Get rid of the trampoline and talk to the kids’ parents. But if all else fails, do not hesitate to be a little mean to the kids. They’ll get over it - you’re not their parent. And they might finally get the point.

Wtf kind of question is this? Weeks are weeks and months are months. If your kid was born on July 17th, 2 months is on September 17th. 8 weeks does not equal 2 months, it equals 8 weeks.

It’s not like you’d say that a year only has 365 days and so in 4 years her birthday will be on July 16th (because leap year has one extra day, but for some reason instead of counting by the date you’re counting by the number of days in a year to determine how many years old she is).

If she knew better then she wouldn’t have done it. Sounds like y’all need to have another conversation to ensure she knows better.

You can just do the things you would normally do with your toddler. Including chores - it’s recommended to teach them early on how to do chores (at the level they can, anyway). They love to help.

Take shifts to take care of the baby and one person sleeps in a different room. Also blackout curtains.

The scientific research says so.

Your husband needs to try harder to find a new job. I’ve looked for new jobs (by choice) twice during this pandemic and found something new within a week both times. He can find something. Even if he works at something he doesn’t love for a little while, he can move with you.

If you’re having contractions, all these people are going to be disappointed. Baby’s coming and gonna be here very soon and all these people’s “special days” are going to be nonexistent in your mind.

Sucking on thumbs or hands is better for them than a pacifier.

YTA. Your children are going to be moving away for college in 2-4 years anyway. It’s not going to hurt them to move now and they can always travel to visit their friends. My mom moved my brother and sister (I was already in college) to a different continent when they were just a little younger than your girls. Both of them made new friends and they’re in great relationships now. They hated the move at first, but now that they’re older, they acknowledge that it was a good move for my mom to take a job that paid significantly better and was better for family life.

Yeah because I’m sure getting COVID with your health concerns is going to be so much better 🙄 Spare us the sanctimonious bullshit.

Vaccines are working to stop the DYING. That’s just as important. Moron.

We also do shifts, but you can sleep when the baby sleeps next to the baby (while baby is in a bassinet or crib). We use the owlet for an extra sense of security but as long as you follow safe sleep guidelines you will be fine.

Doesn’t your child sleep occasionally?

You need to leave with your baby ASAP.

Throw the whole man away. Seriously, what good is he to you as an ornament in your household that you have to take care of? Might as well divorce him and get the child support to ensure you can pay for the care you need instead of having this man who use about as useful as a soggy paper towel around.

Yes, it goes away. The first couple of weeks are going to be a lot of holding (as they should be - that’s how you bond), but if you start gradually putting baby down in the bassinet, she’ll start staying asleep in there longer and longer.

Lol, bullshit.

Tell him he has 2 weeks to get his act together or you’re going to a divorce attorney. Men only seem to understand how serious a situation is when a woman threatens divorce; they don’t listen otherwise.

Same.

There’s no world in which spanking children is not abuse and you’re still the asshole here 🤷🏻‍♀️

Because he’s asking how to overcome the issue. He needs to figure out how to make his wife happy while also being happy himself. So either he pays for more cleaning or childcare, or he does more of the work, but he can’t keep the status quo if he wants to overcome the issue.

Lol. Comments like this one are just further proof that you’re an abusive parent 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you can’t handle a comment on the internet without resorting to being an asshole, then you clearly can’t handle kids.

If one is never okay with changing for the good of the partnership, that person should not be surprised when their partner decides to end the partnership 🤷🏻‍♀️

No one believes that you stop with safety issues. Stop abusing your children.
