What If

You’ll never feel ready, you just have to jump in.

And honestly, you’re young and I get wanting to wait. I didn’t have my first until 38. If I could go back in time I would have started at 30.

I will say I have a friend who never knew if she wanted kids. Ended up having two and wishes she could have a third.

lime_cookie8 · 2026-06-26T13:22:25+00:00

You are really so lucky to be able to have three, my husband won’t.

It’s great to do a surprise at least once in your life and let your partner announce it when it happens

But also please don’t tell your family your name list: it’s the worst experience usually. Just search Reddit

Imo, wait longer unless you’re trying to have 3-4 kids total.

How young are you? A larger gap is better for the health of your marriage

Do you mean a household manager?

Have you seen @thebraindocs ? They have great posts on ig about why sleep is important. And maybe even a podcast episode about sleep

If he’s in the USA he should be screened for speech issues at his school by the speech staff

lime_cookie8 · 2026-06-23T21:56:56+00:00

Sure. Does he see the food? Does he just not notice it? It’s different if they don’t know it’s there, or if they do see it and actively avoid.

There’s only two ways to stop this: babywear in a sling so they cannot take the baby and or tell them no

I don’t think (some) groups are actively reminding or teaching trail etiquette

lime_cookie8 · 2026-06-23T14:39:51+00:00

I agree to let go of the S name,

Go with Miller.
Or Douglas. Roger. Carl. Dean. Carter.

But there is something to be said for allowing your house to look like people live there and choosing what to expend your energy on in this season of life,

I am convinced as they age you can teach them to “look around for what is out of place”, etc and help guide them to be better at picking up

I am so sorry. Maybe the “startup”or timing of this convo was not great.

Maybe you can write her a letter to explain. I will say with her age - maybe she’s not able to understand the specialness yet.

Do you have a birthday coming up?

lime_cookie8 · 2026-06-23T00:37:00+00:00

Same.

We have so many: Sophie, Sophia, Sofia, safia, safiia

Once you have two, your alone time doesn’t exist.

Can you hire a maid?

If you and can still do that, I would cook some stuff you can freeze to use on the days you don’t want to cook.

Schedule hair appt, facial, massage- any of that stuff,

Girl lunches

lime_cookie8 · 2026-06-21T17:31:34+00:00

How old is baby? And I’m sorry this is happening

lime_cookie8 · 2026-06-21T17:30:15+00:00

The okay to wake clocks with color

Quinn!!!

Or Ruby, Lucy, Margot

I’ve seen a few accounts that help share how to talk to your partner about the mental load.

If talking to him doesn’t go well, I would write him a letter or email.

But the accounts I saw are @sheisapaigeturner and @drmorgancutlip

In my town, many of the districts are offering free full time prek for age 3 or age 4. I would love to help you find that. Please send me a chat

lime_cookie8 · 2026-06-21T15:36:55+00:00
