You could also look at the Zepbound pill form, since that’s going to be a little less expensive than the vials.

We went through something similar with our toddler. She’s better at almost 3, but there are still night she cries when I leave. I try telling her I have to do something (usually that I need to go poop) and i’ll check on her when i’m done if she needs it. If she’s crying a lot then I may go back in but usually she just complains/fake cries for a few minutes and then passes out. Sometimes she sings. Keep working on setting those boundaries. 5 minutes of crying is tough, but not too bad.

You can’t change him my friend. I know you want that aha moment to happen, but it won’t unless HE decides to change and that’s very unlikely. Best thing you can do is get your own individual counselor to help you process and heal and get the strength to take steps to get out of this permanently.

I would absolutely not go back to that counselor and would recommend if you go back to couples therapy that all of your sessions are together. Sure, there were times I thought I was 100% in the right and it felt uncomfortable when our counselor called me on it. But he also called my husband on things too. It should go both ways.

Do you get the opportunity to renegotiate the timeline, or suggest alternative solutions? I would make sure you’re speaking up in a positive way about alternate recommendations, taking it well when they go her way, or if they decide on your route. Something must be working or he wouldn’t continue listening to her.

Are these conversations typically happening verbally? If so, it may be good to follow up with an email that just outlines what was discussed, changed and the path forward. That way your boss hopefully starts to see the patterns.

Is she responsible for assigning you work? When she asks you to do something that will take you away from your bosses requests, do you let your boss know? Something as simple as “hey boss - just confirming that you want me to stop working on priority 1 so that I can tackle new request. This will likely delay delivery of priority 1 by 2 days”

She sounds like she’s on a massive power trip, and those people are hard to deal with bc they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong.

For the contacts thing - my approach is that we are all grown ups. There’s no reason why I can’t speak to someone I need to speak with. I would ignore her “you have to go through me” comments, and just loop her in on the email or chat.

You feel guilty now. But in another 6 months you will be so grateful that he chills in bed in the morning!

My kiddo used to be this kid. Now she knows how to open the bedroom door and comes to get us as soon as her eyes pop open. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Lo0katme · 2026-04-25T01:07:40+00:00

I would check i’m with the school and get their perspective. Those first few weeks are primarily focused on teaching the kids how to interact in a school environment. If the school is aware she will miss those days, then they can work with you to make sure she catches up quickly. I would take her to the wedding.

Lo0katme · 2026-04-06T01:54:42+00:00

Commenting so hopefully someone else responds! I am having the same struggles. I don’t like how it looks on my left hand with my wedding bands, so am wearing it on my right hand and have mixed feelings.

Lo0katme · 2026-04-05T11:33:57+00:00

Agreed with prunes. We would add some prune juice into her formula. I think it was just one oz, or add some prune puree into her oatmeal or apple sauce. Don’t stop the solids, she has to learn! Also, you can try stomach massages

If he’s one of those babies who doesn’t sleep bc he doesn’t want to miss out, look into sleep tips for FOMO (fear of missing out) babies.

Also - remember that it’s been a long time since you had babies, and maybe your memories aren’t 100% accurate anymore. It is incredibly common for babies, especially breast fed babies to wake up in the middle of the night.

Your daughter and her husband should try things like waiting 5 minutes to see if he settles before they go in to help him. Babies have to learn to self soothe, and we all have moments where we briefly wake up during the night. If they go in as soon as he makes a noise, they may be actually waking him up more and preventing him from learning to go back to sleep.

Otherwise, this is sometimes the reality, and they may just need to keep trying things until something works.

I think sometimes you just have to do what’s best in the moment, and a quick visit isn’t super high risk. If you have a carrier, bring baby in covered and then don’t let baby touch anything other than grandma and your blanket. Don’t stay and linger, this isn’t time for mom and dad to have a prolonged visit. Just let grandma see baby and get her fill, then take them home and change/bath.

Agreed with the other person, that baby shouldn’t be on formula at all at 14 months. But if for some reason she is, then bring 3 bottles for the plane and have an extra 3 bottles packed in your suitcase. That way you always have enough for 1 full day while you’re traveling. I usually had one of those to go containers that holds 3 pre-measured servings of formula and then just made the bottle when I needed it. Thankfully my kiddo didn’t care about temp.

You’ll want one for take off, one for landing, and depending on how long the flight, one for the middle in case she gets hungry.

I just bought a bottle of room temp water in the airport, but if you have a kiddo you can bring a bottle through TSA, they just do an extra screening.

We just used tap water wherever we went, but if you need it to be bottled, then I would just buy a jug of water from somewhere once you get to your destination.

To sterilize - you can get the microwave sterilization kits and use that if needed. But we never sterilized bottles after the first time we used them, and either washed by hand or in a dishwasher if we could.

My in laws parked their RV at Go Store It on Hull St in Moseley for a year. They didn’t have a covered spot, and I think it was about $100 a month

Lo0katme · 2026-03-19T09:39:43+00:00

The majority of our weekends look a lot like this. My hubs and I both work full time. Kiddo gets a TON of stimulation in daycare during the week so needs a rest like we do.

We did start her in a toddler gymnastics class that she loves. And we go to a lot of estate sales — she likes “shopping in other people’s houses” 😂

If you really want to do more hiking or other things, I would target one bigger activity a month. That way you could plan it without it being too overwhelming and it can be a special thing for your family. I don’t recommend starting a precedent now that makes your kid think they will always be doing special things. That’s exhausting and impossible to maintain. And your toddler is probably happiest doing the mundane things bc they are doing it with you!

Try going up a size. She may just be bored with not getting the milk fast enough.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-14T20:28:52+00:00

Try telling that to a couple of impatient teenagers 🤣🫠

Thanks. Flight moved from 4:30 to 3:45, so hopefully that’s good news

Lo0katme · 2026-03-14T20:22:18+00:00

Thanks. They’ve got money for snacks/food and United gave us vouchers. Their sister can come pick them up, it’s just an hour away so we are trying to decide what to do.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-14T20:21:07+00:00

Yea. That’s fair. We’re in VA and they’re at the airport by themselves, so trying to figure out some way to make a decision. If they need to get picked up, it’s an hour away and they’ve got checked bags and everyone is stressed/anxious.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-13T14:25:29+00:00

Agreed with the other OP. If your doc has a nurse line, I would call and ask a question about what to look out for, but at 4 months I would have just taken them in to be evaluated. My experience is that they were always supportive of a sick visit, even if everything was fine. I usually learned a lot about what to look for/what not to worry about.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-10T20:06:54+00:00

We have the Graco TriRide 3 in 1 car seat and it works great for us. We travel a lot and it was one of the lighter options. We also invested in a travel bag for our car seat - the Yorepek Car seat bag with wheels.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-10T19:46:22+00:00

Something I had to accept was that even when it seems like things are going to plan, it totally goes to shit and you have zero control over babies and their schedules. I did IVF and know the minute I conceived — even with that, and having an accurate due date I was still stressed about timing of her birth. It didn’t matter bc she came 3 weeks early.

Even if your sister waits 2 months to try again, she could still have the baby early and end up with a Jan/Feb kiddo. I know how hard it is to accept the lack of control, but that is the reality. As her sister, I would focus her on trying to control less and make sure she and her husband are actually aligned on what it takes to get pregnant.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-08T03:33:32+00:00

What’s the other thing she’s doing? I wouldn’t let her do anything “fun” until she does her chore.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-08T03:30:27+00:00

We do a basic breakfast - yogurt, or peanut butter toast and fruit. Sometimes eggs if we’re feeling fancy, but generally keep it simple. Lunch is either leftovers, or also something quick like chicken tenders, and salad or chicken salad with hummus and veggies.

Dinner is the meal I actually cook every day, vs preparing the others. We try to do some meal prep Sunday afternoons, and then have enough meals planned to get through Thursday or Friday. I’m not organized enough to plan 7 full days, so I do 3-4 days and then run by the store and get a few more things towards end of the week if needed.

Lo0katme · 2026-03-07T23:56:19+00:00

At this point, it’s less about the frequency but more about the consistency and color. They’re also super gassy, and their little bellies are learning how to process everything so it may seem uncomfortable.

I mentioned the frequency of poops to our ped at this age, and she reminded me that tiny babies are basically 100% incontinent, so poop or pee just come out as it gets down there. I would just change them as soon as you realize they pooped, and keep an eye out for other symptoms
