Newborn Pictures- Regret

Vent plus tip to share... Struggling with Mom guilt pretty hard-core. LO is 3 months old. I regret not getting professional newborn photos done. We could have afforded them, but husband made a comment of "I really only want to spend the money if you'll actually do something with them." - A dig into the fact that I'm not great with getting pictures printed and framed. In the midst of struggling with PPD, I just gave up on the idea. He was SO tiny! Born 10 days early, but perfect. He's now double what he was at birth, and he's changed so much. We have some pics on our phones of his little face from the first month, but nothing great or likely frame-worthy. I had some cool ideas that would have been lovely. So my advice, get the fucking pictures taken. Or even just do your own "official" photo shoot at home with your phone. I promise you will not regret it.

3 day old still hasn’t pooped

I’ve become an asshole after I became a mom

I don’t like myself anymore. I’m mean to everyone. I said mean things to my husband and never apologized. I feel resentful that he doesn’t understand all the emotions I’m going through. Everyone just asks how the babies are doing. Nobody asks how I’m doing. Today I fantasize about dropping off my daughter to my parents and then drive far far away with my dog, just the two of us like the old days. I don’t know where I want to go. I would turn off the phone and just leave. Would anyone even notice that I’m gone?

Children know better when they are sleepy or hungry; know better the qualities of their friends, their own aspirations and goals, know better the urges and needs within their bodies, whom they love and whom they don’t, what they value and what they don’t. -@alfiekohn, #unschool

What is a "normal" amount of crying?

Hi New Parents! Not sure what I'm looking for here, just on the struggle bus -possibly reassurance or thinking colic? But I'm struggling with the amount my baby scream cries. She is 4 weeks old and I feel like when she is awake she is either eating or wailing... I read about others taking their baby to the store or baby wearing out and about and I'm just wondering, how?! my baby feels like a ticking time bomb between cries. We get away with stroller walks when she naps. She is somewhat consolable so I'm not sure if it's colic...usually a scream fest lasts 15 minutes or so before she's down. But how much does a normal 4 week old cry?? Is it normal to cry almost consistently when awake?

My son (9) has searched for videos of sex on his school pc

I was just looking through his school work as I regularly do and I noticed a bookmark of a YouTube video that said something along the lines of “having sex with my bf pt 1). Now I know he didn’t see anything because I have parental lock on everything he uses and the video didn’t show. Other than that just some mild pg-13 searches nothing like “sex” or “naked” in his history. But I can tell he’s curious and I just have no idea how to handle this. I still see him as my baby and he likes to play mostly innocent games from what I can tell. Should I have “the talk” with him even though he’s so young? I am completely lost and I’ve been dreading this moment from the second he was born. I’m emotional. I’m his father and I’m 30 if that helps with anything

@saba_yazdani We can't seem to get to 'take the best of...and leave the rest' with much of anything! When the shoes don't fit, don't wear them I say. We are so fortunate to live with options.
