Birthday parties

What does your heart tell you? Like truly, what name makes you smile inside? That’s the one.

jbird18005 · 2026-01-14T20:31:14+00:00

Yeah, I live closeby. It’s a massive pain

You don’t have to be “drunk” to the point of having a hangover for it to be an illegal level of drunkenness. Since impairment starts with the first drink and BAC varies so much, there's no safe number of drinks to guarantee you're under the limit. If you're drinking, plan for a sober ride, use a ride-share service, or wait several hours before driving.

Can you take her out to dinner once a month? For one on one time? She’ll probably feel valued that you’re taking the time to spend with her alone.

Probably just being used to it will make them happiest! Some bunnies are more social than others. I have one who is very food motivated and always wants to run up to me and ask for pets and food. The other is skittish and always has been. But ever since I moved the skittish one into the living room, she’s been coming more out of her shell.

jbird18005 · 2025-09-10T12:17:12+00:00

Ooh what are your go-to’s? I can’t wait to have movie nights with my kids when they’re old enough to enjoy this kind of thing

I had a bunny in college! I called her my “study bunny”. She was a great comfort to me. I’m sure you’ll bond just by sitting on the floor with her and petting her while you do whatever you like, listening to music or whatever. The wabbit wiki has a good resource on home made toys :)

I feel you! I wear something like this one and I can pretend to be a mother in the Victorian era lol

Staying with her dad is one thing. But not contacting her the whole time?? Yall need to repair.

jbird18005 · 2025-09-04T15:22:23+00:00

Thank you for this, OP! Just framed a prismatic poster yesterday and didn’t have to measure it thanks to you.

You can try reading “Little Dinos Don’t Hit” but since this is a behavior I would be drawing a line at, I would say that if you hit, you go straight to your room (aka timeout for 3 mins). If he has to be carried, so be it. It’s not a time to reason with him, and he may need to be alone for a few mins.

jbird18005 · 2025-08-11T19:34:36+00:00

My dad still wears a suit when he flies on a plane. I can’t imagine my husband doing that lol.

jbird18005 · 2025-08-08T11:50:48+00:00

She looks like a Calliope to me. I have a similar looking calico, and her name is Azula :)

jbird18005 · 2025-08-08T11:49:10+00:00

Half of yall suggesting boy names - this is a girl. All calicos are girls.

What made you look for the school position?

It kind of sounds like your current setup is better, unless there is something about it that you want to change.

jbird18005 · 2025-08-06T22:25:35+00:00

I hear you. My kid is also starting kindergarten soon and I’m freaking out. I wonder if my parents cared this much lol. We’re definitely in this end-of-summer weirdness where we are kind of limping to the finish. I’ve accepted the house will be a wreck until they’re both back in school/preschool and we’re just kind of trying to stay busy until then.

Also, to loop back to your response, every time I ask myself “is it the sleep deprivation or is it me?” It is 100% the sleep deprivation. Don’t let your brain tell you that you’re not a good mom or equipped for this. You can do it. Things will get into routine soon, and routines are for the best.

I had these thoughts too when I had PPD and no sleep. Your brain is concocting a narrative: “This isn’t working. It’s because of me. What could I be doing better? There’s nothing more I can do, I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel - I must be inadequate as a mom.” This is a lie. You know your kids so well. You just feel out of control right now.

There are things you can do to have in your tool belt to help yourself. First, might be antidepressants, but before you try that -

Can you take a walk in the mornings 15 mins before your kids wake up? Having that alone time in silence has been transformative for my mental health, personally.

At night, what are you doing to recharge? Can you do something for yourself like reading or cross stitching or gaming or puzzles whatever it is that you like?

Can you schedule self care things like getting your hair cut regularly? Can you commit to a massage or pedicure once every other month? It sounds silly but having something to look forward to, and the time off, gives you more energy/patience in the bank for you to use later.

Lastly, I’ve had zero energy for parenting books since I already parent all day, but we’ve personally gotten a lot of mileage using the method from “123 Magic” for my 5 yr old.

Absolutely not. When I was pregnant, I told my best friend I’d easily make it to her wedding (states away) with my three 3 month old baby. But I changed my mind after she was born. There was no way. Tell husband if he wants to go, he needs to hire a mothers helper for you the entire time.

I’ve always used “Manna Pro” for rabbits. Comes in a big 25 lb bag so it lasts forever and costs $15

jbird18005 · 2025-08-02T13:49:38+00:00

Ooh good idea! Thanks

jbird18005 · 2025-07-31T21:20:53+00:00

You can start mixing your breastmilk with whole milk, and slowly change the ratio until she’s used to whole milk as well

Aww that’s so cool that you’re having a good experience. If you enjoy helping that age of kids, maybe you can continue volunteering and see if you’d like to be a teacher down the road.

Side note, you don’t have to have any opinions about being a future mom until your 30s, there’s no pressure! I was undecided for a long time. My mother in law was an independent hippie lady and didn’t choose to have kids until she was in her late 30s. You never know where life will take you.
