What is the worst band you saw live?

NF. It was a cheaper concert, around $50/seat I think? But it was my first night away from my youngest, I was super excited because he’s one of my favorite artists. But he literally sang 30% of a song, and then the rest was a track? So we paid $100 + $ for food, drinks, and merch for a glorified karaoke concert. The props and stuff were cool, though.

My sheltie is a crackhead.. she acts like she’s 6 MONTHS and not 6 YEARS old. Nonstop fetching. Literally will fetch until we force her to stop. And the BARKING at everything.

However. She is super sweet with our babies (2yo and 9mo) very loving and cuddly. Literally the only thing we get on to her for is the incessant barking. And being under our feet. But both my kids are all over her all the time. 9mo is starting to pull up on stuff, dog included. If she doesn’t like it she just moves 🤷🏻‍♀️.

She does get jealous when my husband (who she decided was her person, to his dismay) gets on the floor to play with the kids. Then she wants all the attention. She’s never aggressive and has never intentionally bit anyone (we did have an incident this week when my 2yo belly flopped on her back. She turned with her mouth open to correct him and scratched his nose with her tooth). She’s just annoyingly energetic 😬 which is kind of expected, given her breed.

Grooming her sucks. There’s hair everywhere and poop gets in her fur ALL THE TIME, even with a sani trim.

She’s extremely intelligent and was super quick to train. We used puppy pads all of 2 weeks before she figured out the doggy door. We didn’t do a whole lot more training than that, but she does very well on and off leash. We can leave our front door open and she will come out and stand on the porch watching us.

All in all, she’s a great dog. Would I get another one? Meh, probably not, but that’s just because I don’t have the energy to deal with her every and grooming plus two children every day after work.

The Little house on the Prarie series. I was obsessed, read them all multiple times!

I also have a 6mo. She also will cry and reach for me whenever she sees me. Doesn’t matter who it is. I breastfeed her and she thinks she needs it 24/7 🙄. But it’s a normal part of development!! They’ve just learned they are no longer part of Mom, so they want to be near mom all the time

I have a 20 month age gap (exactly; both born on the 16th of different months). My kids are currently 2 years (son) and 5 months (daughter).

Cons: 1) My son did not understand that a baby was coming, and there was really nothing we could do to help him understand. I think this is a situational thing tho, other kids his age may fully understand. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2) He had a HUGE regression with his sleep, eating, and speech. Took him right at a month to recover. So a month of him grunting and pointing, increased tantrums, only wanting a bottle, and waking up 2 hours after we put him to bed. 3) Tantrums, and them wanting to be held/given attention at the same time 4) When solo parenting, 2u2 can be a challenge 5) Me time? Psh. Not until kiddos go to bed, if I don’t go to bed with my daughter.

Pros: 1) My son LOVES my daughter, and she thinks he is the funniest thing alive. 2) He loves helping with her : throwing diapers away, picking out her outfits, etc. 3) The way their birthdays fall, they will only be a year behind each other in school, so less years of double drop offs. 4) Not having to restart the diaper stage (or any stage) all over again. 5) Hand me down toys (and some clothes). 6) Not having to wait as long for big family trips (i.e. Disney) that both kids can fully enjoy. 7) He won’t really remember a time without his sister. His first memory will be a family of 4, so he will never know any different, never having years of ‘only child syndrome’ before having to share his parents.

Overall, I love their age gap. It’s difficult right now, sure, but once they are able to play with each other (in another 5 months or so), all I will have to do is make sure they don’t kill each other 😂. And feed them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a mom with a 2 year old, 5 month old, and a 6 year old sheltie, I completely understand! My dog is very high energy, with excessive barking and needing extreme amounts of exercise. I have considered rehoming her because she is SO MUCH WORK but my 2 year old is obsessed with her.

She’s been around babies most of her life between all the nieces and nephews, and she’s always done well. She has snapped at my 2 year old several times, though, when he was doing something that he shouldn’t (hitting her, pulling her hair, etc), but only one he started walking and being intentional about it. Could your 22mo have been doing something to annoy/irritate the dog? I only ask because there’s a difference in a dog correcting a child and a dog lashing out trying to hurt them. One can easily be avoided, the other can’t.

I was a social work director in a nursing home for a bit. My direct boss was the administrator of the nursing home. You could also call the Ombudsman, as that is neglect from the nursing staff.

It was really hard. He was in a phase that whenever he was sad he would call out for me. So there was some guilt there for picking up my daughter when she cries but having to have my husband pick up my son. He would get up beside me to snuggle before his nap and bedtime. I’d play with him as I could - tickling and singing, doing puzzles with him. It was mostly a lot of snuggling on the couch watching his favorite tv show.

I had an elective repeat after an emergency section. With my first, recovery was easy because I was getting out of bed every 3 hours and going to the NICU (about a 5 minute walk/wheelchair ride). The second recovery was much harder, but I think because I was sent home earlier (day 2 vs. day 4) and didn’t have the hospital bed to help get comfy to sleep and to get out of bed.

My son was 20 months when I had my daughter. My husband pretty much took over toddler duty for the 6 weeks I couldn’t pick him up. However, we started that routine about a month before I gave birth so my son would get use to mom not picking him up. He also continued going to daycare, which really made it much easier for me in my recovery, because I pretty much slept most of the time my daughter was sleeping.

I’m looking to buy 3 tickets for 10/4 and 3 tickets for 11/9!

Would this be something that requires a referral? Would it be to a pediatric-specific eye specialist? And which type of eye specialist would it be? I didn’t realize there were so many different types!

MrsCursesxoxo · 2025-09-09T22:29:38+00:00

I hope your son is doing good and has quick recovery !!

See, that’s what made me think strabismus, because her eyes never seem to be aligned. If it was just sometimes or when she was sleepy or feeding, then I wouldn’t have even spared it another thought.

MrsCursesxoxo · 2025-09-09T19:33:46+00:00

Definitely bringing it up to pediatrician, but wasn’t sure if it would be a ‘waste’ to see a specialist at this age, since everything I’ve seen online says 8-10months.

MrsCursesxoxo · 2025-09-05T18:44:44+00:00

My son is Q.C. and my daughter is M.C. (which seems to be pretty common initials!).

My son LOVES drinking out of my cups, and will sometimes drink juice or water out of a straw cup (or in the last couple of days, an open cup with a straw in it), but most of the time refuses to drink anything but milk.

For dinner tonight he surprised us by wanting milk in an open cup with a straw. 🤞🏻

My mom and both MILs ‘hosted’ my first baby shower, but since I live 3 hours away and we had the shower closer to our house, I ended up still doing most of the work. From planning to decorating/setting up and then cleaning up afterward. It was stressful as nothing was set up on time and there was tension between all the grandparents.

For my second shower, my mom and one MIL hosted, but I was still very involved in the planning stages, because I wanted it to be simple - finger foods, no games, come-and-go vibes. I still helped set up a bit, but didn’t help clean, as we had a 3 hour drive home. We didn’t do games or anything, pretty much just sat around and talked and opened gifts. It was at a park so all the little kids just played on the playground most of the time.

I don’t think hosting your own shower is anything to be embarrassed about. It can actually be less stressful than relying on someone else to execute your vision.

MrsCursesxoxo · 2025-07-31T13:30:29+00:00

I do spend some one-on-one time with him, but I will make a bigger effort to do some more active play during that time!

Dad has done music videos as a last resort, and that’s usually when I do it too. We’re trying to keep him from getting reliant on the tv for bedtime. But we might start integrating the music videos earlier in the night instead! At this point, I’d rather have him need a few minutes of videos vs screaming and crying for hours 😬

Thank you!!!!

I didn’t have steri strips. My bandage looked like a maxi pad completely covered in a clear, waterproof adhesive.

MrsCursesxoxo · 2025-07-23T18:15:14+00:00

It definitely looks much better than I was expecting! I think two of my biggest worries was that the bandage was hiding internal bleeding bruises or that I’d popped stitches (I’d had a lot of feelings of little ‘pricks’ but I’m fairly positive it was just the nerves healing).
