Thoughts on toy lending library? Do we think this would do well here? Was thinking of a simple subscription type of service ($30-40/month) and can pick up several different toys a month. Ideally the goal would be to limit waste and give families more room in their homes without so much accumulation. Was thinking gross motor, sensory, stem, and outdoor options. Thoughts on if you’d think would fly here

Hi there,
In search of a new suv. I do not want Hyundais or Kia as we’ve had bad experiences. Willing to pay a little more money for quality. Looking for mid sized suv (Toyota rav or ford escape size ish).
- minimum 5 seater
- tow @ least 2000lbs (we have a tent trailer)
- under $45,000 (Canada)
-reliable and solid make -would like to avoid cheaper made vehicles (GMC, dodge)
TIA
Ok looking for some advice/support and even just reassurance that this is normal. We have two girls, both within two years. One is 2.5 and the other is 6 months. We have no family support and have a farm to care for. My husband travels a couple times a month for work. The days are long and exhausting especially with a 6 month old that’s up every 2 hours at night.
I feel really irritable towards my husband. Just annoyed at almost everything he does. I feel ashamed for directing this towards him and I know it’s likely impacting my 2 year old. I want to do better but I can’t seem to shake the annoyance. He loves to clean which is a blessing, our house is always top notch. But the problem is it feels obsessive and I feel kind of like I have to be perfect in terms of cleanliness for his standards. I also feel like I don’t love his approach with our toddler. He seems to be a little too intense or not enough. It’s like he doesn’t know when to hold a boundary and when not to. I know I need to talk to him about it but he’s very sensitive and I know all of this will hurt his feelings.
Is this a thing? I cosleep with my 6 month old. She snuggles in c curl position and I love it. What I don’t love is she’s gotten extremely dependent off of my boob to self soothe. She wakes nearly hourly and insists on my boob. There’s no way she’s actually consuming much. I love the snuggles and want to keep that part going but I want her to actually sleep in my arms and not wiggle/scream for my boob when I don’t constantly give it to her. I’m not sleeping and I’m miserable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
