@antnf8900 This is something I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about over the past 4 years of my SAHP journey. Here's a few of my thoughts. - It's okay to enjoy the simple things. Consumerism and social media has taught us that new is better. New is not always better. If you spend your...

@pr0cessa Yup, it is. Perhaps he's trying to hide financial information for some reason. Perhaps it is a form of control. Or perhaps it's just laziness and he doesn't want to go through the steps to make it happen. But it's weird. For a SAHP dynamic to work, there needs to be teamwork and...

@ahead I have a 1 and 4 year old. Being at home is hard in a different way than going out. There aren't many things that both of my kids will happily do together, but the few I have discovered are... Musical instruments. We bought a box of little kid instruments and they both enjoy banging on...

@joegibson A few things in our rotation that I didn't see listed: Pinwheels: tortilla, mayo, ham or turkey, and lettuce rolled and then sliced. My 3 year old assembles them herself. Pizza bread: bread with sauce, cheese, pepperoni or whatever pizza toppings your kid likes, sprinkles garlic...

@manishk012 Do you have Magnetiles? We bought those during my pregnancy with kid #2 and they have consistently been a favorite for 6+ months now.

@kimrossie We are days away from getting keys to our new house, so I am thoroughly acquainted with this song and dance. We were torn between 2 houses, both had pros and cons. After lots of debate, we went for house B. We lost it to a higher bidder and I'm very glad we did. Because 2 weeks later...

@barry61 Kids over 2 years come to checkup appointments with me (unless it's invasive or majorly important). Things like dentist cleanings and eye doctor appointments, they tag along and I shamelessly give them Bluey on my phone. In some ways, it's great because they get to learn about going to...

@ajewelinhiscrown OP, I remember you from your previous posts. It's not supposed to be this hard. You shouldn't have to do everything and remember everything all on your own. This is supposed to be a partnership. You should be able to rely on your spouse and not worry that she'll have an...
