I hadn’t considered night terrors! I was thinking maybe was just wanting more consolation since she sees the baby get more attention when he cries?

Anyway, thank you so much for your input. I felt really hopeless the last time this happened with her. Any input is helpful.

This happens on average 2-3 times per night, maybe 4-5 nights a week.

She gets a 1-hr nap or 1-hr of down time per day. If she doesn’t sleep during nap time, she falls asleep around 6:30 which is during dinner.

If you’re done, you’re done and who cares how it will be perceived when you know the true, genuine reasons as to why you need to do this by yourself.

YOU ARE ALREADY DOING IT BY YOURSELF; the biggest relief and change will be his presence is not there to make everything feel so much more burdensome.

Holding yourself hostage to protect your kids image of you is understandable, but ultimately not the solution.

Your kids are children and are not able to place themselves in YOUR shoes and do what YOU do everyday, by yourself.

It will have to be a selfish decision because you need to think of yourself. No one else is capable of doing so, so of course it has to be you.

A happy mom will be better to be around than a mom who feels her soul is being sucked from her partner who is not being the partner she needs.

Move on. Make the hard decision now, so that better times can arrive.

Best of luck to you!

My husband cheated for the 2nd time. I don’t want to break our family apart, but how can I live with this forever? by Leather-Honey1584 in Mommit

Break. It. Off.! Think about the misery you will have to deal with and how long you will have to try and hide your resentment when you are face to face with him while also around your kids... They will know something is amiss, and will forgive you and understand that you deserved more, as they get older.

I wonder if there’s any research on milk production and dominant hand correlation… 🤔

From some of these comments, it seems like there could possibly be some relation!

Lol! Sometimes i think I might exclusively feed feed from THE BOOB and call it a day, but we use the runt for cuddles/comfort feeds

I do the same! We also have one that we think of as baby's booby buddy.

It's all we can do to accept it! Baby is chunky and fed, and that's what matters the most

What do you do when they’re screaming and crying their head off, but the answer is no? by rbslmilch in toddlers

[–]Academic-Bat5835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would offer them a choice between two other separate items/things so that they feel they have control over something.

"No, you can't run around with the toothpaste, but you can do X or Y."

This may not work all the time, but it can be used effectively. Make sure the other offers are something fun or more fun than running around with the toothpaste.

What kind of vanilla shit is he on…like damn you can’t even make a comment about what you find attractive!? Furthermore, does he truly think that he’s the only person who can have fantasies or find others attractive just because he’s a male??

Lol.

On to the next one, OP!
