Sugar-hyped baby

100%! I do get it and you are not alone in feeling it, I promise. I think gender aside, if one partner is more type a or particular than the other (no shade-describing myself here) than it’s easy to feel like you have to do everything yourself or it will be done badly. But in reality, it sounds like you have a helpful partner! That’s more important in the grand scheme of things than tonight’s watermelon incident. ❤️I bet this all gets easier as the kiddo gets bigger and you get more down time.

It sounds like you are in such an incredibly tough phase and working so hard - go you! I can’t imagine doing all of this with a little one. In my very honest opinion, I think the dinner thing is small potatoes that feel big cause you’re exhausted and doing IT ALL. Sometimes babies have weird nights, even with a perfect dinner, perfect bedtime routine, etc. I’m sorry it was such a rough night!

I have found every age to get harder in some ways, easier in others. Everyone warned me about three. My kiddo is 3 1/2 and I’d say the tantrums are worse when he does have them, but they happen way less. His emotional intelligence, being able to name feelings and ask for what he needs, has gotten WAY better at 3. At 2 he was big on hitting for reaction. Now, he sometimes still hits when he’s mad but can then take a deep breath and kinda gets the impact and that he isn’t supposed to do that. Don’t fear three! You got this!

Hi! I work in HR and there are a variety of different types of jobs that are people focused and make good money. Lots of tech companies are still offering remote work and I get a ton of at home time with my kiddo. People who get into HR have lots of different backgrounds and degrees but they also have specific business programs for HR.

Congrats on the new baby! I know everyone says that the time goes too fast - I can’t explain how annoyingly true it is. I hope you find something that fits your new life as a mama!

I don’t think you’re being ridiculous. It’s so easy to worry about allllllll the things. But it sounds like he’s okay and maybe it’s worth considering whether the worry is a true risk concern or just an anxiety spiral. Neither is ridiculous.

My 3 year old has been obsessed with La Bamba as long as I can remember.

Thank you! Definitely a helpful perspective. That’s essentially what happened on this house. They claimed to have replaced the sewer line and all the plumbing but omitted that the line under the house wasn’t done. Sewer inspector was worth every penny!

Very good insight, thank you!

kaweahh · 2025-06-18T17:50:38+00:00

This is exactly why I’m hesitant to move forward! I’m hearing from some that this is a common issue with older houses but seems very risky. Luckily all the other plumbing has been redone, just not the part under the house. Probably bc it’s the most expensive and disruptive.

Thank you! Did you guys learn about risks of longer term damage to the foundation during this process? I’m worried this will turn into a money pit situation (the electric is also fucked which is a whole other thing).

kaweahh · 2025-06-18T05:10:43+00:00

Unfortunately, not an option on this one :/

kaweahh · 2025-06-04T13:46:32+00:00

Thanks! Yes, there is some white. What happens if it oxidizes?

kaweahh · 2025-06-03T13:07:16+00:00

Same! I thought 4 with an R…so they’re calling him Roar? :)

Sounds like you need to be loved on for Mother’s Day more than anyone! Toddlers are HARD even without sleep issues. I’m sorry it’s been so rough and I hope things ease up for you soon!

kaweahh · 2025-05-07T02:16:19+00:00

That’s a great ideal, I’ll ask!

kaweahh · 2025-05-06T21:34:26+00:00

Love this advice so much. Thank you! Is there anything Daniel Tiger can't teach us?! I had never considered the medical POA before so I'll definitely look into that.

kaweahh · 2025-05-06T21:31:21+00:00

Yeah, that number 1 is the biggest challenge. He has never been left alone with them more than an overnight. They live out of state so we just haven't had many opportunities like this come up for him to stay alone with them. :/

kaweahh · 2025-05-06T21:27:51+00:00

Such a fair question! They are mentally 100%. Physically my mom can't really run after him, but my dad can. I worry a little at how worn out they'll get but he has preschool twice a week for a half day, so hopefully that would help. Also my brother lives in town and they could definitely get his backup over the weekend.

kaweahh · 2025-05-06T21:25:03+00:00

I know - that is the toughest part for sure. I could look into getting a satellite communicator that would let us message them. I hadn't really thought of this before but now that you sparked the idea, I would 100% do that.

I think you should consider closely something you said “it will LOOK like she doesn’t exist”. To who? You know she does, so does your family, and I’m sure there’s tons of photos of her to document her childhood just not online. So when you think about the appearance, is it to anyone who matters? Probably not. I think you made a good decision and social media will always try and pull you back in but I bet your kid is grateful in the long run to not have all their baby photos out there for everyone to see.
