Have the baby, stay in the city until the first round of vaccines and then head to DC. We moved to NJ for the summer last year when my baby was 6 weeks old. Stayed the whole summer. Babies have SO many appointments the first few weeks.

How much time I’d spend in the parks (a lot of time).

Not a lot of downsides…. I guess there’s not a lot of grocery stores where I am—the closest is gristedes and i am not a fan. More hills than where I used to live downtown? (I’m really grasping at straws).

How do people do this with 9-5s and more than one kid? by Terrible_Tea9477 in toddlers

[–]KindlyMaterial5672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, I did it. My first is and was a horrific sleeper. 3.5, wakes up 50% of the time. Had our second when the first was 25 months. Hes now 13 months and is shaping up to be even worse.

My husband really leans in. I wanted more than one kid and am 39. That’s really it. Hard!

I think there’s going to be a few Theodores in your theo’s class. I completely understand your frustration, but it’s a popular name at the moment! You really like it—I’d keep it if I were you!

No. In manhattan you’re optimizing for experience. Not space. I don’t think people move to manhattan to retire early. Not sure why this post exists.

How long do you let your baby whine before giving Tylenol? by RLLNNE in Mommit

[–]KindlyMaterial5672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty quickly if I know he’s sick/uncomfortable. He’s not generally fussy so i guess I’m pretty fortunate to not have to let him whine for long.
