So DD hates the carrier car seat. We are supposed to be going on vacation soon, I know she's going to need a convertible car seat eventually. Should I just go ahead and buy one for the trip. I've heard how so many babies car seat hate goes away once the are out of the carrier
I've been going back and forth on this. My sister has a lo 6 months older, and she keeps saying how nice and easy the carrier is compared to a convertible (ease of use wise), but I think happy baby would still trump that.

She's so heavy in the carrier and hates it so much that honestly when we get to our destination we just take her out the carrier and carry her or put her in the stroller. So the ease of it has worn off lol.
this is what we did. In her room it's laminate wood floors and we put that stuff on the bottom of towels instead of buying rugs. I'll post a pic when I get home if you want. Rugs are so damn expensive!
Rugs are stupid expensive! I don't understand! I would love a pic if you remember / have time. I have a piece of that cabinet liner stuff under my at-the-door mats but it really doesn't seem to help. Hoping that has more to do with the doors than the floor tho.
We have 2 extra memory foam shower mats we had from when we registered for our wedding. I wish they had rug size versions of these!

My DD HATED her carrier seat. We just switched to a convertible car seat and so far she's WAAAAAAAAAAY more happy. We haven't had one spaz out session since we've updated. And she would cry before we could even leave the driveway. She has way more room, more airflow and can see so much more now out of the windows. IMO I would, the less stressful driving and just piece of mind all around is just so worth it.
We have been so happy so far that DH and I were talking about all of the places we can go now! LOL

I think I'm gonna go for it. DD hates being confined and her carrier def confines her.

Our neighbours just had another huge fight today. Her son came in his car i think asking for money. They started a screaming match on the street and the woman's youngest son (5) started hirting the older son and baaaah it was a mess. I hate this neighbourhood!
Question for you ladies. When you're in the car and your LO starts fussing how long do you go before you intervene? Yesterday we were about 20mins from home and DS had been complaining for about 10 mins. Nothing serious, but it started to escalate and I told DBF to pull over so I could get in the back and calm him down. He was all "We are almost home." and I said "I don't care!!" By the time he pulled over DS was hysterical so I'm glad I insisted and DBF apologized for not just pulling off right away. Poor kid was so hot and thirsty (my AC is broken right now).
Bucket car seats are awful for airflow. The babies are hot when rear facing unless you have ceiling vents that can directly send airflow their way. Also looking into a window shade if you don't already have one.
Do have a pacifier clipped to their seat? I have super long arms so I was able to reach back and grab the paci to shove in W's mouth when she used to get mad while in the car. Please note that my eyes never left the road while I was driving.
I also bought a stroller fan from babies r us. I clip it to the car seat when it's a hot day and were driving.

I was just telling DH we needed a stroller fan the other day. I need to go to babies r us

it still moves and gets scrunched when the dogs play on it, but we can walk on it and stuff and it generally stays in the right spot

Could use some thoughts and prayers for my dad. I apologize for the nature of the post in advance.
He had been complaining of a sore throat since last fall. He did a couple round of antibiotics without any improvement. At the beginning of March he fell and broke a hip, so the sore throat issue became the lesser issue. A few weeks ago he decided to see an ent because it was still not feeling better and had started coughing blood and losing weight. The ent took a look at his throat using a camera and located a mass on his epiglottis that was close to obstructing his airways. They referred him to the cancer hospital at OSU for a follow up today. The specialist there biopsied the mass and indicated that, while obviously nothing is confirmed until biopsy results are back, he is fairly certain it is malignant based on presentation. They are expecting results this week, but they already set him up with surgical, radiation, and med oncology appts to develop treatment plan. He just filed his paperwork to retire in September for his 62 birthday.
So if you all could send up some prayers or send some good vibes his way that this ends up being nothing serious, I'd appreciate it. I haven't mentioned to my best friend yet because her dad passed away from cancer at the same hospital 8 or so years ago, and I don't want to trigger any bad memories for her.

We just put little stiches on each corner, on in the middle and just a few around the edges. Like I said, it does move when the dogs play on it but we can walk on it and stuff without it getting bunched or moving around too much. Hopefully you find something that works!

I'm at the neighborhood pool with DD. A kid was reprimanded by the lifeguard for sort of diving. During adult swim when the lifeguards are on break, the kid's dad dove into 4-5 foot water right beside the sign that said "no diving". The kid pointed to the sign and the dad said, "That isn't for me. I'm grown." It just irks the shit out of me to see a parent do stuff like that. Parents not following the rules in front of their kids is why I have students who don't understand that rules apply to them.
