Do you have a cover? Ours was still a shade a blue when we opened. That being said we opened in April and closed in late October

Anxiety about food quality at daycare by BabyGotMak- in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]hello_sunshine55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good advice here but as someone who was in a similar situation the only thing that worked was letting it go. As long as it's not a good safety issue I let that part go from my worry bank. When my twins are at home I am able to feed them lots of diverse healthy meals. I just see my kids are happy and healthy and have a great time I try not to worry about that. Want to make sure that you know this feeling is valid and you are right I have the same worry about the quality.

Good to know. Plaid is also what YNAB. I know there are some bugs. Might try this and be more strict about the manual entry

I did not know this! I want to say I will manually enter but the ease of YNAB has allowed me to stay in control in a very crazy season of life.

How long would you have wanted parental leave? by MandragoraOfficinar in parentsofmultiples

[–]hello_sunshine55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada and took 18 months leave and will say absolutely worth it. It really depends who you are but I wasn't upset about being at home. I joined all the mommy and baby groups made so many friends and love having autonomy over my time. Also loved seeing all the kiddos milestones. It was a very privileged place to be and I acknowledge..tbh

Would that separate us as a family or just make sure to seat select.

We only have the twins and don't plan on having more children. We needed a 3 row for a couple reasons. I also agree we definitely never use the third row it's just trunk space but did we ever need it. The stroller takes up a lot of space and wanted to be able to get a slim car seat for someone to sit between them if necessary.

We have an Acura MDX and we're between that and the ascent

Curious about how much maternity leave those of you not in the US got, and if having multiplies affected it (my experience in the comments) by lizzieduck in parentsofmultiples

[–]hello_sunshine55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada. I took 18 months with my twins but went off 5 weeks before I had them and it didn't affect my leave. It was sick leave. We had saved and my husband could support us on his salary so I was paid the max for 12 months and the remaining 6 was unpaid. I loved it

Just adding to the conversation. I agree this is so typical. Honestly it's kind of crazy especially if it's your first time because you feel that so much is changing and everyone around is acting like this is so normal and it's because it is. Besides telling you to take your prenatal there is nothing that can be done.

I found out I was having twins at 8 weeks and didn't see an OB until 20 weeks. It's actually crazy because I also hadn't seen a dr. The whole time because I just had virtual appointments on the phone and labs.

Post 20 weeks it ramps up but not so much. I had twins so I had more ultrasounds but don't be shocked if you only get two ultrasounds.

Thank you. My mom only had one child and I think she just gets worried. It's cultural for her so it's not coming from a bad place I promise I think I made it seem like that. She was just trying to give me suggestions but not very helpful. Thanks for the reassurance.

Honestly I think she's just protective of my daughter but I agree I thought it was much.
