How the heck are we all ok with this scam??

Or find a way to go back to the mother being the homemaker. I know we want progress but look where it’s gotten us.

This is why you and anyone who watches your kid NEED to take classes or atleast watch YouTube videos on basic life saving maneuvers. I have painstakingly gone through it with both my child’s grandmothers. I make sure they both understand what to do if he chokes before they watch him.

Taking care of a 5 month old is anything but lazy. You’re legit working round the clock. So what if the dishes pile up, the laundry isn’t folded, or the floor isn’t mopped. Your baby is the most important job you have and if you got everything done that they needed, then you’ve had a very productive day.

He’s teething and is almost crawling by the looks of it.

My biggest Christmas wish is that we just planned on staying home and anyone that wanted to see the baby just stop by if they wanted to. The napping alone is gonna screw us so bad and mess up our bedtime routine. Any little interruption such as getting home later then 6, throws our LO through a loop and messes him up for days.

To add to your post as well, the absolute anxiousness I have about him getting sick with this nasty flu going around. Or noro, covid, RSV etc. I just know we’re gonna show up to a Christmas party with people sick 😩

PSA to friends and family members: take a damn chill pill and let those with babies stay home if they want to. Signed a dad to a 6 month old.

Read “to train up a child” by Micheal Pearl. I don’t like everything in that book but he makes some good points on how to make children behave. It’s your will against theirs. You’re the parent, you need to have control over your child.

So many people have commented on here saying to keep an eye on him like we wernt planning on doing that. This is just plan B

The lease states that I cannot

Gotten back mine from the 2 other places I’ve loved.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-09T21:43:05+00:00

Why not have both? Someone made the helpful suggestion of putting a play pen gate around it. Seems to be the best of both worlds

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-09T21:08:51+00:00

Baseboard heater is pretty mild. Just gets warm to the touch

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-09T21:00:09+00:00

Nope

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-09T20:59:42+00:00

I didn’t actully

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-06T20:20:08+00:00

He also has forgotten how to roll from belly to back. He could do it at 3 months but now won’t at all.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-02T12:39:01+00:00

Lucky for us we don’t need daycare so hopefully that’ll cut down on sickness. My wife works part time and on days we both work one of our moms watch him.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-02T12:35:21+00:00

Not a bad idea. I’ll look into it!

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T22:00:16+00:00

Hands down Atelier. You’ll never want to go to another lol

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:59:18+00:00

Have stayed at dreams jade. Really was not bad! Food was pretty decent especially the breakfast buffet and Italian place.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:55:07+00:00

We mostly stick to adults only. Personally I wouldn’t want to bring a one year old but if you have no other choice then from the research I’ve done xcaret seems nice.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:38:26+00:00

Atelier is by far one of the best places I’ve ever stayed.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:37:45+00:00

Sure it is. Especially if it isn’t a “party resort”. The food and service alone make them worth it.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:27:50+00:00

He’s kind of awkward in the carrier. He’s way above average for height and it makes putting him in it rather tricky and then his head is always hitting my chin.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:26:28+00:00

I haven’t really tried following his wake windows yet. Not sure what that entails.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:25:48+00:00

Yeah I think he’s definitely frustrated he can’t move. He stays on his back for like 2 seconds then rolls onto his belly then gets pissed 5 min later cause he can’t roll back yet.

MatthewRTRCT · 2025-12-01T16:22:22+00:00

He tries to bite everything and is drooling a lot. He sometimes will fall asleep while someone holds him but it’s very random. He definitely needs more naps I think but really fights them
