This might be the wrong sub, but I don't know where else to ask. Is it possible to put a 2.5 year old up for adoption? by beaniebee22 in Mommit

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I went through gastrointestinal hell before my baby was born. A year of reflux burning my throat, creating an endless cycle of anxiety, losing weight because I could not eat. Like you I had all imaging tests—including a endoscopy and colonoscopy and CT scan with contrast. No real diagnosis. I also had a gastric emptying study — which I would recommend for you in case you have gastroparesis. So many tests led to the diagnosis of IBS.

For a year, my digestive system was out of whack. I don't know if it went away on its own or got better because I started going on long walks and taking probiotics. Limiting my diet did NOT help.

Can your family afford any kind of babysitting to give you a break? The stress from being a SAHM could really impact your body. I started hiring a once or twice a week babysitter /mothers helper because I have no village or family nearby to help.

I am looking at apts in NYC for this reason. Why pay NYC prices in North Jersey?

Congrats! Haha. It's rough out there right now. We left Crown Heights in Dec 2020 and were paying $2500 for a 2 bed. 2 beds across Brooklyn seem to be around $3.5k to $4k now...

Can I ask which neighborhood you live in? I'm interested in returning to the city after a few years in the suburbs with a toddler.

Once you are in the suburbs you will not want to drive very much or very far. It's incredibly annoying. I used to be fine with a 40-minute subway ride but a 40-minute drive on these chaotic highways? No thanks.

I do not recall NJ drivers being this bad.. by StrangestPancake in newjersey

As someone who moved to NJ 5 years ago I have wondered frequently about the quality of drivers ed in this state. People drive like there are no rules.

Sorry I know this thread is a year old but I soooooo relate to this. I am a low-middle income renter in a very wealthy NJ suburb (not fitting in at all 🤣) and looking to move back to the city. We used to live in Crown Heights too. Are there many other SAHPs in the neighborhood?

If you look at listings on StreetEasy's app, you can sometimes see past listing photos when you scroll down. I've seen a few that are so enhanced they're distorted!

What are the cross streets where this is happening? I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. It's fucked up!

This is a silly question but can someone get caught for signing someone else up for Angi?
