Hey folks, my baby is 10&1/2months and we’ve basically always relied on my partner taking us places. I want to do more things with her during the daytime when I’m not at work and since I don’t have a car atm I’m gonna need to use the bus. I’m super anxious about it for some reason! Part of me is terrified because ...

What are your thoughts on your child using self defense.

I'm not usually one for violence but I told my kids that if anyone hits them on purpose they are allow to hit back. I know, oh but we shouldn't condone violence but I swear some people's kids are asking for it.

Stroller Time Limits - Nanny

How long would you limit your 6-month baby to a stroller ride / carseat in stroller? My nanny took my son on a 3-hour walk today. She said they got out once for a bottle but that seems entirely too long and it’s warm here. I’m debating what to limit it too and will have to let her go if she won’t adjust it.

Is anyone up for creating a weekly walk/get together ? I’m back on my second maternity leave and would love to start play dates again! I get how tough it is to put yourself out there and always thought it was easier in a group!

I'm sure he'd absolutely love the airport and plane and he lives for ice cream and warm weather so an all inclusive holiday sounds ideal. But, a...
