corrys12 it's so sporadic for us. Some days S is awesome and has no issues at a meal and others he's a beast sand it takes every trick we've got to get through a meal.
This is us. DS goes to cafes with me at least once a week and is really good (short meal or snack). His currency is a babycino (milk and froth) and he loves the positive attention he gets from randos when he's being "cute" or sitting nicely on a "big boy chair". I would say do small, like go for a quick coffee or drink somewhere nice, get LO used to it. Of course, DS has days when he's a disaster out and about, but for the most part he is good. It helps if MH is there too, if food is taking ages or whatever, he just takes him for a walk.
That is a great suggestion!! I will definitely be trying that.
America, your government is terrifying. But your ability to unite for each other and those who need you is inspiring. Keep up the tough, but rewarding work. And we've got your back.
At what age does it get easier for a toddler to sit thru a meal out in a restaurant? Or is it just crazy for me to think some day soon he'll be able to sit in one place for like an hour. I mean, places like Dennys or IHop or Chipotle we're ok with, but I mean go to a NICE dinner. Or at least not some place with just paper napkins.
I feel like if I don't expose him early enough he'll never really learn to behave like a lil gentleman....but just the idea of taking him to dinner somewhere at this point gives me anxiety.
Honestly, I know there are some mixed feelings on this and I don't want my kid to be the one who always needs constant electronics but I have no qualms with giving her my phone to watch a video or play a little game if we're somewhere a little nicer and the food is taking a really long time or we really want to have a decent conversation with whoever we're out with. I think at this age their attention span is so short it's unrealistic often to expect them to be able to sit through something like that.

I never pay attention to politics. Neither does MH. Ever. We are just not into it. Since trump announced he was running we have been paying very close attention and doing what we can. We have been talking all morning about how terrifying this all is. We have dreading this all for months. We are trying to stay positive but it's so hard. My point is, the state of our politics has to be pretty bad if MH and I are getting involved.

Ugh MH just text me. His boss offered him work that will keep him there late. The positive: 16 hours pay for basically 9 hours of work. The negatives: he has been there since 5 and won't get out until 6:40, I will be solo parenting all day and he won't see G at all today. If the money wasn't so good, I would kick his butt. 😂
Can anyone tell me WHYYYYY whenever I leave C and H alone in the morning he always always always rocks her for a nap?!?!
She manages to not need a morning nap whenever she is with ANYONE else. She makes one small fuss and H rushes her to bed.
I'm beyond annoyed because now the rest of the day is fucked.
ETA: all I did was shower. That's it. I came out and they're in her room rocking. WTAF. If you can't handle watching her for a half hour and deal with a tantrum, get your shit together.

Id be like "may I suggest you give her a fucking snack or play with her next time she fusses?"
My H is similar though. Every weekend he tries to put C down for a nap at least an hour before normal, no matter what I say. I tell him if he wants to pull that shit then C is his problem for the rest of the day and for any MOTN wake ups that it may result in.
Your inability to listen to reason will not create unnecessary problems for me.

I'm looking for a new foundation since bare minerals discontinued mine. I'm so frustrated. I find one that has amazing reviews but them I keep reading and see horrible reviews. Ugh!

Not sure what kind you are looking for but I've been using Philosophy "take a deep breath" cushion foundation and really like it! I also use the Rodan and Fields mineral peptides powder foundation and really like that for lighter coverage.

Oh my god all of the tears. She has done nothing but cry for nearly a half hour. If I was one to drink, I would be pouring myself very large glass right now.

Can you go to Sephora and ask them to help you pick one? I just got a Make Up For Ever foundation there that I love.

Yeah, that probably the right way to do it. Do you show up with no make up on?
