    Recently made friend bathed my child while looking after her (5 yr old)

    @spiritualgrowth Doesn’t sound weird to me. She was trying to be helpful. The neighbours used to watch my sister and I one afternoon in the week while my parents were at work. We always used to play in the tub together with their son. My sister and I were 4 and 6 years old and their son 7 or 8...

    Baby Names

    @aniko Every person I’ve known whose last name was Campbell had the nickname “soup” or “soups”. I’m sure Cambell would also get associated with soup. How about Cameron nn Cam?

    When are you getting to spend time with your babies?

    @eric1844 I work 24-48 (rarely up to a 60) hour shifts. I’m gone for days at a time. That does leave me my full days off with him. He gets me 1-2 days in a row before I go back to 1-2 days. He’s usually in bed 7-8 pm, and I leave before he wakes up or I wake him to take him to my mom. Days I...

    Dog nipped baby (X-posted)

    My husband adopted her as a puppy and she was 9 when we put her down. She didn't harm the baby the first time, but we knew we couldn't live with ourselves if on the second time she did. I miss her, but I also do not regret making the choice.

    Should I let my kids walk home by themselves ?

    @mrscott1026 When my sister was 8 and I was 6, she would walk me about that distance.

    Losing it; 2 y/o awake for hours at a time. How to break the cycle?

    @maxinvasion Sleep consultant. Find a local one, ideally speak to someone who has used them. I thought it was snake oil, my wife insisted, but they saved our lives. We were in the absolute horrors and they had our kid sleeping through the night within a few weeks. You've a bunch of people...

    How/are you changing what your <5 y.o. does in light of Omicron and the Pfizer vaccine trial issues?

    @edwina958 Enough kids have gotten it at this point and while we can’t be certain of the long term effects, the likelihood of hospitalization and/or death is extremely low. At 3.5 years old I wouldn’t be that concerned. I’d be more cautious regarding kids < 1yo as the hospitalization rate is...

    I’m so tired of hearing what other people did/ are doing with their babies

    @charity78777 You're totally reasonable here.

    Driving 5/ 6 hours (without counting breaks) for Thanksgiving with a 2 month old. Would you do it?

    @graced1257 Don’t do it. Especially during cold/flu/RSV season. We refused to drive 3 hours in the dead of winter for Christmas for my family, and I’m glad we did it. Yeah, it chapped some rear ends but we stood by our decision and I’m glad we did.

    I don’t want parenting advice from someone who doesn’t put their 2 year old in a car seat

    @batman21 What she is doing is actually illegal and if the two year old is caught in the car without a carseat she's looking at not only having her children taken away but possible jailtime for wreckless endangerment. I wont even go into detail about everything else that could happen while a 2...

    I don’t like my daughter’s friend. And they’re 7

    @olly91 I think it’s OK to tell the eight-year-old that the way she talks to, and about, your household doesn’t sound very friendly. I don’t think it has to be any heavier than that.

    Tired of “words I can’t pronounce”

    @mulanger Yes it would just burn you. And even if you just end up with a tan, UVA rays and UVB rays do different things to your skin. The rays that burn you are different to the ones that give you cancer - i.e. you can avoid a burn and still be damaging ur skin

    Will I regret only having 1 child?

    @fallingapart My only is 12 and I’ve never regretted it and he has always been very outspoken about not wanting siblings anyway lol

    My husband offered me an out yesterday

    @pkhaney He needs a different profession. That clearly isn’t working out for him. I would change all my passwords and passcodes and keep them separate from him personally until he’s earned my trust back. I mean the violation of trust is just absolutely obtuse. He’s treating you like a criminal...
