If you have a step Child who does not live with you full time, do they have their own room? Where do they sleep?

We have a house and my step son has his own room but it’s starting to bother me because he only stays with us every other weekend and there is a whole room that is not being used for the majority of the time. Meanwhile my toddler’s room is also the office/guest room.

When we lived in an apartment, he would sleep in the living room which was a nightmare because we basically couldn’t use the area while he was there so it was important to me that he’d have a room. I also want him to feel at home with us but ugh!

My daughter is with her dad 60% and me 40 and yes she has a room at both. I have a son in highschool that does online school and goes between me and his dad pretty equally and he also has his own room both places. Plus I have 3 small kids that are with me 100% of the time and two of them share a room.

Trade the rooms with your toddler. Chances are the room will be used as an office and guest room more so when he’s not there than when he is.

I agree put him in the guest room since he isn’t there full time. He will still have his own space and your toddler will have their own room.

Give your toddler his or her room and make the guest room his room when he’s over

I have step children who used to come over every weekend so yes they have their own room but they decided they don’t want to come over anymore for whatever reason and they haven’t been over since June so I’m about to turn that bedroom into a workout room and if they do decide they want to start coming over again they will have to sleep on the sofa or in my baby’s room on a air mattress

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
