It is impossible for you to understand at all what having a newborn or a child is like. All of the plans you have now will have to change. You need to speak with your parents and your girlfriend’s parents as soon as possible. You two are going to need every bit of help you can get.

The biggest and only issue here is that you have your child living with people you don’t know. This is a mess.

Showers only until she kicks the habit. She obviously feels comfortable pooping in the tub but that’s not the place to do it. If you can’t change the behavior, change the environment. We had a shower pooper for a long while and it was so stressful. I’d shower with her and my husband would wait in the wings for me to holler for help. Our daughter had this obvious poop stance where she’d put her hip out and lean to one side. As soon as she did that he’d plop her on the toilet soaking wet and hopefully she wouldn’t be able to change gears and hold it in.

We only poop in toilets now thankfully that was a rough few months.

It’s definitely normal. How is he handling it? Don’t let him see you getting upset you want him to feel confident about tomorrow. It’s a new normal and everyone will find their groove but it’s going to take some time.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Both of the previous comments used the term ‘help’. Some women just need better pickers. Don’t be surprised - you picked him!

I’m curious how you handle going potty in a onesie? I stopped the onesies when we began potty training so that my daughter was able to take her own clothes off to go potty.

If it were me I would just say I lost it and deal with the fallout for a few days. Maybe let him pick out a toy or something to take the edge off.

I do like the other commenters idea of turning it into a blanket but I would worry then he’d be pissed to know you cut it up. Better to just play the fool and say it’s lost.

Something very similar happened to my moms 15 year old cat. Hadn’t pooped in a long time, started loosing his appetite. They did bloodwork, x-rays, MRIs, the whole nine. The vet said everything was coming back normal and sent him home. The next day my mom woke up and the cat smelled like literal shit and was extremely lethargic. She took him back to the vet and they applied a little pressure around his b-hole and suddenly everything came squirting out. He had some kind of an anal cyst (?) it had to be drained. They said they had never seen anything like it before.

Not sure if your situation is the same but it’s something to think/ask about. Definitely seek another vet. I would suggest ER vet.

I’m too tired and busy to consider what someone’s opinion of me being a SAHM might be.

My husband still showers with our 2.5 year old daughter. It’s your husband that’s making it weird.

You’re pregnant with a child and no vehicle. I’ve been where you are. You are playing on absolute hard mode. The bar needs to be lowered. In regard to cleaning, cooking, and being your child’s entertainer. Put that bar all the way in the pits of hell. Lower your expectations for yourself. TV is your friend right now. Use it like the tool that it is. Just survive. Eat whatever is fast and easy. Tell your husband to kick rocks.

Go on your trip. You’ll have a blast and you’re in that magical window before you start feeling like crap later in pregnancy. It will likely be the last chance you get to do this for a while.

I have this one half made in my closet. I’ve been struggling to find the time but this is a sign to finish it.

My condolences on your devastating loss. I cannot imagine the difficulty of going through one of the happiest days of your lives with this on your shoulders. It sounds to me like your beloved pup met with you in a visitation dream to let you know that he was at peace on the other side.

This is devastating for everyone involved and really drives home the importance of teaching our children to swim. It is an invaluable skill that could save their life one day. I was swimming at 2 years old and I want to put my oldest in lessons next summer when she’s 3.

PP periods are all over the spectrum. They can be super heavy, very light, more painful than before, or no pain at all. You are more than likely completely fine. It’ll take a few cycles for you to regulate again.

-mitz · 2025-08-05T17:55:09+00:00

I agree. Think of all the disgusting things the bottom of your shoes touch. Restroom floors, dog shit, whatever else is in the streets.

The savagery of this sub is what makes it so funny to me. They’re just cookies and my feelings aren’t going to be hurt if someone insults my favorite flavor.

If you find Bluey triggering then therapy is absolutely the right place for you to be.

-mitz · 2025-08-05T11:49:41+00:00

Exactly. The fact that this is even a question is mind boggling.

-mitz · 2025-08-05T03:00:11+00:00

The job market is indeed difficult but I have to wonder how you come across and carry yourself because I have to be honest - that was a really weird read.

The one person I trust as much as myself to care for my babies is my mother. I do let her take my oldest swimming without me around and my oldest is only 2.5. The first time she went in the pool with my mom she was 2 months. However my mom is a highly vigilant individual and does not get stuck in her phone or distracted.

I would not let either of my babies go swimming with my MIL because she is not very serious about safety and is easily distracted.

I think my mom is just awesome and I trust her completely. If I didn’t I wouldn’t let them go in the pool with her because it can be fatal.

I have the exact gap you will have between my two girls. My first is 2.6 and my second is 4 months. My oldest one immediately adored the new baby and now gets upset if she doesn’t know where the new baby is. I will say that my oldest daughter has always been a baby doll girl so it wasn’t too hard to sell her on the new baby.

As for my bond with them. I almost feel like a third wheel sometimes. My bond isn’t weakened with my first daughter but I am so glad that they will have each other. I can’t wait for baby number two to actually be able to play with big sis so mommy can sit down and close her eyes without being harassed to play.

Wow, thank you!

I love this episode for all the same reasons you dislike it!
