You just buckled your kid into the car seat after they fought and cried and made it take several minutes longer than normal. You get in the drivers seat and go to open your gps to realize you left your phone in the house. What do?

Is your answer different if it’s a house versus apartment?

If you live in a sketchy area or a city yeah you’ll have to take them with you.
Safe suburbs just lock the car and run in for a second.
Country with no neighbors yeah 60 seconds won’t hurt. Answer depends on where you live.

I park on my driveway and wouldn’t have a problem nipping back in the house to get my phone as long as the car was in sight. If I had to go upstairs or park on the road or live in apartment etc then I’m not sure I would if it meant not being able to see the car

If we are at home, I leave them in the car because our car is about 10 feet from the door and I just keep it on and lock it up. When we were in our apartment, I would definitely take them back out because we lived on the third floor and parking was always pretty far. Luckily my husband works from home so 99% of the time he is there and able to run it back out to me.

I feel like my personal situation is borderline. I take my son out of his seat every time, maybe if I had a key fob which could lock him in with the car on I might choose differently but I don’t. I have a driveway but can’t go inside through my garage- my front door is about 30 feet away around a corner

my car is directly outside the door so personally i would run in and get it but if i lived in an apartment or if my car was further from my house i would get him out.

I would go quickly by myself only if it took less than 3 mins *and* it was not scorching hot. Otherwise, with all the pain, I would unbuckle them and take them.

I park on a driveway, on a quiet street. I’d run back. In fact I often forget one thing or another. Or I put the kids in before I pack the car (less likely to have escapees that way.. although I do pile everything up at the door so I’m not hunting around for anything).

If I had to park like further away from my house though I’d either just leave the phone or I’d be unbuckling.

My car is in the garage so I would leave them and go get it

if i have to i just lift the whole car seat out of the car (my guy is little). ain't no way i'm taking him out of the car seat for 2 seconds

oh, that's tough ♥ (i've definitely raced back into the house if it's something i know will be fast... i try to avoid it though)

Do you hit your husband?

Like a smack on the back of his head or back
Or straight up hitting him and beating on him
Or not at all

Great grandma kissed my babies face

My girl is 5 weeks, we spent over 2 weeks in the NICU and I am very germ conscious because of everything, she had sepsis and needed resuscitation at birth so I’m very overprotective. We took my girl to see her great grandma and she kissed her on the face, like on the lips, I am now absolutely freaking out that my daughter will now get seriously ill, we’ve seen several members of the family and this hasn’t happened yet, but now she’s been kissed and I haven’t even kissed her face because of the germs. Its my partners grandma so I didn’t feel like I could say anything at the time, which I now regret but it was all so fast and made me so uncomfortable. I am like very stressed now, any advise on how to stop it happening again and anything that can be said that will stop me having a panic attack over the next few days worrying she will get sick?!

Nuna leaf

I’ve used the joie serina swing for my last 2 babies, but looking at the nuna seats, would you recommend these? Are there any cheaper alternatives?

Please

Please please please tell me I'm not the a-hole here or I'm not overreacting because I would have to take accountability and responsibility for my words and apologize. So a little backstory yesterday I did the overnight for our 4-month son. He's going through sleep regression. He was up every hour on the hour and I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. He got to sleep the whole night through. He didn't work yesterday and said he wasn't feeling good. Which okay. But I managed to get all the laundry folded and put away and go grocery shopping and make dinner. That's 2 hours of sleep I had to adult on. Now today he did the overnights last night and my son slept longer. We have my two daughters from her previous marriage. I am not only doing laundry. I'm doing dishes. I'm making lunch for them and I'm also trying to take care of my 4-month-old. He comes in and says he's tired now. I told him to do the laundry because I can't always get to the laundry room because I live in an apartment and the laundry room is on the other side of the building. He left a basket of clothes that were still damp and he came in and said I'm tired and I don't feel good. He's highly allergic to cats and we have three and on top of that he smokes and he has horrible allergies so his sinuses are probably pissed off. Am I wrong for being angry? I don't get to have a day off even when I'm tired. He does right now. He's sleeping because my son is sleeping. WTF 😒😒😒
