My baby is just about a year and we’ve fed to sleep for almost every nap and bedtime since birth. People always tell me how it’s a bad habit and baby will never learn to sleep on their own but it’s working for both of us so I haven’t really thought much of it. However I’ve been wondering how long it’ll work for? Like I genuinely don’t see how I’ll ever stop bc LO all but demands milk before sleep hahaha
I love being at home with my 14 month old but sometimes we just need to get the F out of the house! But I feel like every time we leave suddenly we’ve spent $100?! What are you guys doing to get out of the house that doesn’t cost money?! ETA: it’s hot af where I live so being outside sometimes isn’t feasible 🙁
Where have you guys had success in listing digital products? Etsy? Teachers pay teachers? Somewhere else?
Are there any good IG/Youtube/Tiktokers that can help a beginner learn to decorate?
What are good snacks to take with us while traveling? I.e. doesn’t need to be refrigerated and not too smelly? We usually do fruit and string cheese but looking for something I can throw in a backpack and whip out whenever
I’m looking to buy and additional car seat for my 14 month old, 99%ile height child. Our primary car seat is the graco easy turn 360 in my car. I’m looking for an additional car seat for my husband’s Toyota Tacoma as well as to take on trips when we travel. The problem is, the Tacoma has a very compact backseat. I’m currently looking into the graco slim fit and the Graco extend 2 fit. Does anyone have any feedback on either of these car seats or better options for me?

Are any of the ATK books worth buying? There’s sooooo many I wouldn’t even know where to start
I’ve always wanted 3 kids (I’m oldest of 3) but lately I’ve been hearing so much bad discourse about 3 kids and now I’m wondering if it’s really as bad as everyone says?!
Looking for remote work in the field that isn’t directly working with clients. Or is working with client but is super flexible?
After reading posts on here and talking to some people in person, I’m curious on a theories about in-laws/ relationships with in-laws. It seems that a lot of people who met their spouse/in laws in earlier in life (high school, maybe college) have better relationships with their in-laws *potentially* because they met the in laws while they were still in a parenting/nurturing role. So when kids are in the picture it’s easier to trust or see them as caregivers. Versus those who met their spouse/in laws as a full fledged adult and the in laws weren’t in much of a parenting role but instead are just people. And it can be harder to trust your kids with people that you don’t necessarily know as “parents”
I’m curious what your relationship with your in laws is like (specifically after having kids) and when you met your spouse/in laws?
I love watching TikToks/ IG/ YouTube videos of creators making recipes (I enjoy watching people cook and I’m a visual learner! I’m curious if there’s any content creators out there with cookbooks that are actually well written and well developed that you use a lot?
We’re taking a 3.5 hr flight with our 13 month old and I’m stressed bc he’s an ACTIVE kid. Like truly never sits still. Not quite walking yet but crawls EVERYWHERE. What are some tips/ toys/ food that I can bring to keep him occupied?
Also, we have a rotating car seat at home, but obviously don’t want to travel with that so what’s a good car seat to travel with?
I see all these posts from people who say “my mom cares for me postpartum while I care for the baby” and all these sweet things. Unfortunately that couldn’t be farther from the truth for me. My mom quite literally only cares about my kid. She never asks how I am, only asks about the baby. Constantly asking for pictures of the baby, asking to come over and see him. And when she’s over she only talks to and about the baby. She barely even greets me when we walk through the door and just immediately tries to grab him from me. She brought us some meals when we got home from the hospital which was nice but she dropped them off and then immediately wanted to hold the baby. I guess it’s just hurtful that my own mom couldn’t care less about me now that there’s a baby in the picture. I would expect this from my MIL (who also doesn’t give a shit about me- but she never has so that’s a separate issue lol) but I was hoping that my mom would still care about ME as me and not just use me for access to the baby?
Baby is a few months old now so unfortunately this isn’t just a “newborn” excitement thing anymore. It’s honestly making me quite resentful of her and I now I don’t really want her around at all.
Full Brazilian? Bush? Waxing? Shaving? What’s the move these days?
Do we think she actually wears the wigs 24/7 like it seems or does she just put them on to film? I can’t imagine wearing a pigtail wig while I’m out laying in the sun 🤮
New mom who’s struggling- Looking for a good therapist that specializes in pregnancy/postpartum/motherhood. Looking mostly for teletherapy and bonus if they take insurance. Hoping for therapists that people actually have used and liked. Thanks!!!
Curious if you’ve used and/or liked any. Especially curious about. The detox products for vaccines and natureprofen as those are products I haven’t seen in other brands!
I love to cook, however I have young kids who are fairly picky eaters so I find myself making the same dinners over and over. Any ideas for kid friendly cookbooks that I could use to spice up my dinner rotation?
I’m the oldest of three and all my life I’ve been the third parent/the responsible one, the one who always just figured it out. Because of that, I’m very independent and have learned not to rely on anyone/ just get things done myself. I had a baby a year ago and I’m really struggling with everyone suddenly wanting to be sooooo involved in my (baby’s) life. I know it’s a good thing there’s more people to love my kid but at the same time part of me is like “you all just left me to fend for myself all those years and NOW you want to be involved and “support” me????”
On top of that, I’ve gotten a hard time from a lot of people for not letting them babysit/ watch baby overnight and I just don’t get it because I’ve been trained to rely only on myself, so why would I trust you now?
Mostly just a rant. Curious if any other eldest daughters can relate or if I’m just a headcase haha
