i am planning a trip to wdw. my son will be just 2 and my daughter will be 8 months. i am going to bring a double stroller, and am trying to decide between my side by side or front/back one. any suggestions?
hi amy, welcome to the moms panel! i can tell you that i put a lot of miles on our double stroller during our visits to walt disney world with infants and toddlers. personally, i prefer the front-to-back double stroller simply because it is much easier to fit through the gates, elevator doors, onto the monorails, down the aisles of the merchandise shops etc. the wider the stroller the more of a challenge this becomes. i'll also mention that if your stroller comes with a rain cover, be sure to bring it. i actually purchased a clear plastic tablecloth to cover ours with in the event of rain. it was helpful because most of the time you need to leave your stroller outside of an attraction, and if it happens to rain before you come out - your things will get wet. i also brought a light blanket to drape over the top of the canopies to offer additional sun protection for the little one (i would put the baby in the back and drape a blanket over the two canopies while they slept). i hope this helps - good luck with your decision!
This is the great conundrum. Should I stay or should I go. Ultimately only your heart can answer this. But I would consider balancing on a two sided scale the weight of a casual fuck and a baby 👶 and then the weight of your family broken up divorce and spending the rest of your time seeing your kids half the time or less and likely being raised by another step dad. I'm not suggesting you choose one or the other. I'm merely suggesting you weigh in the reality of both sides and what they mean in the long run. I feel for you because I've been there and know it's very very hard. You will know what you must do but take a little time to think before making rash decisions.   
I wish you the best. And hope whatever happens you will be happier for those decisions you make. 😔 think about what the difference is between turning the bike up side spinning the wheels and the wheels spinning while riding the bike? it's simple when riding the bike it's bearing weight. it's very possible you could have hub issues.

do as old hippie suggested take the bike to a reputable bicycle shop. my life at this precise moment has been alot better,i got a phone call at 5am this morning from my daughters friends mam (my daughter had gone camping with her friends family)saying that my daughter has been vomiting and isn't feeling very well and my daughter really wants to come home,so i got my mam to baby sit my 3 other children and i drove to wilson's promontory(4 hours drive from me)to get my daughter.i got there fine,but on my way back i vomited and had to pull over for an hour until i felt a bit better to drive.it took 6 hours to get home,as i had to keep pulling over to be sick.when i got home i couldn't wait to get to bed,but when i got home my 3 other children were all in bed vomiting and feeling just as sick,so at the moment i am on here trying to keep myself awake until my husband gets home from work so i can go straight to bed.(keep your fingers crossed for me that my husband doesn't come home sick as well and that every one is feeling better soon. if you can, sleep on your left side. i was always a stomach sleeper so it was hard to get used to. i started propping a pillow between my legs (this is good for your hips too), and one behind my back so it was harder to roll over. this keeps pressure off your aorta so blood keeps flowing to your baby and your own body. if you can't keep yourself on your left side, then sleep on the right side or stomach for as long as you're able. sleeping on your back is the worst position for you. also, if you're pregnancy is causing congestion, put an extra pillow under your head to keep it propped up a bit more. if you're really concerned for a stroke or tia - you might want to discuss s mri with and without contrast as well as an mra. hope that helps! you can't ignore your other child! that's going to cause your younger child to have serious problems later in life. tell your older daughter that you can't abandon your other daughter but that you still love her and want to solve this another way. i can only give you estimates based on what we spend with a family of 4. i am a stay at home mom, my husband commutes about 20 minutes to work and i have a teenage driver (16 year old girl) and a teenage boy with a huge appetite. i am now spending about $200 a week on groceries with two teenagers. gas is costing us about $100 a week. car insurance is about $400 per year. our housing runs about $1,800 per month with insurance. we live in a nice neighborhood but our house is only about 2200 sq. ft. you can definitely get larger homes for less money in a less expensive neighborhood, but i would defintely stay on the east side -- sandy and draper are nice. if you go on the west side, be sure it's southwest -- south jordan, riverton, bluffdale. 

since i'm digressing, i'll just continue on this bent. your better schools are on the east side -- anywhere on the east side. if you want to go north of salt lake, consider bountiful, and fruit heights (good schools, but slightly more expensive) stay away from ogden, woods cross and layton. traffic into and out of davis county is horrendous.

if you go one county south (utah county) you have an excellent school district with alpine. avoid lehi. alpine and highland are lovely little suburbs with great schools and a great atmosphere nestled right up against the mountains. home prices and taxes are higher than other places (like american fork, pleasant grove and orem) but they are very sweet places to live. if you're not mormon i probably would'nt consider them -- they're about 98% mormon. mormons are very nice people typically (i know -- i am one) but you're kids might feel a bit left out not being one of the majority.

ok, back to the topic at hand. if you would like to email me, i would be happy to tell you what we make and how we live, but i'd rather not broadcast that all over the internet. email me at daves\_comet@yahoo.com. i would be happy to answer any questions you may have about moving to salt lake. let's just say that i moved here 20 years ago and i have never found a place i like better. i have lived in many cities in different parts of the world, but this is where i hang my heart.

good luck. look into dr. shettles method, we were just talking on a post about this the other day. he tells you how to have a boy or girl. my son is 7 months. he’s been rolling to his stomach for about a month and a half. if they roll on their own, it’s fine to leave them. just don’t put them down belly first into the crib. that’s from a lot of sids research. infants like adults sometimes need help to go but if they feed regularly and drink extra water the incidence should be monomial so if you are worried just give your infant 4 oz of nursery water a day in addition to milk. see more...
