Hey gang, flying 10 hours overnight with a 2yo. He’ll have his own seat. What is the best way to make this? Recommendations on specific car seat, toddler bed, something else? TIA!!!!

Melatonin and hire a nanny to sit with him while you sit in first. You’ll be in my prayers. Seriously though melatonin.

If you’re flying in economy, get yourself a jet pack suitcase. My girl loved it and esp being dragged through the airport. The suitcase top turns over to extend the economy seat into a full flat bed. Life of luxury for the little one.

2yo is too big toddler bed. I used the cheap cosco seat multiple times, it’s skinny, so guaranteed to fit and easy to carry. Would also get either a backpack carrier or a small light foldable stroller so you have a place to restrain your kid while keeping hands mostly free.

If the flight is overnight then hopefully your kid will sleep, but plan on bringing lots of little snacks and toys that can occupy them. Honestly post-it’s or stickers are great for that.

Of course iPad can help out too.

Melatonin is safe for kids? This is news to me. Truly wasn’t aware but almost seems like the easy way out.

Sticker books worked well for us

He’s 20 months old. No Disney for now, attention span doesn’t last more than a couple of cocomelon videos

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant
