Thoughts on continuing to send toddler first born to daycare during the 1-6 week timeframe with second while both parents are at home for most part (first 5 weeks) ? I think we like idea of having that period during the day to focus on newborn but also feel some guilt about being home and not doing full unit bonding. Our provider is great and very flexible to all options but just trying to figure out what might work best for us.

What am I doing to lead my family? - Just surpassed 3 years free of alcohol. I’ve committed to my wife and girls to keep the house managed; grocery shopping & meal planning, daily cleaning and hiring cleaners, dishes laundry and pet care. My wife manages finances and house scheduling. Thoughts on raising children with future in mind? - First and foremost my wife and I are committed to breaking generational traumas that we were raised in & take the burden of holding healthy boundaries when needed. - I have committed this year to sharing positive things about other family members to my children and wife. Encouraging everyone to look for the good in people and recognize them for their effort.

Sitting in the hospital chair holding the baby while she sleeps for the second 1/2 of the night so mommy can get some sleep. Took us from 11 (after Michigan won the championship… GO BLUE!) to realize she isn’t hungry or fussy, she’s just a cuddle bug and wants to be held to sleep. So now, mommy is getting some sleep while I work on courses. #angelsintheoutfield

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. This season has been wicked busy. Just wanted to say thank you for Module 4, wow. I love each module more than the last. I want to comment on all of it, but one part that was really practical for our family was the session on caring for multiple kids. We have four kids and it was encouraging (and convicting) to get some good reminders and tips about how to get good "quality over quantity" time with each of them. Tonight, I had all four kids pick a spot in our oldest's room and work on a sticker book thing they love while I read them a story about George Müeller (the thief, swindler, liar turned missionary). They are LOVING the story and it was great family time.
