@3007 Just turned 4. Still waiting for it to get better. I thought I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but her behavior has been wild this week.

@ztalbott We always wanted 2, but here's some positives about just having two/cons of having 3! More resources to give to each of your children. This is actually our big reason we're not having 3. With 2, we can put them in extracurriculars and travel more frequently. If we had a 3rd, we would...

@ahead I also have a 1 and 3 year old. For us, going out is SO much easier than staying in, especially when the weather is colder. We go to library storytimes, McDonald’s play places, play dates at friends house, the children’s museum, and we check out tickets to other museums from the library...

@pr0cessa Yes, this is financial abuse and leaves you in an extremely vulnerable position and helps to trap you in the relationship. It is controlling and downright dangerous for you to be unable to spend a few dollars here and there without having to wait for him to mail you money. What if...

@kimrossie House B. Driving isn’t a huge deal, honestly, and it sounds like your friends aren’t far anyway. Plus, you’ll make new friends in the new neighborhood and where you live isn’t the end all be all of who you can be friends with. Real friends will make the effort to drive, especially if...

@kievonn My 3.5 year old has been begging for a pedal bike (no training wheels) since a couple of months after her birthday. She’s been absolutely obsessed with her balance bike since she turned 3 in May. Besides that, she loves dress up, imaginary play (like playhouse with figurines type...

@merekas I also relate to this. I live in a HCOL area. Daycare is super competitive to get into an expensive. I have 2 toddlers. Daycare would cost more than what I'd earn. Financially, it doesn't make sense for me to not be a SAHM. I also prefer it and it's what I always wanted to do. My...

@toolenduso My first was a pandemic baby, so my husband was WFH for the first 6 months. And then sent back to the office, and then sent back to WFH during the delta spike and stayed that way for a long time. Then he was on a hybrid schedule until just after our older daughter turned 3. During...

@josho Yes, you’re being financially abused. He lied to you by omission when he didn’t tell you about his debt. You should have equal access to all accounts and shouldn’t need to ask to spend small amounts of money here and there. It is dangerous for you not to have ready access to accounts...

@elinternational We’ll be sending my older daughter in the fall when she’s almost 3.5. Just 2 or 3 mornings per week. I’m a stay at home mom with a masters degree in elementary education. I can take care of any academic kindergarten prep without a problem. But what I can’t give her is...

@disguisedlamb When you’re sick it’s survival mode. All the screentime. Do whatever you can to make it through the day. If she doesn’t like it, then she needs to take a sick day so she can stay home while you rest.

@capriccio Library storytimes. Also a lot of libraries allow you to check out tickets for free to local museums and zoos (our library system calls them “culture passes”. We check them out through the library website.). Also where we are, you don’t need to live in the same county as the library...

@melindapurcell Don't delete this. You're right. Liking your job and your family aren't mutually exclusive. Him hating his job likely would not fix this situation. There is something deeper going on here and OP needs to seek out relationship counseling to get to the bottom of it. I'm a SAHM...

@mikehu Safe? Sure. Just have to be aware of choking hazards. Will they keep it on? Probably not. But, my 22 month old is always stealing big sister's Minnie Mouse ears and wearing them around the house and has been doing so for months.
