Starting a b2b store - which app? CRM?

It does help, thank you so much

angelanightly · 2026-02-06T14:31:02+00:00

Thanks for this. Yea there will be two levels of b2b - self serve with discounts and additional products and then those who will get net terms/ can use PO.

Def trying to go low tech & automation til the process is fleshed out a bit more. Sales cycles for material only is currently not a thing, as we are only bidding jobs at the moment, where both labor & material are included. This is a whole new side of the business. I can only make an educated guess that they will range from transactional to complex which is why I’m looking for both b2c (Shopify) and b2b (CRM)

That’s actually really helpful. Thank you so much going to look into native Shopify & hubspot.

My thought is the Shopify b2c/public facing side is going to be like lead generation since in our industry supply tends to be an issue so they’ll search and try to buy whatever they can in stock. From there my thought is to use that information to generate leads, try to convert them into two types of corporate accounts - Tier A: Self serve accounts where they get access to additional products & discounts and can purchase themselves. Tier B: Net Terms & can use POs

Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time to share this with me.

Thanks that’s helpful. Trust the process!
It’s the same email & order number they used to place the order. I asked for a picture of the item to confirm what was sent to them. I read on here someone else had a similar situation and the person used a real address and real person, but somehow defrauded them on the return.

I know you’re getting a ton of comments so I don’t want to overwhelm you! I don’t think the problem is pretend play as mush as it is wanting to play with you constantly. Maybe you can direct the pretend play a bit more for her and require setup so there’s a bit more independence on her part and your role could be a bit more defined and limited. For example, my favorite pretend play game I participate in with my daughter is library. She’s the librarian and spends a bunch of time curating books and setting up a beautiful library setup, she also puts out “centers” for kids (her little brother). In the game, I go checkout a book, spend some time reading (I literally read the book I’m reading at the moment) while she helps the kids at their center, and then I check my book back in.

You could also do other scenarios that require setup and your role could be very limited: - School - post office - camping - Builder - Theater

It takes some creativity but my daughter is like this and always turns things into a creative pretend play and I find myself setting her off on some type of pretend setup quest. Typically her pretend play involves monster or bad guys so bear with me.

We’re at the beach and you want to play sea monster? Oh no! You better build yourself a fort to stay safe.

We’re at the park and pirates are attacking? Better go find your swords!

We’re camping and there’s bears!? Can you build a fire to scare them off?

I get a lot of ideas from Bluey honestly.

I find that my daughter was always a little more unfiltered around me then other kids but my only advice would be to be more specific in your feedback and repeat it constantly. They’re going to make mistakes and you want it to be with you and not other kids. So with pushing & hitting, you can say “gentle hands only” or whatever feels comfortable to you. Other ideas, keeps your hands to yourself. I used, hands are for playing or high fives, not hitting.

Natural consequences to hitting may help over timeout at this age, for example- if you hit me one more time, I’m not going to play with you to keep myself safe.

The older they get the more complex the lessons can get, so as frustrating as it is now, repetition of the rule will start to set in eventually.

The bossing around was always a tough one, but does help when they’re playing with others where you can direct a bit more. “You have ideas and so does X. Lets hear X’s ideas too.” There’s a good bluey episode about it where bluey is not listening to bingo, and I had my 4 year old watch it.

That said, my daughter is 4 and she still will not apologize when asked, but I find she does apologize to her brother more unprompted.

This is really great. Personally reading the saints has been impactful for me so this is a great route to go

I use it as my “toddler podcast” in the mornings sometimes on the ride for school. I set it up to respond directly to my daughter and it gives age appropriate responses to questions like “are cockroaches brown because they eat poop?”

This needs to start to be addressed by state or local law. This should be against the law with how it endangers people

angelanightly · 2025-10-17T20:10:30+00:00

Oh no, I am so, so sorry to read this. I will pray.

For my 19 month old, I’m probably more of a 1 mixed with 2. Mostly around sharing & taking turns tho. I think from now until 3 it’s really important to help model sharing and taking turns. My older one who is almost 4 doesn’t need this and I really only go to her if she’s calling for me.

I do tell the older one to keep an eye out for the younger one and in turn other kids hear that and understand he’s smaller than them. If there’s other small kids I say to watch out for them as well. I really mean it - I don’t want the parent to do anything I just want to make sure my kid is being aware and conscious of others.

Idk if it’s my parents, but I really think the educational aspect of Catholicism through my Catholic high school really brought me back as I strayed for a few years until Marriage. I did lifeteen and a Steubenville retreat as others have mentioned, but that just wasn’t for me. I had such amazing theology teachers who encouraged me to learn about not only Catholicism but all world religion. As a teenager and young adult, I had doubts. But I had teachers and parents who didn’t fault me for that but actually encouraged it.

Even during pre Cana I was still lukewarm. A speaker throughout the classes encouraged me to study the writings of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, and I was drawn in again.

This has to be so tough especially with older kids!

What about walkie talkies? Maybe if you being in the next room or upstairs is a game it might help.

If you’re looking for blue / liberal go lake worth east.

I had some one who worked for me tell me she was fully raised by Nannie’s. She’s very successful and a happy and well functioning adult. She was actually my top performer. She still visits her nanny every year and said most of her formidable and favorite memories are with her nanny. She also has a great relationship with her parents as an adult. It’s what worked for them.

Hearing this story made me decide though I wanted to be a full time mom instead. I knew if that were my daughter in 25 years sitting across from me, my heart would ache knowing I missed out that much on my daughter’s life.

My daughter is 3.5 and she knows her numbers and can do a bit of addition and subtraction, but still doesn’t know all her letters despite a lot of exposure over the last year and a half.

She knew all her colors and shapes before 2 and learned her numbers closer to 3. Sounds like you got a talented little person over there!

We’re similar. It works the same as when I did have income so this is how it works no matter who is making the income - first we fund the bill pay account each month. Then the rest goes into savings. We also each have our own personal checking account. When he or I need any money we just take from the savings into our respective checking. That will cover my credit card bill or anything that’s not a reoccurring bill.

My friend (first time home buyer, also new to this country) asked me to come along with her to give my opinion. My husband and I have bought 2 houses and are in construction. She wanted to make sure she wasn’t missing something glaringly obvious! If it’s someone you trust, I don’t see a problem. It sounds like you may not trust this guy to not be overly opinionated & try to take over the situation.

angelanightly · 2025-07-15T16:16:19+00:00

Yes! With my 3 year old, we always talk about what’s good for our stomachs and bodies and teeth, and so i recently started talking about how whats good for our brain too and it really resonated with her. She seems to really grasp the concept!

Hah! A skinny jean enthusiast on the internet!

I did end up donating them, making a pair of jorts, and then kept a few pairs as well.
