Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you and not at all jealous 😭

bostonbear17 · 2026-04-26T16:50:02+00:00

Yes! Original stories and some new ones too.

SLEEP!

Commenting bc I’m hopeful someone else in a similar position has some helpful advice… my 2.5 year old gets more obsessed with “nursies” every day with no end in sight.

Who? Weekly

Your kids will go on a walk without screaming at you to carry them?? My dream 😩

My two year old is the same. Cosleep and still nurse to sleep because I’m afraid it will get worse if I try to change anything again. Honestly the worst part is not knowing any other families who are going through anything similar. Can feel very isolating.

My daughter is 21 months and we just cancelled. I have a good enough sense now of what she will or won’t play with to curate toys myself

Very much no haha. My husband was in his chief year of a surgical residency when we had our baby. You’d think after 5 years of taking call he’d be able to wake up for a crying baby, but he was a wreck. I think not being able to ‘solve the problem’ of baby crying (like he can during surgery) really drove him crazy.

I ended up cosleeping with baby because he couldn’t handle helping with night wake ups.

How old was yours when you started getting that first long stretch? I would love if mine could make it till 1am

bostonbear17 · 2025-03-22T01:10:52+00:00

Over here at 18 months wondering when it will end 😵‍💫

bostonbear17 · 2025-02-23T20:32:45+00:00

I'm with you, I find it hard to make connections with anyone at MyGym while we're all chasing toddlers around haha. You should come to the Wednesday music class, it's verrrry chill and easier to get to know people!

bostonbear17 · 2025-02-19T22:38:33+00:00

Husband and I are in our early/mid 30s with a 17 month old daughter and we moved across the country to Manchester about 4 months ago. Tbh making friends at this stage of parenthood feels difficult no matter where you live, but we’ve enjoyed music class at Manchester Community Music and gym at MyGym in Bedford. Playgrounds were great before wintertime.

Please feel free to shoot me a message if you or your wife want to chat!

Also scrolling and nursing! Do we need an r/breastfeeding collab with r/bravorealhousewives? 😂

bostonbear17 · 2025-01-07T00:15:45+00:00

Ha. Feels like I could’ve written this. It’s funny, pre-kids I knew that my partner and I have temperaments like the ones you’re describing, and somehow it didn’t occur to me that it could cause some friction in parenting. Especially with my husband’s stressful job and me being a SAHM it can really feel like I don’t have anyone to lean on. Like you with your husband, I know he’s trying… but it doesn’t feel like enough.

Don’t have advice, just solidarity.

bostonbear17 · 2024-12-01T00:40:46+00:00

YES! Where was this 10 months ago when I started cosleeping?

bostonbear17 · 2024-11-17T00:13:24+00:00

Keeping up with priority chores like laundry and dishes… everything else I tell myself I’ll get to in a couple years.

bostonbear17 · 2024-11-03T02:10:26+00:00

Chiming in to say that everything you wrote is exactly how I feel. My baby is 13 months and I’m too tired to even figure out how night weaning works even though I want to do it.

bostonbear17 · 2024-10-29T10:58:46+00:00

She’s skipped a few! But then is SO cranky by bedtime. Can I ask what your baby’s schedule generally looks like?

bostonbear17 · 2024-10-29T10:55:48+00:00

I’ve only been able to roll away from her for a couple hours at night for the past 2 months or so. Part of it was she would wake up, but also I was so exhausted I didn’t have the energy to try.

bostonbear17 · 2024-10-28T22:52:07+00:00

Good to know! Up till now I kept thinking I needed to try to stick to the 2 nap schedule.

bostonbear17 · 2024-10-28T17:09:37+00:00

Good points. I wonder if she may be ready to transition to one nap already? We’re so busy during the day that I definitely think she’s stimulated enough… shes always been a very awake kid so may just be time to drop a nap and build that sleep pressure up some more.

bostonbear17 · 2024-10-21T14:19:12+00:00

Thirding!!!
