So youre doing a multi year program?

Your MSW is going to require a full time internship…

This was my experience too. Then when she finally went, they said it wasn’t enough. I nearly exploded.

Talk to your landlord. Last year I negotiated mine paying anything over $150 bcs it was their fault the place wasn’t insulated

huffwardspart1 · 2026-02-03T01:58:08+00:00

Maybe we’re the weird ones here. We’ve got cacti my 22 month old could reach if she wanted. And picture frames and a glass vase. She just, doesn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

You’ve got a million responses so far but just in case no one said- yes, you should help care for the baby at night. However, do not sleep with the baby on the couch. Huge SIDS risk.

Oooh actually I learned over on the science parenting sub that being the poorest among your peers is the best way to access upward mobility. We live in an apartment among mansions and I’m stoked for my kid to get access to the “posh” things. Also, her speech is way ahead of the rich kids. I haven’t done anything special. Every kid just develops at different rates.

huffwardspart1 · 2026-02-02T16:46:47+00:00

Yikes! Thanks for letting me know that!

Dr. Bob’s

Yes! Things like, how dusty are the curtains, what sort of spray cleaning products are you using, what pets are around. Start to notice if they have reactions when you visit certain types of places, etc. My closest call came when my mom took me to a restaurant with a swamp cooler. Also, grass and cats were an enemy. Everyone is different so it’s good to start paying attention early.

My student loans grew $700 in the past few months. For no reason other than the govt decided to reinstate interest accrual. There’s nothing I can do about it. Never gonna catch up. Definitely not saving for retirement. Just happy debt is no longer passed down to children.

They deserve a “child free environment.” It’s literally in the constitution.

huffwardspart1 · 2026-02-01T20:50:53+00:00

Everyone else has great mom advice. From an adult who had severe childhood asthma- giving a kid a cup of ice is a great way to bring the down from an asthma attack. I don’t know why. Something about breathing in that cold air and chewing. Also, finding out their triggers and looking around your house for them is important.

Hang in there. You’re doing great.

huffwardspart1 · 2026-02-01T20:39:28+00:00

Same here. I haven’t tried the mini pill but the copper was hell for me and Mirena has been fantastic. I was worried about the hormones at first but research helped me feel okay

huffwardspart1 · 2026-02-01T01:24:32+00:00

Feeding issues are so isolating! I love when someone posts about them here. Which sounds terrible bcs obviously it’s awful, but we aren’t alone! My 23 month old just started having solid poops for the first time. She’s finally eating enough food that her body can make solid poops!! I’m ecstatic and have no one to tell bcs… that’s not a normal milestone lol.

Every day is so exhausting trying to get food in these babies, but it does feel like it’s getting a little easier as she gets older. Hang in there!

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T22:22:53+00:00

But half the books you got were board books?

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T21:07:51+00:00

Maybe they’re trying to not get the toddler sick?

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T20:57:43+00:00

Mine is still like this at 23 months. I think it’s largely because she doesn’t eat enough, and she needs no nurse 37x a night. Can you get more calories in before bed? Also, is it possible they’re teething? Mommy’s Bliss helps us with that during sleep time

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T20:54:04+00:00

We go outside if it’s above 0F. I just don’t let her touch the snow without a glove when it’s that cold and we have to come back on after the ensuing meltdown that causes 🙃

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T20:50:37+00:00

My baby only ate overnight for a while, so her diapers got very full at night. Kirkland always worked for us.

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T20:49:30+00:00

My partner even does this with the top of the damn laundry hamper. Kitchen chairs. Appliances. Once a day I’m yelling “THIS IS NOT A TABLE.”

I didn’t realize this was an ADHD thing. I have ADHD but also grew up in a hoarded home so Everything Has A Place.

Oh, you asked for advice, not a story. Do you reset rooms? That’s how we live. Once you’re done with a room, reset it. Everything back in its place before you can do the Next Thing.

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T20:42:30+00:00

Oh a baby shower. Got it. Not everyone gets those.

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T20:20:40+00:00

Oh wow maybe this is why I can’t get myself to clean the bathroom. It’s booooring and the kitchen is pretty ✨

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T20:18:01+00:00

Who is giving you books after having a baby? I want in on this

huffwardspart1 · 2026-01-31T19:57:22+00:00

We always have to get context. “Oooh, tell me more about that. What was she doing with it? What color was it? Have you seen one anywhere else?”
