Am I the only one who doesn't clean the floor or vacuum excessively? I'd say it's second child syndrome but I was the same with ds1. He used to crawl across the ground at the barn, fell face first into horse poo while doing family pictures at a year. That kid is healthy! Lo has already eaten dog hair and a dead leaf. lol

I can not stop thinking lately about whether or not I'm done having kids. I'm itching to sell baby stuff, but then again I'm all "what if I need it again?". I really think I'm done, but when I start thinking about the finality of that I get scared. WAH why am I so back and forth and why can't I stop thinking about it???

I sweep daily. Like k3am mentioned I hate the feel of stuff on the bottom of my feet.
Plus dogs. I get tumbleweeds if I don't sweep regularly lol
ellesea, nanny sweeps the floors as needed. I run the Roomba here and there. cleaning ladies vacuum every other week. If not for nanny or cleaning ladies....don't want to know what it would be like!

+1 on the hate cleaning floors. I'm been meaning to mop my bathroom for two weeks now. I know this because the steam mop has been sitting outside the bathroom door for that long. It also means the kitchen hasn't been mopped in that time either.
Now that A is mobile I will be vacuuming and picking up more. I'm more worried about choking hazards than dirt though. I would say it's a STM thing but I've been anti-vacuuming since long before kids.

It's a huge decision so I totally get feeling conflicted. Hugs.

What does YH say?
He's fine with whatever I want to do. He would love more, but he understands my reasons why I'm leaning towards being done. One thing we both agree on is it being nice to get through this baby/toddler stage quickly since they are so close in age.

I don't think it's good for my mental health to have more kids. I don't ever want to take Zoloft again, I just weaned off it for the second time and it's not fun. I really want to get back into horses (which are the best anti-depressant for me, just super expensive!). I always knew I would take time off to have kids but I really miss riding and money is so tight.
I always thought I would have 4 kids. But now I'm really happy with two. And it just feels right. It's really just that longtime dream/vision whatever you want to call it that pulls at my heart to have more and make me question being done.
H and I don't have to make anything permanent now, but it would be nice to get rid of baby stuff. I would just hate to get rid of it then decide I wasn't done and have to rebuy things. It would just be nice to make a little cash selling stuff. I hate things just sitting and not being used. Then again I've been holding onto all of my tack and horse supplies for years and it hasn't been used in over 3 years.
Yup if it's not out of reach its in his hands and at risk of being in his mouth.
Also he has scooted probably 12 feet while I was in the kitchen loading the dishwasher. Usually he plays quietly (or not so quietly) on his blanket with toys. I came back and he was gone. 😳 He was under the rocking chair on the other side to the room trying to chew on the wood.
DD rolled across the den today and hit her head on the coffee table. She didn't cry or care but it left a little red mark... Mom of the year here.😳
birkmmm saw my MOTY moment today. At lunch we had the boys sitting on the table and I let go and a minute later B fell backward sending stuff off the table and bumping his head.

This is a tough age I have decided! They don't sit super well independently but want to sit.

I need tips from all of you that have roombas. We have all of these separate rooms that have large open doorways, so I can't keep it contained to one area but it seems to just wander between all the rooms, missing tons of areas and needing it's battery recharged before it's done. What's your strategy? Do you do one room at a time? How do you deal with all the toys, baby gear, cords, etc. it could run over?
So annoyed at work. The lactation room door was locked, but the do not disturb sign was not on the handle.I had to come back upstairs 3x before I could get in. First I tried the handle, second time I knocked and nobody answered, it seemed like the lights were off. I was about to email our office manager and hr, but decided to check one more time before hitting send and whoever was in here had left. I highly suspect someone was taking a nap. The other person who pumps was done earlier.
ellipses, we have a split level house. It runs on a schedule every night in the kitchen and dining room. Those areas never have any cords or toys on the floor. We corral before work either in the living/entry and close the hall door, or in the back of the house with the hall door closed. I'm not sure it makes it everywhere, but it's fine enough. Cords get picked up before we run it. It will eat them. DD keeps her toys up "so the roomba and brother don't get them."
And people love using our lactation room personal calls, naps, and eating lunch. It's annoying. I know the girl who shares with me's schedule well enough to pound on the door if it's closed or go get the key if someone accidentally locked it.
It's ridiculous that it's almost November and I'm very uncomfortably hot trying to nurse Cam to sleep with the windows open and the attic fan running. Fall can come anytime!!

DS scratches his face at least weekly. I have trimmed his nails three times in two weeks and he still does it. I wish my nails could grow that quickly!

((Hugs)) gahorseygal it sounds like you don't need to decide now. maybe there's another way to make extra cash that isn't so emotionally charged. Mental health is important! You've got this!
Our new lovely (not) home/daycare arrangement leaves our living room carpet a few cat steps away from the litter boxes. Obviously they track it everywhere. So yeah. Vacuuming obsessively must be a thing in my house. Also concerned about crawling and litter boxes. Argh. Need a permanent solution!

DS face planted on our rubber mats in the play yard I have for him while sitting because I got distracted for a second. Poor kiddo screamed like he was dying (more scared than anything I think since he fell gently) but they are so wobbly at this age.
