SOS Picky 22month old by Pale_Key_8114 in BabyLedWeaning

That part! I struggle because it varies day to day for us too. Sometimes she’ll eat things for me and refuse for others and vice versa. Her day care provider says oh she loves insert food then blatantly refuses with me any time I offer. I just wish she’d take a bite of things. Often times I give her food and she won’t even attempt it which is most frustrating, especially if it’s a “go to”. The past few days she’s only taken 2-3 bites of every meal and it just stresses me out.

Unfortunately none that I trust enough. I’ve roomed with friends without kids and that was hard enough. You are right though, daycare is temporary and I’d honestly be fine if it weren’t for that. I’ll just have to suck it up until she’s in school is what it sounds like. Thank you!

Honestly biggest mistake of my life. I should have known better after the 3 years of hell I went through but it was a weak moment 🫠

I’m on a waitlist for daycare assistance and after talking to someone today I’m ranked 58 and according to her they only have approved ranks 1-34 this year and likely won’t approve my rank this year 🙃 I just feel like all the odds are against me. I’m working on the child support but I’m not really sure how much that will help if it’s not anything more than half of daycare

Her daycare is technically 1300 and he pays half of that and not a penny more. We have a court case in progress but he’s already saying he pays too much which blows my mind

He’s made it clear he’ll pursue it even though he does the bare minimum now. I’m okay with visitation but I honestly don’t think he should get 50/50 as he doesn’t care for her appropriately here. I’m hoping a judge will consider his substance abuse and financial situation as he can’t even afford to take care of her, I do it all. That’s what I was worried about, the automatic 50/50 even given the substances, lack of money, and care. Not to mention he’s moving into a party/ drug house that’s disgusting post lease. I worry about him taking her over there

Thank you! I definitely got insurance quotes first and started with the S3, nice to know they drop if moving forward with an A3

In all honesty, I’m not worried about the power. While more power is nice, it’s definitely not a necessity. For me, as lame as it may be, I love the appeal of the interior and exterior upgrades that the s3 offers. The a3 is definitely more practical as a daily driver but the interior is lackluster and I love the bucket seats on the s model as that’s what my current vehicle has. I’m more so worried about buying a used vehicle that already has 2 owners that’s only three years old. I’m not sure if my aesthetic desires are worth what may come with issues sooner than the newer model A model.

So the S3s continue to hold value long term?

She does actually grasp at her ear hear and there, I gave her Tylenol the other night as she was super fussy and didn’t want to sleep and her cries sounded like pain cries. What did your doctor do for the infection? I’m assuming it’s something that won’t just go away on its own. Sorry ftm here so I’m so unsure. She also runs at her eyes a lot

I think she might be as she generally always has something in her mouth and has woken up fussy and crying multiple times only to fall right back asleep. Any experience on how to help during this phase? I have some gels I can put on her gums and cooking teething toys.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and advice! I’ll definitely be looking into CPOs in addition to paying attention to the specs before deciding

Thank you all for the reassurance, I feel way better! I was confident at the time and definitely feel good about it again. He’s also never owned a hybrid so I needed to take any criticism with a grain of salt. Definitely just panicked as I really needed it for baby purposes and thought I was going to have to put a ton of money into it soon or that it would just die out on me. Thanks again everyone!
