    What’s for Christmas, y’all?

    @pnao My 3.5 YO asked Santa to bring her a purple bicycle. So naturally we’re gonna get the 20 month old a tricycle, so they’ll both get new rides haha

    In desperate need of a break but husband won’t let my mom help me

    @sam77 Absolutely not.. I’m an immigrant so not a lot of local friends yet (so difficult to make friends as an adult), and we only have one car and two toddlers. I have NEVER felt trapped. If anything I’m the one who insists on me staying home because I believe it’s what best for our kids; but...

    Income needed for 3 kids

    @wren84 Yeah I mean we’re expecting our third and my husband makes a little over 100k. Things are tight but we’re making do. 800k is not “comfortable”, it’s (incredibly) wealthy 😂

    Kitchen planning

    @proven I wish I could point you towards Farmhouse Vernacular but she sadly left YouTube. Anyway, you should look into/ research kitchen efficiency. People feel like they need way bigger kitchens nowadays because our use of space isn’t smart. Which is not to say that you getting a bigger...

    What Cheerios-like cereal are you feeding your baby?

    @dayssola The Brazilian ministry of health has moved away from the food pyramid and onto classifying food into one of three categories: unprocessed foods, minimally processed, and highly processed. So for example, oatmeal is an unprocessed food, but cheerios, although made of oats, are a highly...

    What Cheerios-like cereal are you feeding your baby?

    @dayssola Yeah we’re similar. At that age (before one) I don’t think we had given processed foods at all either, unless you’re counting store bought purées. We’re not paleo, I just generally follow the Brazilian dietary guidelines, which have gotten an update in the last decade and I personally...

    What Cheerios-like cereal are you feeding your baby?

    @playthelyric I’ve never given cereal to my kids as babies. We don’t keep it in the house now that they’re older (3.5 and 2) either, but they’ll have it if we sleep over at my in-laws.

    Am I ever going to sleep again?

    @3angels I sleep trained my first at 7 months and again at 2. My second, who is 18 months, I didn’t due to circumstances and I deeply regret it. You can sleep train a two year old but it’s a different process. You should look into bedtime fading, and maybe use a night light to try to correct...

    @vikas777 Hey, check if your kid is getting their two year molars!

    Am I ever going to sleep again?

    @3angels That makes it hard, she definitely needs to be in a bed then. My MIL had the same problem with my husband, he was escaping so he had to be put in a bed super young.

    Am I ever going to sleep again?

    @3angels Usually kids have an easier time on the crib and aren’t that ready for the independence of the bed yet at 2. We transitioned our oldest at two but in hindsight I would’ve kept her in a crib until 3. What time is bed time? What time is her nap? For how long does she nap for and how long...

    FTM — All my baby hand-me-downs clothes reek of toxic detergent and I can’t wash the smell out

    @polygonon Oh yeah seconding borax. It’s not something I use often, but if vinegar doesn’t work, borax is definitely worth a shot.

    FTM — All my baby hand-me-downs clothes reek of toxic detergent and I can’t wash the smell out

    @ch3apshad3s First of all, don’t mix baking soda and vinegar, they’re just going to neutralize each other haha What I’d do, is do a few cycles of soaking the clothes with just vinegar in warm water and adding 2 or 3 extra rinses on each cycle. If this doesn’t work, look into laundry stripping...
