My baby just hates naps and will cry constantly. We’re okay with letting him cry it out but he’s fully capable of crying for a straight 45+ minutes, thus eliminating the nap anyway...any help?

Not sure if you just put him down in the crib or if you rock him to sleep. Getting a particular ritual and sticking to it to signal sleep helps. When it gets out of hand, walking around in a stroller, or just taking a drive helped us..

For our babies, when it's near nap time we will swaddle them and lay them down in a public area where we all are, like the corner of a couch. Then once they start looking groggy, we'll transition them to the crib. It helps them not go from high activity to nap time easier.
Good luck!

I would highly recommend giving swaddling a try. “Swaddleme” swaddles are awesome! We also try to create a calm period before nap time. Basically going into their room with it darkened and quiet. This has been much more effective that going from general high energy areas straight to nap time. We also have 4 kids so our house can be highly energetic so this may not apply as much to you.

Some baby also just hate naps. My first hated naps. I’d have to rock him for 20 minutes just for him to get a 30 minute nap. My second baby sleeps like a champ.

Our boy had reflux so we would put him in a rocker on an incline which seemed to help. We also used a sound machine to help define the sleep environment

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I know that the memo rescinding DACA was ultimately vacated—but OC is unsure whether this would count as voluntary unemployment for child support purposes. I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?
