I likely would have L in his own room but as I'm living with my parents, there isn't enough space so we share a room. I probably won't move out til he's about a year old so I'm stuck with him in here anyway lol.
Big hugs guys. I'll make you feel better. This is me....right now. Ds1 is playing games on his tablet. I get it. It's hard and I have to try very hard not to be a huge bitch sometimes.
Sorry if huge. I'll poof soon so laugh while you can!

Hugs for everyone. DD told me this morning she wanted to stay home with me instead of going to daycare insert mom guilt. After writing the big check for 2 kids in daycare, i wish i had a money tree so i could work at least part time.

I take all recommendations with a grain of salt and we room share (and bed share) but I wouldn't be changing sleeping arrangements that work for us to match the new recommendation. Our pediatrician told me nursing to sleep was fine but I needed to brush DD's one tooth (at the time)after nursing her at night. I almost laughed in her face.

Yes because nothing is as soothing as a toothbrush shoved in your mouth to fall asleep! Lol.
Confession: I've done bedtime solo every night except 2 for the past 7 weeks due to DH's work schedule (and then two nights a week soccer league). I feel like I deserve a medal. Or a big glass of wine. Every single night.

You absolutely deserve both those things. I bow down to you!

Lol at brushing one tooth! This reminds me that I didn't brush DS1's teeth tonight because of toddlering. He sucked on his toothbrush while I was on the toilet this afternoon, so that counts, right?

Re: SIDS I was so paranoid with DS1, so I understand the worry. With L I'm following the guidelines as much as I can, but I'm not as worried because I know I'm doing what I can. He's in his own room because otherwise I can't sleep and that's not good for me or my family. Every situation is different and you have to do what works for your family. When our kids have kids I'm sure the guidelines will be totally different and babies will be sleeping in hammocks suspended over their mothers or some other nonsense.
Edited for clarity and quotes myself by accident. It's bedtime.

I can't wait for the election to be over. So tired of being harassed. Of course it's right when DS goes to sleep.... I'm ready to kill people.
I just can't deal with MIL insecurities right now. So I have been ignoring her text. My mom knows no matter what W will love her. That her name that he calls her won't play into the love he feels for her.

Make a sign! Seriously. I ordered a hangable sign earlier this summer on etsy that says "No soliciting, sleeping baby and protective dogs. Please do not knock or ring the doorbell, call or text instead."
It's been a lifesaver, I've watched at least 15(!!) people walk up and walk away since putting it up. You might not have time to get a sign for it to be worth it for the election but just tape up a piece of paper even. Might look weird but for a couple weeks it's worth it.

I have a little sign on the door that says "Shhhh baby sleeping," and I wrote it on a card and taped it over our door bell button. So far it's worked 100%
