    Today I hate being a SAHP

    @ajewelinhiscrown Nobody gets to volunteer my time. Nobody. If she made the play date then she gets to figure out how to make it happen. I’m not going to the store unless I’m already going to the store. Stop allowing this to happen. You aren’t her assistant.

    How do you guys handle night time wake ups with newborn?

    @striveforclarity Shifts. I never got it worked out quite right but I’m sure there are people here that got a good shift going. Someone has to go to bed quite early for it to work but if you can each get a five hour solid block that will go a long way.

    daily activities for little to no cost??

    @capriccio Around me there are several churches with free indoor playgrounds. Sometimes they have set times. My best advice is to join a moms group. I was in three. There are always meetups and play dates happening. Check for free museums around you. Or memberships. We bought a membership...

    Does your working partner help overnight?

    @daisy83 We started at 10-2-6 rule. From 10-2 I did the night wakings. From 2-6 he did them. Honestly though, with a newborn, IMO he should be handling the other two kids.

    Today I decided to stop parenting my spouse

    @bpolst I TOTALLY get that because I am exactly the same! Just throwing it out there if that where your pain point is. Gotta either choose the fight or let it go, right? I do the family laundry and I tell my kids starting at age 4: I don’t turn clothes right side out and I do not check...

    Today I decided to stop parenting my spouse

    @bpolst Good for you. I think this is a message we get from society and depending on how or where you were raised it can be even an even stronger message that women need to mother their husbands. Expecting an adult to behave like an adult is never a wrong choice. Maybe he should just do his...

    @kimrossie The only thing you can’t change about a house is the location. 🤷‍♀️

    New here, seeking guidance in uncharted territory

    @maddie_addie Will you be working part time or fully SAHP? The way you talk about your wife being flexible implies that you want her to work AND do childcare. That’s not going to work. If you’re a SAHP then you’re the childcare while the working spouse works. When the working parent gets off...

    It’s hard for me to not feel resentful over my spouse working so much

    @foreverhis84 My husband was in the military before we had kids. I told him I was happy to support his military career if that’s what he wanted, but I would not have children in that lifestyle. He got out and got a 9-5 job. Your husband needs to choose. He can either pay childcare or get a new...
