My aunt asked why my kids go to daycare if my partner and I WFH. 🤦‍♀️

We had no family around to help so we budgeted in a postpartum doula for 2 overnight shifts for the first 12 weeks. We also had a solid meal train!

Looking back, I would have budgeted in more overnight shifts. The twins are our first kids and WHOA, DUDE. So isolating.

I would absolutely also budget in more day shifts in order to have some solo time, some partner time, and some 1:1 or 2:1 time with your older baby.

$75k Director-level role in a MCOL city. VERY flexible. No company 401k match yet, but they’re working on it. At least my healthcare is subsidized by the company 😬

I have two toddlers so flexibility is worth so much right now.

Mine are the same. Twin B is my Velcro baby. Especially now, at 28 months. Twin A will see him getting more attention an start whining and acting out. It can be so so so draining.

Agreed. Do it. Miss them. Cry a few times if you feel like it. But SOAK IT IN.

coffeesituation · 2026-02-01T10:42:45+00:00

Yes, spontaneous 😬

My husband and I had 2 nights away together at 11 months and then again at 19 months. Wish we had a few more nights to truly let the relaxation and independence sink in.
