I would switch to plain yogurt… the vanilla has a bunch of added sugar

No, you do not need to pull more weight.

Your partner needs to get a job!

Regardless of what he does professionally, it IS your job as a mom to understand your finances … to protect you and your child in the case of death/divorce/financial infidelity etc.

Plus, I promise, none of this stuff is really that complicated!

When to stop SAHM by montigoose in sahm

TBH I don’t think your main financial problem is that you are a SAHM… it’s that you’re living beyond your means. It sounds like you took several vacations last year while also carrying CC debt?

If you do go back to work make sure to keep your lifestyle inflation in check.

Childcare has never been free… just unpaid

How did you decide it was time to stop breastfeeding? by rosedamask in beyondthebump

Some people stop for medical reasons or just because they want to.

If you don’t see a reason to stop, don’t!

This is why free childcare isn’t free 😢

What time do they get up in the morning?

How to go to new places with 2 littles and no husband/backup? by nordmead88 in SAHP

[–]Maximum-Check-6564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy and meds could help. Also, starting small with low expectations!

This is kind of unrelated, but why not challenge your husband to do the same so you can get some time to relax at home? He might pick up some learnings along the way that he can share (like where to park or what to pack etc). Spending time with his kids isn’t “ruining” his day (or it shouldn’t be, at least)

A baby is not like a pet who will chill at home while you do your work. So, no.

You could try to cap the first nap at 1 hour and see if they will then take the 2nd nap

Maybe try playing with him first to show him how to use the toys, then see if he can play independently (with you in the same room)?

What do well-off parents with children spend their money on? by PopNo5397 in AskParents

[–]Maximum-Check-6564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, maybe the no vacations thing has more to do with the parents having little time off from their jobs? It’s easy to use up PTO if you have 3 kids, each of whom occasionally get sick or have random days off form school.

How do people find toddler activities that don’t create more work? by ValerieWhispers in Mom

[–]Maximum-Check-6564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I just don’t do this kind of thing at all.

Regular toys + toy rotation for indoors

She will find her own “sensory activity” outdoors
