    Positive stories!

    @pentzbar000 I have so many (and not all of my children are neurotypical or even remotely easy). I think the best thing I can say is that I have 4 kids, and I have ABSOLUTELY no regrets about having any of them. I love them more than I can express. Sometimes it’s just the small wins that are...

    @sabrinagrace Have you put clear tape over the speakers? It makes so many toys much better!

    How do you approach the stupidity that is Daylights Savings Time?

    @robaya I never make any changes lol. Might have a rough day or two (but since I’m NOT a morning person, the “extra” hour to sleep inside since kid is not awake is amazing lol), but usually goes pretty smoothly. Fall is much worse with kids IMO.

    Big Age Gap Between 1 and 2?

    @ganyan Yep. I have a kid who’s in college and 3 kids 5 and under. Had oldest kid with abusive ex-husband, am now happily married and we had 3 additional kids. My oldest is pretty good with the little ones when he’s home (and no he’s not our babysitter lol). I love it and I say it as someone...

    Car seat configuration 3-wide

    @cptbobproffesoromemeology I promise, they do adjust!! And I have a neurodivergent kid that doesn’t like change, so I do understand how difficult it can be to adjust.

    Car seat configuration 3-wide

    @cptbobproffesoromemeology For over a year we had 3 across (two toddler/preschoolers) and an infant. They were all backward facing. We managed to buckle them all in. It is easiest to do when on the side that has the infant seat in it (without the infant seat actually snapped into the base if...

    Having a sixths baby?

    @alex_t Just a FYI about IUDs - an IUD is at least as effective as vasectomy, tubal ligation, etc. (Just passing along information for general knowledge in the future.). Also, yes, for anyone who uses condoms, ALL lubricants should be water-based due to risks with breakdown from oils. (I...

    Unhelpful husband

    @neroway Exactly!!! We get so wrapped up on who makes the most money when it has nothing to do with that. Both parents should be on involved and “parenting”. My husband is also the point of contact and he does a lot. Does he do everything? Absolutely not. I’m the on going to work daily and...

    Unhelpful husband

    @rubbles I don’t think you resent him being smaller breadwinner. What you resent is his incompetence- which is completely legitimate. Even if he was the primary breadwinner (and I say this as the ONLY actual breadwinner - although trust me I don’t discount my husband’s contributions at all), I...
