No more naps?

I don’t remember when was the last time my 2 year old napped. I’m so fed up and tired. Are other April 2023 babies napping?

My son still naps everyday for about 1.5-2 hours

I miss the break 🫠 My AB dropped her nap almost 6 months ago already 😭

My daughter still naps for about 2 hours in the afternoon. Sometimes she chooses not to but then she ends up being very fussy

They are getting harder to nap

My toddler fights her nap most days, especially when I try to make her nap independently. I either have to sit by her, which 99% of the time leads to a power struggle. But if she doesn't nap, she is fussy all day long, or will end up falling asleep randomly at an odd time in the late evening, or the moments she gets into a car ride, even a short ride. So we have resulted in baby-wearing her to nap for about 1-2 hrs each day. She's happy to be baby-worn and would quickly say yes to a nap when asked if we wear her. Many days ive said " F it"!! And would put her in bed earlier at night instead

I’ve had to lay mine down after lunch some days so they won’t be fussy at dinner time. It’s been kind of working

I make my toddler nap whether he wants to or not, even if he ends up napping for 30min that’s fine but he’ll usually take a 3-4hr nap everyday… the earlier they go to bed the better they nap during the day. My son is 2 he goes to bed between 6:30-7:30.
I have his room set up so that he can stay in there and play or nap and do whatever he wants. More Montessori style so it allows me to have a little time to myself each day

Mine has been on a nap strike since she turned 2 three months ago. She will only nap in the car if we are out and about. It’s been hard adjusting but it does make bedtime go so much smoother. We just do quiet time in a big play pen area with books

March 2023 baby here and still naps. But she needs it 😮‍💨

My March 2021 baby still naps too.

They both go in their rooms from 1-3 and if they nap, they nap. If they don’t, they have books to read and a few stuffies to play with to unwind. Sometimes my 2021 naps the entire time and others it’ll be 1 hour or maybe even a half hour.

Either way they still get their quiet time.

My daughter is napping 1:30-2:00 hours

Mine will nap from 1-3 but then doesn’t go to bed till 9:30 so I’m thinking it might give me more peace to drop her nap bc I’m about to pull my hair out at night

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

How do I end this friendship

My best friend of 15 years and I are in similar stages of life and her behaviour has gotten increasingly erratic and triggering. I am about to have my first baby and she is struggling with postpartum from her second who was born last August. All the “normal” post partum depression symptoms I totally understand but she has also in my opinion made a lot of selfish choices recently.

She is constantly yelling and berating her husband and kids as well as flying off the handle at the tiniest things and it’s super triggering for me coming from a previous abusive relationship. She’s honestly being abusive to her family.

I feel like she always makes everything about herself and her reasoning has gotten soooo misconstrued. She acts only on her emotions and doesn’t care about anyone else’s. She never accepts any constructive criticism or advice even though she complains 24/7 about everything.

She says she hates being a mom and doesn’t want to be around her kids , hates her marriage, hates her job, and complains 24\7 and refuses to do anything to change. She also makes everything about herself including my baby shower we just had. She’s made rude comments to my spouse as well.

I don’t have many mom friends but at this point she is just not the type of person I want to be around because she is being so mean and wanting to bring everyone down with her. Also I am about to have my first baby and just want to focus on me.

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?
