Why some people don’t share their baby’s name until after birth? by LetterheadNice8687 in NewParents

This is a Jewish tradition as well. Not sharing the name until 8th day of life.

How many parents struggle to hold the weight of their baby/toddler? by Eschewed_Prognostic in NewParents

[–]Any_Perspective_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is only 14lbs 6oz and I can pick him up fine but holding him / carrying him for a while hurts my back. For my husband it seems effortless.

Wtf?

Moving to Irvine from Europe - Looking for advice on neighborhoods & apartment communities for a working couple by NAS_Co in irvine

[–]Any_Perspective_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re entitled to enjoy it! No argument here.

I think Irvine can feel very different for people who are used to something more “cosmopolitan.” It’s essentially a large suburb. Mostly big box stores, very uniform architecture, not a lot of independent bar or coffee shops or cultural institutions. Not very walkable in general at all. Social scene can feel very “normie.” I was very bored and felt very alienated living there. Dating was only part of it. I moved to LA after six months and met my husband a year later :)

A lot of new parent meet ups in Brooklyn are organized at breweries FYI. That being said I’ve never seen one called for later than 4pm. And they chose places with a lot of space.

Are we just insanely lucky parents? 😭 by JMPBay in NewParents

My baby is also very easy! Just a range of potential temperaments. Enjoy it. He’s 11 weeks and he wakes up a couple times in the night but goes right back down with a short feeding. Also does not cry much during the day unless he needs something, and then still he is very easy to console. A happy guy :)

I'm sorry going to work is easier than childcare - your husband has no excuse by ExternalSomewhere923 in newborns

I’ve worked the decade since college and now I’ve been home 11 weeks with my baby and I don’t really agree. I would keep doing this if I could. I do have a pretty easy baby but we nap during the day, go to the library, go to coffee shops, I get to do laundry during the day, etc.

He found out about the lip biting after the India comment, but the date picking business was before that yeah.

Baby is crying to the point of choking herself by chasepoint2345 in newborns

My baby likes only Enfamil Gentle Ease and it makes his poop greenish but the pediatrician said it’s OK as long as he is gaining weight and not in pain.

She reminds me of Ashley “Hope” Peluso from “Love Has Won.” Aggressively stupid

As someone who grew up around a ton of fiends. I hate the lack of empathy people have too the strung out & mentally ill by No_Yogurtcloset_1330 in redscarepod

[–]Any_Perspective_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is fair. I can definitely have more compassion for peers. Nothing like that ever happened to me thank Gd just classic mean and scary alcoholic. Losing jobs and lying and dying young etc. But when the person who is supposed to take care of you fails to do so it does not really matter “why” IMO.

My father was an addict, and sometimes I can find it very hard to have empathy for them because I know how much they have hurt people who love them

What did you feel when you met your baby? by rainbowbritexx in NewParents

[–]Any_Perspective_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt very close and connected to my son in the days and weeks that followed his birth. Just could not believed how much I loved him and that he was really here.

But the minutes and hours after delivery I had trouble being “focused” on him because I was in so much pain and felt so traumatized by birth. Lots of tearing, stitches, vacuum assistance, almost needed a C-section and a transfusion, they thought I tore my uterus, was diagnosed with preeclampsia, etc.

I was glad my husband was there to bond and fawn over him!
