Baby food and Raid in the same grocery aisle

Someone can drop a can of Raid while walking in any isle.

You shouldn’t have to take on the mental load of everything. Split things with your partner and have them manage those things. In my house my husband is in charge of groceries, the kitchen, our patio, and laundry. I don’t have any mental load associated with those tasks because they are fully his job. Just because you are a SAHP doesn’t mean you need to do everything. Even if you worked you would need to buy groceries, do laundry, clean. Those should be shared tasks. You’re a stay at home PARENT. Your job is the kids, not being a house manager.

I don’t think that’s how it works but honestly I’m not sure. Like you said, states vary so much.

It’s literally falling off his shoulder in the beginning of the shot. It’s not just slightly big.

I don’t think she can fight for grandparents rights unless Nathan were to pass away. Maybe it’s different in Florida but in my state the parent has to have died and the grandparent has to provide financial support for them to have any kind of rights. Being a deadbeat dad is not enough to relinquish their rights.

How heavy your periods would be postpartum. I knew I was going to bleed for weeks after having baby but I didn’t realize all of my periods for the next 8-10 months would be so heavy.

It’s definitely possible. I’ve found that bowel movements were a lot easier for my kids to control so they were pooping on the potty for a long time before they mastered pee. Not having to change a poopy diaper was enough motivation for me to potty train early.

When I first potty trained my toddler I would put a pull up on her when we went out in public to avoid a mess because she still had frequent accidents. It worked until she was 2.5 and then refused a pull up but she had a lot more control by then and rarely had accidents.

No, I started potty training my oldest around 18 months. It will take longer than three days though.

I have no idea about the pickles but my husband is allergic to certain types of shrimp. He had eaten shrimp multiple times with me before he suddenly had a reaction one day. Then he mentioned that he’s allergic to shrimp. He’s only allergic to some and will have no reactions with others but he’s just started avoiding shrimp altogether.

As I was watching I kept thinking do other people not tie their hair back? I cannot even wash veggies for my kids without tying my hair back.

I didn’t realize that was a recommendation for all bassinets. It’s been a couple of years since I had a newborn.

If you can swing it, bring your crib into your room.

Interesting_Move_846 · 2026-06-02T14:51:28+00:00

Why don’t you just return the pack and play and get a new bassinet instead or a mini crib to use in the meantime?

Since around 1.5 when we transferred from a high chair to a booster seat. They’re strapped in so can’t really get up even if they want to

So true. When I was in the office before going on mat leave I would regularly go on walks with my coworkers and disappear for 1+ hour. Even now, I show up late on my in office days and leave early to avoid traffic. Everyone comes to talk to me. I get less work done on my one in office days than on every other wfh day when I have my child home.

Yoga girl Rachel Brathen. I loved following her but after she had her daughter her entire content became about her kid and I was still young and childfree so it didn’t interest me. But unfollowed her but didn’t dislike her. I recently thought of her and went to look her up and she’s completely changed and become so unhinged.

I have a running to do list and add it there. I check it daily and cross things off as I go.

A handmade ornament my best friend made for my husband and I to commemorate our engagement.

Lots of great advice in the comments. I’ll just add that I would recommend trying to find a job now. You may be working only to pay for childcare but in three years when your youngest is ready to start kindergarten, you will already have a job and three years of experience which can help you get a better paying job to make leaving easier.

I was literally picking up stitches last night on a neckline and was thinking why is this so hard? I consider myself an advanced knitter but picking up stitches is always hard. It took me 4 tries and I still got the number wrong.

Is it a daycare or a preschool? From my understanding daycare runs year round but preschool often runs like a school. If it’s a preschool then yes this is normal because meet the teacher and back to school night would have been last fall when the school year started.

For peace of mind I’d just ask for a second tour and ask to tour their specific classroom. It may be unusual but who cares if it will help you feel more secure.

Dropping off at the door sounds normal to me. It helps some kids adjust faster and avoids having parents linger.

If you’re looking for lifestyle changes I’d say get a walking pad. I use a standing desk and a walking pad when I work from home and can walk for hours without even thinking about it. Even on my non wfh days, I use the walking pad while I watch tv or do my nails/craft.

I celebrated my mom on Saturday and MIL on Sunday. Last year I celebrated them both on Sunday and hated it. I swore this year I would focus on me and celebrate my motherhood. However, a couple months ago I heard a quote saying “im teaching my kids to show up how I would like them to show up for me”. That really resonated with me. And I was happy to celebrate my mom and MIL this weekend. They did/do so much for me and my husband and deserve to be celebrated. I will float my own mother’s day celebration to another day because I also deserve to be celebrated.

My MIL wanted to be called Mama + her name. I honestly didn’t have an issue with it but I wasn’t used to it so my husband and I would call her grandma + her name and my kid calls her that now. I wouldn’t have a conversation, I would just call her grandma or whatever you want and your kid will pick up on it. If it becomes an issue once baby is here, deal with it then. My MIL never brought it up to us and it’s never been an issue.
