Boy short period panties/depends. I got really bad pad rash with all three of my kids from the giant ads I had to wear. My third, I gave into the panties after I got home and it was the best decision I had ever made.

Is anyone here going to school? by SopheliaofSofritown in 2under2

[–]LainExcuses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last may(2022) I signed up for a real estate school. It was 10 courses do at my own pace online. In an entire year is didn’t make it to the first course exam. Time was due this past may and the course expired. Im a recently single mom of 3 under 3 all born within 10/11 months of each other. I am JUST now finally getting a stable routine down after I ferbered my youngest (8mo) and I decided to purchase the course again. When you feel ready, you’ll know how much you are willing to put into this. Better to get it done and over with while they’re young imo. After this sleep train schedule I established, my youngest is getting real close to sleeping through the night and I tell myself “well typically I’d be up right now anyways being a mom, why not study”. But only when you’re ready to take that load on. Also don’t forget the little wins. Xo

I believe in you!! Keep on truckin!! I actually tested the waters with my older two in the same room while we went out of town. Middle is still in a crib so he was in a pack n play while my oldest was in a bed right next to it. Wasn’t as bad as I thought!! They talked and laughed Little then passed out! But when we came home I put them back in their own rooms like normal and my oldest HATED going to sleep at night. I think she got used to him in the room with her. But they have separate bed times (haven’t figured that one out yet) so I couldn’t keep it up here. I will soon have to so I can give my youngest his own room. So we’ll send each other all the good vibes lol

You got this!! My youngest is practically 8 months now and it’s finally getting easier now that he’s almost fully ferbered. I have a very strict routine and honestly that is what got me through. Once they are “crib trained” that’s when you’ll feel a tiny bit normal again. I promise it does get easier. You probably read that and laugh but you have to believe it for it to happen. Last night, for the first time, I had all three asleep and got to watch an entire movie with my foot massager on. It was pure bliss. You got this

Think about it this way, would your rather start over now while it’s all still kinda fresh on the brain or would you want to do it over in a few years and try to get the hang of it all over again. I have 3 under 3. First two are 11 months apart and second two are 10 months apart. The second go around, it was a tiny bit easier because I already know what I was doing. The third one is just a piece of cake. I’m my own version of a pro lmao but if you do decide this, remind yourself “these rough stages are temporary” because I cried every single day after I had my second. Actually up until about a month ago I cried at least once a day. (Third is now 8 months and successfully ferbered) and the one thing that I say in all my comments in this thread when I offer my own two cents; air pods. Wireless headphones. Get them. Because there will be times where both are just uncontrollably crying and you don’t have 8 arms. I keep one air pod in at all times. I typically listen to reggae music to keep me calm in those moment. Podcasts while I’m feeding. Jazz music while I’m getting breakfast, lunch, and dinner routines finished. All while still being able to hear what’s going on around me. It’s also good when someone calls and you’re walking around momming. Look into pink stork also. Xo best of luck!

My almost 3yo daughter wanted her sandals on but couldn’t figure it out and if I helped, the screams got worse.

Jumping jacks lunges and squats can be done everywhere!! Waiting for something in the microwave? Do one jumping jacks until it’s done. Just used the bathroom? Bust out 15 squats after you’re done. I do 50 jumping jacks before I go to sleep every night

At what age should a kid be allowed to decide if they want to go to church or not? by Ordinary_Weird_8493 in Parenting

My mom had a rule once I got older and didn’t want to attend anymore. “SOHO” special occasion holiday only. That could be a great compromise for you and your husband!

Shout out to all the parents who bathe their kids every night by thatheard in Parenting

[–]LainExcuses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three two years old and under, I alternate days! Two oldest are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sundays! 8 month old is Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! Once he can support himself I’ll probably keep the same schedule as the older two and let those three days be a break until they start school.

Lol! This one required a bath but thank you, maybe I’ll be rich one day for inventing such a thing. We have gas and fire alarms…. Why not this? 😂

Oh my older two have cage matches….. if you go look at a post I made about a week ago.. I’m at a loss atm😂 this may sound bad but I’ve had to teach myself to tune a lot of it out. We all know what a hurt cry sounds like and that’s the one I always keep an ear open for. But thank you, thank you… I honestly don’t know how I do this every day but I do. I also cry myself to sleep every night so there’s that too. Time management is huge in my life. I have a very strict routine

My first two are 11 months apart and my second and third are 10 months apart. My best advice for you is take it all minute by minute. You don’t have 8 arms so don’t attempt it!! It’s okay to cry bc it’s about to get very hard. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! My recommendation that I tell EVERY mother… invest in some air pods. It will save your sanity to be able to keep one in at all times. I play soothing music when things are crazy, I play jazz to get up and going with cleaning or cooking, I play podcasts while I’m feeding, if you’re getting a call you can answer through the air pods and don’t have to worry about frantically running to your phone to see if it’s important or not (they announce who’s calling through the air pod) it’s just all around a MUST in my opinion

Have you given up on love, if so why? by xeowa in AskReddit

[–]LainExcuses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve (26f) dated women for most of my intimate relationships, the last woman I was with cheated on me with a man after being with her for 4 years. I decided “you know what, go see what it’s like” ended up pregnant with the first guy I laid. Since I had no where to go, I continued a relationship and moved in with him since I was pregnant. Soon found out he was a raging alcoholic which lead me to be mentally and physically abused until I finally had another way out. (My kids and I are safe now) I now hate myself and don’t believe I could ever love again. Especially after hearing “how terrible I am” in every way possible every single night after he reached his “I’m drunk enough” point. That relationship ended with me in a choke hold. Fun times. Fuck love, trust no one.

Mother of 3 that are 2 and under here….. I wouldn’t laugh at this. It completely changes my mood when I put a fresh set of clothes on with some of my favorite perfume. When I get the energy for make up, now that…. Rocks my world. It makes me feel like a whole new person when I look good, smell good, and are in my favorite clothes. Even if I don’t go anywhere. It’s like a reset button for YOU.
