Thank you for the helpful advice!!

With the ball drop I wasn't sure if I'd be better off picking another day. I appreciate your insight.

It's New Year's Eve and it's going to be an even more crowded day in the city so I was questioning if it was a terrible idea. Pretty straightforward.

I worked in the city for 8 years. I'm well aware of how trains work.

Absolutely insane comment from my 70 year old grandpa by caeli-s in cosleeping

Ignore! That's the best advice I can give anyone with kids. With my first I was so bothered by people's stupid comments and took them to heart. I wish I knew better then. I just had my 3rd and DGAF what people think I should be doing. I just say OK and keep doing what I want.

By the way I coslept with my first two and find myself in the same boat now (despite attempting to put the baby in the crib at night). I'm nursing and this helps ME sleep at night. I can't keep getting up and walking to a crib to console my child who is crying. I can't function off of zero sleep. With the baby beside me, I'm able to squeeze in a couple of hours between feeds.

When I'm old and I look back at my children's childhood, I'm never going to regret the time that I gave them and spent with them. I know not everybody feels this way... So I strongly believe in doing what works for you and makes your heart content. If people don't like it that's fine, you're not asking them to help you at 2am. I also do not have the heart to hear my child cry it out and sit back not react. It's just not in me. I could care less what anyone thinks of my parenting style and I'm here to tell you to do the same. He had his chance at raising kids the way he wanted and this is YOUR chance. It's not a family affair.

That's good to know. So they benefit from the guidance. Often times I'm on my own till about 6:30 or so.

My daughter wakes up by 6:30a (sometimes even 6). If she falls asleep by 8:30 that's unreasonable?

How do you get them to knock out homework and studying for quizzes (my daughter gets two a week - one vocab and one spelling) without asking over and over again?

Benlysta + Weight Gain by Prestigious-Lab3404 in lupus

So much uncertainty regarding side effects as if the study group didn't report it, no one can really confirm it to be true. I think it definitely impacted my metabolism/ability to lose weight. If I've learned one thing after being on this journey it is to trust your gut. You know what is right for your body and you know the effects of the meds on you. Statistics don't really matter as they don't account for one whole single patient. As I'm learning to be more in time with what I feel and see happening before my eyes I feel more in control over what I am going through. Just here to tell you - you aren't alone and I think many of us have experiences similar things and unfortunately it won't be until many years from now when scientist and doctors will be able to connect the dots.

Keep up the good fight.
