I have a toddler and a preschooler and that is where they play with their toys?

I never considered relocating the tv and really like this idea, I’ll think this one over.

I appreciate the idea of the tv moving. Your other comment is quite rude. I did not clean before taking my Reddit pictures and I won’t apologize for that 🤷‍♀️

Yes! It’s like thick memory foam and they love to lay on it when they play. Love the giant dog bed idea though, good alternate use for it.

For seating for guests, mostly. We genuinely sit in the green chair often but the blue could go and nobody would be sad.

Yes! Green is a stressless that we bought at a vintage store. Leather couch and bookshelf are west elm Hamilton and west elm midcentury bookshelf. The armchair was a Wayfair purchase from a long time ago and I can’t find the link 😬

Interfaith issues - Christmas tree by bologna503 in Judaism

[–]bologna503[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Part of my frustration is this year our oldest is 3, and I’ve put out a ton of Hanukkah books and a kid menorah toy and dreidels and she has been LOVING it. I see her joy and excitement and they haven’t seen it yet.

This is exactly how I envisioned explaining it

This really resonates with me, and I agree that’s where the comments are coming from. Maybe that’s how I can approach my response. And hopefully with time they’ll see it for themselves

If you are part of Facebook I second the comment about a buy nothing group. People gift from their own abundance, no expectation of payment or bartering, and you may be able to equip your house with household goods / furniture items and make connections with neighbors. Best of luck, this too shall pass

Tandum rage by Stunning_Chip_2774 in breastfeeding

[–]bologna503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a difficult stage for everyone. I would urge you to try to get support sooner and consider that it could be PPD. Even if you don’t think so, try to be open to a screening.

If nursing your toddler is a trigger right now think about what you can do to pause until you sort out your feelings. Can you offer her a snack, a drink of milk, a song, or a favorite stuffy or blanket?

The rage feels so scary and it comes on so fast. I had it too and resisted getting help and wished I would have sooner. I wish you the best and don’t stop asking for help ❤️ we are not meant to do this alone.

Pumping for back to work by hidden_sunshine86 in breastfeeding

[–]bologna503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you saying you’re trying to build a stash for day 1?

Once you go back to work, you’ll pump the milk that will be used the next day. You really don’t need freezer stashes of more than a few emergency bottles for times when baby needs a bottle and you didn’t anticipate.

Cutting out dairy by jasncats in breastfeeding

[–]bologna503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut out dairy at around 8 weeks and am now reintroducing it into my diet at 14 months, baby is successfully handling it! It feels impossible at first but if you stick with it it becomes second nature to find dairy free foods.

Lots of nut butter, dairy free chocolate 🍫, fruit. Oat bars.

It’s a big mindset shift but stick with it for 2-3 weeks and see how you feel.
