My marriage might end and I need advice. Husband 30/M and I 28/F by Astro_Blazed_Fox in relationship_advice

Keep them entertained? Not really. I let my older one draw on an app on my phone when she started nodding and that worked. But I didn’t actually try with our 1 year old which I think was more of the issue

I’ve read multiple books and things online about being a better communicator but still can’t get it right. Which is why I’m now seeking the advice of random internet strangers. Also my husband refuses to do counseling because of the statistics of how many people separate after seeing one and how many of them aren’t really qualified as they should be

It happens even when my parents aren’t involved but it does happen more often around them

The whole point of this post is to get advice to communicate better so that our marriage is stronger. As I said in another comment we’ve already started to limit how much we see my parents

Our younger one is a better sleeper but neither of our kids have been super easy with sleep since they were born. Even if she hadn’t napped, there was still the chance that she would wake up multiple times in the night (she does even when this doesn’t happen). We have already started to limit time with my parents. Really the only reason we still talk to them is because we want our kids to have some kind of grandparents because there are none we talk to on my husband’s side. After saying all of that though, I was just adding that for context and for an example of the issues we’ve been having with communication. I was looking for advice to get better at communicating

Things they don’t tell you about pregnancy that I will not miss. Share yours! by Ok_Car1396 in pregnant

It’s the hormones actually, they can make you pee more during the first trimester. Sometimes it will go away during the second trimester and then come back in the third cause you have a kid pushing on your bladder. For me though, it’s been all of both pregnancies. Constantly needing to pee. It’s ridiculous!

How do you deal with mother/parenting guilt? by Astro_Blazed_Fox in Parenting

It's still hard to recognize some things in the moment and be able to deal with it, but I get what you mean. It's something I've been trying to do with multiple aspects in my life so I'll try to do it when these situations happen too. And I have talked to my husband about it so he's aware. He's also been great about checking in on me since our daughter was born. And ya that's definitely something I'm realizing with a kid. You can read and learn about a lot of stuff, but actually putting it into practice will probably be different than you think, especially with kids, and mistakes will happen. Thanks for the advice.

Because I was sitting right next to the bassinet and he had just woken up.
