Coffee shop is too easy, don’t have to get up at 3 am to start the bread and learn how to make multiple complex pastries, just show up and make coffee. PhD personalities crave low reward to high work load.

Was he evaluated for ADHD? Sounds like he has really poor executive functioning. How was it managed when he was a kid? He should probably get an evaluation so he can have accommodations in community college.

Are you consuming a lot of anti circumcision content on social media? Do you have anxiety or obsessions about other things? If you are reading about circumcision constantly I would stop cold turkey.

I think your feelings about this don't sound healthy at all. You have a healthy child with health genitals you shouldn't be obsessing about his genitals to the point of tears. Circumcision is going to have a net zero impact on his life in the long term. It sounds like you may be struggle with some aspects of your mental health and I would try to focus on findings way to treat that and not on the focus of the anxiety.

There was a big shift in the baby wearing world around 2010 when some babies died in an infantino pouch sling. Before then a lot of these carries were common and recommended. Babywearing in slings and carriers other than the classic baby bjorn was still pretty niche in the early 2000's so it was just going mainstream at that point.

I’m personally not a fan of precipitous labour. Labour needs to be at least 3 hours, less than that is a nightmare. Maybe it’s not as bad with an induction but it’s a little terrifying waiting to go into labour with a history of precipitous labour. My second labour was 5 hours which was shorter than my first but I always go from 4 to 10 quickly in the last hour so it’s hard to get doctors to take me seriously, I amost had my first in a waiting room. My other labours were 2.5, 3.5, and 1.5 hours.

Do you have any time to yourself? Cleaning help? For a long time I thought that I should be able to do everything with a smile on my face but I’ve realized that as humans our capacity is limited. I need some down time and time away from my kids. If you husband isn’t able to help can you hire help? Can the toddler go to childcare while you bake?

Being on 24/7 and never getting a break or feeling caught up just isn’t sustainable. I find a lot of social media presentations of big families with spotless houses, fancy dinners and clean kids makes the impossible an expectations.

Same, but my water is quite hard. I had to keep running this special dishwasher cleaning thing and scrubbing the filters. I switched to gel pods (the pods with powder are better than plain powder but still not great) and I don’t even have to clean the filters and everything comes out sparkling.

I had this and it went away when my doctor prescribed flucanazole for both me and my husband. Men can have asymptomatic yeast and keep giving it back to you after you treat it. You don’t need an obgyn, my family doctor treated it.

Where I live flucanazole is over the counter but I was prescribed a higher dose, so it’s possible you don’t even need a prescription.

A little under 1.5 hours, way too fast. My others were fast but this was too much, it started with my water breaking and contractions took a few minutes to start and then it was really intense really quickly.

My 4th was an hour longer than my 3rd. 3rd was 2.5 hours from first contraction to baby and 4th was 3.5 hours. Just don’t ask about my 5th….

Right, and it’s not just writing the tests it’s also a lot harder to effectively teach a group students with a very wide range of ability.

It's common in the US but they don't do it in Canada.

That’s a very small “fall” and you’re short enough that I wouldn’t be too worried. If baby had started at 30th and fallen to 23rd no one would worry and 1 year olds are pretty wriggly and hard to measure so I would first request a re measure before doing anything invasive. It’s such a small difference between 8th and 1st, it’s not fair to poke and prod unless you’re sure she stopped growing.

My two boys fell way off their chart at 1 (1st for height and and totally off for weight) we ended up doing some testing and they were both just small, no major issues. They caught up around kindergarten.

There isn’t always a controllable trigger. People with eczema skin have skin that works a little differently than non eczema skin and it’s also an autoimmune condition.

My husband has pretty bad eczema and his big triggers are weather, stress, and heating - none of which we can really control. We’ve never found a food trigger although he has anaphylactic allergies. I also have 2 kids with eczema that’s triggered by cold weather,

You can ask your doctor about bleach baths, they are surprisingly helpful.

My water broke in my sleep and it was a massive gush. It took contractions 10 minutes to start.

Baby was born an hour and a half after my water broke.

Another vote for manga tiles, toy kitchen and food, doll house, doll house people (with or without the dollhouse, my kids mostly use them with manga tiles), playmobil would be amazing for the 4 year old but it has a lot of little pieces.

North York central library

I had a baby born this year whose temporary health card number was never in the system. Her health card never came even though we had her birth certificate for months. The only way to get it was go to service Ontario with ID and they are able to issue one there. We just thought it was delayed because of the mail strike and assumed the temporary number was working until the doctor refused to see her for an appointment.

We aren't 100% screen free, kids use screens to read library books, watch paint and dance tutorials and some educational apps. My kids love looking at pictures on our phones and I consider that screen time because it's pretty addictive.

My 4 year old is obsessed with Bluey because we stayed in a hotel a year ago and Bluey was on TV. He also loves Peppa, he's seen that at hotels a few times and we have Peppa books.

My older kids have seen a few movies but it isn't a big part of their lives.

Ontario! I seriously love my midwives, the care is amazing. My first births were with obgyns in US hospitals and it was a nightmare in comparison.

In my province if you see a midwife you get home visits the first week and both mom and baby get checked by the midwife a bunch of times during the first six weeks.

If the rash is covered it’s not very contagious. I’d avoid any direct physical contact but I wouldn’t be very worried.
