Yes my mother smoked with me & i think drank too,but i never got the chance to ask her for any parenting advice because she passed 6 months after we were married.
And my mother n law passed 3 months prior to daughter being born and she was old school,didnt talk about stuff to me..
That's sadly true,i feel guilty bad because asthma runs in the family on both sides,my brother had it,husband,stepson & daughter have it..
@missliterallywho I remember seeing some news cast from the 70s or 80s with a tobacco exec talkin about smoking causing low birthweight and saying “what mother wouldn’t want a smaller baby?!”
That sounds familiar!
My wife and I both think our baby girl is gonna be a big one
Natural is the plan
Thats rare,my daughter was 6lbs even & I did,both my stepkids were huge though,1 was 10.2,the other 9.7.
Dang
Try to keep it natural if you can I tried.
I saw a woman do a water birth and said it felt great, blew my mind!
Daughter was natural,both stepkids had to be cessarian after hours of trying natural. Same with my stepdaughter too,she had to go cessarian.
Unfortunately i had to have the meds,i had excruciating back labor
That was also prior leading up to years later having spinal surgeries too,so made it worse.
Honestly i don't remember @missliterallywho
She is 21 now,so hopefully down the road i will have more grandkids from her,help carry the line.
Yes it is @missliterallywho
Well thats good,bet your starting to get really antsy! Lol
Are you nesting,cleaning like crazy? Lol
Lol ya crunch time indeed!
You better have it ready! Lol😉
I miss that Cali weather. Florida’s been like mid 90s with hellacious humidity lately!
Oh wow,no car seat yet? That was 1st priority i always made sure to get grandkids & daughter. Not easy with bowling ball in 85 heat lol😂
That humidity would kill me,does sometimes in the valley,i hear how bad it is there in Florida,yuck,! Hang in there!
Gonna finish eating dinner,good talk. If you need some other advice later,dm me. You can do this,i have faith in you!!!😁😀❤
Your welcome hon,anytime! @missliterallywho You too! @Grossly Incandescent
Thanks @celticflame !

@missliterallywho my first two are July and August babies. My wife did everything she could to avoid that again and our third was born in February. I feel for ya in the heat.
Just saw this on twitter!
Anyone read any of the Tuttle Twins books... I have a few and want a parents perspective on them.
I like them for explaining in simple terms complex economic topics...but have any of you had experience with educational material like this?
I haven’t heard of those but definetly looks interesting. The most recent book we have read as a family with my two oldest kids is a book by a retired navy seal named jock I willink. The title of the book is way of the warrior kid. It is an excellent book.
Marc had a terrible year in fifth grade: he can’t swim or do pull-ups, doesn’t know his multiplication tables, and is being terrorized by school bully Kenny. But Marc’s uncle Jake, a Navy SEAL, will be spending the summer with Marc and his mother, and once he arrives, he begins training Marc to be a “Warrior Kid.” The training is both physical and mental, and chapters are dedicated to principles such as living by a code, early morning workouts, and discipline (“Discipline equals freedom” screams one page in giant capital letters). Marc embraces his uncle’s guidance, gets stronger, and starts sixth grade confident and able, even standing up to and reaching out to Kenny in a too-neat conclusion. Willink, a leadership instructor and retired SEAL, places worthwhile emphasis on physical activity, mental sharpness, and hard work. But Marc’s dismissal of his mother’s ability to help him because, “a lot of the time it seems she just doesn’t understand me” (in part because “she works a ton”) is a disappointing stereotype, and Bozak’s b&w line drawings don’t add much to the boy’s journey. More treatise than fully developed story. Ages 8–12. (May)

This might be a really dumb idea, but I was thinking the other day about the state of children's media. It's all very promoting of negative traits and multicultural society.
Would making kids books be a nice idea? We could use old stories of European heroics like Siegfried and the dragon. Some simple art and I bet it would be desirable.
Amazon has a kids book designer app. Draw pictures, scan them. drop in text, and it it’s good to be published.
@micbwilli I think it would be great. I mostly re use books from my childhood for my kids. But something new and fresh would be great.
