@olaitan We have 2 SUVs with the captains chairs in the second row and bench 3rd row. Honestly, I wish I would have gone bigger. My kids are a little older and there’s always friends and sports gear and Costco hauls. If I could redo, I’d go for the Expedition Max or similar sized. We have no car...

@effervescenteye I did 10 hours with a 3 month old, every 2 hours you need to take them out, change, feed, and stretch. So that 10 hours easily becomes more like 13-14. I dreaded the drive back so much because it was awful, would absolutely not do it again. I would either ask people to come to...

@hisman Lurking step mom that has been through this scenario with my husband and step son, I cannot stress enough how helpful getting kids into a therapist that has play or art therapy approach was. My SS was 5 when it first became apparent his mom couldn’t parent him and he had a lot of big...

@jerib She should have called. They’re being petty. What DH should do is communicate NOW what he will and won’t be reaching out to them on. Birthday invites? Holiday plans? Invites to hang out? How often you’ll send a picture or update? Draw your boundaries. If they want something beyond that...

@infomommax We have 4 kids (3 bio, 1 step). Our biggest issue is we have kids at 3 different schools, sports are all at different times, and it’s just hard to get everyone to the right place at the right time. Financially we make it work fine, time with the kids ends up working out (in shifts)...

@becky_jewel I feel this. We purposely planned for a May baby the second time around so we could walk at night. I use to go walk rounds with the stroller in the mall with my oldest (a January baby).

@becky_jewel Outside time worked best for us. Go take a stroller walk or baby wear and walk once this starts.

@linktogunner My 3.5 boy has never had a haircut. He has BEAUTIFUL curly hair that’s about shoulder length. Typically I put it in a ponytail or braid. He looks all boy, is built like a tank, and people still call him a girl. I just think it makes them look silly. I always just say something...

@mike12912 Chelsea boots in fall winter, Birkenstocks, Vans, or Adidas Superstars in the spring/summer. I still do black or nude heels for the office.

@linley Keep in mind milestones are just an average. You’ll have some babies doing it at 4 weeks and some doing it at 7-8 weeks. All three of my kids were probably closer to 6-7 weeks. Smile comes first, laugh is definitely later.

@alf This. Sometimes outside time or a bath can help. It’s normal but it will get better.

@byhimforhim Mom of 4 here, this is NORMAL. You aren’t doing anything wrong at all. 2.5 hour stretch is totally normal. You get a little bit better with knowing cries and anticipating needs with subsequent kids, but what they don’t tell you is most of kid’s ability to sleep and how well you...
