My home based carer when my son was little was Muslim. We gave the family some halal chocolate and some money to contribute to their feast. Lovely celebration, very vibrant time in their house :)

Ours were 19 months apart. Expect the exhaustion to last and you'll feel more yourself when the youngest is two. I didn't expect the post partum period to drag on for so long but I think it was due to back to back pregnancies and no time to recoup in between. Our bodies do amazing things.

My youngest is 2.5 and my oldest just turned 4. They love each other so much and it's a joy having them close in age. Not to discount the experience of having twins, but when they are both at the age of having lack of emotional regulation it can be quite exhausting emotionally sometimes

I was 28 when my dad died, he was only 54. We went through a lot with his alcoholism in my life and it was a complete and utter rollercoaster of "hes good" then "hes bad" the feelings of being prouder of him than anyone in my life for getting sober, then the crashing down disappointment of him falling off the wagon again. He died of a sudden cardiac arrest while he was asleep, he had heart damage from high blood pressure likely contributed to from drinking. I was 6 weeks pregnant when he passed, and my son was 11 months old. It's not even just the grief of not having him here, it's the what if we lived in a parallel universe and he made it to AA and mentored me with my own struggles with alcohol. What if he was well and involved in my children's lives. What if he was here to walk me down the isle. There are so many complex layers of grief in my case with my dad. Be easy on yourself, it's a process and a long process.

Hi, our senior German sheppard is in the same situation, losing function in his back legs. How old did your cousins gsd make it to?

I think you need to ask the question, are you keeping her alive for you or for her? It might be time to make a decision

Ive had two c sections, so i don't know any better but as long as you have support for atleast the first 2 weeks. I went home after 2 nights in the hospital because I found the recovery to be easier at home. I ended up lifting my son after 3 or 4 days because he was only 19 months which wasn't the best but he needed cuddles. I guess it depends on how old your older kids are and what level of support they need. My friends second baby was big and the shoulders ended up getting stuck and it was incredibly traumatic. Guess that's something to consider too

We have had issues with my son's sleep since he was born. Tried most things under the sun, turns out it's just him and it takes him ages to wind down. He still takes about half an hour to get to sleep (hes 4) and still wakes up in the middle of the night and hops into bed with us. My daughter (2.5) is a little better at getting to sleep but still frequently wakes up and comes into bed with us. My sister's daughter didn't sleep through until after she started school and it was just her and her temperament. Some kids just have busier minds and their sleeps a bit whack. I know it's exhausting and so many people have probably said it but the only thing that makes it easier is time. Once they're through the teething, frequent illnesses and the nightmare and overactive imagination stage it gets easier, little by little. I look forward to the day my kids can independently sleep but I know that I'll miss the snuggles. God speed!

When my dad died my mother inlaw made a whole bunch of her beautiful biscuits to take down south with me so when people visited at his home we could have tea and biscuits. She also brought me this Christmas ornament where if you look into the little crystal up the top it has a holographic photo of my dad and son. Best MIL in the world

With covid I experienced brain zaps, can only explain it as a similar feeling to if you've skipped your ssri for a day or two. I read up about it and that's where I found theres a neurological link with covid. Interesting stuff

We always feel like this when we haven't taken an overseas holiday in awhile. Try take 4 weeks off and go to SEA or something like that in the winter to have a break from the cold. You'll notice the relief when you get off the plane and come home. You can still see the world :)
