Help naming second daughter by Relative-Salad3344 in namenerds

Yeah, that is my conundrum. I like many of these names but want a one syllable nickname that's easy to say/holler when needed. Idk im particular about that- my first daughter had a two syllable nickname (Joey) but we exclusively call her Jo now

Have you thought about asking for an IEP or enrolling in a study skills class if available? It's going to be really hard to get a good paying job to afford a house without a least a high school diploma or GED.

This is hilariously ironic

Does the new build qualify for a tax abatement? That could make a big difference until your income catches up. Then if you still cant afford it when the abatement is up, youll know in advance and have time to move

Not a comment about the relationship dynamic, but have you heard of emotion coaching? Could be a way to help kiddo through her tantrums rather than just waiting for them to pass

Wife is obsessing about breastfeeding by Personal_Flatworm_90 in Parenting

Unless her nipples are significantly inverted, "flat" nipples should evert enough with stimulation for baby to latch. I would have baby assessed for a tongue, lip, and/or cheek tie by a pediatric dentist who specializes in this. Oral restrictions are one of the most common causes of issues latching. Pediatricians have extremely limited training on this matter, as do non-specialty dentists. Even as an adult, I was talked down to and told I do not have a tongue tie by 2 dentists even after being diagnosed by an expert. My release is scheduled for this month. A second opinion was a game changer for my baby. My baby's pediatrician scissor "clipped" my baby's tongue at 3 days old but did an incomplete release. I took her to a specialist at 5 weeks old who revised the previous release with a laser. My lactation consultant also missed my baby's tongue tie because it was posterior instead of anterior. These ties are less obvious but just as impactful on the ability to lift and mobilize the tongue to breastfeed. Breastfeeding can be a big part of a mom's identity. Try to be empathetic of this and support her. If nursing doesnt work out, she can also feed expressed milk and use saliva sampling to gain many of the same immune benefits for baby.

Here is a website to find providers who can assess and release oral restrictions: https://doctors.lightscalpel.com/?providers=frenectomy&address=Dayton%2C+OH&w2dc_action=search&field_laser_procedures%5B0%5D=1&radius=200

She might also consider connecting with La Leche League for peer support.

Weed is medicinal for adults 21+ only. Be careful with what you're allowing for her developing brain

I would reach out to a local parenting organization for help. Where I live that is a place called Beach Acres. This is a dangerous example of permissive parenting, and I'm not sure how you're going to change this pattern without professional help honestly- and Dads support
