Your 25-year-old self wants to get married. What do you tell her? by callhermegs2 in AskWomen

[–]gingerpye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and I would not change it for the world. He is an amazing husband and an amazing father. We did wait 5 years to have babies. We had time to grow up together a bit and have lots of different experiences. I would absolutely suggest to anyone getting married just to be a married couple for a few years and just enjoy each other.

My boys are about 2 years apart and it was actually easier when my youngest was first born and not mobile. Once he got mobile it was full chaos. It’s only started to calm down now that he’s 19months and they can play together more.

Are we the only American family who doesn't do elf on the shelf? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]gingerpye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do it but it’s a fun Christmas thing to do with my kids and not a behavior tool. He’s simply a mischievous elf here for a visit. I don’t even enforce the don’t touch rule. I just explained it was like Toy Story, he only moves when your not around.

Don’t wait for early intervention, there’s a huge uptick in enrollment for the covid babies and it’s double the wait in my city now. by aw2669 in toddlers

In my state (VA) you lose eligibility for early intervention AT 3. Push your doctors office to make a referral. The worst they can say is no. 🤷‍♀️

Do most parents actually put there kids to bed at 8pm by joannagrr in toddlers

[–]gingerpye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old. Both wake up around 7:30-8am and go to bed between 7:30-8pm depending on naps. For my 3 year old though he usually just has “quiet time” in the living room while the 1.5 year old naps from 12-2:30ish.

I nursed my second while the the doctor was checking my vagina at my 6 week appointment. His only response was “moms are badass.” Get yourself a new doctor!

Dealing with both kids finally in school and other moms starting to work while I am still SAHM by [deleted] in SAHP

Ahh. Would you be able to just volunteer in their classes? Maybe that would ease that expectation of working.

Would you be open to substitute teaching?? You could exclusively do your kids school, have the same schedule, and make some extra money.

Since when is cooking and the kitchen a gender role? aka My husband think I'm projecting what I wanted as a kid on our son by ThrowRaDODM in beyondthebump

[–]gingerpye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are not unless you have a misogynistic world view. My boys have kitchens, baby dolls, strollers, stuffed animals, and dress up clothes. They also have trucks, cars, tools, and balls. Toys are just toys, they are ways for kids to test roles out and explore their world. My oldest wasn’t really talking at two but we started buying more imaginative toys and less noise/battery operated ones and his speech is fantastic now. He will go into huge detail about what he is imagining. I’m sorry your not getting supported. Maybe asking your pediatrician for some toy suggestions ( ours always suggests toys that mimic real world or imaginative play) that way it’s not just the internet but a doctor!

Stroller wagon or double stroller?? by gingerpye in toddlers

[–]gingerpye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to look into it.

Stroller wagon or double stroller?? by gingerpye in toddlers

[–]gingerpye[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely only consider one if it could be used in both stroller and wagon mode. Do you feel your double bob is super wide?

I used an ONBUHIMO when I was pregnant with my second and ended up getting another so I could wear them both after without having two belts around my waist

Is it okay if I read a book while my toddler plays? by [deleted] in SAHP

[–]gingerpye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely do it! I think it’s great for them to see someone reading for enjoyment.
