@renette Yeah I’m on the pill and it sucks :( can’t wait to be off it!

@renette If it’s still a “no” from us by the time our daughter turns 4 (she’s 2.5) then we will consider the decision final and my husband will get a vasectomy.

@benzohar Sign up for Dr. Becky’s Good Inside membership and do the tantrum workshop and sleep workshop. Life changing for me! ETA: my daughter didn’t respond well to sleep training either. The sleep workshop isn’t for sleep training but gives you tips to improve sleep. My 2.5 year old is...

@katrina2017 Yes that’s a great way to explain the feeling. I wanted my first so badly I would have done anything. I definitely don’t feel that same desire. More fears than anything!
