@karaka1 There are so many adults who don't even go to their own.

@trialsufferer1 100% but 18 months between pregnancies still puts are at a minimum of 27 months apart. They didn't even do that, which is standard medical advice. One SIL went into labor a week earlier than her scheduled c-section. She is a physician and majority of physicians we know have...

@trialsufferer1 I had failure to descend with my first and second was breech. So unplanned and planned C-section, respectively. How sure of you that all of it is related to the c-section itself? Personally, my longer immediate recovery with the delivery was with the long labor and pushing with...

@ashleywatkins Yep! And Shapiro for Gov. My Shapiro yard sign is on its way!

@yunus061 You have to be fking kidding me. Calling now. My GOP Senator is retiring. I hate that his possible replacement is a doctor who wouldn't support the AAP guidelines either.

@wrrydmom laleo.billingual.therapy on Instagram has some good tips and strategies. Also, she reframes the conversation in a way that is more accessible long term. I can't really comment on your specific situation since we're just hoping for comprehension. So we're okay with our son speaking...

@niqhtcore Yep. I am using my paid parental leave bridge the gap right now so I'm still full time. We planned the gap with the assumption our toddler would be in public preschool when the baby was between 4-9 months though. We'll find out this week if he gets a spot. The biggest thing is...

@niqhtcore Would you be working? I had mine 2.5 years apart and we have a part time nanny. Since I went back to work early and we took the older out of daycare. But at this age gap it's doable alone, imo. 2 under 2 would have been brutal but the option wasn't fully there since I have a c-section...

@houstonreborn I love my brother. We're close but his work schedule is far too busy to actually talk or get a lot of time with him. I definitely confide in my friends and spouse a lot more. He's probably number 10 or greater down my list. We also didn't get along in our teen years and that was...

@frank12 6 months is already pretty well into infancy. The critical time is under 2 months for full term babies.

@ckoel Are you tied to NJ? We're from NJ but in the rust belt (Western PA) now and everything is tons easier. My family back in NJ has such a hard time getting the therapy they need. Here in PA it's covered for everyone regardless of income by the state. Between that and better healthcare, we're...

@spiritlead2013 We're younger (33F/35M) and pregnant with our second but all those points apply for us. We're fencesitters for 3 kids though. 1) Our kids will be room sharing. We're going to try to coroom with the second a little longer but we'll see. Our toddler is a good sleeper but gets...

@sakura656 Oh wow. Yeah parent, classroom dynamic is difficult. I can understand why the other parents let it be. My SIL is dealing with it for her kindergartner.

@elvisrene10 No worries. Honestly, for me the RSV caseload is immaterial. Flu is in full swing too, FYI. You're on vacation. So you're not in complete control plus the pediatric ERs are full. Say your kid has an allergic reaction, will they be able to get proper care in this situation? Or they...

@envisiondavid Some of our Thristies Duos Size 1 were on the verge of going but then my son sized up. So I'll probably get the same time frame. I'll be replacing a couple with baby #2. I overbought Size 2 which reduced our washing frequency and we'll have fewer to replace.

@elvisrene10 I think the biggest issue is that Hawaii is it is isolated. I checked the children's hospitals out of curiosity when the RSV surge was starting and they have a decent amount. But I would hesitate (RSV or not) with the surge and the isolation. I might be overly cautious but I was...

@sakura656 You did everything right. I can't believe she started complaining to other parents. I would have been floored if I was a third party in that situation. Hopefully, I have enough sense to say I don't tolerate name-calling. But you did great. She doesn't sound stable.

@hktm16 We have the bandwidth. We were in a comfortable routine before we got married, then married and pregnant, and now with our toddler. Adding a second doesn't feel daunting and it feels welcomed. I don't think of us as overbearing parents but I don't think OAD is good for us. I personally...

@1stjohn0666 I used care.com but there's a local childcare connections Facebook group, which I would have started with if I had known about it earlier. A lot of people are looking to fill a couple hours here or there. Right now it's filled with students looking for something during winter break.

@1stjohn0666 That's similar to our situation! Our old nanny is a grad student so we're using her as a mother's helper for her last semester and then hopefully a summer nanny with our second on the way. Being in a college/university city has made it very easy to find extra help on a part time...
