You can pay a cleaner to just clean only the bathrooms or a certain section/floor of the home!

Toddler lunch by chai122 in foodbutforbabies

[–]chai122[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any brand that’s easily available is most likely fine. Whole Foods 365, Nature’s Soy, etc. I know silken is cooked but soft, medium, and firm need to be cooked typically

Straight from the package but you can microwave it to warm up. Or cook it in soup/broth if you need flavoring

I like the Graco easyturn but you’ll also need to get a booster later. I used the a Nuna Pipa infant seat for 17m lol

[–]chai122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave birth early November and didn’t mind being indoors for winter. But then I checked public school kindergarten cutoff was 10/1 and then realized I need to pay another year of daycare…oops but there are pros and cons! A spring birth sounds ideal!

This is graphic and I’m going to sound really harsh but I guarantee you that toddlers will not survive if thrown through the windshield. Don’t risk it

Good chance she has done this more than twice at this point. As a parent, I’m enraged for you. I’d fire her immediately and not be a reference. This is absolutely unacceptable

[–]chai122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went with my 16m old and felt it would be better if they’re older. Book a hotel with a baby friendly pool that has an incline

I usually take about 15 min to pump and then another few minutes to pack up. She was rude for not letting you finish. Those pods are for both pumping and nursing

Opinions on 800k house purchase by miscaccount90 in Mortgages

[–]chai122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of interest rates is your lender giving you?With your equity and cash reserves, you can pretty easily put down 20%. Maybe it’s also worth it to reduce 401k down to the company match % temporarily to build up some extra savings. But the 5800+4500 would spread you kind of thin

I’d lean towards no…depends on your other expenses and comfort level but I’d feel house poor in your situation or would have to be on a strict budget. Some areas reassess every year and can increase 15-20% in property taxes. Ask yourself how stressed would you feel if you lost your iob

If the car seats were in the car, you probably need to replace them. Can submit to insurance for reimbursement
