Still need confirmation on that date.
So I’ve heard that at some point in the sleep-deprived, puke-ridden, diaper bonanza that is raising babies and toddlers that eventually the exhaustion fades and you start to feel normal again? Is this true? If so, I’m going to need a date to mark on my calendar.

Thank you @elonmusk! It was a pleasure to join @MarioNawfal & @KatalinNovak_HU for this deep discussion on the reality of Population Collapse. More conversations like this are urgently needed. Watch Part 1 of the #Birthgap documentary, as mentioned in the interview, here on X:
Good deep dive into the global population collapse that is happening

Mom of one, being left at home alone with a newborn for 24 hours My husband “ I am so so sorry. I promise I will make it up to you. I’m so sorry.” Mom of three, being left at home alone with a newborn for 24 hours My husband “ Enjoy your break!”

What I’ve learned being a mom of 3 under 3 for the last 2 weeks: 1. It’s hard. 2. Taking life day by day is essential. 3. Staying on top of housework also essential. 4. Seriously, 2 loads of laundry / day. Same with dishwasher. 5. So many diapers… 6. My husband is still the best
What I’ve learned being a mom of 2 under 2 for the last 10 days: 1. It’s very rare to have both children content at the same time. 2. My 1.5 year old cries more than my newborn. 3. At any given moment, it’s safe to assume someone needs a diaper change. 4. My husband is the best.

When you’re looking for some sort of help or reassurance raising 3 kids under 3, and the only advice google has for you is “Crying is ok”.

But why is watered down pop so much better than regular pop?

Pregnancy has got to be the most glamourized thing that is actually not glamorous at all. Three pregnancies in and I’m just realizing now that I’ve been duped.

Putting make up on: “This is great, why don’t I wear make up more often?” Taking make up off: “Oh, yea”

It has taken me an absurdly long time to read through the first 4 books of the Bible. Now I’m in Deuteronomy and I’m entering a time of victory and praise and joy and hope after a long period of hardship and obedience. As a parent, I love every piece of wisdom imparted by Moses.

Why, whyyyyyyy, is it that every time we have a play date with other families it is 100% guaranteed we have the wildest kids? They are animals.

Twitter, please stop with all the luggage ads. I’m 2 months away from having 3 kids under 3. I am not going anywhere.

When you try to teach your kids to share but then they expect you to share too.

My dad turns 76 this year and he’s in hvac. He called me saying “I found a bag of yours, umm, can I have it? It would be perfect to put my tools in while I climb on the roof” You can’t tell this man to stop, honestly.

Mom groups be like: Mom: My kids are driving me crazy. My 10y/o set their classroom on fire. My 7y/o might be on meth. And my 3y/o twins will only walk on their eyebrows. Advice? Pls I’m desperate. MG: We condemn your use of the word “crazy”. It is ableist. You are now banned.

Not me pinning every recipe I see dreaming of filling my countertops with homemade meals and goodies while having a 2 y/o, 9 month old, 30 weeks pregnant, and crying every 20 mins because I desperately need a massage and a nap.

I brought out a 50-pack of unopened red solo cups and put them in the living room around 3pm. It is almost 5pm and my 2 y/o is still playing with them and has literally not bothered me or asked me for anything once. Follow me for more parenting tips and tricks.

It doesn’t matter if I buy 1 bunch of bananas or 5, my kids will eat all of them before I can make banana bread.

I love that period after babies turn 6 months and they wake up in their crib like, “No no, I’m good. Really. Get me when you’re ready”.

What you see: Your well-off friends frequently going out for dinner and ordering in. What I see: Your friends making poor financial decisions.
What you see: Shiny new Cadillac Escalade What I see: 84-months of $1,000+ payments

Me, 6 months pregnant with my 3rd baby. Selling a dresser on marketplace. My husband didn’t want me to lift it because I’m too pregnant. The lady who comes to the door, 8 months pregnant with her 5th baby. Lifts the dresser no problem w/ my husband and loads it into her trunk.
