    How did you know you were ready to send you kid to preschool if they didn’t HAVE to go?

    @elinternational We sent him at 2.5 when our daughter was 4 months. 2 half days a week. He is very high energy and loves to play and I needed a break haha. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing answer. I love being home with him but I’m a better mom when I get a break. We still have plentyyy...

We really thought we’d pick the farther option until we actually drove there haha. it’s so nice when you are rushing to only be 5 min away. The longer days are a bonus too.

    Nonstop Begging

    @salimpu Do you acknowledge his feelings and give him a future yes? Mine tend to beg for cookies and popsicles. “I know! Popsicles are so yummy! I wish we could have one now too but we need to wait until dinner! What flavor do you think you’ll pick?”

    I wish my husband hated his job so he would like us more

    @sophie0813 How is your husband’s relationship to his parents? How were they growing up? I know certain things from our childhood trigger both of us and we’re both in therapy which seems to be helping. We’ve also been together a while…17 years. It’s weird to go from basically children (15) to...
