I’m SO sorry about your struggles in recovering from the birth of your son! I feel like atypical PP recovery isn’t talked about enough, so thank you for bringing it up. I really hope you can eventually heal and resume your more active lifestyle. Hugs!

Screen time from 5-6 every day sounds amazing for me and them. I’m trying it! 🙂

I feel you in thinking things should be easier by now. I have an almost 7YO and am constantly amazed that we are *still* dealing with certain difficult behaviors. I’m sure it’s hard to be out with your son when he is isn’t acting like a typical 5YO, but you DO have a right to be out there doing whatever it is you want to do. People just need to deal! And you have an awesome growth mindset. 🙂

I was going to say… LUCKY! 🙂

Congrats on the eating wins and your twins adopting parenting duties! That’s huge. But ugh, I’m sorry about the swearing. My young kids have all picked up the F word and it’s so hard. They will say it over and over until I can redirect them. I feel so powerless and would be open to any advice here!

This is a lovely insight. I, too, feel a bit overwhelmed with my four young ones, but I’m trying to embrace how it’s forcing me to truly prioritize my time. And as I feel myself stretching and growing (and occasionally breaking down), I’m reminding myself that it’s all part of the beautiful chaos that is this stage of life.
