At what age do babies sit on their own (no back/sides support)? My 7mo old can sit for brief periods but then tries to move and falls to the side or backwards (so I am usually guard-railing her). She is fine when strapped to the high chair.

Also, at what age so they stand up by holding to a wall? Anything I should be doing to get her to try?

Sitting up such that you’d leave them alone on a tile floor with worrying that they’ll crush their heads? 8-9 months probably?

Cruising around holding the couch? 8-11 months maybe?

Mostly don’t worry so much - if someone looks way off, talk to your doctor, but almost all of them go at different speeds for different things.

Our first barely talked, then at 21 months said “Mommy! Take this diaper off!” Nearly fell over.

You’re doing great :)

Relax. Everything comes at different speeds. No need to hurry, you’ll enjoy all the different things they do in their own time. And almost every new achievement you push for (eg walking) brings new perils too.

As others said, don’t worry too much about it. I’ve got 5 kids, and each hit their ‘milestones’ at pretty different times. Obviously ask your pediatrician if you’re really concerned.

We often put a Boppy pillow around ours at that age when she was sitting on the floor. Gave us peace of mind that you don’t have to dive to catch her when she falls, but encourages the muscle growth from practicing sitting unassisted. I remember feeling like it was taking forever for her to “get it”, but eventually it just clicks!

Mommy. Take this diaper off. Poor baby needed to get it off.

If you want a baby to talk, keep the diaper on for longer than comfortable.

You’re fine. This is obviously your first child

Pretty useless comment.

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

I’m hosting family from America in my home in Europe this week. Being away for just a couple of years has made me really aware of American tendencies. They’re fat and literally are only always thinking of their next meal. We can eat, and they want to talk about dinner. They always complain about their knees and feet even though they’re also only in their mid thirties. I’ve decided to no longer host friends/family from America because it’s always like this 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫃🏼

One of ex’s friends who is I met twice, has been in touch, him and his wife, like commenting on some of my posts occasionally (we are just fb friends and IG friends). I never saw them since. Then the friend texts asking if I am seeing someone and that he wants to set me up with someone. He felt awkward doing that, I thanked him for thinking of me, but then he said we all told your ex he is an idiot for letting you go and they asked my ex it they could still be touch with me and he said yes.
