@monkeym24 We were going to be on vacation during my sons pre-k graduation—he’s doing another year before K so I wasn’t fussed about it. When i mentioned that to the daycare director she said “well he isn’t graduating so he wouldn’t have been able to participate anyway”, and obviously I agree on...

@chris239 And OPs mom telling her she looks “terrible”…I mean she may have spotless floors but you won’t hear me calling her a perfect mom 👀

@mystichaze A baby that age will wake if hungry. I have never heard that 6hr recommendation (have never heard it at all past the time that baby has regained birth weight). Assuming there are no other health concerns I would dismiss this as bad advice and listen to your original pediatrician...

@amy422 My Toyota Sienna is my third favorite child, after my first two biological kids 😂

@naila If it helps to reframe it, I work in an alternate city several times per month. Depending which city I’m in that day, I can be in the car 4hrs in a day or up to 8hrs! It certainly is not my favorite but as you’ve mentioned, there are trade offs (salary, flexibility, career advancement...

@michaelo And who are they fooling with their giant SUVs, I see you in there with your car seats Rachel, you’re not better than me in my minivan 😂

@sifiso Well it isn’t really locked—it’s a doorknob cover on the inside. Same as we have on the furnace room door to make sure they don’t go in (but we easily can). EMS would have no difficulty getting in, although I’m having a hard time thinking of a scenario where we are unavailable, EMS is in...

@ballofconfusion I think TK pretty much is preK? I wouldn’t sweat it.

@liz555 So I’m not sure if this would be easy to implement at this point, but I have those doorknob things on my 4yo door, he’s kinda locked in there lol. Maybe that seems harsh to some people but it works for us—he really has never gotten into the habit of wanting out of his room during bedtime...

@marsoco I’ve also heard (the Big Little Feelings method) advice to keep it super boring. Don’t engage with arguing or begging or whatever, don’t raise your voice or get riled up. Just walk them back to their room 6 billion times if necessary.

@snaptikappmefr I’ll defer advice to other experts here but wanted to tell you what a great job you’re doing. That is so much. All with a brand new baby at home. They are so lucky to have you ❤️

@grace4nan Yes! Boundaries! Everyone is walking all over OP. “No” is a full sentence. It is totally fine to just tell people you don’t have time (including the husband who can certainly take the baby to the ATM with him).
