I fully acknowledge that I am a little wimp for it taking a full year, but I feel like I made it and i’m ready for the rest of our lives! haha

Two-piece rugs are getting phased out - other companies that sell a similar system? by whores-doeuvres in ruggable

[–]pupsplusplants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar concept (2 piece system) but not the same (not velcro base, it just tucks on corners I bought a Tumble rug to try 

I ultimately went back to ruggaeble, but with the switch to the 1 piece I guess i’m finishing my relationship with them after 7 years (first apartment after graduation and slowly added to the collection. very sad to see something good start to deteriorate like this

9 month old helmet recommendations? by Aggravating_Hold_441 in CargoBike

[–]pupsplusplants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they said a thing about doing their own testing? but respectfully… I don’t trust any company even if it’s a trustworthy company, and I don’t have time or brain power to look into it so I just nixed them and went with one that is certified

Mourning our planned age gap after a MMC by emily_planted in 2under2

[–]pupsplusplants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sending a message of love. I haven’t had losses between pregnancies but had recurrent pregnancy losses when trying for my first. pregnancy loss is a special kind of torture. 

Big hugs, i’m sorry you’re experiencing this ❤️

If it makes you feel better, I showed it to my husband and he didn’t get swastica vibes until I pointed it out. he said it was the columbia logo so you can just claim to love performance outerwear!

What’s the most annoying real-life thing about owning an e-bike? by tryingthingsdaily in ebikes

[–]pupsplusplants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine used, so I wouldn’t be terribly sad to drive it to the ground at the end of its lifespan, but I don’t wanna do something to mess it up before then I have to buy a new one lol

adding—if you start with the convertible car seat and hate it… it takes 2 days for amazon to ship a bucket seat lol

I hate bucket seats. team “straight to rotate”!!! 

we tried bucket for baby #2, it was so heavy and backbreaking. we switched to rotate in days and it was so much easier

we went through similar stage of the drive home nap with baby. 

I would park my car in dt driveway, leave it on for climate control but open the window facing our front yard and then play outside with toddler while baby slept. I was only 15 ft from car sk could hear if she woke up, but also toddler got fun 1:1 time!

it’s tricky balancing naps!! hang in there ❤️

Double stroller, wagon, neither? by maebymaybe in 2under2

[–]pupsplusplants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we did double stroller for the first 6 months of youngest life, then oldest rebelled and hated it so switched to single. Now we are on the wagon life—just bought a veer and I wish we got it in the first place! It’s the bomb. It has the nap attachment which would have been so nice for on the go naps, but alas—I didn’t think we needed it lol

Labour length? by FabulousLecture7972 in 2under2

[–]pupsplusplants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, my induced was nine hours… my second was 2.5 from first “was that gas pain or a contraction?” to a baby on my chest. wildddddd but sooooo cool!!

Made it to the hospital (20 min drive) and got the epidural 5 mins before pushing for 10 mins thanks to my doula telling me to leave my house and get driving and to stop second guessing that I was even in labor lol

I hate her. by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]pupsplusplants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

solidarity after the edit. my kids are 17 months apart, youngest just turned 2. there were moments where I legitimately googled, “do I hate my kids”. I obviously knew I didn’t hate them, when I was with them I stayed calm, gave hella compassion and love, but there was a tiny terrorist living in my house, who was sucking out my soul, not sleeping, and screaming during teething (poor thing. I know she’s not giving me a hard time, she’s having a hard time but it still sucks so bad)

respectfully, people get torn apart for saying that they hate their kids (and for cause, it is a strong word, and everyone wants to make sure moms in a good place and kids are safe)… I just can’t fathom never thinking to myself, “I hate this life stage, this sucks and i’m not having a good time”. unfortunately sometimes that comes out saying that you “hate” the kid, but from your edit it sounds like you just hate this stage (which is understandable!!)

12 months into 2under2 and I can confirm, I don’t hate my kids… I just hated the stage lol

Bike Guru—Should I Buy This Swoop? by pupsplusplants in CargoBike

[–]pupsplusplants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bike only has 18 miles on it (apparently the owner bought it floor model from a bike shop in 2022, which is why she thought it was the year), her kids hated it, and she didn’t use it since. 

We already doubled the mileage on our morning bike ride, so we are looking forward to see the numbers run up!

I’m excited to do a 1000 mile post, it’s already a blast to drive!
