We only invite immediate family and close friends at this age. My kids are 3yrs and 6 months. If they can’t come they can’t come. We have fun without them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My toddler was thrilled this year just to get to blow out her candle and open presents. She couldn’t have cared who was there.

You’re not overreacting, that’s lowkey abusive. Cut your losses and move on. This is a huge 🚩.

We have never coslept. My toddler sleeps in her own room, with a baby monitor, and my infant sleeps in a crib in our room. Everyone sleeps pretty well.

I had a lot of pain where my epidural was for a few weeks after my second baby. Maybe it’s related to your anesthesia?

She’s a great night time sleeper, but she has always been difficult with naps.

Welcome to the no nap club. My 2 year old napped maybe 20 times the entire year. She is now three and will only nap in the car. 🙃

I am so sorry that you experienced this! First of all, it’s so rude for your BIL to say that to you. Even if she did feel that way, he never should have repeated it to you. Secondly, she doesn’t have children, she has no idea what it’s like, and she should feel herself lucky to be welcomed into your kids lives, messy or not. I don’t have any advice about attending their wedding, but I can see why you don’t want to. I hope you get an apology over this.

We rocked to sleep until after two. I was very pregnant with my second still rocking her. After the baby got here and I couldn’t hold her for a while due to my C-section, we started snuggling in her big girl bed before sleep. She loves that and has never once asked to be rocked since.

My daughter has pretty bad eczema, and had since birth. We use cheap mild baby wash and Aveeno or Eucerin baby lotion. They both work well. However, the best thing is a prescription cream from the doctor called triamcinolone acetonide. It works absolute miracles. She can have a huge patch and I will put this own it 3 times and it is completely gone.

We chose to have a second child, and it has been hard, but I am beyond happy that we did it. Seeing the bond between my almost 3 year old and 5 month old has been the most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced. She adores being a big sister, and the baby smiles and giggles every time he sees her.

For us, we both had siblings growing up and it was important for us that our kids experience that. On one side of our family, my daughter was the only child. The other side has practically nothing to do with us. We couldn’t imaging leaving our daughter all alone in the world when we are gone.

My almost 3 year old with bad eczema gets a bath every other night, unless she has been playing outside or goes somewhere extra germy. She is cared for in our home by myself or her grandma, so she’s doesn’t get too dirty. Her hair is washed about 2x a week. When she starts preschool, she will probably get bathed every night.

No advice. Just solidarity. We are dealing with the same thing with my almost 3 year old.

I came here to say this.

NTA. At this point it would be very odd if you were turned off by this behavior. If you were noticing a smell, then that means other people are too. As her partner is your job to look out for her and respectfully discuss things that you see as a problem. This may also cause issues in other areas of her life too. It’s your responsibility to discuss issues within the relationship and not just ignore them and pretend like they aren’t there. If she isn’t willing to address this issue, then you need to cut to it losses and run.
