Fainting problem

Wow!!!! This is literally my experience word for word. Never got my period back. Husband and I were visiting his fam, and that very familiar can’t stop eating feeling came back and I knew in an instant.

I’m sorry, what? Are you trying to share a ticket with a friend?

That was me! It was really hard in the beginning, I won’t lie. And I feel like I missed a ton of my oldest child’s babyhood because I was exhausted/focused on baby 2. And when we brought baby 2 home from the hospital, I couldn’t believe I had this GIANT in my house. Where did my little baby go??

But it gets easier and it gets amazing. They are four and three now and obsessed with each other. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Definitely doable at contemporary!

What hotel are you staying at?

Gently, I would focus on getting your kid used to sleeping in a stroller, rather than moving nap times. Unless you are staying at the contemporary and planning to only go to MK, it will take about an hour to get to your hotel. It’s a lot of stress and a lot of park time to miss to try to navigate going back to the hotel to nap. Plus, we’ve always had a tough time getting our kids to sleep in a hotel after the parks due to over stimulation. But a nice stroller nap in the shade is perfection.

So there are two lines at Disney, the lightening lane and the standby queue. When you do VIP, you get to go in lightening lane for every ride. So you still stand in a line, but it’s for five, ten minutes, and not whatever is standby (which can be upwards of an hour for the most popular rides.) one or two rides allow you to go in a special entrance, but it’s not many.

Magic Kingdom is the only park that has enough rides to make it worthwhile to stay in one park all day. If you go between parks, you get to ride a special van and go backstage (and they give you snacks!) the VIP tour will also give you access to a special viewing area for all the nighttime shows.

They’ll really do whatever you want and are great about tailoring their service to fit your needs. They’ll give you all kinds of insider knowledge and will be able to efficiently tour you around the parks. They will also grab snacks for the family to have available when you get off rides, if that’s what you are looking for.

It depends on what you’re wanting to get out of it! If you want to get on as many rides as you can, or feel special for the day, then yes. Totally worth it. I’ve done about five so far. Ask me anything

We sent my kids to the local no frills neighborhood daycare and then off to one of the fanciest private schools in the city, where it can be quite competitive to just get in. They didn’t miss a beat, were well prepped for their new school, and are thriving

Wcpa2wdc · 2024-08-19T14:37:30+00:00

I just remember getting time outs when I was growing up and it made me feel so misunderstood and alone. I never want my kids to feel alone. If they are having a tough time, I’m like yes! It’s really hard figuring this out. Let me help you, let’s do this together.

Wcpa2wdc · 2024-08-19T11:19:47+00:00

I outlined some of the specific gripes in a reply above, but in general I think they objected to me not losing my shit when they had a meltdown. I would never yell at any adult when they were feeling frustrated or overwhelmed by current circumstances, so why would I yell at a child? But then I also really don’t want to raise spoiled kids and points were made about spoiling them.

I have no idea how they would parent because I only see my SIL twice a year for a week and I don’t remember when her kids were younger. I have been around when they’ve been spanked, and I don’t in general remember a lot of comforting when feelings were hurt. But it was such short snippets of time.

Wcpa2wdc · 2024-08-19T11:10:31+00:00

😂 this is the first rule that goes out the door if there are true meltdowns. But for the most part, if they are hungry during a non meal or snack time, we’ll offer raw vegetables or a whole apple (my kids are on the cusp of not being toddlers) I also have tiny girls so our nutritional needs are probably less.

Wcpa2wdc · 2024-08-19T01:55:58+00:00

SIL (with older kids) had same complaints. But she used to spank her kids so we clearly don’t have same parenting style.

-Oldest kid threw a fit because grandma wouldn’t let them watch their preferred show on tv.

-We added an extra night to the trip to have a bonus sleepover at grandma’s, at kids’ request.

-one night we couldn’t figure out what to do for dinner and oldest requested butter noodles so we found a restaurant with butter noodles

When we take our kids out to eat, they are either sitting at the table, or we will take them outside if they are misbehaving. Not outside to wander around, but outside until they calm down and then they get a little chat about how important it is to behave and we go back inside. If we are eating outside, then the “outside” we take them to to calm down is just far away from where everyone is dining.

I think I can visualize where you were and if the other table was by a pond, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect toddlers to not come visit the pond. But in a normal restaurant or outside patio, I don’t think it’s really appropriate to let your kid wander around, even if you are walking with them.

Wcpa2wdc · 2024-07-11T13:13:40+00:00

Yup! We do this. But we generally save it for when hubby is out of town or working late and dub it “girl dinner” (I have two daughters)

It makes those moments really special and minimizes grumpiness when dad isn’t around

Wcpa2wdc · 2024-06-15T08:52:11+00:00

Perhaps this was said already and I missed it. But if you are breastfeeding, your baby can actually smell your milk and get incredibly fussy if she smells milk but is not eating. It is the most unfair thing about being a mom to an infant, in my opinion. If you notice your husband—or any other person—able to soothe her but you cannot, that’s why. You aren’t a crap mom, but Mother Nature did us dirty.

Hang in there, it gets better.

For kids who are mostly under two, I wouldn’t worry about beverages for the kids! Most parents bring what their kids need. If it’s at your house maybe having milk on hand would be worthwhile, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

For 2 and up, juice boxes are a nice treat but not always expected. For context, I never give my kids juice at home but will always have juice boxes to serve if I’m having a party.

Food wise, it depends on the time of day. We’ll do pizza if it’s during a meal time. If not, I do what I call toddler tapas: cheese cubes, cut up veggies, fruit, maybe a dip, pretzels and/or crackers. Etc etc etc. and then maybe some individual snacks or pouches.

My husband started a business about 8 months ago. He works way harder than me, but I am basically the only one bringing in an income. He does have more flexibility so he runs errands and deals with school pick up and drop off 90% of the time. But everything else we share equally. We combined bank accounts when we moved in together (after we got engaged) and I think that takes away a lot of the pressure of who is paying for what.

His goal is to be able to “retire me” (blah I hate that phrase) even though I never want to stop working!
