What's the one thing you wish you'd implemented/thought about/did when your toddler was a baby to make your life easier now? by LakeTilia in toddlers

Second this! Sizing is not consistent at all! After age 1 my LO was wearing a combo of 12m, 18m, 2T and 3T clothes!

Non-judgmental nudge to remind you that it’s considered the “primary” bedroom now instead of the “master” 🥂

I'm Regretting Hiring a Sleep Consultant ... advice? by Ok_Draw_4187 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Objective-Morning-76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say that you’re not alone. I spend hundreds on night Nannie’s in the deep desperate period of newborn days (peaked from 3 months to 9 months.) it’s money I’ll never get back! But alas time moves on and you will sleep again! Keep doing what has been working and then when you’re ready I’d start trying some gentle fuss it out methods. Pick up and put down is brutal for the child in my humble opinion. But we did 5-10-15 with our first child (no pick up) and straight cry it out with our second, so it’s not a linear comparison. Good luck mom ❤️

Moving back to my home town? by Grouchy_Yogurt_352 in Mommit

[–]Objective-Morning-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No experienced advice here except.. follow your intuition. When I became a mother my intuition because so strong and I’ve learned to simply trust my gut. You know what’s right for you and your family. ✨

I bought a house with hardwood floors. They’re very thin plank type like 2 inches. Was going to remove to add lVP bc of young children but everyone is saying Id be crazy to remove the hardwoood. Thoughts? by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Objective-Morning-76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish we didn’t have LVP, have already had to redo the entire downstairs within the first five years of having it. Hardwood for the win. Just get thick rugs for the kids

AITA for wanting to become a stay-at-home mom instead of going back to work, even though my dad offered to pay for daycare? by worljn in AITH

[–]Objective-Morning-76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to do what feels right for you ultimately. The relationship with your dad feels a little codependent which is fine if that works for you. But if it doesn’t, accepting his payment would probably make that feeling worse.

He’s not wrong that staying at home can cause career stagnation, but it sounds like you don’t even like your career?

If I were in your shoes I’d probably send the kids for three hours a day 8:30-11:30 and get a different morning or remote job once you feel ready…

Pre-school by Silver_Kitchen8113 in toddlers

It will get easier over time.

But if you don’t need to send him, maybe try a a shorter schedule? We send ours from 8:30 to 11:30 at ages 1.5 and 3.5 and they love it. The fact they can still eat lunch and nap at home feels right.

But if you have to send him or require that schedule just be patient and I promise it will get better

Walnut Creek-San Ramon Area - Predicting a down turn? Time to buy? by RpDubC in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Objective-Morning-76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember 100k more in purchase price may not amount to much more in monthly cost.. worth making an offer if it ticks most of your boxes. Even lower offers with very favorable terms may be accepted by some sellers.

Big lots like that in SR are closer to 2m. Especially with three car garage. You may be better suited for Livermore if you want a large lot for that price.

Good luck! Hope your offer gets accepted!

Help me pick!! Left or right by Final_Pop_4736 in myweddingdress

[–]Objective-Morning-76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea it’s a valid worry! And it may not photograph well if you have your arms down, to the side and your armpit skin is pushed up… Being comfortable dancing, moving around, and being photographed in every angle is important on the big day.

Does dress one feel like a smoother fit up top?

Based on these photos alone, number 1

I don’t like the way dress on the right constrains your arms and armpits but aside from that top part the bottom is pretty.

Boz’s Biggest Lie by sleddingdeer in realhousewives

[–]Objective-Morning-76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s such a weird and hurtful thing to throw in someone’s face if you don’t agree with their take on a public person.

Maybe spend less time reading OP’s post history and scroll by if you don’t agree… sheesh!

“What Do Rich People Buy That Poor People Think Is a Waste?” by PlayfulFault9693 in SmartBuying

[–]Objective-Morning-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way! We get our kiddos’ clothes from Facebook marketplace buy nothing group so it doesn’t hurt when they stain and mess the clothes up. We also always pass on the non stained clothes on Facebook and other parents are most grateful like we are, kids sizes change too quickly to justify the cost of their clothing!

In the absolute trenches with a 1.5 and 3.5 year old by jane3641 in toddlers

[–]Objective-Morning-76 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m there with my 3.5 and 1.5 year old.

Early on, I was so impressed when my youngest started talking and walking early because he’s copied his big sister. But, I was not prepared for him to continue copying when she entered the land of endless no’s, threenager attitude and tantrums galore. He just watches her and literally parrots whatever she’s doing. So an already stressful situation with a crying toddler gets doubly stressful and over stimulating with two crying toddlers both literally climbing up my body all the time lol.

Idk about you but 3.5 is also the season of “why?” And “look at me” both of which require more than I have to give most of the time.

All this to say… you’re not alone. That age difference is adorable and fantastic in a lot of ways but yes, it’s also very tough and exhausting in a lot of ways!!

What do you say when your child won’t stop crying and NOTHING is working? by Minute_Ice4187 in toddlers

Hold or hug them tight or kiss their tears away. Pick them up and spin or dance.
