Can any of you guys reccommend a good kid friendly pet that doesn't bark a lot? We don't really want a small dog- I guess maybe a medium sized one?View Thread



We have two boys (one who is almost 3 and the other just turned 1). My SO decided 2 weeks ago that he wasn't happy and that he didn't love me and he was done trying. It is very painful, but I am trying to hold it together around the boys. We lived rent free in a house owned by his parents. The boys each have their own room. His parents advised us to keep the boys there every night so they can have the stability of their own beds and we would switch off every night. I guess this sounds better than it works. I would love for my boys to be able to sleep in their own beds every night, but it is just too painful for me to be in that house full of so many memories.
We both love our boys very much and we can't stand to be away from them but we have to figure out another way. I am going to get an apartment somewhere nearby I guess (even though the closest ones are not in good neighborhoods). I know I am going to struggle with bills and everything, but it's better than staying somewhere different every other night. I wanted my boys to grow up in a home with two loving parents, but I guess they will just have to have two homes with one loving parent in each.View Thread





Anyway, what I was trying to say as that the first few months are definitely the hardest. I think things should ease up for you pretty soon. Especially when your youngest starts to hit some milestones. We all feel overwhelmed sometimes. No one is a perfect parent. You just do the best you can and never be afraid to ask for a little help ever once in awhile. That's what family and friends are there for! I would go crazy if the grandparents didn't come get the kids ever once in awhile! Hope you feel better soon!View Thread
