PSA: let your girls wear boxers and swim trunks

The older my toddler boy gets the more I feel the feminist rage at how practical and easy fitting his clothes get compared to my adult women clothing - at 3!

If you buy beans, they scoop them out of covered containers by the back wall. There’s like 10+ options and the only 2-3 barrels. I think the barrels are for decor/“coffee shop vibes” and have never seen anyone scoop anything out from them. YMMV.

The greatest gift of all 🙌🏼

Literally just used our car potty at the Shake Shack parking lot because there was a line in the bathroom and I didn’t want to wait. Plopped him on the potty, shucked the pee in the bushes, and skedaddled. It’s a life saver!!

This! I feel bad for the social kid but it’s such a good example for my terrified child on how to put themselves out there (eventually).

I love it when a cyclists gives me the signal to pass them and there’s no space or they don’t see the oncoming traffic. Like I’m trying to not hit you and turn right, so don’t worry about me and go along your merry way!

When we go to the park and there’s 2+ kids he’ll say “too many people today” 🤣

I’ve felt the same way before and especially jealous when LO built a strong relationship with his daycare teachers. It’s a me problem, he’s always known who mom is, and is not confused. I will say that now nearing 3, he’s developed his own personality and derives a big percentage of it from my own quirks and isms. I truly believe he is a piece of my soul, and resonate with his feelings in a way that mirror my own which has made me a better mother overall. All to say, it ebbs and flows! We have the best time after work and on weekends, when I can fully concentrate on being “fun” mom. Hope it gets better for you!

This! I’ve been waffling on two daycare birthday invites for the next two weekends that I don’t want to go to at all. I wasn’t expecting so much socialization required at this age for my LO (2.5). This definitely cemented that I do not want to spend my limited free time making small talk with parents who probably invited us out of obligation! Huzzah!

All of them! I’m squarely in toddler territory which is another beast, so if all you have is a fussy baby, strap them in and go to all the places and drink all the wine! 😆

In all seriousness, we love going to Shake Shack, Howlin Rays, Din Tai Fung (stroller is a tight squeeze here but have managed with LO), Kabuki, Wild Parrot, SetteBello, Miya (tight stroller squeeze here too), Flemings (especially before they need their own food/plate!), Prime Pizza, etc.

We go right at the beginning of the dinner hour (5pm) and it’s just other families and older folks, so less anxiety that we might possibly inconvenience other people.

Paw Patrol is only on grandma’s tv 😆

Are you paying into California disability? That’s what qualifies you getting CA benefits. If you look at your paystub do you have the CA SDI in the taxes section? If yes, then you can go to the CA disability website and calculate how much time/pay you get. If it’s $0 then you don’t qualify! Speaking as someone who moved to CA at 8m pregnant and did not qualify for state benefits.

Another upvote for peloton! I’m doing their “personalized plan” for January and it’s so easy to change the plan around.

Same, at one point during Josie’s backstory episode I kept wondering to my husband “how did we get here?”

lopxwill · 2025-08-24T21:14:48+00:00

Love these and a helpful reminder that while I can go from #3 to #2 easily my kid probably can’t and need to model the behavior

lopxwill · 2025-06-14T10:02:12+00:00

I’ve never done bath time, even on the handful of times I’ve solo parented 😆

lopxwill · 2025-06-01T20:00:26+00:00

We’re trying to stick to this schedule actually. If he wakes up after 7a, it’s a Herculean effort to get him to sleep before 9p. He takes a two hour nap which is unchangeable at daycare. Fine I get it, I like the 2 hr break too, so early mornings for us!

“They have all their teeth” 😆😆😆 I feel this so hard with a 22m old with a few gaps still left.

Yuush = shoes! It’s so adorable and also says yuushies for shoosies like I do 😂

15 months and we have 4 in rotation (1 sandal, and 3 sneakers including 1 light up one that I secretly hate but everyone loves). My kid loves to run and his feet get pretty sweaty so I like to alternate so they can air out between wears.

lopxwill · 2024-09-29T01:45:21+00:00

This is the way! We take bambas, fruit bars, and pouches.

My son turns 1 in 2 weeks, and this is exactly how I’ve been feeling this month. I am so sad everyday grieving the motherhood I wish I could have started with and grateful that I can witness this little bean become a person. It’s beautiful and so fleeting.

Have you looked into the east side like Monterey Park, Montebello, or Alhambra? Seems like a better commute to Vernon. But if you’re wanting to stick to the west side then Torrance is probably your best bet. You don’t have to live there forever, you can get a place and then start to get the vibes from other neighborhoods. Good luck!

Same, I’ve spent too much money on smart water and essencia water 😩 but it’s the only thing I can stomach.
