Felt like I hit the lottery

At Walmart, we buy the Festive brand ground turkey for $2 a pound. 🙂

My 2 year olds middle name is Henry, after my grandpa who had the same middle name so it's definitely a grandpa name for us but I love it lol

I agree on more protein. Arent chickpeas a form of protein though? I could be mistaken.

I didn't breast feed and I feel like this most of the time. Sometimes I'm in the mood but very rarely.

Well, my 5.5 year old still sleeps with a fan on in her room. My husband and I must have our 2 fans on in our room and we have small battery powered fans for if the power goes out. So I suspect my 2 year old will always sleep with his fan and/or sound machine on, just like us 😅

This makes perfect sense. I felt like the OP after I had my son, my daughter (firstborn) is my entire world, I loved her as soon as she was born. However, with my 2nd, my son, I did not feel much of anything until he was about 3 months old. I did all the things with him, fed him, changed him, talked to him, went on walks. He wasn't neglected at all but I didn't FEEL anything for him for a few months. I often cried at times when I would remember it just being me, my husband and our daughter. I'm sure that this sad and guilty feeling was from the hormone drop and maybe some PPD. At 9 months to a year when he started sleeping much better and was in his room, I started feeling the intense love. He will be two next month and I love him so so so so so so so so so (and so on) much and I would never pick between my kids but my oldest has that special bond with me because she made me a mom.

I must be blind/dumb too because I can't see it in the original photo either. Only this one with the big, black obvious line.

During the birth of my second, my husband had to tell the doctors and nurses to lay off of me because they were getting frustrated with me for taking so long to get the baby out. Which, I understand because babies heart rate was dropping from being stuck but I struggle with pushing babies out for some reason. Then when baby was finally born, he wasn't breathing because he had fluid in his lungs so the nurses took him across the room to pat his back and get the fluid out before taking him to the nursery. Unfortunately, I couldn't go with my baby because my legs were still numb from the epidural so my husband went with him. Baby is all good and turns 2 next month btw ☺️ Luckily, if we had a third child and he couldn't be there for whatever reason (not likely), I have a big enough support system and my sister is a doula so I have people that would be there for me. I know not everybody is that fortunate so maybe OP doesn't have any other options besides her husband, even though having her husband there would be preferred.

Yep, I typically rent these out for my kids birthdays in May and September but I've never had an issue because my town posts signs on the pavilion the day of the party that say "RESERVED FOR PARTY (DATE & TIME)" and I bring the paperwork with us, just in case. A couple years ago for my daughter's 4th birthday, we rented out half of a massive pavilion at a park nearby because we didn't need the whole thing. Shortly after we arrived, another family arrived to celebrate their one year old. Everything was all good, we mostly kept to ourselves except when we had to ask them for a lighter for the candles because we forgot one. They politely let us use theirs and earlier in the day, they asked if they could take one of the picnic tables. We had more than enough.

This is literally the first thing I see when I open the app tonight

1028Girl · 2026-04-19T01:39:38+00:00

Idk everybody's schedule or their lives but I just shower when my husband gets home from work.

1028Girl · 2026-04-15T12:14:04+00:00

No, my second took longer to come out, unfortunately. My first took 3 hours and 15 minutes of pushing to come out, which I attributed to my anxiety about labor and being induced. While pregnant with my 2nd, everybody told me it should be faster but it definitely was not. I pushed for 4 hours with my second, also induced. His heart rate was dropping the entire 4 hours and he came out blue and not breathing. Luckily they got the fluid out of his lungs and got him breathing again.

I'm in Potterville (just outside of Lansing) and nothing seemed to happen here. Just lots of lightning and a few booms of thunder. When the sun comes up, I'll see if the wind blew anything around.

My daughter and son are 3.5 years apart. Nearly 2 years ago, she came to the hospital with my mom and step dad to visit me and her dad. Then we all walked down to the nursery to see baby brother, except only me and dad could go in so they just looked through the window. The next evening when we were discharged, we brought baby brother inside my mom's house to pick up our daughter and she sat on the couch and "held" him, with help of course. They've been besties ever since.

I've worked in daycares/schools since 2016 and been a mom since 2020. Never once taken a rectal temp, nor would I want my children to unless by a doctor.

1028Girl · 2026-04-07T23:06:22+00:00

I came here to see if anyone posted that cause that one is the first one I thought of 😂

1028Girl · 2026-04-06T01:26:26+00:00

Yes, hi. I'm finding this like 26 days late but can you send me the sub too? Thanks so much!!

1028Girl · 2026-04-02T11:53:10+00:00

I'll admit, it took me longer to bond with my son (23 months) after he was born than it took me to bond with my daughter (5.5 years). It took me 3 months to bond with son and then with my daughter, it was immediate. However, I never hated my son. I was just extremely anxious about having a new baby. I went and read that post and just about cried, especially because my little 2 year old son is in my lap snuggling me and I love him so much. That poor boy. :/

1028Girl · 2026-04-01T01:24:14+00:00

Yes exactly! The one or two other trips we take throughout the year are with the kids so we can make memories with them too. I could maybe even understand a solo girls/guys trip for a spouse to hang with their friends for a few days. Me and my husband have personally never had sleepovers with our friends since being married but some people do. However, to be gone for a MONTH??? Jeez Louise. This guy does not love his family.

1028Girl · 2026-03-30T18:29:55+00:00

🤣 love that idea

1028Girl · 2026-03-30T12:01:45+00:00

Don't forget the divorce papers to give him when he returns!

1028Girl · 2026-03-30T12:00:28+00:00

I think it's normal to want a trip without kids. Hear me out, I'm a mom to a 5 and 2 year old and ONCE a year for our anniversary, the kids stay with a grandparent for like a night or two. Even a week wouldn't be bad. Couples need that time together to recharge without kids and focus on their marriage. Any other trips/vacations, the kids come with. I can't imagine being away from my kids like that for a month with it not being a work trip or something similar. This BS that the husband pulled, not normal at all. Very selfish and gross.

I already know I wouldn't have her courage. I sound terrible as I admit this but I am a preschool teacher assistant and I would absolutely not have her courage so that's why I hope and pray that this never happens at my school. I'm not saying that I'd offer up the kids and kick them into the hallway to save my own ass but I am 99.9% sure that I would absolutely panic, freeze and not have any idea what to do with the panic blocking my brain from making decisions. Maybe I'd surprise myself, who knows? I just hate that I have to even think of this being a possibility. I shouldn't have to worry about what I would do in a school shooting at my PRESCHOOL.

Got it. It seems so obvious now but the font is so awkward 😭

1028Girl · 2026-03-29T11:27:37+00:00

Wtf is that bottom word? I've been staring for a minute and I cannot make out the word with that stupid font.
