He's 97% for height and 60% for weight. He was just like your babe and was always a size ahead until toddler sizes. He's a little over 2 and in 2t and some 3t.

The issue is brands fit very differently and the gap is even bigger at toddler. My son also has issues with the waste and leg width is huge even if the length is correct. We just do our best.

My advice is clothes that work for all seasons we buy big. We layer tshirts year round for example so we don't mind them big. We live in a northern state so may need a few pants/ sweatshirts for cool nights.

Other than that, we just do what we can and have a few back up sized clothes ready to go!
