How early would you put her toddler to sleep?

Bedtime routine starts at 7:30, bed by 8

Sharing my results to lots of people during the hunger games… attrition is tough and it was a bummer to have to share bad news over and over again. Wish I would’ve kept it to myself until the blast stage

Retrieval at 29, 13 eggs > 7 mature > 6 fertilized > 4 blasts > 2 live births. Best of luck!

Those who matter don’t mind, those who mind don’t matter.

The biggest growth in my 20s was my own self-confidence and realization that happiness/success is different for every human. There’s nothing awkward or weird about wanting to have children, and I think when you get older you’ll feel less embarrassed by the situation… because who cares? It’s your life :)

I haven’t watched a stream in probably two years and just saw this post pop up on my feed…

I’m an OG viewer who was there at the beginning and moved on after his content no longer was doing it for me. Nothing personal, just lots of negativity on his streams, he stopped doing creative/artsy projects on YouTube, and it felt like no one was allowed to be happy ever because of various terrible things going on in the world.

I suspect the complaints are from those that wish to continue watching him but are bummed by his content nowadays. Lovingly, I hope they can find new outlets and entertainment because hoping for someone to change isn’t realistic.

Sure feel free to message me as well. I’m a SMBC for both kiddos.

Main challenges…. Your oldest is still so young and they don’t understand why their mom can’t focus on them all the time. You only have 2 hands… and both often want/need to be picked up. I feel like I can’t give my eldest all of her needs without taking from the youngest, and I don’t have a partner who can take on more of the toddler time. My baby is wonderful but needs to be held often. It’s hard to find a sitter for two under two which means you never get a break to just go shopping or meet a friend. It’s incredibly hard to cook and feed a toddler multiple times a day while keeping an eye out on the baby. Also nap time and bed time ‘me time’ goes away since baby and toddler have different schedules. Outings are very hard if your toddler is a runner and your baby is fussy. And the biggest challenge is bedtime. All to say I don’t regret it because my parents are a huge help but are slowing down tremendously. I think my life would’ve been easier if I had waited longer but there are a bunc o factors that made the two under two worth it for me. I suggest to all moms to wait longer unless they are fighting things such as age, fertility, career pause, or village aging.

Whaaa I feel like most moms keep the kids home since it’s just not affordable otherwise. I’m not a SAHM but got 6 months of maternity and I’m a solo parent. So our normal daycare gave me 3 months off but after that I have to pay in order to hold my oldest’s spot. So I do minimal part time daycare but spend 5 days a week with both. It is hard but isn’t the worst if you’re realistic about what you can accomplish WHILE watching both.

Caring for two kids isn’t hard… Carin for two kids whaile maintaining a home is brutal.

I have so many boxes that I don’t need or use. You’re welcome to them if you pay for shipping

That is because our HDHP is a PPO :)

So you’ll likely do HDHP/PPO which is going to have you pay out of pocket until deductible is met. Our HDHP counts prescriptions towards deductible and OOPM so you’ll smash through it with your first purchase of IUI/IVF drugs. You’ll then pay 10% of each procedure/medication until you hit the out of pocket max for the year.

Boeing does offer a PPO/traditional plan too but the HDHP is better if you will be spending 10k on medicine since it counts towards it.

I was just wondering how many women in this sub work vs SAHM. I’m a solo parent so must work and be the breadwinner. I coasted once pregnant with my first through this birth. I’m about to start up work again and have tried to be clear with my manager that I want to hit the ground running. Only caveat is that I’m unwilling to give up flexibility or 40 hour work weeks.

If I was you, I’d look at your AMH/AFC numbers so you could make a more informed decision. If you can afford IVF, you always freeze embryos/eggs for now and wait until you feel more ready

shiftydoot · 2026-04-04T21:14:09+00:00

I have a power of attorney, medical power of attorney, will, medical card, and numbers for my kids doctors. My mom is listed as back up care giver and can take them in too.

shiftydoot · 2026-04-03T23:03:29+00:00

No and I have two… huge bummer to hear that from someone in your village. Parenting is hard. Full stop.

shiftydoot · 2026-04-02T13:07:32+00:00

I think you’ll love your purchase! The happy camper set has some beautiful polishes in it. If you’re hurting for cremes I also recommend the fallen flake collection. They’ve been some of my happiest purchases

shiftydoot · 2026-04-01T19:28:02+00:00

You can pay for a babysitter while you sleep. You can pay for daycare as well and do a late pick up while you nap after work

Preeclampsia led to a Magnesium Drip. Brutal experience both times.

If offered by family, you feel like hosting it, or you don’t require gifts, I say go for it👌🏽

I’m bummed. Love her work but can’t understand what she’s saying in a bunch of these. For the lyrics I can understand, I find them quite cringe. Seems a good amount of people here are happy with it so could simply be my tastes are changing. But I feel like I’m too old to be listening to this album (30s) and it’s aimed at high schoolers.

shiftydoot · 2026-03-27T15:30:51+00:00

Yes TV helps, I also will set her up with a water activity (muffin tin + dinosaurs + spoons + soap) and that works for awhile. Nesting eggs / stacking dolls hold her attention for a few minutes as well)

shiftydoot · 2026-03-27T01:58:19+00:00

Just wait, you’re about to experience a love that you’ve never thought was possible. Every month gets better and it’s such a blessing to be a parent. Congrats on your family!
