Hey Bianca, just a quick question - do you have a co-pay with the daycare voucher? I’m not sure if we qualify but damn sure want to try lol. My daughter goes to daycare in forest hills so that would be a distance for you.

I am blessed, and I’m so lucky to have found that voucher, truly if it weren’t for my coworkers pushing me to do it, I would’ve been none the wiser lol but I urge you to apply, I make a decent amount of money and I still was approved, I would suggest going on Google and searching the term ACS voucher, and it’ll route you to where you need to go to apply for it, and you still have time now to apply for it, and they’re pretty fast with their determinations, so if I were you, I would just go for it, it doesn’t hurt. And I guess the search continues lol my daughter goes to a wonderful school in Queens Village, however, they only start taking kids at two years old, and even though I have a great village, everyone works, and the only person that could watch my son is my grandmother, but she is older, and even though she feels like she is capable I don’t see her being a great fit to take care of kids anymore… So I really have to see where I’m going to place my son.

You're SOO lucky!

Is anyone else sick of being told their husband/partner is amazing and aren't you so lucky he does so much to help you with the baby. Yes he helps raise his child. Does he do anywhere near as much as me, no way. I breastfed for 7 months, I took a year off my job and so have lost money, affected my pension, literally get up every night for a year with this baby. Does he get asked the same thing about me. I don't think so. If anything it's like a negative on me as a mum that I'm getting SO much help. I might lose it at the next person to say this to me.

Are we letting children watch the old Disney movies?

Movies like Pocahontas, Jungle Book, Peter Pan and Pinocchio. I know there is a lot in movies like these that is controversial but I grew up on these and wondering if I should just let my 3 year old watch the old Disney movies. My favorite was Fox and Hound but watching it as an adult gives me a take I didnt realize as a kid.

3 year old wants a PHONE

Help! My daughter sees her 5 year old cousin on her phone(yes my brother got his 5 year old a real phone) and has been constantly asking my husband and I if she could have a 'real' phone. We have given her pretend ones that light up and make sounds and she recognizes its not a real working phone and asks for a real one. I didn't think I would be having this argument at 3. I didnt think she would ask for a phone until middle school. Idk what I was thinking. Any ideas on how to convince her she doesnt need one? I tried telling her things like "it will hurt your brain and eyes" "your eyes dont like it" and I redirect her to books, toys, slime, playdoh literally anything besides a phone. Any suggestions on how to deter her from wanting one?

CHIA SEEDS

Hi moms 😊 How do you usually prepare chia seeds before eating them, for both yourselves and your little ones? Do you wash them first and then soak, just soak them, or eat them as they are? What works best for you?

do you and your SO connect (emotionally or physically) regularly?

I crave intimacy, but my partner comes home very tired. He plays a little with our baby before his bath, then eats, showers and then he plays on his phone, or watch reels. I told him yesterday that the time he spends on his phone we could do something together, ANYTHING, since we don't have couple time, only parent. He seemed annoyed and told me literally "that's life, we can't connect everyday". I guess he does have a point, but I feel so not appreciated and loved :(
Just wanted to know if I'm alone in this
