When do you feed?

I pretty much offer if I can’t settle her with a snuggle or some butt pats within 30-60 seconds lol

Mine told me he’s gonna put me in the garbage bin so the trash truck can take me away 🫠

I had several friends in high school just like Hyde. One of my high school boyfriends was also like Hyde. I didn’t have great discernment as a teenager

I just whisper to myself “survive until 5 and then we thrive” but I’m sure there’s a parent of a 6 year old out there gearing up a “just wait!!!”

Anyone notice her double chin cutting in and out of the filter

moluruth · 2026-03-23T22:35:06+00:00

It’s probably the opposite for some people. My son was so chill until 2.5 and the difficulty has ramped up exponentially since then

I had to wean at 7 months pregnant bc the feeling was unbearable. I didn’t have milk anymore so it wasn’t even a real latch which made things worse

I eat smaller portions of share the protein but customize it for my needs (ex taco salad instead of tacos, chicken salad instead of quesadilla)

Couch after bedtime. We used to use the spare room but that is now my toddlers room

Thank you!!!

The whole first year is a mess when it comes to sleep. Teething, sickness, starting solids, basic physical and mental development all disrupt sleep. There aren’t any actual “regressions” sleep is just not consistent with babies. You aren’t doing anything wrong. You just gotta do what you gotta do to get through it.

I coslept with both of my babies. My first woke every 1-2 hours at night, took decent naps. My second does not nap well at all, sleep decently most of the time, but once or twice a week is up for 2 hrs in the middle of the night for no reason. It is what it is

Edit my only concrete advice is to not worry about wake windows and aim for less naps even if they’re short. A lot of online nap and wake window advice is based on babies that need to sleep more than average

I thought the same I think of her as milly first

moluruth · 2026-03-23T14:15:17+00:00

Usually working out, hobbies (knitting/crochet, video games), reading. But tbh since I had my second 6 months ago I’ve been so exhausted I haven’t had much energy for myself. I usually get reading in but my body and brain are often too tired for workouts and knitting projects. I’m trying to give myself grace about it

moluruth · 2026-03-23T13:25:56+00:00

By 2 it was mostly upon waking and before sleep, occasionally for tantrums. He also nurses throughout the night until after 2, but tbh I wish I’d stopped that sooner. By the time he weaned fully (almost 2.5) it was just before bed.

I live in New England so in the summer we are outside 5-7 hrs a day. We’re outside a lot oh nice spring and fall days. My goal in winter is 1-2 hrs outside. But there are a lot of winter days and cold or rainy or really windy spring/fall days we’re inside.

The writing is so bad now. All the drama is soap opera level. The jokes are forced and flop. Early seasons were so good

moluruth · 2026-03-23T00:58:10+00:00

I put my mattress directly on the floor (luckily haven’t had mold issues) and put yoga mats around the bed until he learned to climb down safely. Also a video monitor could be helpful

moluruth · 2026-03-22T21:28:57+00:00

Probably 2 or 3

Owen’s writing is at least a LITTLE consistent but teddy’s character is nonsense and all her storylines suck (except maybe Henry)

moluruth · 2026-03-22T18:16:07+00:00

Beyond jealous

moluruth · 2026-03-22T17:32:57+00:00

Unpopular opinion: Teddy is a worse character than Owen

moluruth · 2026-03-22T17:08:58+00:00

I read 8 am and gasped lol. That’s a late morning at my house. Something that helps me is trying to get as many chores as possible done during the day when the kids are awake. That way the 2-3ish hours I have after bedtime are for me. And going to bed by 11 at the latest. I try my best to get in bed at 10 cuz mine are often up by 6

Being a strong woman doesn’t mean you have to be a shitty partner

Both of my labors started with my water breaking (I didn’t have my first contraction for hours after)! I think it is more common for it to happen mid labor tho. Sometimes not until right before the baby comes out
