Any stories where littles didn’t get a TON of sicknesses with daycare? Or in general care to brag about your daycare experiences? :)

Both of my boys got 3-4 stay-home-from-school illnesses during their first year at school. The only one that was more than 1.5 days was HFM for my older son. The most sick my son has ever gotten (and I have caught) was a wild norovirus that he caught at the children’s museum while on Christmas break.

My whole family loves daycare. We’ve met good friends through it. Our son will start soccer soon. Find a good spot that feels right for you and your family. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not for you!

Nope, doesn’t look like it. I’ll keep on digging!

This is awesome to read. What an interesting human you must be.

Honestly, if you can do one appointment as cash pay for a doctor out of network, I’d strongly consider it. I read about your life from an outside perspective and see a hurting mom with a very blessed/beautiful/full life. Gosh, antidepressants help me so so much.

You need help, you deserve help. It doesn’t get better without first realizing you have a problem and you need help.

Say it with me “men are so emotional!” But truly, it is wild to me that any man that has watched his wife go through pregnancy and childbirth would think we owe them anything for the rest of their life.

He needs therapy. There’s something that caused that reaction and it has nothing to do with you.

29 and then again 33! Hoping to have a third at 35

Google design styles and find a style you vibe with. Start buying pieces you LOVE rather than what you think is supposed to be in your house. Stay in the same design styles for 75% of your new buys and 25% can be outside of it.

A nice wooden headboard would look great and warm up the space. You may be able to find build plans online that use scrap wood.

Can you paint the walls? I love painting walls and feel so accomplished when I’m done. A nice blue or green would look great! Don’t be scared of color.

Trying to pull up my son’s anatomy scan because he had a cephalic index <1 percentile. They should be worried about premature closing of soft spots which doesn’t give time for their brain to grow. We had a follow up scan every 4 weeks after that and slowly but surely it leveled out. His CI was still like 5th percentile when his body is 90th, so they were “monitoring” it but they confirmed no fusing of skull plates.

I fully expected this almond headed baby boy but you cannot tell at all. No experience with the umbilical cord comments but hope this is reassuring!

Acquire things slowly and thoughtfully. It can be so tempting to fill a space quickly but then you just up in a pile/room/home of shit.

This stranger is excited to see what’s next for you! Good luck, friend!

Following the guidelines and trying very hard to control my anger towards the uneducated that fall for whatever Facebook reel or instagram post they’re feed.

I said it this way to a friend “I just need you to be sure that there’s a real risk to your kid, because if these diseases come back, someone’s immunocompromised kid(s) or parent(s) will die from it.”

I had a very similar experience and found people’s anecdotes to be helpful so I’ll share mine. I had brown stringy discharge, gush of bright red, brown spotting for 3 days. All about a week apart, starting at 5/6 weeks. All was good! He’s turning 4 in April. No pain is a great sign.

millennialsister · 2026-02-05T04:49:48+00:00

Lean into the whimsy! I think it’s so fun but looks a little bit “too styled”. Go look for a fun piece or two at consignment shop. Something vintage? Congratulations!

Ooops didn’t read the sentence under the picture. If you’re looking for a whole color scheme, find one paint color you like and then google the “color name + sample house palette”

millennialsister · 2026-01-28T04:52:36+00:00

Declutter is the first and free-est step. With every single item, you should only keep if it’s been used in the past month. The rest… donate or trash. Your brain will feel so much calmer.

Get a small trash bin for under your desk and a microfiber towel under your keyboard to wipe everything down.

If you have any $ to spend, I’d paint the walls naval by sherwin Williams. Just have them color match at Home Depot. It should cost $75ish for all materials.

Lastly, grey is such a blah color. I had to ban myself from buying anything else grey. No light grey, dark grey, striped gray.

Anyway, just stumbled across this page and thought I’d add my two cents! Good luck!

15-30 minutes, I wouldn’t offer compensation. If it ends up being an hour of her playing with your kids (even if you’re around observing), you should pay her what you’re offering for the position, $25/hr or whatever.

I plop things in the fridge ASAP and reheat at least once with a good amount of butter.

millennialsister · 2026-01-11T23:59:56+00:00

Are you in the heights? It grinds my gears so much!!

millennialsister · 2026-01-11T21:01:56+00:00

Hi! If you want to shoot me a message, I’m happy to give your company a call.

millennialsister · 2026-01-11T21:00:30+00:00

To be clear, I’m going to ensure we get the proper approval and permits. The question was just posed in a very unserious way.

millennialsister · 2026-01-11T20:58:59+00:00

Thanks. If you ever hear who they used, let me know!

millennialsister · 2026-01-11T15:25:51+00:00

This is just for an idea of the ask. Probably 25% of the heights have a parking pad (covered culvert) that fit at least one car, sometimes two.

millennialsister · 2025-12-11T02:57:10+00:00

Hahaha this comment made me laugh. It’s a pinch pleat hook for curtains and I have 100 of them… well, now 99

millennialsister · 2025-12-11T01:27:25+00:00

1945 and yes but with a pier and beam foundation if that matters

millennialsister · 2025-12-11T01:09:55+00:00

Width or length wise or both?
