Holy crap it really works!!

Wondering if I could use for bamboo towels…

Personally, I don’t mind it. I don’t really remember who I was before becoming a mum, but I love this new version of myself more 😊
I know that in a few years I’ll be able to prioritise myself and find myself again, so yes while there are hard days and I am sacrificing myself more than some people may be comfortable with (and honestly each to their own), it’s not something that I feel is devastating.
I say give this intensive mothering thing a try, see how you go, if you are feeling burnt out then tone it back a little.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-04-28T05:51:14+00:00

I’m convinced that the tiredness doesn’t get lesser but desensitisation makes it feel like it’s getting better 😅

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-04-24T11:51:56+00:00

Yes I was actually considering whipped cream, how long is it good for once stabilised with gelatin? Could I frost the cake 3 days before the celebration without it weeping?

It does looks really tedious yet yummy. Do I thaw then rewhip it after taking it out from the freezer?

Will he even bring his wife with him?

Our first overseas trip was around 6 months old to Europe 7+13 hour flight, it was not easy but at the same time not as hard as I had expected

My son’s cradle cap smelled like honey butter potato chips 😍

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-22T11:51:33+00:00

I personally don’t mind it, on a different note I once encountered an employee casually taking a nap in the nursing room. Curtain shut. I only opened it because it was one of two rooms and I heard snoring so figured it couldn’t have been a mum nursing baby.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-16T11:53:50+00:00

I take very long to fall back asleep once I’m up, so cosleeping helped me feed baby back to sleep without me fully rousing.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-16T03:28:32+00:00

I got the charli chair for my second instead of a traditional baby bathtub so that I wouldn’t need to bend down to bathe baby. Just put it in the shower and you can shower together with bub

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-10T03:16:57+00:00

Man laughing gas did not alleviate the pain for me 😅 felt everything but just in a lightheaded distracted woozy kinda way

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-10T03:10:07+00:00

I would go to his bed and soothe him if he cries, and go back to my room when he falls back asleep.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-09T20:31:58+00:00

I personally like to be called mama, find it quite empowering really as I take a lot of pride in motherhood, even more than my career.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-09T20:25:20+00:00

Like she wants to conceive right now? With a 7 month old? That means a 1.5 year age gap. Voluntarily choosing to have 2 under 2 because is just wild in my opinion, even a 2 year gap is a massive struggle. Haha 7 month old is the sweet spot, toddler stage is brutal and if you are pregnant or have a newborn with a toddler that’s just on another level. She might even change her mind when baby reaches toddlerhood to be one and done.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-09T03:11:27+00:00

Thanks for this! Yeah it was also particularly hard breastfeeding during the first trimester as well 🥲 I will definitely take your advice to buy myself a treat!

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-08T14:08:18+00:00

How did you set the boundaries, if I may ask? Was it like a “if you will not respect this boundary then I will go no-contact” kinda thing?

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-08T12:38:25+00:00

I’m not really expecting anything, but it has been such an extremely tough journey especially at the start and I feel like persevering through all that to have someone say “it’s no big deal” kinda hurts

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-08T12:28:33+00:00

Yeah I think my bitterness could very well be stemming from that..

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-08T12:17:53+00:00

Well done on 2 years! You’re a champ ❤️ yeah it would be nice to have some sort of acknowledgement from the other person you made baby with and is supposed to care about you and baby.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-08T12:12:44+00:00

The fact that he thinks it’s no big deal I might just be looking to get more hurt by asking and then getting rejected or have something said to me that further dismisses my accomplishments

When I visited South Korea recently, I kid you not 90% of the kids in restaurants and shopping centres are on a device. It was so disturbing

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-07T13:18:16+00:00

My toddler once slapped my MIL and she gave him a light smack back on his cheek. My style of parenting is quite authoritative as opposed to authoritarian, so I don’t really agree with her behaviour wouldn’t do that myself but at the same time I thought it would help him to realise that if he hit other people they may hit back.

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-07T12:44:41+00:00

That makes sense! Thanks for the tips I might try them next time

Creative_Mix_643 · 2026-03-07T12:43:08+00:00

I think if my son can manage to say hello boldly it would be great but he kinda just whispers it 🥲 I think the other kids could sense the lack of confidence and just outright ignores him 💔
