@balancedworld For me it’s not necessarily them doing certain things (mine are only 5 months), it’s just double the love and joy to have two babies at once. Compared to my experience with my singleton, who, don’t get me wrong is the absolutely light of my life, there is just something...

@balancedworld Are these your only children? I think a lot of what you’re describing, especially by the time the children are toddlers, is just the reality of having more than one child, multiples or not. Any child with a sibling gets split attention sometimes, doesn’t get their needs...

@komdiarect I didn’t get the option of a choice until 35 weeks when my babies both flipped head down (prior to that they were both breech). I had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery with my older singleton and my OB told me I was a good candidate for a vaginal delivery because I had a “proven”...

@duke845 This is great! I’ve also thought there should be a weekly thread for folks coming back to work from leave who need tips/pep talks because we seem to get 5-10 posts like that a week.

@mickaela My kid was an early riser for most of her life and has just started regularly sleeping past 6am recently at 2.5. A few things stand out to me: 1) 6:15 is a really early bedtime. I know you said you’ve tried pushing it back, but have you tried consistently, every single night, for...

@stephen68 Do you have an HR department? Email them and CC your boss and include the other dates you reached out. Also have you tried calling?

@minknency I’m sorry you’re in this situation. It really sucks and it’s not fair to you or the participants in your program. Unfortunately, if M’s boss is unwilling to manage them, your hands are tied. Since you’re not M’s manager, you don’t have any power to coach them or change their...

@goldensleather Seems pretty clear that the current set up is not working for you and is working great for him. He has no motivation whatsoever to change things. I hate the idea of ultimatums in marriage but it seems like the only way to get him incentivized to make a change. Seems like the...

@kaiti We eat dinner very early, around 5:30. I prep things in advance and only make very quick recipes during the week so it takes me about 30 mins to get dinner on the table. If it took me 90 minutes every night I’d lose my mind. Then, put your kids to bed first and then deal with the...

@coolguy123 I’m going to give you some contradictory advice which is to: relish the good advice you’re getting in this thread on this forum and also GET OFF this forum and don’t look at it until you’re much farther along in your pregnancy. Like many others here, I had the exact feelings you’re...

@albert123 I watched TONS of TV as a kid and my kid (2.5) now loves TV and watches a bunch of it on weekends. I’m not at all worried about it and I feel zero guilt. She only watches it on the actual TV - no YouTube, no iPad. The shows she likes are relatively “slow” - Bluey, Peppa Pig, The...
