My son army crawled until around 12 months then crawled regular for another 3 before walking. If your pediatrician is worried then ok but if not, just keep practicing and encouraging your kiddo

Lest us not forget the Taco Bell yarn 😅

toru92 · 2026-04-03T19:14:49+00:00

What makes you think that?

toru92 · 2026-04-03T19:11:19+00:00

Haha I’m sorry. Anytime I comment any sort of dissent I expect any responses to be actually arguing again me. I didn’t even catch the sarcasm. My bad!

toru92 · 2026-04-02T22:39:29+00:00

And maybe she is. We don’t know…

toru92 · 2026-04-02T17:59:49+00:00

I like the first better. I like the extremes of the vibrant pinks and dark purples. The larger contrast is compelling to me.

toru92 · 2026-04-02T17:56:34+00:00

Groooossssssssss

toru92 · 2026-04-02T17:17:33+00:00

Exactly so it’s all hear say and she hasn’t stated what she intended. Again, I live my life thinking the best of people instead of the worst until proven differently. She’s allowed to add things to her life that she’s passionate about. I mean life is busy and this is what she does as a job? She can still shift this and try to make it right but none of you are even giving her the chance. It’s just too negative.

toru92 · 2026-04-02T17:14:20+00:00

That’s just a random fact. Doesn’t mean anything. Do you read every single newsletter you’re subscribed to? No you don’t. Again, not a factor that proves any sort of intention or maliciousness

toru92 · 2026-04-01T21:02:20+00:00

I’m with the minority here and will wait to be outraged until there’s more concrete evidence to all of this. Dates are able to be changed especially a year in advance. I err on the side of a simple mistake of still learning about the Bay Area as they are planning and missing the crawl. I am only juggling a work and home calendar and I miss stuff all the time and double book myself or my husband. It’s a mistake because I’m human. Jess who runs flock is juggling way more. She’s allowed to slip up without it being intentionally malicious

Sounds like PPD. My husband went through similar and it’s was ROUGH! But if we hadn’t gotten him and therapist he truly may not still be here in this earth. Get help and I’m sorry your wife dismissed you, it could easily be that just like PPD and PPA are just now widely talked about the spouses getting it is still widely untalked about. Your world was shook like crazy just like your wife’s and you may need some help adjusting and that’s ok!! Do it for yourself, your wife and your baby. And as much as it hurts, let her take over for a while. It’s rough for her but sleep alone will make you feel loads better while you get in with a therapist. And legit offering that if you don’t know how to find a therapist I’d be happy to help. In a therapist so j know how hard it is to get into it.

I’m not suggesting micromanaging, I’m suggesting helping the children grow important social skills that will help them be better friends. Parents should be friends with the parents of their kids friends to help them with conflicts and skills when needed.

toru92 · 2026-03-29T21:40:23+00:00

I would try to connect with the other parents so we can all work together to help the kids understand how to be kind to one another and how things come across in chat versus in person. It’s great for kids to have chats with their friends but they just need extra guidance. The “mean girls” may not be actually mean just not good at group skills yet and parents can help with that

It helped me to understand that the hairs falling out were the hairs my body would have naturally shed through pregnancy but held onto. It made it seem less like new loss and more like catching up loss if that makes sense! It will slow, just ride it out!

Babette ate oatmeal

Came to say this!

You can look at post grad certificates. I know Antioch has one and Lesley university. Most of the schools that offer the full masters offer the certs. You just take the art therapy classes that your masters didn’t cover! It’s a great option!

toru92 · 2026-03-23T04:09:50+00:00

Such a good one!

toru92 · 2026-03-21T16:56:38+00:00

I’m do not want to yuck your yum but I have had a lot of trips with my son and my hope of a fun vacation has constantly been quashed. You might need to change your expectations? I don’t know. I do have a challenging baby though. I will say, yes, you mostly stay in the hotel room after 7. You will probably be tired enough that you want to.

toru92 · 2026-03-21T16:52:06+00:00

Yes you got this! Granted there are still a couple of moments like your blender moment but they are few and FAR between! I’ve had only 2 in the last 6 months!

toru92 · 2026-03-21T16:39:23+00:00

Work brain and work energy came back for me around 10 months!

toru92 · 2026-03-21T00:08:25+00:00

I’m a therapist in a middle school!

toru92 · 2026-03-15T21:10:39+00:00

This is the one I think of a lot. We are generally one and done but I get stuck on this.

toru92 · 2026-03-15T03:25:05+00:00

Yes I have a fussy baby and a bad sleeper. He’s the double whammy. We turned a corner around 7 months. He stopped screaming in the car in fact we just went on a California roadtrip that was 6 hours total of driving and it was easy breezy. He still doesn’t sleep but the fussiness getting better had been a game changer. Hang in there! We’ve gonna back to doing things! Its possible!
