Welcome to MomBrain

I don’t like TV, so the show must not be slow and hook me early on. Also a plus if it’s not 10 seasons long haha! Looking for a few good shows to watch with my husband —

Any moms have a good therapist they like who takes insurance? In austin tx but virtual is ok too!

Has anyone found success being screen-free in the evenings? Like...parents, kids, teens...everybody. We're all face-first in our phones once 5PM hits (guilty too) and missing out on the ONE time of day when we're all together. Tips to get everyone on board?

Tell me some favorite (not Kidzbop) Spotify stations for elementary kids, specifically 5 year old girl and 8 year old boy. One more round of Uptown Funk might send me over the edge. 🤪

Looking for a good, affordable option for a smart watch to help me keep tabs on where my kids are. I have heard good things about the gizmo. Any suggestions welcomed!

Hi! We are looking to purchase a 3rd row SUV and would love advice! I had a highlander but have 3 kids, and car pool with sports so the trunk space was VERY limited! Would love to hear what others are driving and loving and why!

Curious how people pay babysitters if they are staying overnight. Do you pay the same rate for when the kids are asleep? Flat rate?

What’s your go-to, quick, easy and yummy dinner?

I have avoided introducing this to my kids, but my 6 year old is asking why other kids have had elf on the shelf and if the elf is coming this year. They talk about it at school I guess. I really don’t want to do it….I feel like it’s just another distraction from what this season is about plus the time/energy component. Any advice?!

At what age were you able to put your toddler to bed, put them in, and leave the room and they go to sleep themselves? We’re currently laying next to them on the floor while they fall asleep and I am hoping one day we can stop this. We tried the leaving and putting to bed around 4 months ago and it was a massive emotional fail.

Planning a Disney World Trip with the kids - when is the best time to go, places to stay and all the Do's and Don'ts!!!

Hi! I have a four year old and he has been in the Nuna Rava car seat. He is starting to complain about it being too small. When do you move to a booster seat vs a full car seat.

Hi! Looking for a recommendation of a great front loading washer and drying- is there even such a thing as good ones anymore?!

I switched to top loader which worked great, but new house needs front loader again! Our old ones got so much mold in them and the clothes started to smell. HELP - because we all know there ain’t no time for not having a washer / dryer!!

In need of an easy breakfast option for my kids for school mornings. We are in a major rut and I need to change it up!

6 year old getting his tonsils out, please send all the tips!! How can we best prepare for this?!

My son has a fear of getting his blood drawn, mostly the fear is of the pain. Any tips or tricks?!

I’ve tried everything - sneaking them in, making them different ways, covering them in cheese, etc. I feel so guilty but is this normal and should I actually be worried? We did start a daily vitamin gummy which makes me feel slightly better.

Hi! My 5 year old cleans to self regulate. He’ll vacuum the car, make his siblings beds and during free time at school he likes to sweep. He feels so much better when things are tidy! And also feels very yucky when things are messy or dirty. He literally lugs our huge vacuum up the stairs on weekends and vacuums everything. Our car is the cleanest minivan a mom of 3 kids 5 and under has ever seen! I have two other kids (and he’s a twin) so I believe it’s just in his nature and hoping it’s not me, but at what point do I need to be concerned about OCD tendencies? Anyone else have kids obsessed with cleaning? Or have older children who grew out of this phase? No idea what to tag this lol

I know nothing about Minecraft, but my daughter is obsessed with having this game on her iPad. My husband turned off chat feature etc. but I’m still uneasy. Is this game appropriate for a 1st grader? We limit iPad time to one day per week for specified amount of time.

First time mom here-I have a 7.5 month old who is generally a great sleeper and now I’m all worried her schedule will get messed up with the time change. What is y’all’s best idea on navigating daylight savings with kiddos since it is coming up next week? Thank yall in advance!
