Of course it’s ok!!

How wonderful!! We had a similar experience, my baby was so happy to be surrounded by his cousins. It’s such a change from our quiet house and I was so relieved he loved it instead of being scared.

My husband and I almost never argued until our son was born. Our relationship is still strong, but it’s definitely harder! But as you say it’s good to learn and grow and conflict can definitely do that for you if you both have the right mindset.

Our 5 month old went on his first overnight road trip and he did great! I was so worried he would scream the entire car ride and refuse to sleep in a new place, but he did great with both!

Agree the recaps are unnecessary, if I wanted to know what was in Hot Flash I would subscribe to it. But I don’t, so I don’t.

Yeah I just ignore most of it. The perfect is the enemy of the good and it damages my mental health. Maybe that’s a weaksauce answer, but I can’t be a good mother unless my anxiety is under control.

Ask if they want it first. Have a conversation about it where you genuinely seek to understand what’s going on from their perspective and what they are already doing to solve it. THEN ask if they want your help or advice before giving it.
