My son is 16 months old now. He slept in a bedside bassinet til about 7 months next to me. Then he slept about another 2 months in a crib in our room. Then he moved into his own room

From the time of his birth until now, I never have had a themed nursery for him. His room now is still his crib (da Vinci brand) with a naturoedic mattress because I wanted him to have a quality mattress. He has a wooden chest of drawers and an area rug. He obviously has toys and books but sometimes we play in his room and other times around other areas of the house. I don’t have a single piece of artwork for him in his room and no theme at all. I feel kind of bad seeing these rooms on social media. Or even my coworker telling me about the nursery they’re setting up - wall paper, painting the wall, the theme, etc

It makes me feel like a dead beat parent and idk why. I am pretty minimalist in nature and we spend money on our son in a lot of ways I think are beneficial- books, lovevery play kits, home making most of his meals with organic ingredients, paying up for non toxic items where I can like soap, sunscreen, cotton clothes, etc. I just feel bad that I haven’t “curated” a themed roomed for him. Is anyone else minimalist in this nature? Presently, he has interested in airplanes, trucks, motorcycles, flowers, birds, etc so should I use one of these as a theme and start curating a room for him?

I feel so abnormal for NEVER having a themed room for him, from birth until now.

Just curious because I didn’t see a bday celebration for her first baby?

My son is 15 months old. He’s my only child so maybe I don’t have a proper frame of reference lol. And most of my friends don’t have any kids yet

But from the second he wakes up to the second he goes to bed (minus nap time) he is insanely busy and active. I mean like always doing something - playing with toys, flipping through books, climbing over his foam blocks and jumping off them, running around, etc. but man I am EXHAUSTED. Never one moment to just chill for one second. I try to cuddle him and he will stay for like 5 seconds and then torpedo spin out of my arms lol

It got me thinking … how do people do this with multiple kids? Every time I think I might want a second child I am humbled every single day by my toddler.

A family member was staying at my house for a couple nights. Another family member just showed up to my house while I was out of town without asking me. This person has a history of going through things and in general not being respectful of peoples places or things

I’m being made out to be an asshole because I asked the family member to leave when I found out they were in my house without asking me first. They even went so far to unplug a camera and then dodge my calls (both the person that didn’t ask permission to come over and the other family who was originally staying at my place). AITAH?

I’m in my late 20s. 5 ft 3 in. I had a baby a little over a year ago now. I took my first injection on Feb 11 and had a starting weight of 145 lbs. today is May 1 and I weighed in at 133.8 lbs.

I’ve had a great experience with the shot. I started at 8 units and then increased to 12 and now I’m at 15. Where I’ll likely stay for a while. I only had some light nausea and fatigue but felt better when I ate something small

My weight loss so far is noticeable even though it’s only about 11 lbs. but when you’re my height, a little goes a long way in terms of noticing. My clothes already feel SO much looser. I used to be a 27-28 in pants/jeans and now I’m probably a 24-25. Which is crazy but I think I had a smaller waist to begin with

Overall I’m very happy with the results. And I feel so much less inflamed
