    i don’t wanna pump anymore

    @brandon_d You don't have to pump! Personally for me it was way better for my supply to just directly nurse. With my current baby I didn't pump until 4 months pp. Also hats off to you for doing it all by yourself. Wishing you an easy baby!

    Just found out husband of nearly 7 years has had an affair - we have a 3.5y/o and a 17m/o

    @renegadelegion I found out my first husband had cheated on me while I was pregnant. We went to counseling and ultimately it didn't work out for us. Basically my ex refused to work on himself.. so we split when my kids were 1 and 3. It was the best decision ever honestly and I'm glad we split...

    How do I tell my husband to have a little more empathy for me as a sahm?

    @cliffco Stop doing his laundry. Your not his maid. My husband works endless hours, and he still finds time to do his laundry. If I am able to I fold it for him, I do. But never has it been an expectation that I will wash it

    Can’t have a third kid :( please remind me why it’s ok?

    @ztalbott I come from a large family, 6 kids. Out of all of them I am close to one. I am the oldest and even though my parents tried to give us all attention, none of us except the baby seemed to get that more "individual " attention. With so many kids it was impossible for my mom to attend all...

    How to avoid jealousy?

    @chux7 To answer how to avoid jealousy, I try to focus on gratitude, AND I ask for help from him when I need it. I also know that even though the stress isn't the same, my husband still has the stress knowing he's our sole provider. I am sure that's in the back of every working parents head that...

    How many of you have asked your 18 year old to move out?

    @garberse I can't fathom how an 18 year old would be financially independent enough to be able to afford to move out nowadays. My 20 year old is still in college and lives at home. When she gets a job out of college, and is making enough to afford to move out, then I will reevaluate her living...

    Did anyone start Preschool at 4 instead of 3?

    @afolabi1024 I did. IMO... and experience after working in schools/preschools/daycare... anything before age 4 is daycare, not "school". At 4 my child went three days a week for 2.5 hours a day. The school was ran like a condensed kindergarten classroom and focused on things that kids would do...

    Am I overreacting to my non-mom friends saying “just pump!” ?

    @ckatiejo Personally I wouldn't hang out prior...I'd just meet em at 4 or at the concert. It's not worth the hassle and people with out kids don't understand

    Am I the only one who doesn’t sign my girls up for dance classes/extra curricular activities?

    @anonymous9299 My daughter is now 19 and she started dancing when she was 3. I signed her up bc I wanted an activity for her to do, and when I suggested it she was all for it. From a motor learning stand point it's a great activity for children. But so are many other sports/activities. The dance...

    Antibiotics

    @euxene Did you try the over the counter earache drops? I'm not sure the age you can use them, but recently I was sick and my ear hurt and it helped the pain immediately and I didn't have any more issues with my ear after

    Antibiotics

    @euxene I'll be honest... we are a non vax household but when it comes to ear infections and strep I have zero problems with giving my kids antibiotics. Both infections can get worse quickly, and they are extremely painful. I am not going to watch my kids suffer. There's a huge difference...
