Welcome to MomBrain

No more fighting it - I need a sweet treat every night. What are yall indulging in? Trying to keep calorie count /nutrition profile in mind. (Protein powder OK too). I love a yogurt set up and dark chocolate but need some more ideas. Also single serve is best so I don’t eat everything in one night!

Give the good, the bad, and the ugly on Ozempic? I’m really tempted to start but nervous. I have about 20ish lbs to lose to feel comfortable again

At what age do you allow your kid to have their first sleepover with a friend??

We just got the dreaded lice email from school. Freaking out. What do I need to know/do?? Helppppppp

Alright mamas, what’s the deal with party favor bags—do we have to do them? Do your kids expect them? We usually toss ours within 24 hours, but I know the kids are always itching for them at the end of a party. I’ve done PEZ dispensers and lollipop holder characters before, and was thinking character ring pops this time… but my husband swears the kids want the full bag. Any ideas for favors that won’t get tossed? It’s for a 6 y/o boy!

Hi! Looking for the best swimsuit to suck in my postpartum csection pooch. Wish I was asking for a friend…

Looking to cut down (possibly out) on alcohol in 2025. Any advice or tips/tricks? I feel like there’s a lot out there now for the soberish

Hi Austin moms, how much do you pay your housekeeper, and what does she do for that amount?
For example-
Mondays $225 whole house takes 4ish hours (2ppl)
Thursdays $130 2ish hours and that’s a tidy plus washing and folding and putting away laundry.

Now that we’re settling into our life as a family of 5, there’s just so many piles of stuff everywhere. Our kids are little and require a lot of attention, help, and we have a lot of potty accidents. I realize that it’s time for our oldest child to start doing a little more, but I sort of wish I had our housekeeper come over 3x per week with a solid plan for what to do each time she comes.

I will say- I ordered a Hidden Helper from amazon and the kids have started to help with the dishes more. That thing’s been great.

Tips appreciated.
Thanks moms!

I was not prepared for the amount of tears I’m having while knowing our family is wonderfully complete…I still just cannot believe I’ll never deliver another little baby or feel the first movements, etc. Am
I nuts? I know we’re complete but I am so distraught about it.

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your sex drive?

I have approx. 5 weeks left of maternity leave for my third child. This will be the first time I am returning to work full time in the office (with monthly work travel involved as well).

I know tongue and lip tie releases are performed on babies quite often. Does any one have any experience/feedback on this with a younger child having this done? My 5 yo needs both.

Best protein bar/snack for busy ladies on the go?!? Which brand? Which flavor? Cleanest ingredients would also be great!

Hi! I can tell my kids are all seeking attention from me. Which honestly is exhausting but I know is important.
I'm looking for ideas on how to fill their emotional buckets that are also enjoyable for me. I do not like imaginary play...eeek.
Favorite board games, outside games, crafts, date ideas? Hoping to take advantage of this during Summer months.

Curious as to everyone’s favorite food to bring to the lake/beach? Dips, apps, anything to share. Looking for ideas! Thanks!
