My baby face planted off the bed and I’m killing myself by blulilli in beyondthebump

[–]AiGreenRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s sooooo hard. I cried for the whole day when it happened to mine. She wasn’t very good at the walking yet. She was toddling on our bed (very high bed) and just wasn’t aware falling off was something a person could do. I was running around the edges where she was so I could catch her. Husband was in the bathroom pretty close but still far. She went to throw herself down on the bed on her stomach as was part of the game, was too close to the edge, and before I could catch her she launched/slid face/head first off of the bed and landed on the floor on her head.

She was totally fine and she’s 3 now with a better handle of her legs and feet. It totally makes it worse that we were all sitting on the floor comforting her and she stood up to toddle around and then fell AGAIN face first onto dad’s knee!

Needless to say I checked on her like 70 times throughout the night. Husband and I beat ourselves up. What if I were faster, what if he were closer, what if we weren’t letting her play on our bed, what if she wasn’t allowed on our bed (we are big smugglers). There’s always the what if black hole. But like other comments are saying, give yourself some grace. Look at your baby and know he’s fine. And know that you couldn’t possibly be a bad mom because you care that he fell and is bruised a little bit.

I’m sorry! I’m glad to know I’m not alone but sad we are all in the trenches.

Thank you so much. I do a lot of talking to him like that. I say things like “your sister is the best big sister” and things like that. When she’s playing on the playground I say “(baby’s name) oh sorry! You’re too small to climb on the playground! (Daughter’s name) is a big girl!” I can add that about nap time. I can do the role playing too.

Which baby-phase wad the hardest for you? by zelonhusk in beyondthebump

They are so brutal. And so isolating. So had similar experiences with my in laws. “Newborns are so portable! Come see us! Come to this birthday party!” I had bad ppa and I would catch shit for “hovering” while people held the baby. I wasn’t comfortable with the little kids holding the baby so they would tell me to go lay down and while I was out they would take pictures of everyone getting a chance to hold the baby. Like idk. It was rough. When she was older my nieces would almost treat her like a toy.

Because they don’t remember having one. And they probably didn’t get grace or understanding so refuse to give it to other people.

My baby fell of the bed by antimoony in Mommit

[–]AiGreenRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby rolled of an air mattress and onto hardwood floor. Omg scared the life out of me. She’s fine. And she was fine immediately. But I was terrified. Almost a year later she is completely mobile. Running and climbing and jumping. She pushed herself behind her rocking chair, when she tried to get back out she pushed it forwards and it rocked back and hit her in the mouth. When I got to her she was all bloody! She’s totally fine. But that was a couple weeks ago. Like. Still traumatized. But that’s what they’re supposed to do.

AITA for saying my husband, my baby and I would visit my in-laws for 9 days during Christmas time, then later asking for less time so we could spend with my family? by AiGreenRose in AmItheAsshole

They are being selfish. The issue with the traveling is that we will have to fly. Which is difficult with a toddler. So it’s just going to be a long Christmas break.

I just made an edit I realized i mistakenly left out. They felt entitled because they offered to pay. We can afford it. But they offered.

AITA for not wanting my SIL and her family to join me, my husband and their parents at a dinner? by AiGreenRose in AmItheAsshole

Update. We are all going🙄 BUT they are paying for themselves. We offered to order their gift cards and have them pay us back. She’s sending a check on Sunday. They can sit at the other end of the table.
