@eian11 You’re welcome! I’m no expert but if I hope this helps 🤗

@eian11 Yup. If they’re doing something you don’t like you sternly say “stop dancing in your chair” if they do it again you say “I’m going to count to three, if you do not stop dancing in your chair you will go sit in time out. 1….2…” And if they don’t stop, it’s off to timeout. And I do try to...

@eian11 For us it’s one strike and you’re out. If I count to three and they don’t correct the behavior or do what I asked then they get a time out. They get one chance. When it comes to taking away something we planned, we’ve been lucky that it hasn’t been something they both would miss. They’re...

@eian11 Solidarity sis. My boys are 6 and 4 and we definitely went through this phase (4yo is still at the tail end of it). The constant push back. Feeling like you’re being mocked by your children. It’s awful. You’ve gotten some good advice already so I’ll just add in some things that worked...

@agilefeet A very close family member’s 120lb dog nipped my (then) 2 year old in the face a few years back (no broken skin, just a red scratch). The dog was sleeping and my child startled him. We didn’t flip out, we’re dog owners and understand that these things can happen and the family...

@kidkaos2 Congrats!

@treetreetop I’m a SAHM and sent both of my older kids to preschool starting around 3yo. 3 half days. It was so great for them, mainly socially but also academically. My oldest started kindergarten this year and he was more than prepared and transitioned so easily (5 full days). I would say keep...

@pzero39 This is it!!!!! Every year for Mother’s Day I go outside and plant all my outdoor flowers and herbs. It’s been my tradition for the past 6 years! My older two kids run around and help out here and there and this year I have a 7 month old who I’ll put outside in her activity seat under...

@mariomarco Exactly this! Friends have given my husband a hard time for not “doing more” with our newborn. My older kids are 6 and 4 and he’s so incredible with them. Those three do everything together. Anytime I need some quiet time in the house he takes the boys out to do something fun. But...

@mariomarco lol are you me?! This is the same in my house. 3 kids, all EBF. I handled all the nighttime wakes/feedings. My husband wakes up at 5:15am to work 10 hour days, 5 days a week, plus 5 hours Saturday mornings. There would be no point in waking him up since they just wanted me and the...

@mary7 I apologize if I came off harsh, however your original post had me a bit concerned. You were asking for advice and I didn’t give it so for that I am sorry. I know being a FTM is scary, it’s a learning experience for mom AND baby. I’ve had three kids, however I never bottle fed, all three...

@mary7 You cannot overfeed a baby. If she’s crying, has a bottle and then is content, that means she was hungry. Stop counting ounces and feed your baby when she shows you signs that she’s hungry!!!!
