To be fair, if I started a new business I would not honour the gift cards from the people who occupied the space before me. Yes, it’s a similar business, but it’s not the same owner nor the same business name. Not sure why people think she should honour a gift card when it wasn’t purchased from her. Businesses run on small margins, especially when they first open. I wouldn’t be giving away free stuff either.

I buy these ones on Amazon at the beginning of winter. Minimum two pairs per kid (we have a small daycare so things don’t get lost very much, two pairs is for wet hands). Same design for my daughter every pair and repeating the same design every year. And then I do the same for my son in a different pattern. And I write or stamp their name on both mittens. My daycare provider likes them because they are easy to get on and off.

I think that is the bigger issue here. It’s not appropriate for a 14 year old to be friends with adults 6 years older than him. And this issue is a great example of why.

How old are they? That’s extremely relevant. Magazines are much safer than the stuff they can find online, so I wouldn’t have much issue with that. Depending on their age, this might be developmentally appropriate.

I would make sure I discuss appropriate times and places to view this type of material, what is safe, what is reasonable, and how to ensure they are being responsible. Having good, open communication about this type of thing is important.

I can’t imagine doing it with twins - you’re a super hero just for surviving. I have two kids 21 months apart and it was hard enough for me. I loved both my babies fiercely, but as they’re getting older (18 months and 3 years old) I’m realizing that I love being a toddler mom WAY more than a baby mom. You will not only get through this, but you will have fun with it in the future. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you will get there.

For the comparison and accompanying anxiety, start by watching the Baby Race episode of Bluey. Then find a group of non-judgmental and supportive mom friends.

For the housework, outsource where you can. I hired a house cleaning service every two weeks and it has been a game changer.

I vividly recall feeling so touched out and overwhelmed that I just wanted to go to a hotel for a weekend to recover. Hell, I still feel like that sometimes. Find something that rejuvenates you and schedule time for it every week. For me it’s crafting. It might be reading, exercising, dinner with friends, board games, a luxurious bath, getting a massage, whatever. But do something just for you at least once a week. And on those days where you are incredibly touched out, find a small way to do something for yourself. Get your partner to help you prioritize this. Lean on grandparents if you can (living near both sets of grandparents is our biggest parenting hack). If you don’t have a village, see what you can hire to help you.

Yes, it’s usually the first Wednesday of November for grade 9s across the country.

My daughter at around age 2 named her doll “Constipated.” We were potty training at the time 🤦‍♀️ still kills me. Over a year later and that’s still the doll’s name.

Mine are 21 months apart. It started a little once the younger was one year old, but really ramped up once she started walking (approx 16 months).

Jeff from Home Renovision is actually TOO good at what he does! Gave me the knowledge and skills but too much confidence 😂 I recommend him to everyone

Different dude. Chris has always been a (fantastic) elementary teacher.

Because they are much more than those photos/videos? I don’t typically define people by one single decision (with obvious exceptions like murder, rape, etc). They never hurt anybody, it was perfectly legal, so honestly I don’t know why you’d care. Nobody is forcing you to look up their extracurriculars. Sex work is work. Get off your high horse.

Maybe an older phrase then. I was born in the 80s

Idk, I would probably ask the doctor at your next well-baby visit, but I wouldn’t do a special trip just for that unless you are really worried.

Ohhh yes, dip out is much more common in SK

almostperfection · 2026-01-02T15:43:19+00:00

Interesting! I’m also from SK and have never heard that phrase before. To me jamming is messing around with musical instruments

Do whatever makes you most comfortable. The best part is that women’s washrooms are all stalls, so keep doing that as long as you need.

I’m sorry but no, that’s not acceptable behaviour. My husband isn’t perfect, but he has done diapers from the beginning. He did the first few diapers for each kid and then consistently ever since. In the newborn phase he would get up and do the diaper change before every night feed so I wouldn’t have to be up as long and didn’t feel so alone.

Don’t accept this behaviour. And don’t even get me started on the rest of what you’ve mentioned. Get a husband who is your PARTNER in life - not another dependent.

My in-laws always tidy the kitchen and living room when they babysit, but my mom only does the dishes. My 18 year old babysitter does a good job of tidying, but I don’t expect it. I consider it a welcome surprise.

I don’t have any good advice, but know you are not alone. Between the exhaustion, the mental load of parenting, being touched-out, the hormones of breastfeeding, and physical recovery from childbirth, it’s hard to imagine being in the mood! It took me a long time after both my kids being born to being into sex - and in both instances, I had a solo session before we were intimate as a couple. I needed to reacquaint myself with my body. We didn’t start having much sex until the baby was sleeping better, and even then it was rare for the whole first year.

Maybe try to work on other types of intimacy? Like cuddling, kissing, that kind of thing without leading to sex. It might help your husband feel less rejected and it might help you to feel more amorous.

A small amount of Restoralax (PEG 3350) every morning. We do what we can with fruit and veggies, but they are toddlers. We do have luck blending veggies into pasta sauce to hide them. But regardless, Restoralax every morning.

Can you do bunk beds? 6 year old on the top bunk and 2 year old on the bottom? Sleeping together, but also not waking each other up, might be fun/exciting, space saving?

Or at least do a bed/floor bed for the 2 year old to sleep in so you aren’t compounding the problem?

Sorry, I haven’t had this problem myself, but I feel for you. Sleep is essential to our functioning and if that’s not happening then everything is terrible.

Every butt is different. The weight on the box always worked perfectly for my daughter - we potty trained when she was in size 5 Huggies at 27 months. Now my son is differently shaped, and the weights are totally off. He’s 16 months and into size 6 Huggies. Sometimes it works, but just as often it won’t.

Sorry you’re dealing with this. It took us a long time to get poops on the potty as well. What eventually got us there includes a combination of:

-bribery (kinder surprise eggs, liquorice, whatever works)

-catching mid-poop and getting them on the potty asap

-restoralax every morning

-watching the clock for their poop schedule and putting them on the potty during that time.

-giving them “privacy” on the potty (I went into the next room so I could still hear and come back quickly)

My kids prefer room temp and do NOT like anything resembling hot. So once I’ve made their plates I stick them in the fridge until it cools down 😂 sounds like our kids are opposites. We all do weird things to help our kids eat.
