“What did you spend $100 on at target?” - husband

Me- “ it’s Christmas silly, I can’t tell you! It’s a surprise! tehehehe” … it was all shit for myself. Every bit of it. There is no surprise. Tis the season 🤭

How happy are you in your marriages after kids?

Just curious.

I jus had my baby 11/28/22 and he’s already drinking 4oz

I’m crying so hard rn he’s been eating more and sleeping longer and the hospital said 2-3 hours and he supposed to eat 2oz but he’s been more hungry and I jus feel like I’m doing something wrong

Tips for administering vitamin D/probiotic drops for breast fed baby-FTM

Our girl is 3 weeks. Pediatrician said we should be giving her vitamin D/ probiotic drops in her mouth while she is breastfeeding. Does anyone have success with this? I every morning she spits up shortly after I put the drops in her mouth while she is eating. How to you help them keep it down?

What small thing did you discover post-baby that makes you irrationally angry?

Every night I pump at 7 and again at 9:30. I get incredibly sleepy at 8:30 and sometimes snooze on the couch for a bit. Waking up to pump at 9:30 gets me so freaking angry. I pity my partner on these nights 😅

I quit. I'm done. fuck this.

I'm 8 months into an 18 month maternity leave, my son was born 5.5 months ago, but I took off early because I wasn't well enough to work through the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy. I've been home with my 3y old daughter and now my 5m old son. My husband is a construction worker who works 12h days. And I quit. I want to trade off. I'm done being a SAHM. I hate being a SAHM. I'm sick of my hair being pulled like rope every waking moment of the day, I'm touched out and overstimulated 24/7. My ILs visited on the weekend and my FIL botched about my cooking and my BIL vomited in my daughters room. Then just now I was picking up laundry and found a large human shit in the laundry. My daughter is not toilet trained, but she wears diapers so I don't know where this shit came from. We have cats, but I'm a PSW, it's literally my job to clean shit. I know human shit when I see human shit.

Rewarding your child's positive behavior may seem like a good idea. But after reading this article you may see this parenting tactic in a different light. Plus learn what you can do instead! https://t.co/mR1tiJBZGS #parentingtips #behavior https://t.co/jo3Et2AEn6

my boyfriend went out of town and now I can't stand him.

My boyfriend/son's dad was out of town for 5 days. It didn't feel that different not having him here. I did all the things I have to do every day anyway because he doesn't. Except... I also didn't have someone else making messes behind me every time I clean something, I didn't have someone making jokes about me all day and every time my son needed something I did it with zero feelings of resentment about another adult being in the house who could have been doing the thing instead. I felt happier and less anxious. I was ALONE! He came home early. I was supposed to be relieved. Today, the day he kept off work to help me get caught up and relax, he's fucking sleeping on the couch while I work and do everything for our son. Breakfast, lunch, every cleanup, every diaper change. I kind of just wish he would leave again.

What do I do if my Fiance doesn't want our kids to get the covid vaccine?

As the title says my fiance doesn't want to get our kids vaccinated for covid. She claims that the vaccine is worst than covid and that there hasn't been a lot of testing for it to be safe. Whenever I try to discuss that getting the vaccine is important and will be beneficial to us and the kids she gets angry and says that we aren't having that conversation anymore. My daughters are 2 years old and 7 years old. We're also in Indiana if that helps just in case only one parent needs to consent for the vaccine but I would prefer to try and work things out before going behind her back like that.

My boyfriend is watching the baby

What is time?

Is it just me or does time seem insane after having a baby? My LO is about 4 months old and it feels like he was born a century ago but also yesterday? And it feels like a completely different person gave birth to him. I am remade. Who was I before him? Idk? Granted I was in the process of finishing school when I had them so that probably adds to my odd feeling timeline. Idk being a FTM is almost like a psychedelic trip. Life is crazy.
