    Anyone else not “crave adult interaction”?

    @porven Yes and no. I have so much going on the thought of people coming over to my house for fun feels like anything but fun. My adult interaction that is just for me is going out for dinner and drinks with a couple of girlfriends and coming home to the kids asleep in bed. I can only manage...

    Are sleepovers at Grandparents normal for children 1 - 2 years old

    @joskenya I’m not American. And night training here is more about recognizing the signs and jumping in when ready.

    Are sleepovers at Grandparents normal for children 1 - 2 years old

    @joskenya I’m fine with them co sleeping. I’m just not sure how fine they are with it. Also night training. I feel like we just got the kids at each age ready for sleepovers and then it’s time for night toilet training.

    Are sleepovers at Grandparents normal for children 1 - 2 years old

    @courtneyatzn Nightly. My older son would come in every night sometime between 2 and 5am. My youngest now who is just turned 3 comes in between 12 and 2am every night. Also add in night training so that makes it trickier to just pass them over for a night at that stage. But yeah night waking is...

    Are sleepovers at Grandparents normal for children 1 - 2 years old

    @courtneyatzn That’s actually really normal. It just gets easier to manage. So 2 of my kids have always still woken during the night until about 2/3. It’s now just no longer a 30 minute resettle but instead a “sure babe come into bed with us.” Or “quick cuddle and then I’m back to bed ok.”.

    Are sleepovers at Grandparents normal for children 1 - 2 years old

    @jackstack We started once the kids slept through the night. So for some ours were more like 2. For our youngest it hasn’t happened yet (he’s 3). But that was more my condition about sleeping through as their bedroom was a good distance from where the kids would sleep and I’m not sure how keen...

    About to miscarry at 7 wks gestational age at home alone with a 2.5 yr old

    @chris_mil I’ve had 2 in the last 6 months that were around the 7 week mark. It felt like a really bad period for about an hour. The heavier parts that were being pushed out felt like contractions but only needed 1 - 3 of them the whole time. Bleeding was heavy for the first hour and died off...

    Contacting child when with other parent

    @memrin At that age my kids would get upset and would just be “different” after FaceTiming either parent. Could be fine one day and then an emotional wreck the next. I think back off. Ask for a photo and an update to come through instead at some stage of the stay. Just something super quick and...

    Bed sharing but I keep being told that babies sleep better in there own rooms by people who in my bumper group

    @huntinheros Why don’t you try it and see how you go. Sometimes they do just make resettling noises and they will go back to sleep on their own but because we hear them we start trying to help. You can always co sleep for part of the night or for day naps too. It doesn’t have to be all night...

    Love bedsharing, but my husband feels lonely and neglected

    @forgivenandloved Go a floor bed. Even if they wake and come looking for you. You will have to at some stage let them explore the homes boundaries. Which will mean they will tumble here and there and find something they shouldn’t - but watching them like a hawk to prevent any trips isn’t going...

    [Rant/Need Advice] I bought an Onbuhimo that was advertised as BNIB off the Facebook B/S/T group, and it REEKS of cigarette smoke

    @artofthecovenant Even if you could get the smell out would you really want it still? I’d start with contacting the seller and go from there. I have seen that Facebook group go hard on any seller who has been dodgy. I have even see the owners of happy baby chime in.

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @squanto Now it’s 5 nights for him and I get the rest. But for years he just had every other weekend. He’s the typical dad that’s has he wants to be there and I’m the one who holds him back….. but when time came he just wasn’t there for the kids and still is often absent. To start with the kid...

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @margrethe Yes divorce. I’ve done it and it was super scary. Part of me after we separated was thinking “was it that bad? Really” . Yes yes it was that bad. Now I’ve got a new husband and he does all those things you have just mentioned that your current husband doesn’t. My husband now actually...

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @sweetsocalbutterfly2019 So the biggest issue is the “fun money” bucket. If you aren’t working say because you are home caring for kids…. You also have no fun money. Should just be equal for both regardless of what you bring to the table. Of course there are situations where someone is...

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @sweetsocalbutterfly2019 Because you both still contribute to the household as equal partners Why would you penalize someone because they happen to have a lower paying job? What happens when you have kids and don’t work for a little while or drop to part time? Just because you earn less...

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @sweetsocalbutterfly2019 Everyone in a household puts their money towards the household. It’s not his and hers. Keep an equal amount separate for fun spending (what ever number is fine with the joint incomes). But everything else from bills, dinner dates, mortgage, saving for travel and holidays...

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @sheogorath87 I feel like any married relationship that divides money up this way is destined for divorce.

    Is my ex being reasonable with her demands of meeting anyone I’d have around our kids before they’d meet them?

    @athena1312138 So she is being unreasonable. It comes from a good place of concern for her kids. But it is unreasonable. My suggestion is to grey rock all if her insults and drama. And just start living your life. It’s insulting to you as their dad that you can’t make a safe choice for your...
