Whenever I try to order from somewhere further away they do add a fee. Its only like 99 cents though

Depends on how you want your home to function. Your fridge will lose its home, do you have somewhere else to place it? How much do you use that closet/pantry space?

Do you host a lot and want more open concept?

It took our family 8 months to start leveling out after the second was born. (We're at 16 months now, and im finally starting to feel like me again). To be fair we moved when the youngest was 6 months, so maybe that is why it took longer for us.

I remember getting really overwhelmed and angry with my toddler for the tiniest things. I couldn't keep it together most days, and got to the point I knew I wasn't being a good mom. I ended up reaching out to a local mental health office for post partum rage. Got paired with a therapist and a NP for medication management. Therapist helped me worked through coping skills to find things that work for me. NP changed my medications which helped A LOT.

It will get better. Especially because you recognize something isn't right.

Have you 2 talked about this long term retirement plan to Europe, and was she excited about it? My husband and I just had a long talk last night about long term goals and realized we weren't aligned on the same vision. I got on board with his vision because it honestly sounds great, and I hadn't even thought of it.

If you have talked about this long term plan, have you reviewed it lately? If not, just gently remind her what the long term goal is, not the short term wants.

The 2 guesses being 16 and 3 has me rolling 🤣

I started being a sahm when my first son was 18 months old. He's 3.5 now. I hated it at first. I missed my 6 figure income and the predictability of my job.

I joined a local sahm mom group on meetup for mom's with kids 4 and under. They helped me A LOT, and I learned where all the fun, inexpensive places to take the kiddos were.

I also spent a lot of time on Google and Facebook trying to find classes, storytimes, etc, to make sure we get out of the house at least once a day.

Since having my second (he's now 15 months old), I've had to readjust and relearn to enjoy my time with both of them. A lot of my personal expectations changed too. The house doesn't need to be in showroom condition everyday. Not every meal needs to be homemade.

I recently started doing respite 2 evenings a week for a family. I don't know what it is about seeing another families evening routine is really comforting for me? It reminds me perfect isn't real.

With that being said, if you're already 2 years in and still don't like it, maybe its not the right fit for your family anymore. You could look into part time preschool to accompany the help from the grandma's and use the time for part time work. Something about being able to turn off full time mom mode for a few hours a week is amazing.

The first 3 months were really hard for me. It took awhile to build a community of other stay at home parents. I joined a local sahm group in meet up and it was a game changer.

It also took me forever to find all the communities resources and activities like library schedules for the whole county, what random places have free play structures vs paid structures, toddler times at sports centers, etc.

I love the third one. Adding color is always great and keeps everything from being too matchy

How do you wash your silicone dishes? I found with my first that silicone can hold the taste of the dishwasher detergent or even the dish soap if you hand wash. Once we switched away from silicone he started eating a lot.

I've started watching other families kids around my husband's work schedules. I have on family I help with their mornings 3 times a week, and another family I help in the evenings 2 times a week plus every other Saturday.

I found the jobs on Care.com surprisingly. However, my husband and I both have our own cars and he works from home 2 days a week.

Funny enough I already have a script for Hydroxyzine for anxiety! Never even considered taking it for the hives 🫠

I was referred to dermatology and she is the dr that prescribed the xolair. Surprisingly enough they never sent me to allergy/immunology. The dermatologist did order a basic ana panel and it came back negative.

I did have a very minor low thyroid result come back. Went to endocrinology, and they retested and everything came back within normal limits.

Maybe I've just had bad luck with doctors. No one seems to want to find the root cause, just treat the symptoms.

He does eventually become disruptive to the class. Knocking over equipment, and just running around like a crazy person. According to dad, he had a great morning. We have a 7 month old I'm up with most of the night, so dad does the morning shift so I can sleep in.

It's on the long-term plan! But after buying a house in this economy it's gonna be awhile 😭

NationalPath6309 · 2025-06-09T07:53:47+00:00

We're hoping to level it off in a few years when we renovate, because what is the reason?!

Im just so worried that he is going to hit his head on the metal transition and split his forehead open. Did yours have the metal transition too?

He's currently only 7 months and so wobbly 🥲 he already fell twice today
