    We are water safety experts from the National Drowning Prevention Alliance! Ask us anything about keeping kids safe near water!

    @prepared4all Wondering what you guys think of this post from another sub on swimming. I had some concerns about the concept but I’m no expert. The founder of the company responded to my comment and I still didn’t feel better. https://www.reddit.com/r/Swimming/s/ORO61IuGtP

    Opinions from childless friends

    @christiangirl115 I have a sister like your friend, and another sister who usually gives advice coming from a super judgy, snotty, ignorant, obnoxiously childfree space. When I talk about ignoring comments from childfree people, it’s the second sister I have in mind. I should caveat it 😅

    Universal Childcare call to arms! -Mod Approved

    @isaac0 Yes. As I said in my original comment, I like the idea.

    Universal Childcare call to arms! -Mod Approved

    @isaac0 I was too. And I think it’s an agree to disagree on this. It was written as coming from a place of privilege where parents were able to afford childcare and had children who were healthy and able to go to daycare. The attitude hasn’t changed. One of my saddest memories from during the...

    How many kids after 35 have you had ?

    @sandpapermartyr Had my first at 37 after years of trying and recurrent pregnancy loss. Just turned 40 and we are likely OAD bc a second hasn’t happened yet. That said, my best friend just had her second at 43 so you never know.

    Universal Childcare call to arms! -Mod Approved

    @isaac0 Go check out the sub. If you’re in a position where you have to work from home while also balancing caring for your child, then r/workingmoms is not for you. Doesn’t meet their definition of a working mom.

    Universal Childcare call to arms! -Mod Approved

    @jimbobby2021 I literally said I like the idea. I didn’t say people shouldn’t join it. No gatekeeping. Seems I struck a nerve with you though.

    Universal Childcare call to arms! -Mod Approved

    @brendawwentz I like the idea but wow what a toxic sub leading the charge. How will they find enough people to band together when they’re known for their extensive gatekeeping?

    Blended family, would adding one more be too much?

    @kerrylog While that’s really sweet, I can see how that wouldn’t help you make a decision.

    Blended family, would adding one more be too much?

    @kerrylog What does your partner think about adding another? And your reasoning for it?

    Originally OAD but now unexpectedly pregnant with second parter. Looking for thoughts/advice

    @cescalouise Well whatever you decide, I’ll be sending good thoughts for you! Hopefully the other comments have better advice on the actual “should I have another” part. Good luck going forward! Also, I’m 38 too and we’re still trying for our second (first is 15 months and it took years to get...

    Originally OAD but now unexpectedly pregnant with second parter. Looking for thoughts/advice

    @cescalouise No experience as a parent exactly but wanted to share my experience as someone with two younger siblings 9 and 11 years younger. I was so thrilled to have younger siblings. Once they got back to be toddlers, I had excuses to play with all my old toys with them again. Halloween was...

    Babyzen Yoyo with a newborn bassinet as the only stroller?

    @johnnow The Yoyo is a freaking tank while also being incredibly light and portable. You can literally use the shoulder strap and it’s lighter than my mom’s mega purse. We put MILES on that thing while living in the middle of a city in Southeast Asia. Streets were rough, we didn’t have a car...

    Should I have another?

    @katie_hannah Have you checked out the sub r/twoandthrough for comments? It’s not a super active sub but I found it helpful when fencesitting. I agree with the other comment- sounds like you guys are really wanting another and you’re just feeling scared which is totally normal. I’m one of four...

    Suggestions for strollers for tall parents!

    @jarno We have a BOB running stroller, the one with the adjustable handle. It’s a bit bulky for an every day stroller, but if you have the room then 10/10 recommend. I’m 6’ and the rest of my family is taller than me and they all love it. Including my 6’6 brother. For a smaller footprint (like...

    Can’t decide if I want another

    @brokertom Info- have you done the research on adoption, and specifically infant adoption if that’s what you (or your husband, since you said he wants a baby) want, for your country? In the US, it can take tens of thousands of dollars, years of waiting, and having the biological mom change...

    Is it madness to have another baby at 42-43?

    @johnl1153 My good friend is pregnant w her second at 43, had her first at 40. I had my first at 37, now 40 next month and trying for a second.

    Here's a laugh! Apparently my 8 month old is a "typical only child"

    @4evrhis Pro tip: dress your son in pink so strangers can gush over what a precious baby girl you have. Then you can get them really worked up by saying thanks, it’s a boy 😂

    Weight gain

    @dogwoodtree Metabolism doesn’t actually slow and have the big impact people think it does. You could have some blood work done, just to rule out any underlying medical condition, but it’s also just as likely to be diet-related. Good luck!
