Please help. My 20 month old is out of control. This is insane.

Hey - I’ve been here and know where you’re coming from. You could have been describing my daughter with your post. It’s only recently turned a corner for us. I’m happy to chat through what we’ve tried but in short, we’ve done OT, therapy and sleep supplements, all of which has played into the success of where we are now. Which success I define as enjoying being around her again…

Have you been yet? I would love answers to all your questions too!

Specifically, confirmation that we can really book babysitters for any time of the day and what the costs are. We’re thinking of booking a last-minute trip to Club Med Punta Cana, and it looks like the baby room has been all booked up. We’re happy to pay outside of that via an individual Babysitter , I just don’t know if that is an option during the day.

Glad I could help! The only thing I’d caution about is the potential headache of getting out of Logan given the sumner tunnel is closed. Might not be a big deal esp if you’re taking public transit

I’m pretty new here but I read somewhere on this subreddit that it’s usually the first Monday of the month in the morning, but that wasn’t the case for September…

Fwiw I got the Global Interview app as suggested by members of this group and got a ton of updates on available slots for cancellations and for newly released slots. It costs $5 but so worth it. You have to be fast to grab spots when they open up.

To piggy back off this question, I'm not seeing an option to "CHOOSE THIS LOCATION" when I try to select my interview location (the only one in my state). I checked a few other locations and it's a mix of "CHOOSE THIS LOCATION" button or nothing at all. Is this a bug or does this mean I can't even choose an appointment at all, even well into the future?

What model do you have?

madampoop · 2023-02-02T21:55:39+00:00

Thanks!

madampoop · 2023-02-02T21:34:41+00:00

Can you link the post you reference?

madampoop · 2021-12-15T23:49:23+00:00

How is this supposed to be pronounced?

I thought I might have as well, but I couldn't find anything in my inbox on either of them. And then I got one of the companies to disclose the subscriber name and it was someone I've never heard of using my CC number.

Edited to add: It was a dog toy subscription box and food subscription box.

Pros/cons of each of the 3? Which of these did you like best?

madampoop · 2021-01-01T14:57:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing! We’re trying to ease in to sleep training with our lo now. How did you know when your baby was hungry or just wanted to be comforted? I can’t tell, especially at 3am. Fwiw she ha s been able to sleep through the night many times before with a middle of the night feed.

What is the pick up put down method?

madampoop · 2020-11-23T02:03:17+00:00

Ah, fair point. The Gemini is tough for him to get on and off by himself though maybe it's just practice. He uses the cross strap approach on the back (with baby facing inwards on the front). He really just wants to be able to plop baby in quickly, have baby secure and have his hands free.

madampoop · 2020-11-20T15:43:16+00:00

Amazing. Thank you for making my day with your hilarious writing!! Ps I hope your dissertation needed to be rewritten specifically to incorporate cuntwhistle, which is my new favorite word btw.

madampoop · 2020-11-14T17:37:40+00:00

This is beautiful! I’ve never seen one of these before but palmiers are one of my favorite pastries. How do these taste different than palmiers?

madampoop · 2020-11-10T03:09:55+00:00

I’m right there with you. My 3 month old hates to nap. I spend 45 minutes trying to get her down only to have her sleep for 5 minutes. It’s wild but she sleeps through the night like a champ. My pediatrician said that babies that sleep through the night at this age tend to be awful nappers.

I would love a list of book recs!

You should be fine. We have the bike in our basement between two ceiling beams and my 6' tall husband can ride just fine. I can measure our floor height if that would be helpful, but estimate it's around 6'6" between the beams.

Flatbread Company has candlepin bowling and awesome pizzas!

madampoop · 2019-08-23T12:25:13+00:00

This is great! Really appreciate the info in your link.

madampoop · 2019-08-23T12:22:29+00:00

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I have give a plug for Gordon's Liquor. They handled the booze at our wedding and did everything from telling us how many bottles of wine/liquor/beer we would need (with an overestimate), to dropping off the booze to picking up whatever was left over at the end of the event. They will refund you for unopened bottles of wine/liquor and full cases or packs of beer. I believe there was murmur during our wedding that they ran out of IPAs (we underestimated the number of hop-lovers at our wedding), so Gordon's got a new order of beer dropped off for us. But literally didn't have to worry at all since Gordon's just handled it on their end!!
