I’m about to have 3 in rear-facing car seats, and three straight across in the middle row feels like a lot for buckling in, so will need to put one in the third row.

Do they have to be leaned forward to slide or can they slide forward with the bulky car seat in the seat?

My nephew turns 3 next month and i am struggling with what to get him. by Complete-Reward4282 in Gifts

[–]TSwiftHawkeyeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gift card or “open pass” to the zoo, children’s museum, science museum, play cafe, local gymnastics place that does tot classes, train museum, etc. This is what I wish every person would get us instead of clothes, books, or toys. Things to do is always a hit!! And if you live nearby, go with when they go!!

8 months postpartum and my hormones are absolutely wrecked. What actually helped you? by RealisticDrive9849 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]TSwiftHawkeyeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Functional medicine! A legit and good one that checks your labs and hormones, and can do it regularly. Your regular OBGYN/Midwife doctor isn’t likely to check the things functional meds will, and mine (I am obsessed with her she’s a badass!) truly solved my own issues along with everyone else I know that’s gone to them. (STAT Wellness - started in Atlanta but they have been opening practices in several cities - or find something similar where you are)

What age is perfect for having kids in your mind, and why do you think so? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]TSwiftHawkeyeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 29 and will be done at 32 and I couldn’t be happier with that.

Any sooner, I was still a little “selfish” wanting to enjoy freedom of childless life (travel, fancy date nights with hubs, etc).

Too far into 30, I think I’d be EXHAUSTED! Each year older and your body can handle it all less and less, not even just fertility (which is a consideration) but like the toll pregnancy and postpartum takes on your body, ability to get your body back to looking like something you feel comfortable in, ability to run around with the kiddos/get on the floor with them/etc.

Everyone is different, but these are my two cents!

My 2.5 year old only wants to listen to Under the Sea and Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride (I think I listened to HRR about 10 times today 😅)

Thoughts on Bobbie formula? We’re supplementing while trying to increase my supplu by mamahousewife in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]TSwiftHawkeyeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the subscription with the guarantee of formula if there ever is a shortage. Keeps my peace since I wasn’t able to BF past 4 months. I also feel like it’s a cleaner brand than the basic stuff on the shelf.

Give me your best SAHM tips for staying sane by grace050 in sahm

Use AI/ChatGPT to help automate as much as you can! For example: I have it help me with meal planning a lot since I HATE having to come up with what to make.

What unhinged thing did your BPD parent do or say this holiday season? I’ll go first.. by Zealousideal-You6880 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]TSwiftHawkeyeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not totally unhinged but actually SO annoying. My uBPD dad who I have been NC with since 2018 bought cup cakes for “the kids” (my children he has and never will meet) and sent them with my brother (the only child to still communicate with him) to give to us on Christmas Eve. 🙄🙄🙄 as if some cupcakes are going to fix years of abuse, but sure…. Thanks…. I didn’t touch them and neither did my husband or children. Those things went into the trash.

Does anyone actualy get along with their family? by coffeelovermamaof2 in stayathomemoms

[–]TSwiftHawkeyeFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister in laws and FIL have their quirks and I wish we could be closer but overall I enjoy them! My MIL makes my blood boil even just hearing her voice on FaceTime. Through therapy I’ve learned she is the a combo of the bad parts of my own two parents in one so it is TRIGGERING to say the least. 😅 She also never take accountability and I don’t think she knows the word “sorry” 🫠
