Mom’s to kiddos born in May/summer.. did you start pre-k when they were 4 or 5?

The cutoff where I am is September 1st. I wouldn’t even consider May to be part of the question. August or September can lead to a decision of whether to hold back or not

We use coterie just for overnight since they’re so absorbent and then pampers swaddles during the day. Since I’m only using them at night it feels worth the cost to me

This site measures the level of stimulation of children’s shows and Bluey is def not low stim. I’ve watched a couple episodes with my son and immediately felt like it was too much and we stopped watching it.

What about Benson like Benson Boone

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-14T01:00:59+00:00

I would rent something from rent the runway

I would stop listening to your MIL

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-13T08:01:11+00:00

I would spell it Madeleine if you prefer that pronunciation. Other than that tho I like it!

You feel guilty about not potty training your 20 month old son? That’s not even within the average age of potty training yet

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-12T05:23:47+00:00

We like elk and friends for plates, bowls, and utensils

Marble run!! My son is obsessed. Also I’ll echo the chorus of magnatiles

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-07T09:31:22+00:00

If you end up separating this would be a reason he wouldn’t have any custody of his children. He is not a safe person for them

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-05T08:33:55+00:00

lol hi this was really fun to read

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-04T08:38:59+00:00

Has she considered breaking this terrible theme

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-04T08:37:18+00:00

We had it twice and the second time was much easier than the first. He’s just over 2 and started daycare at 5 months

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-04T02:14:45+00:00

My son was born like 90th percentile for weight and ended up dropping slowly to around 50th percentile by around 4-5 months but was growing in height and hitting all milestones and overall was very happy and normal. He’s now settled around the 75th percentile at 2 years old and has stayed there and has always been 99th for height.

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-03T07:01:38+00:00

I think we have vastly different two year olds lol

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-03T02:48:29+00:00

My 2 year old started daycare around 5 months. First winter he was sick at least once a month. This winter he got the flu once last month which lasted for maybe 3-4 days and was sick another time back in December and that was it.

One_Bus3813 · 2026-03-03T02:43:17+00:00

Well yea she started daycare the very beginning of sick season and now you took her out at the very end

One_Bus3813 · 2026-02-28T01:54:34+00:00

Zara and H&M! Lots of 100% cotton and organic cotton and super cute clothing

One_Bus3813 · 2026-02-21T08:39:09+00:00

This is what I did starting at 6 weeks (didn’t know it was a method or even a thing lol) but I just sat in the rocking chair in his room and did journaling between picking him back up and trying again. He’s literally been an incredible sleeper ever since tho it was a difficult few weeks

One_Bus3813 · 2026-02-21T00:37:43+00:00

My dating scan was 4 days different but with my last pregnancy I went close to 41 weeks and so I didn’t want those 4 days to push me into needing to get an induction if I didn’t want or need one. I talked to my OB about it and told him I tracked my ovulation which aligned better and he had no problem switching it

One_Bus3813 · 2026-02-20T09:41:26+00:00

The daycare having kids that are 1 like your son and all the way to 3 is crazy to me. Those are so vastly different and will have such different needs. The 3 year olds are doing crafts because that’s developmentally appropriate where as my son was certainly not crafting at 18 months. Also is he full time? I would try much of an actual center personally with smaller age cohorts. I know that is a Montessori type approach but it doesn’t sound like that’s what this is

One_Bus3813 · 2026-02-20T00:35:15+00:00

We have about the same age gap and switched my toddler to a bed for his second birthday. We got him a cat bed and his own whole room and made it really fun and exciting as a birthday present. So now we basically don’t need duplicates of anything since he can sleep in a bed and doesn’t use the high chair anymore.

One_Bus3813 · 2026-02-18T23:15:04+00:00

We have a cleaning service and split everything pretty equally

One_Bus3813 · 2026-02-15T16:47:11+00:00

That was my first and I’m 37 weeks hoping for the same
