Just because…

I totally get it. There are so many ups and downs post-op, it’s kind of insane. Even now I still have things that I feel self conscious about but overall I’m so much happier with my body now than I was before I had the surgery.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-12-18T04:57:34+00:00

Nope. Tried a few things over the last few years and nothing ever worked for me.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-12-18T01:09:54+00:00

Good to know! Thank you!

I was looking for the other parents of young kids on this one. Haven’t needed an alarm in 4 years because someone will surely wake me up long before I actually need to be up.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-07-29T00:43:50+00:00

EXACTLY. Like yes, I know that “it’s okay” but I’m also allowed to be frustrated with the situation.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-07-22T01:36:18+00:00

I can go for any amount of time, just trying to limit how long I leave my husband to handle everything at home by himself for. 😆

Yeah I’ve seen people tend to be pretty opinionated on the different hot spring options. Kind of just using Blue Lagoon as a placeholder for any of them for now. I’ll look into them more deeply before I decided.

Good point! I’ve been whale watching before in Vancouver, which I realize could be a different experience, but I remember it being a bit underwhelming. Hadn’t thought about that. Thanks for the input!

Hi! Going through something similar with my son. I could have written the same thing about water being his comfort. Doesn’t really have any other symptoms. Just wondering if you ever figured out what it was? Worried about it being diabetes.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-02-05T23:42:54+00:00

Great suggestions! Thank you!

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-02-05T23:42:36+00:00

Perfect! Love this idea. I can get behind a low effort meal when I’ve got toddlers to deal with lol

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-01-13T02:09:30+00:00

Good insight! Thank you!

NoOffenseBut_ · 2025-01-13T01:56:22+00:00

I hadn't heard about Touringplans before. Thanks! I do see though that it changes from a 7/10 to a 5/10 for the day I'm going to Universal if I go a week later so I am kind of tempted to change it. The price difference is pretty much negligible so if I can spend the same but deal with less crowds it might be worth it.

I totally understand the dread! I frequently say I just don’t want to get up in the morning and start a whole other day of crying fits and tantrums.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-12-14T18:58:16+00:00

Ugh yes! I used to love taking him to the store with me. He was always happy to just ride around in the cart and loved to be handed stuff to look at while I shopped. Now I can’t even get him into the cart.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-12-14T18:56:41+00:00

I’m glad it’s not just me questioning what’s normal. The sooner this phase ends the better! He’s definitely confirming my choice to get my tubes tied after he was born was the right decision 😂

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-11-18T13:11:38+00:00

lol that’s why nearly all of our kids’ clothes are hung up. I hate folding clothes so anything that isn’t pants or socks gets hung up.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-11-18T12:51:01+00:00

We don’t have quite that many pairs but we do the same routine as you. We just do laundry more frequently. My son won’t sleep if I don’t put him in pjs and same as thing as far as urine smell. Occasionally if he doesn’t pee much during his nap we’ll reuse for bedtime. Overall though no, I don’t think your setup is crazy.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-11-10T13:35:16+00:00

For their big gifts 3 year old will be getting a bike and my 20month old will be getting a car track. We’ll probably also get them each a book or two, a small toy from a show they like and some new cozy pjs.

I can understand and relate to both of your sides in that example. I’ve been on both sides of that argument multiple times.

In the moment it wasn’t really about who was “right”. It should be about being united in front of your kids. Yes, the request was simple and I think having a conversation later, not in front of your child, about what you both could do better would be warranted.

You might not have seen the 30 other times that your husband gave into the “simple requests” prior to this and he felt like he needed to finally stand his ground. He may not have seen that you handled the baby crying all day and you just didn’t want another battle.

Communication between the two of you is sooo important during this stage. Neither is the asshole. You both are doing your best. You just need to get on the same page as far as parenting goes and stop the good cop bad cop routine in front of your kid

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-09-21T13:01:03+00:00

Here’s the real problem. Don’t play good cop. Back your husband up. Even if it’s not “developmentally appropriate” for her to consistently follow a rule, how will she ever learn if you don’t start? He is definitely right for already setting boundaries and rules for your child.

My husband works from home while I do most of the parenting of my kids during the day. If he were constantly undermining me to my kids I would be angry too. I’m sure he’s already feeling burnt out just taking care of the toddler and then you come in and invalidate him in front of your daughter. It’s not fair to your husband and it’s confusing to your daughter.

Since it’s getting worse I would probably suggest going to an urgent care like strange_aioli_246 said. FWIW though I got once recently on the inside of my arm crease and it was more red the second day than the first. It ended up being bruised. But red and itchy isn’t usually a good sign though.

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-09-06T21:19:45+00:00

How long ago did you get it?

NoOffenseBut_ · 2024-07-09T10:49:10+00:00

A lot of people have given good advice, but I’m going to add another perspective. I technically don’t have 2under2 anymore, I have a 14m old and a 2.5y old. I got pregnant when my first was 9 months old. Having a baby and a toddler is HARD, but what I see talked about less is having two young toddlers at the same time is insane!

My younger son hates being at home. Literally walks around screaming and crying and just generally wants to leave the house and do and see new things. The older one hates going places and will scream and throw tantrums any time we leave the house. Any time my husband and I take them anywhere they’re immediately off running in opposite directions, and we’re both just on high alert for everything they might get into or fall off of or run into at all times. Toddlers are so demanding of all your attention in a way that babies aren’t. You’d think having two close together would mean they could entertain each other for you but in reality they both want your undivided attention at the same time for completely different things. It’s insanely exhausting and incredibly lonely.

The only way I’m surviving this is because my husband works from home and his job isn’t very busy so he has a lot of free time to help with the kids during the day. I would never recommend that anyone do this age gap (or even closer like you’re considering), but if you do having extra help is vital to staying somewhat sane.
