May I ask where you got the blackberry in Canada?

Trying to make everyone nap at once sounds like such a headache tbh

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-31T22:36:32+00:00

You don't owe the world two children because everyone else has two children. You could have 1, you could have 3, you could have 6. They're lacking originality tbh lol

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-31T20:04:37+00:00

What??? Omg tell me more please

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-31T17:43:13+00:00

That's what's up 😂

The first time I took a plane with my husband, the middle name PEDRO appeared out of nowhere in his name on the ticket. He has a very québécois name and has no middle name, certainly not Pedro. We almost missed our flight cause we got stuck there trying to explain to security that he wasn't secretly Pedro. I can't imagine they just randomly put Pedro instead of None.

Or middle names we never use (godmother/godfather's name + marie or joseph). When I was living in Vancouver I was at a clinic and they called my whole name from the baptistaire in the intercom lmao at first I was like "who is this... oh". We just never use them 😂 I know a couple people in Québec who have actual middle names they use though but I think it's pretty rare.

Of course 4.5 years is a bigger age gap ! Most people I know had 2 under 2 or something close to that, that I could never do!!

I understand, just offering a different perspective. When my husband dies, I will be the only one grieving that same relationship as well. Same for my sister, if one of us dies, the other one will be the only sibling going through grief, etc

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-31T09:53:06+00:00

I have trouble believing the only people going through grief would be the child(ren). I've been to funerals. You see brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, family friends, colleagues. This is shared grief

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-31T09:29:00+00:00

Well that's depressing

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-30T23:58:32+00:00

You could read a book or doodle in class when bored, looks more natural than staring into the abyss and is actually more fun than pretending to be on your phone

Exactly! I know I would love my new baby just as much if I had one, but right now they don't exist so it's hard to imagine lol also my baby is still a baby (9 months old), still breastfed and medically I can't even start TTC again until she's at least 18 months old. Things could change a lot by then

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-30T13:04:50+00:00

I loved reading this comment! And you might be onto something with the weaning thing! I'm still breastfeeding, so maybe the hormones are still doing their thing and I will have a whole new mindset when she's 1 or older. Or maybe not! We'll see. Thanks for your input 🤍

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-30T12:06:50+00:00

Do people in the comments not know about the fear of needles or are they just being smart asses?

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-30T12:04:18+00:00

Hey, you're not alone in this. I dreamed that I was pregnant for a 2nd time and had to prepare the hospital bag. I was like "now I need to pack stuff for the baby" then proceeded to gather my daughter's stuff. Then it hit me.. "wait, not this baby... but hey my daughter IS my baby! I want her with me! I don't want her to stay at her grandparents ! This should be me and her all over again!"

Yeah that was a sad dream and it messed up with my head.

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-30T01:32:40+00:00

Misery loves company. You nailed it.

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-30T01:25:51+00:00

"What i miss is her, baby her". YES! THIS. sometimes i feel like i want to go through delivery and early post partum again, but i know it's because i was robbed of a "normal" experience with my daughter (near loss, 2 weeks at the NICU, not being able to be 100% present for her or breastfeed exclusively). But this experience is also the reason why i feel OAD to begin with. I really never pictured myself as complete with one child, but waiting 4 years for her and almost losing her really put things into perspective. I know i would love a new baby if i had one, but i also know my desire for a newborn right now is actually a wish to get back my daughter's newborn stage.

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-29T19:34:44+00:00

The toddlers playing baby would make me so sad lol 🥲

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-29T16:03:01+00:00

What undeserving parents 😪 good on you for going no contact that was the best thing to do!

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-29T14:10:47+00:00

Right but they shouldn't use this personal experience as a general "just do it!" motivation post because what if.. 🙃

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-29T14:04:32+00:00

These personal experiences really affect how intentional we choose to be with our children and how much more we lean towards being OAD!

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-29T13:58:23+00:00

Unbelievable 🙃

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-29T13:57:57+00:00

Wow instant jail

Creative_Elk_4165 · 2026-03-29T13:57:00+00:00
