    @robert777 Yeah this doesn’t work for me either. I need to make sure she’s pretty much out when I put her down.

    Tipping Daycare Teachers

    @johnsubira $50 sounds like more than you need to. I think you can easily keep it to $20 or even $15. But if $50 is easily affordable for you, then go for it. I know they would appreciate it.

    I don’t like my daughter’s friend. And they’re 7

    @olly91 Personally if the kid was saying stuff like, “ my house is bigger,” etc and I was there, I’d probably respond, “that’s not important to us.” It’s blunt and gets the point across. It may be a little rude(but I don’t care), but it’s not actually mean. And if she tries to cross boundaries...

    I caught my 13 year old boy calling a little girl a “b***h”

    @georgiana You need to sit down with him when you are calm and have a conversation about respecting women whether they like you back or not and how to handle rejection and that is everyones right to reject another person's romantic interest for any reason. And that doesn't mean its personal, or...

    SlEeP NoW bEfOrE tHe BaBy gEtS hErE

    @pinkflower I don't know why people say this. 1) It's not like anyone wouldn't sleep as much as they can if they could. 2) It's not like you can store up enough sleep before the baby to make you not tired when the baby is here. That's not really how sleep works, lol. I actually feel really...

    “You’re so lucky you can afford to stay home”

    @merekas Yeah, I live in Los Angeles and daycares here are expensive (as well as everything else). Luckily my husband makes enough to support us all but almost my whole paycheck would be the cost of a daycare so it doesn’t make sense. Plus I always wanted to be a SAHM for at least the first...

    Struggling and maybe regretting SAHP decision??

    @ahead I don’t have advice I just wanted to say I get it. I used to nanny and work in childcare and was into the whole RIE, gentle parenting, Montessori methods. And I used them as a nanny. But I feel like it’s SO much harder as a mom. I find myself losing my temper way more and the idea of...

    If you have 1 SAHP and 1 Parent working full time…

    @akdamar So when he's home from work then parenting should be split 50/50. So in the morning before he goes to you work you should both get time to take a shower and get ready and alternate between who's on. Same with in the evening. I also ask my husband to do a daddy daughter date with our...

    He changed his mind and I cried myself to sleep just to wake up more upset

    @charlyrich I feel ya lady. A couple years ago my husband and I were actually trying and then he pulled the rug out from under me during month 3 that he didn't want to continue trying (marital issues). It was hard and painful. I cried a lot and was upset too. The only thing that made me feel...

    Is what I am doing when I am sick wrong? My wife seems to think so

    @disguisedlamb That’s what I do too. I limit screen time (1-2 hours normally) but if I’m sick or we’re traveling then it’s unlimited screen time cause it’s all about survival and getting through the day. You deserve and need time to rest when you’re sick. Though I do recommend trying to turn off...

    Sick of everyone trying to buy baby shoes

    @marystokesq People got my baby shoes when she can’t even walk yet. I’m with you on no shoes to help their feet develop unrestricted. So I just display the shoes on a shelf like decorations because they’re pretty cute.

    Make your dental appointments

    @p8089 I really really need to but I have to wait for November when there’s open enrollment on my health insurance so I can add a dental plan because I’m sure I’ll need a lot of work done too.

    COVID-19 and Why I'm Waiting

    @ajay24 I've never saved a post before, but I'm saving this one so I can keep all that information. Thanks for sharing it. I personally would like to wait a little while longer due to the pandemic. But I have no idea how long it will last. If it's just till spring that's doable. But what if it...

    When do you have appointments for yourself??

    @barry61 1) Husband needs to take time off to help watch kids. He can even say it's an appointment for him to get time off. 2) Hire a sitter. I totally get it, I've been avoiding the dentist cause it's hard to find time. But I really really need to go.

    Would You Rather: House Addition

    @kimrossie I'd be super tempted with option A as well cause I LOVE walkable places and location is so important to me. But B seems like a safer bet and less work. Do you really want to live in a construction zone for a long time? Would you even be able to still live there while they added a...

    Would You Rather: House Addition

    @kimrossie I think if you truly want more kids you have to chose B. And you said B was still a safe area with good schools. That's the most important part. And a 6 minute drive isn't much. I know being in a walkable area is ideal. And if you were only going to stick with 1 kid I'd probably...
