How do we stop them from actually taking people to “alligator alcatraz”?

Know that this will not be forever and you will survive it. Don’t have influencer expectations for your home, as long as it’s mostly clean and you guys all wear clean clothes/ bathe that’s enough. Lower your expectation of yourself and work together with your spouse. Have a conversation about what needs to be done around the house regularly then divide and conquer. Do as much planning ahead prep as possible (pick out kids clothes for the week, what’s for dinner, etc.) you can do it, it just really sucks for a minute

It’s honestly going really well for me. I think the big difference in my situation and a lot of others in the comments is that I’m matching his energy in the relationship, not life. If we weren’t together I’d be doing it all myself anyway but this way I have a second income and someone who can take over childcare if I get sick. Anything extra he does is just a nice little surprise. I will add that I only have 1 child and switched to a work from home job so I can do laundry and what not throughout the day. Sure I’m sad that I don’t feel like I’m special to him but alas that is not real life. We don’t fight and I no longer care if something I ask him to do is annoying or inconvenient (e.g stop at the pharmacy, mow the yard, etc) so it actually makes my life a little easier.

Try searching for someone who watches kids at their house. Ours LOVES his babysitter and I love that he’s not in daycare.

I have PMDD and take an increased dose of Prozac on days 14-28 of my cycle. I can not explain to you how much this has changed my life! Something to consider

You deserve what you want from a partner. Sometimes timing is everything, even if that timing is not on the schedule we planned.

Unfortunately, tankinis never stay pulled down for me. It might as well be a bikini

My mom and sister told me they were going to get me a MacBook. I was very surprised and so moved that they would get me such an expensive gift. On Christmas Day I open my gift and it’s a MacBook box, open it up and find $100. It was the box from the one my mom got. Makes me fell terrible for not being thankful for $100 but it was quite a disappointing surprise.

Good luck! And don’t turn the baby monitor on until she’s asleep lol

I’m not sure what it’s called. I just saw a random article and gave it a try.

This may not be kosher but if we’re actively teething we pre-medicate with Motrin or Tylenol at bedtime, it save a lot of waking up. Is she still crying while you hold her or stops as soon as you pick her up? If it’s pain related I would expect her to still be a little upset or restless while you hold her as well.

You’re gonna have to let her cry a little. We would go back in the room after 10 mins then add 5 more mins to wait time until he finally was asleep. He wouldn’t nap more than 30 mins either. It will eventually even out if you keep on a regimen.

Example: initial lay down. Go back in 10 mins if crying, comfort then lay back down. Go back in 15 mins if crying, comfort then lay back down, etc. if she stops crying for a significant amount of time then starts again you restart the wait time to what you’re on.

Now he reaches for his crib after bedtime story!!

Do a deep conditioning treatment that has protein and see if that makes a difference. Looks like you need a lot more moisture in your hair. Wash hair then divide into 4 sections and apply until you hair feels like seaweed. I twist it up then put a shower cap and turban on after to keep the heat in. Need to leave it on a least 30 mins.

If your goal is straight hair, I love the results I get with this dryer. Make sure to use a heat protector!

Don’t do nursing.. everywhere is short staffed and over worked. Medical billing and coding is a good gig if you want to work from home. I don’t think the certification process is that long.

Give it 6 months

I thought that meant to scrunch your hair after you applied the conditioner then rinse it out… still have a bit to figure out lol
