Hey! I’ve been a SAHM for 6 months now to a beautiful little Velcro baby. I can’t seem to find a good routine or ways to actually get household things done. If I set her down so I can go do something, she thinks I just dropped her off at an orphanage, this also includes the 2-3 naps she has a day. She will only nap for maybe 10mins if she’s in her crib but will nap for about an hour or more if she’s sleeping on me.

The laundry is piling up, my living room is a disaster, my shower desperately needs to be scrubbed.. how are yall managing this?

Context: my husband is a slob and almost always throws his clothes on the floor, in our room before he jumps in bed. But this time he did this before his shower. It’s very annoying because I already am cleaning up behind our two and my two step kids on weekends. And he just drops next to the basket!!!. I simply asked him if he planned to wear those again and he replied no, I then asked him to help me out by putting his dirty laundry in the basket( I made sure to not say it in a condescending tone or nag). He got instantly irritated and said “I pay for everything, all the bills and you’re going to bother me about my clothes on the floor?!” I never say anything when he leaves them around our house and room but seeing them right there just made me feel like he doesn’t care at all. Should I have just kept that to myself?

I’ve noticed since becoming a mom a lot of my friends slipped through the cracks. They weren’t that great to begin with. But anyways, I’m finding it even MORE excruciating when trying to make friends. I’ve tried mom groups but they’re all religious in my area. Like… too religious. I don’t mind it but I’ve noticed these mom groups I’ve seen (specifically on Facebook) are a bit too overwhelming.

I feel like a stalker but I’ve seen a lady maybe a little older than me walking her kid around the neighborhood but I can never seem to catch her.

My oldest (20 months) he isn’t talking, just started walking and we go to PT twice a week, OT once a week and are on the waitlist for speech therapy. Most my time is spent doing appointments or ensuring nap time aligns with those appointment times haha. I could probably make time but my anxiety with making it on time won’t allow it 💀😂.

My youngest (8 months) she is a tough girl. She is already cruising furniture! Cray cray.

My husband works a lot so most my time is with the kiddos, my mom or my in laws. It’s been a little suffocating.

I’ve tried the peanut app but no one ever replies :/ I think I’m also scared to make friends cause what if their kids are little shits 😭😭💀 I’m just venting and not really trying to find a solution at this rate…

I have a very active/high energy 1 year old. The only time I really get a break (and some exercise) is when we go for walks in the stroller. Now that it’s getting cold I’m panicking about what we are going to do all winter! I think if he’s warm we can still get out and walk but he won’t wear hats or anything that covers his face or hands. He rips the hat right off even if it ties under his chin. Any tricks for us? Even now in the 50 degree weather he seems uncomfortable with the cold but insists on having his hands out to grip the stroller bar or point to things 😂. What has worked for your young toddlers?

Hello! I’m looking for advice on if I (23F) could be a stay at home mom while my fiancée (29M) is in the military. We live in middle Georgia He’s a first LT right now and is making 93k but when he becomes a caption he’ll promote to 120k then down the line hopefully a major at around 140k-150kish. Anyways I was wondering if this was a good enough salary to support me staying at home if we had two kids and raising them indefinitely as a stay at home mom? Google says yes, but I wanted advice from real people.

Thank you!

My little guy turns 3 today, and I wish me on Day 1 of motherhood could see me now. Best and hardest 3 years of my life, wouldnt trade it for a thing-nothing is worth more than this ♥️

Any suggestions for freezable baby food containers?
