Best mom cars

I’m due with #3 and my Explorer isn’t going to work anymore. What do you recommend? I personally love SUVs. Would like to be able to tow a camper too! Big trunk, bench seats and dual moonroof are must haves! Would like something with cabin talk or the back seat cameras if possible.

My son is 18months and his pinching and hitting got worse. At first we would tell him not to do that in a very serious way and it worked for a while.

Watching your child grow up

Why is it SO hard and emotional watching your child grow up ? I’m in tears all the time anymore. He’s only 3 but everything is changing and I don’t know how to cope with it. He’s my only one. I feel like anxiety all the time about it
