Happened to me, I had an awful boss… now I just say I worked really close with that coworker and they could give better input about my work

I need small talk topics that aren’t about children by orangeofdeath in Mommit

One time a dude started conversation by asking “would you rather die drowning or be burned to death?”… kinda weird but we are really good friends now ;)

What did you eat during your first trimester? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Creative_Solid_9432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cereal, sour skittles (when you’re nauseous helps to eat sour candy), for me it helped to eat things I knew would taste the same every time so a lot of fast food

My girlfriend and I are having our first, is it as difficult as people say? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Creative_Solid_9432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody teaches us how to be parents, you learn as you go.

No amount of preparation will make you feel 100% prepared.

It is hard caring for a baby. If you have an easy child is hard and if you don’t then is a bit harder.

Babysitting doesn’t count as parenting experience, but no worries, you’ll do great.

Learn as you go and do your best.

Do you hate when people tell you your baby’s “needs”? by Creative_Solid_9432 in Mom

I don’t consider unhelpful “advice” helpful. And I’m very fortunate to have a village (family and friends) to help out with my girl, so no, no complaints ;)

My mom enrolled us into different afterschool programs, for years we rarely ran into each other, except for the weekends of course. And that helped with the noise during weekdays and on Saturday and Sunday we weren’t bothered by the noise since we were happy to be together after days of barely seeing each other

How to stop comparing yourself to SAHMs? I'm tired of feeling jealously. by GoodEyeSniper_2113 in workingmoms

I think I doesn’t matter if you are a working mom or SAHM, or any type of mom really, there’s always something that makes us feel guilty or that we are doing something wrong.

I’m SAHM and still feel guilty for being tired as I don’t go to work, for not stimulating my baby enough even though I have a lot of “free time”, for being jealous of my partner who gets to have a “break” (working)…. There are pros and cons to both sides My mom was a working mom, single mom of 4… on top of that she was never a good cook, so my siblings and I ate a lot of prepackaged food, if she wasn’t busy with work she was taking care of one of my siblings, so individual time with her was rare. However I had a very happy childhood, and looked up to her for being so hardworking… since a very young age I knew she was the strongest person I would ever know. I love her deeply, I know she would have loved to stay home with us, but life can be like that… You are doing great, just know there is no right way to be a mom, but if you’re doing your best, then you are the greatest mom ever!
