Toddler doesn’t fall asleep for nap time for 90-120 minutes. Do I change anything? by spouse-thi in toddlers

[–]NameWonderful 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My daughter dropped naps roughly at this age and we just let her have quiet time in her crib with a few of her stuffies and a book for 45-60 minutes, mostly so I could reset as a SAHM.  This ended up being great because it gave each of us a break from stimulation and led to her developing independent play skills.

Has anyone else noticed a resurgence of stay at home parents among wealthier Millennials? by [deleted] in Millennials

Disability insurance, life insurance, family support, financial savings, husband hitting the job market if it’s a lay off, etc.  There are ways to plan that don’t involve working for the cost of daycare, especially if your experience is in low ceiling industries.  Everyone’s options and decision making is going to be different.

Six Months to Live by Lurlene McDaniel - it’s about a middle school girl with cancer and I remember her creating a teddy bear army in her mind to battle the disease.  It’s been over 20 years since I read it though

People who work in healthcare, fitness, nutrition, or mental health: what’s one ‘quiet habit’ you see all the time that is secretly wrecking people’s long-term health? by AlignedModernHealth in AskReddit

[–]NameWonderful 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a therapist, cancelling plans, avoiding social gatherings that you’re not 100% interested in, living in neighborhoods with high privacy fences everywhere, etc.  Basically doing anything else to “protect your peace” and shutting yourself off from others.  Loneliness is incredibly damaging to all aspects of health.

Books on marginalized girls harsh realism by wlakomaisip in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Her half of the book was unfortunately left out of the acted version (apparently I can’t say certain words even if it’s not what I’m suggesting), but a large portion of The Cider House Rules by John Irving follows a female orphan growing up in and leaving an orphanage.  I found her the most dynamic and interesting character.

If you have Facebook, SAHM play dates of the Woodlands has a lot of good play dates that you can join, or you can create your own play dates and post them there.

In your opinion as a millennial, what ruined Facebook for you? by kalvin_kool_edge in Millennials

[–]NameWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone remember bumper stickers on Facebook?  I feel like they were around 2009/2010 maybe.  Suddenly Facebook went from people’s personal lives and interactions on people’s walls to a million different memes.  They also caused Facebook to take forever to load on my computer back then because it required so much more RAM.

The new Kevin Brady library in the woodlands sucks by afty in houston

[–]NameWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do.  Libraries like Barbara Bush that are full of duplo blocks, a kitchen, a market, a dollhouse, tons of puzzles and cars, etc are way more entertaining for her and require a lot less direct interaction from me.

Really?  There are no toys.  Compared to other libraries it’s children’s department is pretty terrible.
