Hello everyone. I have a daughter. She would play with me but also was very independent and would play alone a lot. I could do things around the house and get back to spending time watching and playing with her. For example I could do dishes and she would play in the water next to me. I could fold laundy in her room and she would play in the room. As she gets closer to 3 she has become way more demanding. Granted she also gained a brother 6 months ago. He is clingy but for a long time she didnt care, I would still play with her and she didnt mind playing while I had her brother.

About a week or two ago she has decided she needs entertained by me or her dad constantly. She no longer wants to play on her own. So all we hear is play with me, play with me. I do want to say she is not neglected or ignored, we spend hours with no phone time playing with her and doing things together. She gets about 2 hours devoted time to her and her only with both parents and individual time daily. She is even demanding us to play with her while we are playing with her! She would understand that we have other things we need to do first and she would be ok to go play alone until we were free. Now she just sits wherever I am and demands us to play while we are doing other things.

I love her, I love spending time with her but I am trying to do other things and Im getting very burnt out on her needing live entertainment 24/7. Is this a phase? What can I do because giving everything I can is still not enough for her.

I'm re-listening to Galavant and just remember how hilarious that show was. I also enjoyed Crazy Ex-girlfriend and Hazbin Hotel. I just wish they made more of this genre of shows!

I know Glavant got only two seasons, which is crazy as it is rated so high. I consider Crazy Ex-girlfriend successful as it had time to get closure. Hazbin Hotel seems to have a good following. Im just wondering if more of these shows would do better in a streaming world vs cable? I know its a little niche but if we can get hundreds of firefighter, cop, medical dramas surely we can try something new!

Hey everyone. So I am a SAHM and do almost exclusive breastfeeding for my 6 month old. However we are starting the cereal and food journey and I want to start pumping and building up a supply. My baby does well on both breast and bottle. The issue is that pumping just gets me hardly anything. I have a few pumps and the pieces are good, flange size is accurate, etc but its like I cant produce more than 1-2 ounces per breast. My baby is growing, not showing any signs or issues with a low supply (eats well, gaining weight, eats every 4 hours except at night when they sleep for 7 hours.)

I would appreciate any tips or tricks. I had no issues when I was pumping early in the newborn stage. I dont know what to do or try.
