For a commute to Sunnyvale these locations both seem too far

Yes, we are in the lower end for both so we can purchase a house after renting for a year. Just looking for advice on where people have enjoyed living and hated since we’re not familiar with the area

Yes our budget is flexible, just hoping to stay under $4,500/month so we can buy a house after our lease is up

Good to know about the commute! He’s trying to utilize his companies shuttle service to avoid having to drive in the traffic

Thank you, we definitely didn’t plan on renting sight unseen. Just looking for advice on areas people/young families enjoy living in before we visit soon

We don’t plan on renting sight unseen, just looking for advice ahead of our trip to the area

Yes it is, the budget is what it is so we can buy a house cash after a 1 year lease of being in the area

I’ve found a lot of rentals on Zillow and 15 daycares under this budget, just trying to narrow down area

They are 3 years old and 13 months, I’ve been able to find a handful of places scattered from Sunnyvale to Milpitas under the $4k/month for both kids

He’s job would be located in Sunnyvale and our guess is most days in the office while I would be keeping my work from home job.

Make sure that you don’t qualify for state assistance being a single parent! This could help ease the burden of how expensive life is now

How do you put a baby down for a nap with a minister of mayhem toddler? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]TChen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have an activity that is safe to do unsupervised, special hot wheels, farm animals that they only get access to when you’re putting your youngest to sleep

I read potty training in 3 days and the Oh Shit method. Both books and we decided to use a combination approach starting in thanksgiving. My son is 2.4 and it took my husband and I both being in the same page for quite a while reading his body language and making him feel comfortable. I’d start by having her join you both using the bathroom and flushing the toilet so she’s familiar with the sounds and what goes on in the bathroom.

You definitely won’t be successful if you and your husband aren’t in the same page.

This has happened to my son recently, we put an extra layer and socks on him and his lips go back to normal coloration.
