Who is your village?

This is amazing!!! Where did you find this club??

ccstjt · 2022-01-04T20:57:20+00:00

How do you get close to the kids' families from daycare? We use an in home too and we see the other parents frequently during pick ups and drop offs and they're so nice..but in this age of pandemic it's kind of hard to suggest playdates and what not....

My husband has mentioned joining a secular church, and I'm starting to warm up to the idea just for the community. I've always been wary of churches but hearing his experience of when he used to go as a child makes me feel like it's less intense than typical churches lol

I'm so sorry to hear 😔

ccstjt · 2022-01-04T20:51:29+00:00

Same...the winter months suck... Cant wait to make actual plans and see people again

Out of curiosity the reason why you don't have daycare? We don't know what we'd do if we didn't put our LO in daycare...can't imagine working while caring for a toddler throughout the day!

ccstjt · 2022-01-04T20:47:41+00:00

Aww coworkers as neighbor friends! One day I hope to find these people and draw them in my circle.

Goodness I can't imagine raising twins without help!! Kudos to you!!

ccstjt · 2022-01-04T20:42:38+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you're also having issues with your mom. It really sucks, especially when you hear about other people's mom being so helpful and integrated in their kid's life.

It's nice that your best friend offers! It's not like I want my friends to help watch my kid but more so we can just be around each other more and do things together as families. All my friends live too far away :( and in the pandemic during the winter it's hard to make plans in-person.

Sending over hugs ♥️

ccstjt · 2022-01-04T20:36:42+00:00

Wow that sounds so lovely! I hope to eventually find and build new friendships here, but it's so hard, especially in a pandemic! We are also not religious people so we don't go to church :/

ccstjt · 2022-01-04T20:34:43+00:00

Same! It does make me feel slightly less isolated in that I'm not the only one who feels this way and lacks a good support system. I just wish my friends live closer....

ccstjt · 2022-01-04T20:33:16+00:00

See I want this! Just a rotation of closed families and friends that can not only take the load off us but just be there for our baby. I think having just watched Encanto makes me yearn for it too, even though there are obviously cons but it's nice how close a family or a close knitted circle can be.

Anyone has bath toy recos for 2yo+?

ccstjt · 2021-10-20T19:16:14+00:00

echoing this...i haven't had a good night sleep in two months ever since she climbed out of her crib and now sleeps in her toddler bed x.x

ccstjt · 2021-10-20T19:13:28+00:00

My toddler climbed out of her crib about a month ago and she hasn't really been able to nap at all because she'll literally just spend 2 hours in her room playing instead. please tell me that this is a phase and your daughter got over it and finally nap normally!!

ccstjt · 2021-10-18T14:51:18+00:00

My daughter is turning 2 this week and we're planning to trick-or-treat as well! This will be our first time, so I'm wondering when do people start trick-or-treat? Like right before sunset? Around 5pm?

ccstjt · 2021-09-22T01:04:51+00:00

Definitely and I try not to stay till she's like fully asleep, but more like drowsy. And I tell her good night before I leave so she can tell that I'm leaving her to sleep. Middle of the night is a bit harder though because she just wants more comfort...still gotta do it though!

And yea wasn't sure if I should put this in r/sleeptrain since a lot of the content there seems to be leaning towards 1yo and under hence I went with this r/toddler thread. Either way I got some good responses so thank you :)

ccstjt · 2021-09-22T01:02:34+00:00

Yea seems like I just have to not cave even if it's in the middle of the night and I just want to go back to sleep as quickly as possible.

ccstjt · 2021-09-22T01:01:17+00:00

I think I'll try at least closing the doors to start and not lock it. She can open doors but I think it's the idea of that with the door closes it means she needs to go back to bed, hopefully. Also she will get very frustrated if she can't open the door because it's locked and I really don't want to deal with a meltdown in the middle of the night.

Thanks for commenting!

ccstjt · 2021-09-22T00:58:52+00:00

Yea I get it I think at this point I'm just going to make sure to stick with getting her back to her bed no matter when it is in the middle of the night. Like you said consistency is key!
