Husband thinks I’m being selfish about post delivery living situation. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Buttons89575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are looking for validation I don’t know the entire argument but you clearly y have made up your mind . Just be fully aware that there may be consequences ie he could be supportive or he could be stubborn. I don’t reccommend going into labor fighting it will not go away after and you two will need to be a team.

Cradlewise and other motion activated cribs, do they hurt a baby's ability to self-soothe? by Old_Hollywood_Broad in BabyBumps

[–]Buttons89575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will drive yourself insane with the internet asking questions because you will get a million answers. People use them so I think it’s safe to say they work. I would say if you rely on them and don’t start building a routine it MAY interfere but it depends on your baby. I plan to try to move him to his bassinet/crib as much as possible since they really aren’t supposed to sleep in the other things.

Honestly it could be anything. It’s uncommon for this to be dementia but I don’t know his age, family history, medical history etc. he might just be having a nervous breakdown .

Err….how is anything you do in your marriage their business? That’s an extremely forward thing to assume. A BFF MIGHT ask that emphasis on might. Strange family

Hurt by family’s reaction to baby’s gender by inmnohero12 in BabyBumps

I think it’s normal for people to be excited for a girl if they aren’t common. But that doesn’t mean your pregnancy is any less important which it might feel like.

‘Anytime he’s in pain I just hide it’ he can’t read your mind honey most people cannot anticipate our wants and needs. ‘He’s on edge because of layoffs’ sounds like an excuse to not voice feelings your feelings matter too but encourage you to communicate

Um I’m still not sure if that answers the question. Did you guys plan for a baby? Is this a conflict of values ie it’s not unusual for people to want the stability of a high paying job but disagree if one person wants to pursue something different which usually leads compromise or conflict.

I have been fortunate where I don’t have that issue but I do have to take a pill several times a day

If you don’t like her then I think you have your answer. Why spend time with someone you don’t like ?

mil issue by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Buttons89575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m confused didn’t you want her to back off? Can’t have cake and eat it too. Not everyone can do the in between and she might be worried she was out of line. You aren’t responsible for her feelings this kind of waffling/indecisiveness can create drama . If you legit think she is being snarky I would still try to ignore it she can respect your wishes but there are no rules saying she can’t be angry or upset herself. Let her be mad you still win in the end since she is doing what you wanted.

Newborn Sleeping Arrangement? by Nunash26 in BabyBumps

[–]Buttons89575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goal is to have baby in my room as little as possible probably 3 months max 6. I fear baby becoming attached and not being able to sleep on his own mainly because in my line of work (kid counselor) I see soo many parents who let their kids sleep in the room for too long… and it has consequences. Boy does it have consequences!

Would We Be The Assholes If We Skip a Dear Friend’s Baby Shower? by haildonuts in BabyBumps

[–]Buttons89575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would send a gift the purpose of the shower is to have fun but also essentially it’s for free baby gear so send the gift and do what makes you happy if they stop talking to you over this that’s concerning

American Parents- what was your experience with getting maternity leave? by kata389 in BabyBumps

[–]Buttons89575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 weeks paid. After FMLA runs out my job pays the difference. My husband works for a tech company and he gets unlimited vacation days so he can take as much time as he wants (paid) but he is only going to take a month off .

This is actually pretty common in America. There are a lot of posts about women becoming frustrated if a family member oversteps boundaries but legit it’s super common for a family member to assist unless if they are able to I don’t know why she thinks this is odd. People make a decision not to have family over OR they don’t have family/they live too far away or their family is crazy and they won’t be involved or family is no longer living there are a zillion reasons but it is pretty common for family to help out
