Happy New Year everyone. Checking in to see where we are during yet another surge. So far, my 3 year old is home due to a positive case in his class last week. We’re waiting for his PCR results to be able to send him back later this week (at home was negative). Kindergartener is back in school, but we’ll see how long that lasts. It almost feels like we are back in March 2020, except now we’re just anticipating more quarantines and dreading it.
On the bright side, my kids have been playing well together lately (still many many instances of screaming, but I’ve been able to leave them alone for 30 minutes at a time, which is an improvement). They’ve been loving the nugget they got for Christmas. I think it will get a lot of use over the next few months.
Sleep hygiene and babies. Did anyone just kind of go with the flow and it all worked out? I’ve been focusing so much on wake windows and sleepy cues and white noise and all that for my 10 week old, and I’m starting to feel like it’s a bit much. Baby still fights naps and wakes up twice a night to eat. My mother has never heard of such things and was baffled that I don’t just put baby down when she seems tired and baby falls asleep. Has anyone just kind of ignored the TCB-style advice and ended up with older kids that still slept anyway? I’m tired of scheduling my life around wake windows, but I’m also worried I’ll be setting us up for years of sleepless nights if I don’t!
Someone please scare / motivate me into making the most of my last few weeks before maternity leave. I started a new role on a new internal team last fall, so a number of projects were on hold until 2022 started…and my projects are on hold until I get back from maternity leave. What I do is at the mercy of strategic planning sessions happening later this month, after I’m out. So there’s little to get ahead on. But I want to show I’m a rockstar employee and they shouldn’t regret hiring an expecting mom. But I’m so tired.
Any tips for getting out the door in the morning with a 2.5 year old? We were doing well for a while, but now that we have to put his coat on him, it’s a huge fight. I also think he’d prefer to sleep in more in the morning, so he is grumpy from waking up too early (we put him down between 7:30-8 and wake him up at 8 am). My husband is especially stressed about the morning fights because he feels like that’s the only time he spends with our son during the week and it’s really negative.
Any ideas for a road trip in April? I’d like to plan a trip for my kids’ April break where we fly somewhere warmer (live in New England, so not a high bar) and do a road trip to see and experience fun, outdoor stuff. We did Tucson to Sedona and Grand Canyon several years ago. I’m thinking of a similar road trip in New Mexico. Any ideas or suggestions? (My plan is to pay a bit more so that it is all refundable, in case we need to cancel for any reason, including covid.)
Winter vacation ideas needed!
Pandemic permitting, my family (me, DH, two kids <5) want to go somewhere with snow next month. We'd be flying from FL and are hoping for a place within an hour or two of a major airport. We don't ski, but want to take advantage of other wintery fun. Ideas?
Our son has lost his mittens, of course. Recommendations for a 5 YO for waterproof mittens to play in the snow?
I’m just so angry and defeated that, 2 years into this, I’m a finalist for a really cool job that would require me to be in-person 5 days a week and I’m not sure I can take it. In-person is the norm for my field, but fortunately, I’ve been in person about 50% a week the past 2 years but have had flexibility. My husband has been in person 5 days a week the entire time.
I hate that I’m worried I can’t take it because I have a preschooler and the childcare I pay $2K a month for is not reliable. It just shouldn’t be this way in 2022. I know I should stay in the job with flexibility but I’m so, so, so burned out (It’s heavily involved in the c0vid response) and I just can’t.
Employers don’t seem to understand that there are literally zero options if your kid is quarantined. You can’t get a sitter, that’s the whole point! Your kid can’t be around people!!
What are some of your favorite NE winter clothes to keep kiddos warm outside in the winter? I am refusing to spend every weekend at home, but with more 30 degree days I want to buy some warmer clothes for them! We do UGGs and North Face Mossbud Jackets for my 9 year old, but I am wondering if there’s a better jacket and a bit lost in how to dress my 3.5 year old toddler more warmly
I am struggling to understand if I am experiencing PPD/PPA or if parenting is just hard! My son is 15 months old, and I know that I definitely had some PPD after he was born. It felt like it went away on its own around 3-4 months but sometimes I feel it may be cropping up, but also life is just hard and tiring.
My “trigger” has always been sleep and when my son isn’t sleeping well or his schedule is off it’s almost like I take it so personally and can hardly think of anything else. This is likely because I’m tired but is this normal?? I feel like the only times I am truly happy are when things are “working” the way I want them to. Like he is sleeping and eating well and we have fun together. I don’t think it’s fair to put this much pressure on myself or him. I know he is only human and won’t always have a good day. Is this normal? How do people cope with the bad days/nights?
What was the best wedding anniversary present you ever gave or received? We have our third anniversary coming up and I am at a total loss. We like good food and booze, but going out is just … not fun these days.
Suggestions for apps for a 4 year old that are educational? Especially for learning letters…we can’t seem to get her to figure out the difference between an E and an F or an I and a T :(
Any ideas for what to get as a show of remote support to a family whose child is undergoing life-saving surgery?
Can I/should I put a baby gate in DD’s doorway so she stays in her room at bedtime? I’m thinking hardcore CIO for a 3.5 year old who “hates sleep” as she has declared as of late. Bedtime routine is down cold, and the second she lays down – nope. Turns the light back on and runs out of her room. Straight up refuses to stay in there. No amount of negotiating, loving on her, yelling, calm talking, ignoring, moving bedtimes, or tough love gets this girl to stay in her da m n bed. Maybe she does actually hate sleep… she’s so stubborn and I think taking a hardline may need to happen next. Pls send help and vodka.
