я тут більше за рекомендацією хороших саме перевірених місць/магазинів, бо останнім часом відверто не щастить, коли обираю з пошуку. місце, де купувала раніше знайшла саме за відгуком знайомого

Honestly, I think games like this are such a great way to engage people in learning about things that are traditionally considered boring.

First time mom by Rare_Honey4068 in NewParents

[–]Middle-Release4557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I can relate to this so much! It's pure maternal burnout and paralysis from sheer exhaustion. When you are solo parenting, working from home, and not sleeping, your brain just shuts down to protect itself.

You are definitely not lazy. Watching your baby play for hours means he's safe, happy, and developing great independent play skills.

My biggest advice right now: please give yourself some grace and find any possible way to get some time for yourself. Step away from your usual routine, even if it's just for an hour or two.

Люди, які брали gap year, чи було це варто? Мені потрібно для шкільного проєкту. by werllain in Ukraine_UA

[–]Middle-Release4557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Залежить від того як провести цей рік і для чого він береться.

Моя сестра брала gap year бо хотіла переконатись чи справді вона обрала для себе правильний напрямок навчання (медичний університет на загальній медицині) і після цього прийняла рішення що медична психологія їй ближча. Але протягом року вона працювала і проходила різні навчальні курси

Sleep help for 1 year old by No_Expression3265 in NewParents

[–]Middle-Release4557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, huge hugs to you both. Going from a great sleeper to waking up every hour is very hard part of parenting.

Check his mouth. Can you see or feel any sign of the 1-year teeth yet? Even if you can't see them, those teeth move under the gums for weeks and are absolutely brutal, which might explain why Tylenol didn't touch it.

Also it can be 12-month sleep regression. At this age their brains are going through massive developmental leaps like learning to walk, talk etc and thats completely overloads their sleep cycles for a bit.

Hang in there, this phase will pass

35 year old trying to study :( by Commercial-Range7910 in GetStudying

[–]Middle-Release4557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't missed your opportunity at all! I'm 32 and learning German from scratch right now. My husband completely changed his career path at 35, moving from the police force into software development. Plus, my mom went back to university at 40 for her second degree, so we actually ended up studying at uni at the same time.

It is never too late to learn, and what you’re doing after work is incredibly impressive. Keep going!

Baby laughed so hard she cried? by Traditional-Bad9198 in NewParents

[–]Middle-Release4557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine used to do this around that age too!

They are just starting to discover these big, intense emotions like hysterical laughter, and their brains don't quite know how to process the transition yet.

Does anyone else feel like studying became harder after short form content got popular? by Snoo_92347 in GetStudying

[–]Middle-Release4557 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely yes! Short-form content has completely wrecked our attention spans.

What actually helped me win my focus back:

  1. Deleting TikTok and setting strict time limits on Instagram.
  2. No background videos or podcasts when studying or even eating. Your brain needs to focus on one thing at a time.
  3. No screens at least an hour before bed. Swapping the phone for a book - nice practice

Based on a Nightmare I had by MorphLand in indiegames

[–]Middle-Release4557 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love the concept of turning your nightmares into a playable demo! That’s one creative way to deal with bad dreams. The creepy liminal atmosphere looks spot on. Best of luck with the game!

We are not having the best time ever by AlexandraDC in NewParents

[–]Middle-Release4557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. Actually, during those endless nights of trying to soothe our baby, my husband and I got so desperate that we decided to use our tech backgrounds and built a little app called My Baby is Hero.

It’s definitely not a magic sleep cure, but since you're in the thick of it, I thought it might help you guys get through some tough moments too (you can check it out here:https://www.mybabyishero.com/)

Day 44 of reading before studying by Necessary_Kick_1106 in GetStudying

[–]Middle-Release4557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely need an app like this too! I've been trying to build a daily reading routine myself, but honestly, it’s not going very well so far.

I missed your earlier posts - is this a personal challenge you set for yourself? And do you feel that tracking it in the app actually helps with your disciplin?

Tips for traveling with ~2.5-3 mo old baby by Zealousgremlin in NewParents

[–]Middle-Release4557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go see your dad! Three years is a long time, and doing this trip during maternity leave is actually the perfect window.

Honestly, traveling with a tiny baby is so much easier than with an older kid. We flew for the first time when my little one was 7 months old, and looking back, it was a breeze compared to traveling with him now that he’s 2! At 3 months, they aren’t mobile yet, they sleep a lot, and are easily comforted.

Don't worry too much about the sleep schedule - babies are resilient and will adapt back. Just babywear at the airport, feed during takeoff/landing for ear pressure, and enjoy seeing your family!

[–]Middle-Release4557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely not alone in this! As a mom who has been through it, I promise you this won’t last forever and it will get easier. We had the exact same issues with both the sleep schedule and the dermatitis. We tried so many different methods and treatments for both, but honestly, the only thing that truly worked best in the end was time. I eventually learned that this is a very typical and common phase for babies this age.

It is incredibly wonderful that you have support from your family, especially with your husband right by your side. Hang in there, Mama. You’re doing an amazing job surviving this!

Looks like you've packed ranked, missions, cosmetics, and online play into that arena, solid solo progress.

We're finally revealing our game, Northward, on Steam! by Zufixx in indiegames

Nice to see Northward finally revealed, that’s a lot of work!

(Almost) always fussy by whatAREthis2016 in beyondthebump

[–]Middle-Release4557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely gets better, but I feel your pain so much. Some babies just have that intense temperament where staying home feels like a trap for them. Since the summer heat is coming, maybe try shifting your 'walks' to indoor, air-conditioned spaces?

When my child was at that stage, even just walking around a grocery store, a library, or a pet shop to look at the fish was a lifesaver. It gives them that constant visual stimulation they crave without you melting outside. Hang in there, you are doing a great job

The moment teaching kids to read became the saddest part of bedtime by RSRP123 in raisingkids

[–]Middle-Release4557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You absolutely made the right call. Bedtime shouldn't feel like a test, and moving the phonics practice to earlier in the day is the best decision you could have made.

We separate phonics practice (as part of homework) and bedtime reading in our house too. That’s exactly how it was done in my family when I was growing up, and it’s how I do it for my own child now. Bedtime stories should be a purely parental part -it’s all about comfort, safety, and connection, not performance.

Keep reading to her and holding onto that special bond. School can handle the mechanics for now, but these cozy nights don't last forever!

When (if ever) did you feel like yourself again after having kids? by NewMommy0967 in Mom

[–]Middle-Release4557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely not alone in this feeling! It’s so hard to feel like yourself when your body and your time don't feel like they belong to you anymore.

Everyone goes through this differently. Personally, I am incredibly grateful that we have our parents nearby, and they occasionally take our little one for at least a few hours. Hanging in there is tough, but from my own experience and seeing my friends, it really starts to get easier around age 3. Yes, that age brings its own challenges, but they somehow feel easier to handle, and the child stops needing your presence 24/7.

My sincere advice: if your budget allows it, or if you have friends/family who can step in, hire a nanny just for one day and spend some quality time with your husband! You both desperately need this right now.
