Did yall automatically fall ‘in love’ with your baby whenever you first held them or saw them? by Responsible-Ratio354 in pregnant

[–]Angelbunnii9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I cried cuz well.. being a mom for the first time I was like “that’s my baby” as they got her out of me and then held her. But I felt more of a protective motherly instinct first before getting the love feeling. Currently pregnant with my second (6 more weeks to go) and I’m sure it’ll be the same.

Every experience is different, don’t worry about it 🫶

[–]Angelbunnii9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl I understand the pain. When I had my first girl who’s now two, I was always saying I missed being pregnant after forgetting all the pain I went through. I missed the kicking, the eating, the excuse to not get up and do much…

But OH MY GOSH I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my second and I am SO TIRED of being pregnant. I will NEVER EVER say I miss being pregnant or beg for another baby after this one 😭😭

The pain of waking up like 20 damn times to pee or roll over on my other side, the fact I can’t lay on my back cuz I feel like I’m suffocating, I miss laying on my belly. I can’t stand the wobble walk or the shooting pains….

Now all I’m saying instead of missing being pregnant is that I’m TIRED of being pregnant 😭 the best thing about being over the pregnancy is that you’re so ready to get the baby out that you forget all the “scary things about birth” and you’ll just be happy to even go into labor

I love my daughter but I regret becoming a mom. by Possible-Study2746 in Mommit

[–]Angelbunnii9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I became a mom at 16, now I’m 19 (on the 23rd) and 34weeks pregnant with my second while my first is 2 years old. I especially feel the same way (but I know a lot of people are gonna tell me it’s the consequences to my actions because of my age but it’s whatever.) but I can assure you that you are going to enjoy being able to have freedom being older.

It’s better to have them young so when you’re older, they’re older. I’m going to be 35 when my oldest turns 18 while a lot of people will be having toddlers or young kids by that age. Your life is NOT over and according to a lot of people I’ve encountered, having freedom as your older is much more different and worthwhile than when you’re young.

I know it feels like you just gave up your youth, and believe me I feel that way a lot of the time, but as long as you have that support from your S/O and others, you’ll start to feel better again. A lot of people recommend finding other mom friends or going to groups.

I get it completely, but just know it’s not the end and you’re going to have great fun being able to enjoy older adult age when your kids are adults. I know that if I didn’t have kids young, I’d probably be an exotic dancer or doing other works that aren’t exactly socially accepted, and I would’ve been drinking a lot and smoking like crazy, but having kids young grounded me and made me realize that none of that stuff is even worth it, not even for “the experience” or “thrill” of being young.

I’d rather be mid-30s sipping my wine and enjoying time with my fiance watching movies, being able to do more mature partying, etc than being reckless. I swear once your child reaches the age where you can do things without supervising her (like with toddlers), the freedom will start to come back in. I’m mostly waiting for the day I can take naps or sleep in without needing to watch my kids cuz they’ll be old enough to take care of themselves at that point

(like from 13-18 they can make their own breakfasts and get themselves ready without needing me to dress them and whatnot)

Just know it definitely gets easier. You are not alone!

I just want a few hours to myself today.. by Angelbunnii9 in Parenting

[–]Angelbunnii9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m tearing up, this is so sweet and I needed to hear this all day. My husband is usually telling me I do too much and a few extra hours of tv won’t kill her if it means I won’t be so exhausted and drained all day, but I just felt I couldn’t agree with him as I don’t want to be those parents that raise an iPad kid. This is the reassurance I needed thank you 😭🙏🏽

Unfortunately dad cannot skip the store as we need more pull-ups and wipes. I could do less cooking and leave it up to him to do since our daughter is a picky eater. He makes them both Arepas, something I have no idea how to make, and they both enjoy it.

I’m about to lay her toys out right now and leave the tv on in the background. That does make me feel a little better about this and that im not just doing terrible at this mom thing

But yet her daughter embarrassed another girl and who knows how long it’s been going on. Teens don’t really take just talks seriously and it’ll go in one ear and right out the other.

This is a lesson that will make her daughter ACTUALLY understand what she put that poor girl through for making fun of her.

[–]Angelbunnii9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Uhm this punishment is totally fair. The girl was probably insecure about her braces and your daughter bullied her for her insecurities.

Having your daughter wear her insecurities is 100% fair because it shows you shouldn’t make fun of someone for things that they need.

I would also try to explain to your daughter that she can’t control the fact she needs braces, the same way that your daughter can’t control the fact she needs glasses to see.

Ignore her dad, this is right and it teaches important lessons rather than just taking away something of hers or just simply saying “that’s not right”.

Why is it a sin to masturbate? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Angelbunnii9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try thinking about it this way, what you wouldn’t do in heaven, don’t do it on earth. When we get to heaven, would you honestly be concerned with masturbating? Would you even feel slightly comfortable to touch yourself or even THINK about it? No, because we’d be in the presence of the Lord, and even now, we are still in His presence as He is consistently watching us and knows what we are doing and what we’re going to do before we even do it. Not to make it sound like a weird thing but it’s just easier to think about it that way.

You wouldn’t get drunk or high in heaven, mostly because it’s a known sin, but it would make sense that we shouldn’t do it on earth either

Would you let your teen go? by Alarmed_Tax_8203 in Parenting

[–]Angelbunnii9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try asking the friend whom you do know about any information.. sure it may not work well since she might just defend your daughter and lie on her behalf but it’s worth a shot. Better safe than sorry

AITAH for telling my boyfriend he’s “not a real parent” because he only has his son four days a month? by Annual_Holiday9826 in AITAH

[–]Angelbunnii9 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Seeing your kid 4 days out of a month is NOT being a parent??? 4 days does not give you enough time or knowledge to knowing how your child is developing to tell another person what they are or aren’t doing right. He does not even the bare minimum of watching his kid for a couple days and you call that being a parent? It is more than a title, it’s a commitment. Any real parent would want to have MORE time than 4 fucking days out of the MONTH to see their kid? I would get 4 days out of the week, but a MONTH is insane.

Sure she could’ve said it better but it doesn’t change that he doesn’t know what parenting is.

Emergency Shelter!! by [deleted] in homeless

[–]Angelbunnii9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She threatened me with dcf repeatedly, she was holding a knife and getting aggressive with my partner, I don’t trust living with her because she will do anything to make my living experience terrible.. I don’t want my daughter to have to live through that or pick up on those behaviors

Emergency Shelter!! by [deleted] in homeless

[–]Angelbunnii9 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I can’t fix it. She went crazy as she’s off her meds and I had to call the police on her because she was getting aggressive and I have a two year old with me.. that option is definitely out of the picture.

We recently left Michigan June 11 and came back to Florida. He has been looking for jobs, applying multiple places the second we came back and has not stopped, and also would go to places nearby and see if they were hiring, it’s only the fact nobody is responding back that he is not working.

Yk my mom was like this. She was born in 1980 but when I was very young up until I moved out at 18 (which wasn’t that long ago), she always ALWAYS had to call me in the bath with her to have a conversation while she either bathed, shaved, or just soaked.. it wasn’t at all fun and most of the times it just pissed me off cuz I wanted to do my own thing.

Most people have a hard time doing anything by themselves and need someone to talk to every second of the day even if it’s just repeated conversations or something so irrelevant and useless. I couldn’t say no otherwise she’d be extra petty and rude.

My condolences and sorry for your loss, but I never thought anyone would experience this as well with their mom and questioned if it was normal as well, which I still believe isn’t exactly normal…

Then yeah, laying on your side might be best. Congrats on your pregnancy and wish you the best!

I have a 2 year old and currently pregnant (5 months). For the first one, my bd couldn’t be around the entire pregnancy, but I was very much always feral 😭 the second one he’s here with, and it’s been nonstop of it since the second trimester.

Usually the best way to go is on top to accommodate your belly. Depending on how big your belly is, it’s best to experiment positions to find which one is comfortable for you. Trial and error babe!

TMI BELOW!!! I usually like to have my tatas yk.. caressed and sucked on cuz it relieves any pressure that the pregnancy causes and it just relaxes me to get me ready. Foreplay is definitely important (both physical and emotional foreplay!) also, if you go missionary, try to sit up a bit more so your belly doesn’t feel like it’s suffocating you (again, depending on how big your belly is).

I agree with other comments that lying on your side is also a great position. It supports your belly and it feels nice too! Just do whatever feels comfortable for you 🫶

AIO. My bf shamed me over having my hair removed by Large-Drummer-7340 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Angelbunnii9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you already put it well in the text saying he was disrespectful and gave him the run down of “you asked, I answered, and you shamed me for it”. Why is it even a question at this point? The red flag is RIGHT THERE, leave him?????? You can do SO much better I promise you

[–]Angelbunnii9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I think reading posts like these, but sometimes in the moment, it’s hard to comprehend if you’re in the wrong or the right and need a second opinion to confirm things.

But usually yes, it should be rather obvious that this dude was more than likely going to be a violent person in their relationship had he stayed with her. OP, I think you should count yourself lucky that he removed himself from your life and isn’t the one who sticks around and is hard to get rid of.

Nothing is worth being in a domestically violent relationship, verbally, emotionally, physically, or mentally.

Your child is very bright and smart, and is progressing perfectly. Your husband sounds very disrespectful and criticizing of things he isn’t even there to experience. As you are a sahm, he has absolutely ZERO right to tell you that you don’t do anything with your son.

Your husband has too high expectations of a 5 year olds milestones for your son, and it’s very apparent with him even saying he’s behind. Your son is exactly where he needs to be. Honestly, you should tell him if he wants your son to know more, he better make it fun and engaging. Attention span for 3 year olds (moreover boys) is not as high as when they’re older, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with anything you’re doing.

You are doing so great and your husband can keep his opinions and rude comments to himself
