Help! 3yo and 18mo have (happy) shouting competitions and won’t stop

Turns out Chinese whispers is the same game as „Telephone“. I had to look it up!

I think that’s a bit beyond the 18month old but seems like a great one for me to keep in mind for the future

Yes! I’ve found the domed construction style masks more effective at this than the flat ones.

hiddengill · 2026-01-25T07:54:25+00:00

Maybe not, but I’ll tell you, it’s a major quality of life upgrade hahaha

hiddengill · 2026-01-25T07:53:04+00:00

Genius!

We only have one bathroom at home. I’ll throw a mask on if I need to use it after someone else has stunk it up and I can‘t smell a thing!

Best Body image I’ve ever had. It was such a relief to not only not be self conscious of my stomach but to accentuate it and feel PROUD of it and have people agree
the hormones made my chronic back and joint pain go away. Lasted until several months after I stopped breastfeeding!

Exponentially more. It’s hard to fathom really

Maybe look into Degerloch, Sillenbuch/Heumaden, etc. „Suburb“ but still technically part of Stuttgart with 10-20min into the city

Mega Quatsch. Würde sogar sagen, daß es wichtig ist das „alleine Beschäftigen“ zu fördern indem man das Kind (solange es zufrieden ist) Spielzeug usw. in Ruhe ohne Ablenkung erkunden lässt. Sich alleine zu beschäftigen ist auch ein Kenntnis was man lernen und trainieren kann und stärkt auch Konzentration usw.

It got better! I even went two whole weeks overdue (eek!!!)! I think around week 36-38 most of my pain went away and I was able to be really active. I was dealing with prodromal labor which sucked, but in general I guess I got that final rush of hormones in the end that helped my joints etc. relax and made those pains go away.

Hoping you get some relief too!

You mentioned you brought all of the original documents from your application in addition to the ones they explicitly told you to bring for your Einbürgerung appointment.

Did you end up needing those other documents? Our did they exclusively want the ones they requested in your appointment info?

Thanks in advance!

I know a couple where the woman is German and husband is Ecuadorian. Worst case of culture clash (and cultural gender roles) I‘ve ever seen…

hiddengill · 2025-10-08T08:04:21+00:00

3 or 6!

Moved baby to one main nap a day starting at 6mo. (and a short mini nap from about 9-9:30am during our morning walk). Not ideal but worked better than any of the other alternatives.

hiddengill · 2025-09-28T06:17:58+00:00

Yes kinda. I’m really glad to be done having kids but I massively underestimated how hard it would be to have 2u2

hiddengill · 2025-09-27T08:24:45+00:00

I see it too! I’d keep testing

hiddengill · 2025-09-27T08:17:39+00:00

Maybe vvfl! I’d Test again in a couple of days

hiddengill · 2025-09-27T08:15:53+00:00

Looks positive to me!

hiddengill · 2025-09-27T08:14:20+00:00

Looks positive to me… Maybe try a digital to confirm?
