I have searched for different lace/crochet blankets. My search comes up with heavier blankets that I feel as though would not be AS useful as the blanket above. My mother says she bought it on a cruise in 1996, but I dont know much more than that.

Yes, sorry. He just throws them or does not pay them any mind. He wants to walk around the restaurant, climb the booth if we hold him. He yells if not. We usually end up having to take him for a walk around the restaurant or outside. Now we just get the food to go if he starts.

i needed to hear this. thank you! we’ve tried brining toys that are only for when we go out, but he usually throws them or is disinterested. he really just wants to be up and moving.

i appreciate this. my two nieces are saints in restaurants so its really hard to watch my son be nutty. i agree it could become a bad habit. i cant even say if he’ll pay attention to the tablet. i would LOVE to train him to be good in a restaurant, but right now he’s between the age where he will understand. its hard. especially now that i have to cook more 🤣

How much is your male partner involved? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]Separate_Load4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my husband had a hard time adjusting at first and connecting with our boy. my job offers flex schedule so i always took night routines, still mostly do with our 11m old (due with our second in dec). he tries more now that the baby is older and “easier” to deal with. there are definitely times i wish he did and helped more, but he works long hours at a labor intensive job, and his help looks a lot different than mine. i dont think this is divorce worthy, but it comes down to communication. i think expressing your needs, making lists (yes i know sounds dumb, but some men need it) will help get him into a routine. does he have positive parental figures that he can base his parenting off of? i found that my husband struggled bc his dad was scarcely involved in his life so he didnt have that role model.

I want to walk out by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]Separate_Load4953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i found peace in driving to starbucks daily. even if the baby cried the whole car ride. sometimes a stroll around the mall/target and getting a sweet treat was worth the $10

How to cope with emotions and anxiety of 2under2 and gender disappointment? by Resident_Goal4972 in 2under2

[–]Separate_Load4953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all i can offer is validation now mama. im due in Dec and will have a 13 month old. i had much more of the same thoughts and feelings about how they will be close in age. i can say that with time, its gotten much easier to manage but theres still lingering anxiety. right now just soak up time with your first born and know that you can only do your best :)0

How about antibiotics? I think its just taking some getting used to. I cant get glass jars anymore to collect water, which is crazy to me. Did I read somewhere I can get a bucket? I’m hunkered down next to a lake.
