We’re expecting our second child in January and trying to figure out reasonable cut-off dates for my husband’s work travel pre-baby, and then resuming travel post-baby. It was a non-issue b/c our first child was born in fall 2020 so all work travel was still Covid-suspended.
For context, I’m 42 and am “high risk” only because we did IVF (for both children) but have had two uneventful pregnancies. I was induced at 40+1 for the first and had an otherwise unmedicated V delivery (so, pitocin but no epidural). Hoping for the same this time around (minus the induction if possible).
We’re thinking 4 weeks prior and 4-6 weeks post. Thoughts?
Can we do a twin tips post? I feel like I’ve gotten some good feedback on here lately from moms who have been through it. Mine are 21 months and I’m struggling: the fighting, the boundary testing, the not sleeping, the older sibling getting ignored because a twin needs me 24/7. I know it’s all normal it’s just A LOT. What we need is more help so I’m working on that. Any advice is appreciated.
My 12-year-old is going on his first international trip in January. He’s pretty freaked out by the idea of a long flight, tbh. What comfort items would you suggest? I’m thinking he needs a travel pillow for sure. We already have a plethora of devices and headphones.
i know this has been discussed before, but how do you handle not over scheduling your kids, when they ask to do an activity and budget and schedule allows? i have 4 year old twins, right now they do swimming and ballet during the week and soccer on saturdays, one also does OT during the week. they are in school 9-2 and otherwise with our nanny, the ballet is done at their school right after school, and the swimming is one afternoon. now they have asked to do gymnastics. i can’t decide if 4 activities a week is absurd or i might as well let them try it
FYI I have a lot of things from Quince that I love, but the reason why they have so many reviews is that they force you to review every purchase, even if you return it. It’s really easy to just click through with 5 stars because if you give less, you have to write a comment.
I can’t play chess and neither can my husband (well, we know basic rules ever since buying No Stress Chess). I’d like to help my kids get better since they’re both pretty into it. Any good resources? A book? An app? We’ve been enjoying no stress chess! (Kids are 6 and 8)
Gift reccs needed for my perfect, wonderful 4y/o niece! She & her family live in the Pacific Northwest, have a family cat. She speaks Spanish & English and is very bright and active. Parents love to cook and travel with her (Barcelona this year–lucky girl!). Unfortunately I live on the East Coast so only see her about 1xyear at most so not sure what she plays with most. I’d love any book or toy suggestions. Dollar limit $50-75.
Does anyone have recommendations for kids’ gloves with some type of grip on them? We live in a warm climate, but my kid refuses to play on the playground when it’s below, like, 60 degrees because the metal bars are cold. These will probably be used a few times and lost, so nothing too expensive.
Potty training advice please! We tried the 3-day no pants ordeal about a month before our son turned 3, and it was a disaster. For the last three months, we’ve been doing pull ups and sitting him on the potty a few times a day, and they sit him on the potty at daycare too, but he never actually goes on it. He loves reading books about the potty and seems to understand how it works, but we need to connect that to the physical experience of going, which we haven’t been able to do yet. Now we’d like to do the full training again, but we’re a little scared. Any advice for the second round?
What kind of socks do your kids wear in winter? The thin cotton socks my kids are currently wearing seem inadequate for the mid-Atlantic.
