    How do you wake up?

    @jespy We got a STUPID deal on daycare. Like it’s ridiculous how cheap it is (because I worked there for 10 years and the owner loves me and still asks me to come back, which isn’t happening for a very long time lol) but she made things happen for us. Offered part time, which they don’t do, and...

    How do you wake up?

    @ladel We tried the potty and my 1 year old is disgusting 🫠😂 I think behavioral is the approach, but he is extremely stubborn and we really struggle with enforcing anything. Eventually things click, but it takes MONTHS of reinforcement. That’s where we’re at now I think, just waiting on it to...

    How do you wake up?

    @adebayo1 He doesn’t nap anymore, which is when we started falling apart. He goes down around 8-830 (we start bedtime at 7-730 and can’t really manage any earlier, he just won’t take to any earlier) and sleeps to 6-730. Lately 545-6 most mornings. So 10 ish hours daily? He acts TIRED most days...

    Third child?!

    @dasj2011 BBG here! 3 was our last no matter what and it felt like a fitting final chapter ❤️

    How do you wake up?

    @adebayo1 What about not quite “middle” of the night, just early morning? I try letting him come to my bed and he just asks for 1000 things and tries to go through husbands nightstand. I eventually give up and get up with him

    How do you wake up?

    @chappen I leaned into it this morning (mindset it powerful). Removed the gate last night and the kids barreled in to wake us up (at 7 thankfully, bless the 6-7 hour of sleep). Older one had already pooped and tried to clean himself and came in to get himself cleaned up fully, and younger one...

    How do you wake up?

    Do you get up before your kids? Do your kids wake you up? I’m struggling hard with my 3 year old. He can bust child locks off now, which is what worked for a while. Then we had a baby gate, but he needs to use the potty in the mornings now (he’s just starting to ease into night training, and...

    Is 3 almost easier?

    @morgannicole555 It does get easier. And our age gap was a…choice lol. I think if they were 3 years apart things would be much easier. The hardest one is my 2 year old, because he’s still so needy while I also have the baby. Things are getting easier by the week though!

    Is 3 almost easier?

    @morgannicole555 3 is hard. Really hard. It’s loud and chaotic, and it’s really hard managing 3 when I’m one person. The world isn’t made for family’s of 5+ and things are inconvenient. Sometimes I daydream and imagine how simple it would be if I am hadn’t gone for #3… But. I wouldn’t change a...

    How long are your weight sessions?

    @imaff Probably 45 to an hour, sometimes longer. I changed my programming to something less intense so I had the option to run it quickly if needed (ABA set up) but now I’m struggling to workout long enough. I previously was doing a PHUL program 4 days a week but 4 days wasn’t working for me...

    How long are your weight sessions?

    @imaff Thank you! I definitely am still not up to my weights yet so that may be part of it. I probably should increase a little faster but I told myself I’d take it easier as I get back to where I was. I really should use a timer, I used to and my lifts improved tremendously when I gave ample...

    Van vs SUV vs minivan?

    @kathyparkar1 We have a 2023 suburban, base model, with 3 bench seats, so it seats 9. If I remember correctly it was only the base model with that option, and the vehicle was a custom order so it took a while to come (but that was during the shortage so hopefully things have improved)

    How long are your weight sessions?

    @craigbrickhill Yeah I get pretty tired and out of breath by the 30 minute mark so I wasn’t sure I could really do anymore, for now at least!

    How long are your weight sessions?

    @nazerbruhiljc I don’t really rest in between, and do a lot of super setting (for everything except deadlift). I like the intensity for sure! Thanks for sharing! I have dumbells and banda at home as well (I exclusively workout at home but we have a rack in the garage) and rely on those when I...

    What’s the best option for baby wearing after a c-section?

    @snoweh My Happy Baby didn’t bother me at all post csection, I just wore it higher than my scar (which is naturally comfortable anyways with a little baby, and I have a short torso)

    How long are your weight sessions?

    I had to take off some time during the IVF process, and the meds were kicking my butt anyway so I had already scaled back. Aside from horrible nausea, I’m able to get back to working out daily again (7 weeks). I’m running 4x a week and lifting 3x. I went back to a simpler template so I could...

    Car seat configuration 3-wide

    @rgw00 Ok this was all my line of thinking so it sounds like what I was thinking would work for some time!

    SAHPs who work out, how and when do you do it?

    @halo235689 I lift weights 3x a week, and walk for an hour as well on those days. And I run 3-4 times a week on the other days (for an hour). It’s shifted around a bit lately because of illness and the holidays, but that’s my basic routine. Disclaimer - I work out at home. I lift weights in...

    Car seat configuration 3-wide

    @sabstame That’s a good point I didn’t consider, buckling the middle seat before the infant seat is in its base. My oldest can and does climb into his seat himself, just can’t buckle himself (and I’d want to check it anyways). We will trying this if the other arrangement doesn’t work and I can...
