@hisvictor Does he always wear shoes? I would put alarms on all doors and cameras. US Insurance might cover a wagon if he elopes regularly. I don’t know if running away is normal for a 4 year old. Transitions are hard. Get him evaluated and look into different parenting coaching. His behavior...

@sakura656 Lol this is wild! I love the idea of my fat ass knocking down kids. Our children’s museum has a 5 and under room which I really like. I wish you had found the teacher and complained. That would probably remove her from ever chaperoning again.

@daniellebouchie I, SAHP, do the thing your husband does…majorly embarrassed to say. We have talked about it in therapy. My husband feels the same way as you do. You can feel whatever feeling you are feeling. On my side, I am having a hard time parenting and my s/o is my parenting-partner...

@patrickdenton I have done PT. I like it way better than full time. I really cherish work-life balance. I like cleaning my own house, cooking/shopping, and other home making tasks. If I worked full time I would 100% have a cleaner. My partner doesn’t have the same rigorous schedule yours has...

@atreides82 If you are taking suggestions. I would definitely yell at my mom (WTH). I weaned my 2nd kid earlier because there was too much. Reddit is a great place to talk about your husband’s stuff. Rehome the dog now. It is not that expensive to have other’s do your laundry. It might be a nice...

@jonderdonk4 My 3 year old sleeps 8 pm to 6:30 am with a hour nap. We have a Toniebox in his bed for him to listen to while he falls asleep. I get a break because my husband does bedtime. At 7 pm, we put our baby to bed and 3 year old says goodnight to mommy. Do you think all the structure...

@chux7 My husband works from home. I don’t do any morning work. He takes the baby while he is on a lunch break. He stops working at 4 pm so one of us can cook dinner without the kids. I dunno. Your division of labor seems off.

@binfoco Charter and private school would be very similar. I suggest you volunteer as a room mom or get on the PTO. You can take more leadership during parties, too. You can also donate soap and lotion to his classroom. It isn't abnormal for children to not be able to celebrate holidays for...

@afolabi1024 It’s fine. Work on independent hygiene, waiting/walking in a line and identifying emotions and you’ll have a great student when they start school.

@jcano We do weekday lunches! Highly recommend. I am tired at night time, paying a babysitter, worrying about if the kids will go to sleep, and my mood could be totally crap by 7 pm. Sometimes we get pedicures together on our lunch breaks too. We also pay to go to couple’s therapy which I...

@billyli Well then it makes sense to me.

@puddintain Exactly! My parents did the travel ornament. I traveled a lot in my young adulthood, so I would always bring them another ornament.

@mikeytosh You are only 4 months postpartum. You have a tiny baby. Don’t be too hard on yourself. I suggest babywearing and just going out and doing whatever you like until she has a solid nap schedule. Go shopping, get lunch with friends, go hiking, anything.

@billyli SAHPing is more than keeping your kids at home. My eldest goes to a pre-school program. It benefits everyone in the family. I quit working because I hated getting home at 5 pm only to have to rush around to do household chores. I pick him up at 2 pm. And siblings will never have the...

@robertharris We bought a large canvas tent as the big present. I buy 1 ornament each year that speaks to what each kiddo was into that year. I am LOVING all the various responses. I thought about leaving this sub because I am not a “what toxins are in my life?” kind of mom.

@girdyourloins We have used this Mr. Rogers book for inspire for activities for little. Mister Rogers' Plan & Play Book: Activities from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for Parents & Child Care Providers https://a.co/d/2FiJFEx

@informant I read somewhere that if you are BF then pumping that it us normal to get less than 3 oz because you have already fed your baby. Why would your body want to burn more calories? This made me feel better. That being said eat more and drink more water. I also read warming your breast...

@monique77 The question isn’t “does this feel normal? Or fair?” The question is “does this feel equitable? Do we all get our needs met?” If not what needs to change? The working parent in my house (husband) does everything you do but I do laundry and shop and cook all meals before he gets...

@foreverhis84 You should feel resentful. Your and your children’s needs aren’t* being met. You entered into marriage expecting an equal partner but frankly you got someone who barely pulls his weight. He cannot afford child care for his children. He isn’t willing to provide childcare help. When...

@drawingangel2 I used to yell as a teacher. I wouldn't even be mad. It was a natural reaction like, “if I am louder, they will hear me better.” nope. My piece of advice is to turn everything you want to yell into a song. Google “Call and Response” and “attention grabbers” might help you snap...
