Following bc same here!!

@Cheyenne I hope somebody let's us know cuz I'm like??? I don't have a baby sitter. My kid don't sleep thru the night. She picky eater, can only nap at home(believe me I've tried naps on the go).

What are the ages

@Shanie my baby goin on 19months. Most ppl o talk to on peanut tgeur kids are between the ages of 16month to 2years old

I have a active one year sleep through the night since I came home with her wake up at 7:45 no later then 8:00 breakfast outside for 30mins back in graces corner 20 mins then play time nap at 2:30 to 5:00 sleep at 8:45 no later then 9:00

@Shanie I got a pretty good schedule for her. Just no energy

We usually do stuff in the morning before nap or wait till after nap. Depending on her mood or mine. I’ll just pack snacks for where ever we go. Then we either do lunch or dinner once we are home. Unless I know the car ride will be over an hour, then I’ll plan her nap around that so she can fall asleep in the car. Some days if we get a short nap or no nap, then bedtime is an hour early.

Weed😂😂😂😂

I pack a lot of snacks and little meals for my son on days where we’re on the go because he’s such a picky eater. He would never eat fast food

@Lauren does he nap on the go? Some reason ppl expect me to have full availability as a sahm

@Jade yeah he does nap on the go, that helps. No mom has full availability loll idk who would think that. It’s definitely 100% about what works best for YOU.

I'm 42 and barely can plan one thing a month let alone a day 😂

I would say I plan my days around my babes naps. But honestly it helps to have friends that are Ok with my child's behavior. So if my baby skips a nap and is cranky I like friends who can be OK with a meltdown at a restaurant or me leaving from the situation if I have to.....we cook & eat together ...I more so hope for the best expect the worst but Just do what works for you and find friends that are considerate

We have 2 parts of the day. Morning (before nap) where we go somewhere in the buggy - to the pond, to see the horses, to the beach and grab a coffee. I’d also go shopping if needed in the morning (with car). We come home for lunch and nap. Afternoon (after nap) when we go somewhere in car - park, farm etc I do either one or both of these everyday. So we get out 1-2 times a day. I feel like it’s just easier to deal with a toddler outside the house. It’s pretty easy just to pack their regular food in a lunchbox if you’re out for the day. We never really do fast food. Maybe Mac Donald’s chips now and then if it’s a very rainy day and we need to get out the house!

I think it also helps to make sure you are doing something for yourself. I recently started going to the gym which seems to give me more energy for the day. And if I’m tired I will nap when my LO naps. Whether it’s in the car or at home. My girl isn’t much of a meal eater but likes to snack all day so I just pack a bunch for when we go to the library or shopping or to the park. Thankfully our library has something every day in the morning and then we come home nap and then play outside in the afternoon. Just don’t forget to take care of you. Having friends that have kids or understand the situation is super helpful too
