@robaya I think it just depends on your schedule. My kids (now 3 and 4.5) have always gotten up early - like between 5-6) so usually when we “spring” forward”, we try to adjust everything an hour later, then they sleep 6-7am. It does suck for bedtime because now they are both in bed about...

Oh and Make some freezer meals on the weekend An 8x8 disposable pan holds half of any 9x16 “bake/casserole” recipe. So for one recipe, you can get 2 separate meals. And it’s enough for 2 adults and a toddler. Each 8x8 pan also fits in a gallon ziplock. Use a straw to suck out air and seal it...

@kgy0001 Instant pot goulash. Burrito bowls. Slow cooker lasagna and enchiladas

@sandraovercomer Yes! We just had to do that. We spent like $6700 My husband currently just paid off our stuff for the month and is fuming that we again have no savings.

@swatson Groceries are so expensive! I don’t think we’re at $1000. But maybe like $600/700 We have “scouted” stores in our area that are cheaper. We get a of staples from Walmart and another store that’s cash/debit only, which helps keep their costs down. Not my favorite stores but it...

@sunflower232 My husband and I do very well by a lot of standards. Our cars are paid off; we use credit cards for reward program and pay it off every month. We “loosely” budget but we don’t have to be super strict it. If we are actively saving for something specific, we’re good at it and we do...

@geranium When my daughter dropped her nap, bedtime was at 5:45/6pm and she’d sleep 6ish-6ish. She had always been an early riser so 6 was fine. We’d feed her then one of us would put her to bed and the other would make our dinner. She dropped it between 3-3.5 and it took about a month to...

@nessofonett05 With my oldest, I got up most of the time. With the second, we did it a bit differently. He was born in 2021 and we were both working from home. I went to bed at 7ish when my daughter did. And my husband stayed up til midnight-2am in the living room with the newborn. I took...

@nessofonett05 If he had sleep apnea, he should be tested. My husband did and felt 1000% more rested after getting a CPAP. I have 2 toddlers (20mo apart) and he goes to bed later than I’d do and as a result, he often gets up later than me and the kids (who are up between 5:45-6:15 most days)...

@pentzbar000 My kids are 20mo apart. My second was also born with a cleft lip and palate which has so far resulted in 2 surgeries before the age of 1. With several more down the road. Definitely hard at times but we love both of them more than life. Each stage has their own challenges That...

@randall1967 Not exactly the same. I worked for an agency in 2022 that I knew had part time positions. We had some changes in childcare and I asked about part time. They approved it but I had to sign a letter that agreed to a return to full time date as they really didn’t want anyone else to be...

@lesbian5eva I am a BCBA and have done this as many of my clients are in the evening (3-9pm, with 3-4hr sessions). I have complete control over my schedule within the clients session times. I switched to part time about a year ago due to issues with our nanny and daycare waitlists being full...

@max2800 My daughter went on a bottle strike at 7mo old. Our pediatrician told us that as long as we did 12-15oz a day In Conjunction with food, she’d be fine. At 10mo, I think that’s normal to have less formula but full meals

@sungwi I used to limit screen time. Not as much as I used to but still limited. When anyone in the house is sick, they have have as much as they want. If they seem to have some energy back and start playing, I turn it off until they fade. They don’t have any problem going back to “normal”...
