All the Tea

Do y’all feel this intense dread and nausea when breastfeeding? It only lasts for like 30seconds

My 3 year old humps her stuffed animal to fall asleep. She does this at home AND at daycare. Do I need to make her stop at daycare and still allow it at home? I don’t want to shame her. But I also want her to associate anything with her privates as something that should happen in a private space. Help!

Needing a really good book to listen to. I like historical fiction the most. No sci fi - no thrillers. Been on a streak of not so great books so I want something you would read more than once.

I knowwwww my kids should do chores but I’m utterly exhausted and it’s one more battle I’m not sure I’m up for fighting. Any good systems to get things going?

What would be the most perfect 1st trip to Europe? 10+ days. Where & when? Hotels, agent? Just me and hubby

Hi! So many of my fiends have added Chaga Mushrooms to their morning routine after working with a functional medicine doctor. What does this help with? Also looking for a functional expert to chime in on other things I could add to my routine (electrolytes, trace minerrals power pack, omegas??). What else do we need to function as a Power Mom these days lol.

How do you make friends?! I have 3 kids so it’s been chaotic to say the least. I am not an extremely extroverted person but I am so lonely. I long for finding a group of girl friends who “get” me- a village that helps each other & is there for the highs & the lows.

How do we block YouTube on all devices including TV? It’s so weird and my kids all end up there even with rules. We can’t take the tv away completely bc we use it sometimes while we are getting tasks done.

I know you love your husband and so do I. I’m not considering getting a divorce but sometimes I wonder if I married the right person. Did I get married too young? Idk, I love him I just don’t know if it would be different if we met later in life.

Hi! Has anyone. had a tummy tuck? Good or bad experience, pros and cons? Would love all feedback!!

Has anyone had the mommy makeover? I’m now 3 years postpartum after 4 kids and the stomach is…not the vibe anymore. If you’ve done it, is it worth it? How do you navigate explaining this and your recovery to young kids?

Hi! Our little girl was put on a steroid inhaler "flovent" after having a few respiratory viruses and RSV. We worked with a pulmonologist and he recommended flovent 2 times daily. I did it for awhile, but I do NOT want my 9 month old on a steroid for the next 2 years. When asked about weaning, he was very defensive and tried to make me feel bad and not recommend it. Hoping someone has had experience with Flovent and getting off of it!!

I started using the skinceuticals CE Ferulic after Xmas. It’s fabulous but it’s $180 per bottle and I’m already out so I’m looking for a more affordable alternative.

Hi! Our 6 year old son was sick for a full week out of school, and then the week ended with us having to put down our cat. Since the news of the cat going to heaven, he has completely changed. There is so much ANGER in him, and screaming at us, saying mean things being mean to his sister. HELP!!! Hoping to find a solution with a fine line of balancing boundaries, and also teaching him how to express his emotions. It seems to be that his anger is due to sadness. Is this normal????

What does your morning routine look like as working parents with two under two who attend daycare. We cannot get out of the door on time and I hate starting our days like this.

Thinking about the stresses of society demanding 4-5 year olds are in club sports (t ball, soccer, gymnastics) when I am not ready as a mom to start that.

Have I ruined my kids by yelling? I hate that I do it, they just don’t listen and I get to my breaking point.

Need advice! My little Picasso scribbled pen all over my car with a very heavy hand. I’ve tried alcohol, vinegar and acetone(nail polish remover) and it’s not making a difference. Anyone deal with this before and had any luck?

My son has hit the weight for a booster seat but not the age. Does anyone know if this is an “either or” or an “and” situation? We’re in Texas.
