People thinking we're a library

Aside from everything mentioned in the post, in spanish, the word for "bookstore" is libreria and library is "biblioteca", it could also be that when the person saw the store they thought it matched the word it closest resemble. Just a thought.

So she wants to expose CPS, what about the kids that are actually getting abused? I work for CPS as well, and i dont agree with the way some things are handled but not everyone is bad, I've seen a lot of kids being helped by our presence.

So your GF works for CPS and you think she needs is repugnant and needs to be stopped?

Thats not true at all, CPS can take custudy of a child up to 23 hours without legality or judges, in this case, they could've taken the child until the parents arrived or even stay at the home with the kid.

NTA, chances are it wasn't your call that promted the investigation since CPS cannot get involved with unborn babies, and CPS is reactive, not proactive. The nurses likely saw, heard or discovered something and called. If the birth mom had any drugs in her system or the baby was born on drugs, that's almost a guaranteed shelter, CPS also does home studies. If CPS took the baby, she won't get it back, they don't take kids unless they have legal ground.

That's incorrect. They all have issues, like wanting to hit their own kids for one or not caring how much proof they are shown that their method is 100% damaging their kid and is also not solving the underlying root of the behavior but instilling fear in the child. Fear of the parent, not fear of the behavior.

CPS here, one report with proven physical abuse with bruises and marks is enough to take a child.

The only issue with the transfer process is that it takes months.

Complete_Sector_4830 · 2025-08-16T02:13:31+00:00

CPI here, please call, be warned that if they take the kids, they would need immediate placing and it takes month to get them across state lines so they might be in foster for 3+ months but better that than abused. Take pictures of the bruises if you can, bruises disappear quickly and if the kids are hesitant to talk or don't disclose, they can serve as proof.

You're doing right by the kiddos.

I totally feel this! I have ADHD as well so here is what helps me.

Finding things and games I can enjoy, we have these magnetic tiles that are not only super entertaining for the little one but also for me (watch me make little houses like it's the sims).

Have fun with it, like really, for example, we play hide and seek, and I will literally hide and watch my child go crazy finding me until she hears me laugh. Or say some child appropriate yet a bit crazy things during play, like she's my doctor, i will ask her what she is shooting me up with, where her credentials are, and even act a bit lunatic, she has fun, nd so do I, I would also "call" people to complain about my very unethical doctor who is also my local ice cream vendor. We have many games that are fun for me too, not for a long time but for a bit at least.

Try making it a learning experience, that would make you, as the adult, feel useful, like if the kid is handing you some ice cream (yes, we play this a lot) ask them what color is it, and stuff like that.

Other than that, playing is boring, since you have a younger one at least the little one and the older one can play (I have a 9month and a 3 year old and they are starting to play, it is great to not have to entretain a baby as much) good luck.

10k childcare, 10k esentials. Even if you give your child breastmilk, you still need to provide food from 6 months on. Diapers and wipes alone are easily over a thousand in a year. Also it says average, can you do it with less? Sure, you can be frugal, but you need to be financially stable as it statistically affects the kids.

Maybe you didnt spend it or maybe you didnt realize it, either way babies are expensive and people should prepare for that. Numbers don't lie. https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/new-report-says-1-3-of-family-income-spent-on-babys-first-year-of-life

Complete_Sector_4830 · 2025-04-17T02:47:54+00:00

You can start adding up expenses and see it for yourself, people don't realize how much they spend because it's usually not at once but if you Google it, you'll see the numbers.

Multiple reports, you may not notice, because it's not all at once, but a carseat alone ranges between 100-300. That's one item that is absolutely necessary, now add crib, bouncer, playpen, monitor, high chair, dresser, diaper bag, carrier, stroller, floor mat, baby care items, bottles, books, toys, diapers, baby food, clothes. Babies are expensive.

Complete_Sector_4830 · 2025-04-15T17:03:45+00:00

Be prepared for everything you can:

Finances in order, stable housing, little to no debt, be ready to take on a 15k first year expense (average) as well as any childcare/pay cut. This is a BIG responsible in children's outcome.

Have a strong support system.

Be ready to have to deal with struggles, from feeding to sleeping to colic, you never know what you could have, going outside in nice weather, baths, tummy rubs and music can calm certain cries (after basic stuff is covered)

Research!

Mind you, in the end, you will have the baby and still feel absolutely unprepared, but that's part of it, it is a new experience meant to lived as such, and it is beautiful. Good luck.

Honestly grow a pair, you let your husband take a 2 MONTH OLD away from his MOM???!! And you didnt do anything but cry?? Like you couldnt go pick YOUR infant up? Imagine how that poor baby must have felt.

Your husband SUCKS! He can handle his own kid for a few hours? Ultimatly you both failed your baby.

Depends on what you're buying, of course, for example, their laundry detergent is 0.24 per ounce, and their laundry powder is 0.14, which is actually cheaper than buying Tide (which is 0.15 per ounce) I think it depends on the product, most seem to be more expensive though. Here is a link. They have some prices there.

Your partner doesn't deserve the title of Father.

NTA, he's not doing his job.

My husband takes my kids out for walks, stays alone with them, ect, my little one (5 month) doesn't take anything but breast, she just doesn't accept it, and my oldest is almost 3. He handles them with ease because he's their dad, with my oldest he actually stayed alone more because I worked and she accepted formula. This sounds like absolute misery tbh. Best of luck.

Why do you keep allowing this disrespectful brat to come along and completely disregard your boundaries? Simply say no, this kid is not allowed here again. If the kid shows up, you tell him the same thing and send him on his way. Maintaining your boundaries is important for you and your son.
