@torn12 Nursing tops all kind of suck anyway. Either they function nicely and look like trash, or they look nice and are a bitch to use. I found a nursing tank I liked and just wore regular shirts/sweaters over those. Then I’d just take the sweater off and nurse or pump with just the tank on. If...

@anonymous9299 We generally have 1 activity for our 3 year old. At one point it was swim lessons (for safety and also for fun). Right now it’s gymnastics because he was just so cautious at the playground and I wanted him to be able to take risks with his body in an environment that maybe felt...

@streetlight I like LunchBots for their bento style but lightweight boxes. Ours has 4 compartments and I just fill each of them with protein, dairy/starch, fruit, vegetable for my 3 year old. His daycare doesn’t refrigerate their lunches so we’re in a similar situation. Example of what we use a...

@kmar123 Same. My parents put my brothers in sports and me in dance. I liked dance a lot but have always felt a little ripped off that I never experienced team sports or built friendships that way. My mom’s reasoning was that I never asked. Obviously I knew about the existence of sports from my...
