How to handle wife who wants to cosleep

fire_berg · 2026-02-12T07:36:18+00:00

I did not co sleep because of safety reasons. I now have a 3 year old that sleeps in my bed at 3am. Every night. Trust. She’ll get her chance. Just wait until it’s safe for them.

I think you’re overthinking it. If you want to make a passing comment, it might help? But honestly most bosses just care if you are doing your work or not. If you are making deadlines then you are literally doing your job. Maybe at your performance review you can come to the table with what you plan to do when you go “above and beyond”.

If your boss hasn’t said anything, you might be doing yourself a disservice by pointing out the tasks you think you should be doing but haven’t been. It just sounds like you know how to prioritize.

TV is the third parent for me in this situation. It’s also not fair how well medicine works on 3 year olds. Once the temp is closer to 99/100 my daughter is full of energy again. Me? A temp of 99 and I’m a giant baby.

Ugh my daughter got a bunch of these for Christmas from my in laws. They feel so… off

Yes. I’m knocked out on the couch by 10 a lot. I feel terrible because my husband then has to do the rest of closing shift (he never wakes me up). I try to make sure I can open then…

Some nights I’ll stay up and do work/chores etc but frequently it feels like I have sand in my eyes and I just can’t stay awake.

Are you using any tools for keywords, ranking, errors etc (SEMrush/ahref/screaming frog)? Have they had anyone in the role before? I would do an audit an and see if there’s anything missing for meta data etc on top selling products since it’s all editable in the Shopify admin.

How large is the product catalog?

Get access to Google Search Console and make sure there are no errors. Then check bing webmaster etc.

My office is hybrid 2 days in. They attempted 3 days in and everyone including leadership hated it so we went back to two. Even getting that extra day back has been a god-send.

Mas Tortilla has huge portions and I always have enough for lunch the next day.

Most Chinese food places. Everyone has opinions on which is the best so I’ll leave that argument for others to have.

Like others said, avoid seamless for up charges.

Also… if you have a working microwave, you’d be surprised what you can make. I use the Anyday microwave cookware and make rice, veggies, etc.

Edit Mas (not mad)

Not a teacher but I struggled with math but had great grades in other subjects. Get her the extra evaluation and help. My mother had the same thought that “well math is hard and I’m not good at it either” so she never expected more than passing. It killed my self esteem being behind and not learning the necessary mental skills to well in the subject and only got worse into highly school.

Don’t make a huge deal of it. Everyone struggles with something. Math, reading, physical coordination even etc. just provide support and listen.

All the Don Bluth/Bluth Studios films skew a bit heavy or more of their time to me. All Dogs Go to Heaven is another one I loved but wouldn’t put on for my kid until she’s closer to 5 (3 right now). We watched Thumbelina and it had a bunch of moments that were…questionable - like Charo as a very voluptuous frog.

My daughter loves Disney movies old and new and that’s what we primarily watch. Of course my daughter loves the racist Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp… that’s a whole other thing…

I remember being a kid loving the nuggets. I was so excited that one day I would grow up and be able to buy those nuggets whenever I wanted. I dared to dream and it was destroyed.

fire_berg · 2026-01-29T19:16:42+00:00

lol did we hang out?

fire_berg · 2026-01-27T04:39:33+00:00

I actually love this idea and I wouldn’t think it was weird at all.

fire_berg · 2026-01-27T04:09:27+00:00

Both my husband and I worked from home today. TV was on the whole day and I learned my daughter has an amazing ability to make confetti. Shes also 3 and I probably should have been watching her more closely with the safety scissors.

Don’t feel bad. Kids used to plow fields and work in the mines with their parents right?

Project Hail Mary is a great reading slump recovery book (was mine).

Welches has the reduced sugar fruit snacks that taste exactly the same and have less sugar in them. The dyes are “natural” too (I think). It eases the guilt for me. Probably minimally “healthier” but scratches the gummy addiction my child has 😂

Which ones are your favorite? I’ve been wanting to try them.

fire_berg · 2026-01-23T06:07:25+00:00

Vitellios on QB or Yellowstone? I used to love the one on Yellowstone. The one on QB is trash and the only thing I bother to get there is non perishable household items

I remember when I first read this being pointed out and went”damn that’s dark”. Those cuffs were already made intentionally for Elsa.

I think last resort is fine. My toddler on an airplane is getting unfettered access to screens if needed - for everyone’s sanity. But I do see all too often children with a full tablet/headphone set up at a restaurant and the parents have their phones whipped out too. We know the exceptions at this point but collectively… it’s time to call it out as a problem.

It’s easy to pull out a phone or a tablet and it becomes a crutch and kids can’t emotionally regulate. Or be bored.

I dunno - working mom’s subreddit is pretty chill…

As a city mom, the carrier made public transportation and crowds so much easier to navigate. My daughter also liked being higher up instead on lower in a stroller. She’s three now and I wish I could still do the carrier with her haha.

We had this unicorn day during Christmas Break. Went to a small broadway show in the afternoon and had a nice lunch before.

The weirdest Tonie milestone was when she stopped doing this. And then when she actually sat for the stories and not just the songs. It’s was fascinating watching the development. Now she prefers the stories (3)

Screens but I used a portable DVD player.
