    My husband offered me an out yesterday

    @pkhaney My husband worked nights when we had babies and it was super rough on all of us. Much better when he switched to day shifts. Some people can function like that with kids but some cannot. Also adjusting to a new baby in the house on top of a new job at night is a lot as well! I would...

    Another mom told me I have a fat a** today

    @sakura656 I would have complained to the staff. No wonder her kid is a jerk with that role model. Probably would have said that to her as well. She’s a bully and teacher her kid to be one too. You taught your kid to be calm but also speak up.

    2 year old and 6 month old I’m getting really discouraged - vent

    @jlovespb This will be the hardest time. I’m so sorry. It’s insanity. I tried listening to advice to let things go and it never helped because everything had to get done. Try to remember it will get better. Do whatever you can to get some time to yourself. My husband was working nights when my...

    Walk me through your laundry routine! I’ll start

    @ava1453 Everyone has a basket in their room for basic clothes that are moderately dirty. In the hall bathroom we have a decrepit old wicker basket that’s missing a handle and has seen some shit since it was a baby shower gift for my first. That one is for the dinner napkins, cleaning cloths...

    SAHM and Spouse WFH

    @toolenduso I do all the childcare and house care until he is done for the day around 6:00. We trade off on dishes/getting kids ready for bath. He does some house projects during the weekends or lunch breaks and sometimes runs errands. Recreation time is when kids are asleep. Occasionally we go...

    Do we stay, safe, or move and risk everything?

    @dixiegospel Okay it sounded like you were moving on the prospects of better jobs not that one was already offered. If you have the job I would go try it out. I’m in the south and don’t love the culture at times but I couldn’t handle WI winter. If the schools are better for sure take it.

    Do we stay, safe, or move and risk everything?

    @dixiegospel I wouldn’t move unless one of you have gotten a job offer.

    R.I.P. Old Life

    @trishers That’s way tougher than the standards here have been. I can’t imagine. I hope it ends soon.

    R.I.P. Old Life

    @trishers I don’t mean this to come off in a shitty way but I’m a little jealous of covid baby moms. Maybe it’s because I’m an introvert or maybe because all our family can be suffocating and wouldn’t leave us alone post baby. The idea of just being with my kids as babies without all the running...

    Decided to homeschool for now

    @alidvx The homeschool subreddit has been pretty helpful for me this last year. I homeschooled my 4 and 6 year olds so it was pre-k and k. I was also bummed they didn’t get to have more socialization but the homeschooling went pretty well. The library was an amazing resource that we used a lot...

    Does anyone else’s working spouse do this? I swear it’s cognitive dissonance

    @ajewelinhiscrown I’d be hurt by that comment. I would probably keep score for a week but that’s never suggested as the helpful response. Some people you can sit down and say “that hurt me I do dishes all the time, of course I can’t when we are gone all day”. Others you have to say “I’ve done...
