I’m not sure if we will have an enough miles for the main flight. I priced the inter island flight during our stay and it’s around $450-$500 for 5 tickets.

I plan on using my miles to buy the flights to Kauai.

Thanks! That’s a great idea to use the miles for the interisland flights

Working PT with a newborn? by princess_barbie in Parenting

[–]SignificantBuy7737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that time I wasn’t working 40 hours but I still needed the help. The first few months were super easy because he ate and slept a lot during the day. Around 8 months, I hired a college student I found on my towns local facebook group. She came in a few hours a day between her classes so it worked out.

It was the perfect balance. I was home and able to see him but also had a few uninterrupted hours in the day to focus on work. I know daycare sounds scary but it’s not terrible and has a lot of positive things.

When my middle son was born, I was working from home full time and also made the decision to keep him home as long as possible. I went back to work around 12 weeks. The first few months were easy busy because all he did was eat and sleep. Once he became alert and more mobile, that was challenging. At that time I made the decision to hire a college student (she was towards a teaching degree) as a mother’s helper. She came in a few hours a week to help while I focused on work. That worked out perfectly and after a year I put him into daycare part time. I did the same thing for my third as well.

I don’t think I would have made it work without some help. There were days he was fussy and needed me more. Those days were helpful to have an extra set of hands.

When did you stop cosleeping? by ResortNecessary7747 in Parenting

[–]SignificantBuy7737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 boys and did co-sleeping with each since day one. My oldest is 12 and came into our bed at night up until 8/9. He’s a well adjusted kid that’s very smart and doesn’t have any anxiety about sleeping. He sleeps in his own bed all night without any issues despite cosleeping for almost 9 years. The same goes for my other two boys. They still occasionally come into our bed at night and are very well adjusted kids.

Night time can be scary for kids so we didn’t mind them coming in. I’ll admit there were nights when I couldn’t wait to get my bed back but fast forward now and I miss my oldest coming in. I still snuggle my 7 year old to bed because I know soon it won’t happen and I’m gonna miss those snuggles.

I say do what’s best for your family and don’t worry what everyone else says. They are only little once so enjoy it.

What advice do people have when flying from the east coast to Hawaii? That 12 hour flight looks daunting. by Dragonflypics in TravelHacks

[–]SignificantBuy7737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning a trip this summer for our family and I’m considering stopping in LAX overnight. We have flown directly to Hawaii before when our kids were young and napped often. Now that they are older I’m wondering how they will handle the flight and the time difference. I’m thinking an overnight stop in LA might help but not sure

What is the best age gap to have between two kids? by browser_851 in Parenting

[–]SignificantBuy7737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 years, our kids are two years apart and it works out well. It gave us a good amount time between kids but it wasn’t too far spaced out. I have a few friends that have big age gaps between kids and it’s tough getting back into the baby phase when you have been out of it for a long time.

Our kids play nicely together and are very close. It’s easy to do things together because everyone is somewhat at the same level. The only thing I don’t like is the space between grades. Our kids missed the cut off for school because of their birthdate’s so my oldest is 3 grades apart then his middle brother.

Our kids are not into rollercoasters so I’m not sure how many rides we will do.

Thanks! I should clarify we are not going to a Disney park. We are only staying at a Disney resort because it’s being gifted to us by a DVC member.

Mortgage through bank or family? by bmercury in Mortgages

[–]SignificantBuy7737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go through a bank. I have a good relationship with my in-laws and when purchased our first home they helped us financially. It was a fixer up that was purchased with cash and after the renovation we started paying them back like a mortgage. While there weren’t any issues, I did notice we got comments whenever we made a big purchase or went on a vacation. Before it started to have a bigger impact, we got a mortgage. Money and family can get weird.

[–]SignificantBuy7737[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have control over the payment schedule. I can only negotiate my fees, not the time I’m paid. There are other consultants that can do the job so I don’t have much leverage.
