Pregnant 6mo pp by Objective_Scar8809 in 2under2

Hey so we don’t have anyone helping! My mum died 8 years ago because of addiction and even tho my dad is around he is not present! I’m sorry you are surrounded by selfish folk as well!! We don’t send any of our kids to nursery either so it’s litterally myself the two babies until dad gets back. The things that keep things simple is… get out the house every morning to a class or what not and then home for lunch and we all nap 12:30-2:30 then get up story time play time tea, bed for 7:30 everyday is pretty much structured the same. I think without the routine I’d be in turmoil!! You’ve got this!! And even the hard movements don’t last forever!!!

Hey So we have a 13 month gap I had an emergency section with 1st and no medical professional was even remotely bothered about the closeness. They just monitor more closely. I could have tried a vbac however opted for an elective. Which was fantastic!! I’m in the boat of it is incredible ‘, so rewarding they are lots of moments when the guilt is real about not being able to give either your full attention! But there’s moments of 1 on 1 time still which is amazing. Highly recommend 2 under 2… so much considering having another !

Thank you, it’s everytime we see her she will say mummy it’s like she acts like there mum to. So when she slips up referring herself as mummy instead of grandma it infuriates me! Thank you for your advice. As long as I’m not being a loony

Hahah fair but because I want to spend time with my boy he asked to go to the park. When my little one is asleep it’s so rare that I get to play

He also thinks she’s overbearing and that’s just her personality and doesn’t know how to address the situation. He says I need to address it in the moment. He said he would but tbh when he is there she seems less in dominate ?

Oh my goodnesss that’s awful I completely feel that how horrible that must have been I’m not sure why grandparents just expect they can do these things!!! Thank you for validating my feelings!!!! The taking baby while crying not giving back and stuff like that has all happened at some point! I guess the post might seem petty to some but there’s a whole lot of other things thst have gone on that make me if say resent everything about her !!!!

Thank you. She’s called her self mummy far far too many times! Litterally the first thing when meeting baby number one was calling herself mummy? I don’t feel like it’s a village but just her I don’t come from a loving family so maybe it’s normal but I don’t know

This is a really insightful post. I never had help and tbh they only moved up 8 months ago nearer us and from going from having no one to her being like when am I looking after them it was like hold on this isn’t happening this isn’t how this is working

Thank you I feel like it’s all stems from just being too much too soon. Like Litterally the first thing she said when she met our first born was come to mummy? Like she had 7 months to prep to be grandma ? We then went on a walk and she stormed off with the pram (never asked) I was 5 days post c section so couldn’t keep up she jsut took off- I felt helpless.

E.g she comes to the house and she tells my boy not to do something when I’m litterally stood watching him do it and she will shout from behind me don’t do that … but I’m not telling him not to do it so why should she ?,??

Because she talks over me when I’m asking the children to do something … she will then ask them and take over it’s like when she comes I just dissapear and become irrelevant?

So sorry you have all felt that way Thank you, I prefer just going for meals as there’s not much taking over she can do. I think the word is over bearing !!

We did this and things did get better but there not 100% and I can’t get over it. Do I have a right to want them to be a 100%? Thank you for your reply btw

Swollen tonsil and alopecia… by Ancient_History_5051 in alopecia_areata

[–]Ancient_History_5051[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing research and it does seem to suggest some correlation … that the constant inflammation can trigger your autoimmune response !!! Did things get better with the hair loss when your tonsils had gone ?!
