More Calvin and Hobbes strips in @missy 's posts.
I’m pretty confident that at some point in 2025 my baby will sleep through the night consistently. He’s 6 months old and has been mostly waking up every 2 hours to eat overnight. We had like 1 week of 1 wake up/ night. I don’t believe in sleep training/ cry it out so I’m just along for the ride.
I hope you have lots of support! That’s a difficult time and people forget how hard it is on parents, especially mothers. Wishing you the best, and please reach out if you need anything or just need to talk to grownups for a bit. (I’m pretty sure there’s a FB community that’s searchable but you didn’t hear that from me.) Sending love and hugs!

Omg this haha. I'm looking forward to going back to work so I can have a hot meal and toilet breaks. My baby is 9 months and still doesn't sleep through. I too don't believe in sleep training. It will get better though I promise. My 3yo is sleeping pretty well now.

I hope it happens for you soon! Reading about all these unicorn babies sleeping through the night as early as 8 weeks makes me so jealous. The sleep deprivation is so hard. I’m in the US so I went back to work 10 weeks postpartum. It sucked but atleast I can catch a little nap on my lunch if needed.
I'm looking forward to my daughter getting a place of her own at the end of the school year (she's a teacher.) We encouraged her to live at home the past few years so she could save up for her Master's degree, but this house is too small for 3 adults to be comfortable. We all agree it's time.
My sons wedding, my other 3 childrens imminent engagements (my kids are all close in age) and the birth of my first grandchild. I am so excited!
Has she completed her Masters?
LOL no, she hasn't started it. She was trying to decide what she wanted it in, plus her first year of teaching (middle school kids in a very disadvantaged area) without a proper curriculum was very challenging. Fights in classroom, having to contact multiple parents every day/evening; she was wiped out. This is her 2nd year and she is finally coming up for air. Some administrative changes were made (a new curriculum, and locking cell phones in Yondr pouches --which helped with classroom behavior) but there are still students getting suspended for fighting and sometimes when she calls the office for help, no one picks up.
I think she will start on her MA next year, once she is on her own in her own quiet environment and space to spread out. She will have saved enough money that she won't have to take out a loan. Eventually she wants to teach high school.
2024 was really rough for me and I'm still going through it however…..
Our oldest is graduating high school this year! He is planning on a career in law enforcement and we are so proud of him.
