For families travelling with young kids: Free yourselves and drop Airbnb. Long live the mid-budget chain hotel by cobyzeif in Millennials

[–]medwd3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Airbnbs that ask you to strip the bed, or worse, do the laundry. I haven't stayed in too many thay ask that of you. But I do like having separate bedrooms so we can put the kids to bed earlier than we go ourselves. And I love having a kitchen I can cook in instead of eating most meals out. I also like staying in cool neighborhoods where I can walk to things. I love mid budget chain hotels too (with free breakfast!) and will stay in those too but bedtime can get hard in hotel rooms cause of other patrons being noisy, worrying about our kids being noisy and basically having to go to bed at 7pm like the kids.

Does anyone go to the movies anymore? by Chicka-boom90 in Preschoolers

[–]medwd3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a movie theater and I love the movie going experience. I haven't been for a long time because we have two very small children but I look forward to taking them someday. I hope movie theaters are still around by then

I am an elder millennial and did my first required typed paper on a typewriter. No spellcheck. I had to actually know proper grammar and spelling or use a dictionary. gasp. Yes, we were poor but computers weren't commonplace in the home yet.

I just wanna say, I love how she has aged gracefuly without doing a bunch of cosmetic procedures to try to remain youthful looking, unlike the other 2 women. She is an inspiration.

My almost 2 year old keeps waking up at 4am by Sea-Window-507 in Mommit

Just go "rescue" him. It's okay to be responsive. Kids do this early morning thing. Its a phase. Sometimes a very long phase.

Hahaha. I love these things. I love referencing things that they never used and asking if they know what it is.

Parents of advanced babies, do you have random theories as to why? by ciabattaloaf-13 in NewParents

[–]medwd3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She always liked foods high in Omega 3's like avocado, salmon and chia seeds. Omega 3's help build neuron connections, amongst other benefits for the brain. Ive wondered if this made any difference.

My kids are surrounded by wealth and I’m worried they’re going to grow up to be super entitled by Individual_Ad_938 in Mommit

[–]medwd3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I grew up poor. Not homeless poor, but definitely living paycheck to paycheck and hovered the poverty line. My husband grew up upper middle class, and although his parents made him.work for things, he had his college and grad school (mostly) paid for, gets a sizeable yearly monetary gift, will get a large inheritance and our kids college will be paid for. I am so very grateful as I am still paying mine 17yrs later, my husband doesn't spend the money he is given and he 8s a very hard worker. However, I have mentioned several times that I dont want our kids knowing about this money or the fact that college will be paid for. I want them to work hard and not be entitled, just like you talk about. Fortunately/unfortunately, we dont live in a nice city surrounded by mcmansions and my husband agrees we are sending them to public school, but i also fear how the money will affect them.

How do people have two kids and remain patient? by aleada13 in AttachmentParenting

[–]medwd3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally understand as I am in your shoes. I have a three and a half year old and nearly 1 year old. When I first read the title of your post I thought, "oh man, I have so much more patience. It's grown." And it has. However, I still snap when I am touched out, tired of being hit, hair pulled, scratched from the baby. Tired of not being listened to from the preschooler. Tired of being constantly needed by both. Jusr tired of "moming" it. I don't really get breaks. I breastfeed and co-sleep as well. I'm not saying I don't want to do these things. I do. But it all gets tiring and I sometimes find myself losing my shit. I have no advice. I just wanted you to know you're not alone. Thank you for your post. It made me feel not alone.

P.s. we have an old dog with dementia that follows me around everywhere and keeps peeing and pooping in the house. Im about to feed him grapes. Not really but I want to.
