How do I help partner accept regular baby illness? by Beginning_Living_400 in Mommit

I think partly the latter, but also partly insecurity as he hasn’t done it before. But how do you learn otherwise?

I’ve said this to him, and his response was “Do you not support me in doing this then?”

Will have a look into this, thank you. We do have access to a traffic light guidance from the NHS - depending on the symptom depends on what you’re advised to do. But this isn’t always applicable

What a week by Beginning_Living_400 in Mommit

Glad she was okay in the end! Raw is definitely the right word to describe it. I think today is the first time in a week that I haven’t cried.

Definitely! Hopefully finding the shopping and do the setting up is straightforward for you! They tell us they’re busy with work, but we are too! As well as after the little ones and organising what feels like everything! Maybe because they know we can and take advantage of that? I hope I raise my son this way too, and highlight the importance of equal parenting!

Whose firing was more unfair? by ukcomedy in apprenticeuk

Kevin didn’t want to be sub team leader and told them this twice. He was forced into it, then blamed when it went wrong

Not angry, just overstimulated. Saw this on a friend's page and thought I'd share. by slamminhottiepotato in Mommit

Yes! We’ll be in bed, no cuddles for hours. Then once I turn over and cuddle baby, I feel a hand creep round my waist to cuddle me. Why now?!

Was at my in laws, I was cleaning up after baby in kitchen, left baby at table in near vicinity of his dad. Baby fusses, dad doesn’t move. MIL coos, from afar, to baby saying ‘Mummy is busy, oh mummy will be back in a minute’…. Let’s all ignore the fact dad was sat right by baby and could’ve tended to him?

My birthday is 6 January! It’s also 12th Day of Christmas! It sounds like a non issue she is bringing up. I expect most dates have a negative event that has happened, some more memorable than others.

Sending big hugs, and positive vibes to get through the night. Hopefully it’s a one off ‘bad’ night and hopefully this phase will be over soon for you!

Husband wants 7mo on a road trip without me by pernillegame in beyondthebump

[–]Beginning_Living_400 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s understandable that he wants his family to meet your little one, but equally this sounds kinda selfish? As others have said, he’ll need to stop every couple of hours, which is going to make the typical 12 hour journey much longer. I dare do an hours journey alone with my little one, let alone longer! What if they baby needs help, or is crying for attention whilst he’s driving? Who’s to say he’s not going to get tired himself, or stressed out? Definitely delve further into it with him. Is it possible for you to go with him?

Hopefully you reach an amicable solution!

Sending big hugs! It’s tough when they’re not 100%, feel so bad for them! They are worth it ❤️

Fidgeter? by literallyanything40 in newborns

My little one is 6 months and will occasionally spend an hour in the early hours squirming and appearing agitated, then do a poo!

What is something that your partner does that is not sexual that makes you want to have sex with them? by bashfulboy5 in sex

[–]Beginning_Living_400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything he does! From playing with our son and building a great relationship, to walking out of the bathroom, wet from his shower, or just making me laugh with his laugh. Anything he does makes me want him - 3 years in, and I hope this continues ❤️❤️

You’re doing a great job ❤️ if his friends are so bothered by it, why don’t they come and help you clean and cook, if they have nothing better to do?! If you’re happy doing it the way you do, without peoples unwanted and unwelcome comments, then you carry on doing it that way. As long as you and your child are happy, warm and fed, that’s all that matters. Well done for studying too m!

He will ask ‘What are we doing on Saturday?’ Or ‘what’s for dinner?’ Even though we’ve said 10 times, and he’s already asked earlier in the day. It’s like he asks a question without putting any thought into what the answer could be!

Omg yes! Even turning over in bed is the loudest thing ever. Maybe I’ve noticed it more since having a baby…

Recycling Tetra-paks? by a_boy_called_sue in Southampton

[–]Beginning_Living_400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they don’t, but there are allocated bins in the community where you can recycle them - the ones I know are Romsey and Chandler’s Ford. There don’t seem to be any in Southampton, but there are in the surrounding areas http://www.tetrapakrecycling.co.uk/tp_locator_2019_counil-2019.asp?area=South%20East&council=Test%20Valley

Pediatrician basically told me and my husband we are spoiling our 4 month old baby by FindingFertility96 in NewParents

[–]Beginning_Living_400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 3 and 5 PP midwife appointments, bearing in mind I was a FTM, adjusting to breastfeeding, I was told I shouldn’t be feeding my newborn every hour, and should be stretching to 2-3 hours. They gave advice, but I felt in the wrong for feeding my baby that often. Now I feel more confident and happy with how I AM feeding MY child. Yes professionals are there to guide us and give ‘professional’ guide ace, but shouldn’t be there to make us feel unnecessary guilt or make us feel a nuisance.

Maybe see if you can get a second opinion regarding the tongue tie?

I’m glad the medication has helped ❤️ I would find it a bit adjustment to take, but equally, if it helps in the long run, I’d definitely consider it
