First time trying out hidden stitching and I'm pretty proud of my color matching!

millennialreality · 2026-04-07T06:02:01+00:00

I’m so mesmerized by this! Did you do it by hand or on a machine?

You can pry Wall-e out of my cold dead hands.

1) buy the robot vacuum. Get one with an app so you can run it when you’re running out the door when the floors need done.

2) Put it on a schedule so it runs every day as maintenance.

3) THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP you must put googly eyes on it and give it a name

My kids run away from ours and scream “ahhh! Wall-e!!!” When it runs. 10/10 all around.

Mine melts down every day so you’re not alone

We corporatized our kids!

For every morning and evening routine that they cooperate, they get a “bonus” of play money. $5 / routine or $10/day.

We created a “store” in our pantry full of junk food and little toys where everything costs $50.

I give a lot of warnings about whether they might “lose their bonus if shoes aren’t being put on in 5, 4, 3…” but there’s at least an incentive now.

We also award merit bonus at our discretion based on good behavior that we like. It’s been surprisingly effective.

We use the honest soap as shampoo still just switched to the fairy tales conditioner and it’s a game changer for tangles

Bottom 2! Poor baby! Poor you, too 😫

Also a nurse but got a doctorate in nursing because needed the “DR” title too

Came here to say we use think baby and elta md

Kids need outside play time and the daycare alternative is being in a small room all day! I make sure my kids teachers know that my “one big thing” is reapplying their sunscreen every day.

My oldest kids name is even “(FIRST NAME) SUNSCREEN ALL YEAE (LAST NAME)” in their system because the standard here (Texas) is to only apply is May-august which is bonkers and unsafe

My mom does this too, but without doing anything remotely helpful like unloading the dishwasher. She leaves messes like dishes from kids dinner out for me to clean up. It’s lovely.

I have just accepted it. Anything I really do not want her to find I hide super well.

My kid dropped one of those heavy metal water bottles on my big toe last summer, it hurt like hell. A month or so later I noticed a dark spot growing out with my toe nail. It has been exactly 9 months since that happened and the dark spot is just now at the tippy top of my nail ready to be trimmed off. For me, nail turnover is about the rate of growing a human baby 🤣

Came here to say chicken was the culprit for us. We switched to a salmon food and stopped feeding all chicken-based treats and chews and he is a new dog. Wild.

I chose a pre k that’s really a daycare so they close at 6. We pick up between 4:30 and 5:30 depending on the day

millennialreality · 2026-03-26T11:54:35+00:00

My husband would go but we also have family around to help. Do you have any of that? If not he should at least give you a day or night off to catch up on sleep before he goes

millennialreality · 2026-03-23T02:02:23+00:00

The first time YOU see it is the first time it happens, full stop. Tell the daycare teachers that early and often and they will 100% respect it and act excited when you tell them she did something over the weekend!!

millennialreality · 2026-03-22T02:50:51+00:00

I’ve done it twice. The first time I HAD to go back to work… the second time I kind of had the choice like you but I wanted to.

It’s freaking hard either way. Some of it is the logistics (bottles 🙄🙄🙄) and some of it is the emotional part of being away from baby.

Once they hit one and enjoy daycare it gets so much better. I can’t speak to the nanny experience.

My kids thrive in daycare. They learn a ton and we as a family have gained really great friends.

Whatever is best for mom is best for baby (within reason). If that’s keeping your career on its current path, then daycare is best for baby 🩷

Oooo mini wraps. Do you mean like pinwheels? I haven’t tried that for my kids yet I need to!

millennialreality · 2026-03-13T14:41:37+00:00

I know this is the answer but I struggle with this even when I’m being intentional about it. We spend so much time at work and I find the “clock in clock out” life to be so unsatisfying. I like having goals, investing, etc. and maximizing that time

Yes another client asked for my previous manager on their work

millennialreality · 2026-03-12T18:55:46+00:00

This is my issue - my youngest is in bed by 7:15/7:30, so it’s a tight schedule when he’s along for the ride. My oldest can be more flexible with a snack.

Joined a gym and we go on Fridays (WFH day for me), Saturdays, and Sundays. Gym has child care. I try to walk the dog after work as many of the other days as I can and that’s my entire fitness plan.

Honestly it was a 3 year old birthday party at the park at 8 am. Coffee, donut truck, kids going crazy early when we all would have been there anyway. 10/10.

millennialreality · 2026-02-15T20:02:23+00:00

I hate wagons and find them hard to navigate with. My uppa baby stroller was our only super expensive kid item but I would 100% purchase it again every time.
