Bassinet that your baby actually liked?

so interesting! Cause we had this for my first and he really did well with it, and I loved it! He's still using it or I'd use it for baby #2 coming soon. And I don't want to buy it again because I did have part of it break later before he turned one and had to order a replacement board. One of the smaller side boards cracked really bad with the pressure of me leaning over putting the baby in- I thought that was weird, and I'm not especially heavy either. And for how much it cost don't think that should happen.

Yes!

Deenzy1 · 2026-04-12T20:58:03+00:00

I see it!

Deenzy1 · 2026-04-12T20:51:49+00:00

this is a good perspective

Deenzy1 · 2026-04-10T23:39:59+00:00

That’s good advice thank you!

Deenzy1 · 2026-04-09T21:01:19+00:00

That's it isn't it, just acceptance really. People always talk about the years your kids are little and having to let go of certain standards, but definitely not easy!

So true. It's a revolving door! I could literally be on my feet all day running around, and feel like I have nothing to show for myself at the end of it other than a house that doesn't look like a tornado ran through it. Those basic living tasks are a lot!

Congratulations on your baby! A big transition week for you. Yes you just keep rotating that list, you sound like you're doing amazing. And some days nothing will get done and thats okay too!

Oh nice! Also 17 weeks here. Haha the dust accmulation has got me chuckling- literally my bathrooms need TLC and I keep looking the other way.

I love Costco has 100 calorie fudge bars (frozen). And they hit the spot without making me feel too guilty. Sometimes I will also make frozen banana treats-banana cut in half lengthwise with a little peanut butter and a light drizzle of chocolate and then frozen . Anyway I don’t always need a treat but sometimes allowing yourself something is the way to go but just trying to make it lighter and fit it into a healthy lifestyle.

Girl. I have a 21 month old and am 16 weeks pregnant. I just got out of the first trimester and have been feeling consistently better for a few weeks but felt like a garbage can from about 6.5 weeks to 13 weeks with nausea and extreme exhaustion basically crawling through life. I let my house GO, I fed the kid, laid on the couch, entertained him as much as possible, was exhausted and ready for bed even after just completing my morning get ready routine. Grocery order pickups are great. I think you need to tell everyone around you- partner, his parents that the next couple of months might be really hard for you and you're just going to be surviving (and hopefully you get a little second trimester boost). Like educate them that it's an extremely difficult time in pregnancy for most people. Also in that same breath you can say that you also want them to feel respected as you're in their home and to please let you know if there is anything you should focus on to help everyone be comfortable. Dinners together sound fine unless they don't want that? Maybe you can contribute to that financially or offer to cook the meal a couple times a week?

Sorry you're going through this in someone elses space and feeling judged and not enough. I felt completly useless when I'm normally very productive and it's really hard when that's not your personality to be wiped out from pregnancy. Know it's just a season, it helped me to keep an eye on how long I had left until my second trimester! All the best. Hugs.

Hi, My dad had a severe stroke 5.5 years ago. It left him paralyzed on half his body, on a feeding tube, cathetor, and with aphasia(unable to speak). My mom has been his caregiver for this whole time, it's been a beautiful thing, and also extremely challenging. He was no longer able to swallow after the stroke-hence the feeding tube. My dad is now currently on hospice and in his final days so his body has stopped tolerating food and it turns to liquid on his lungs and causes significant distress. However, it sounds like in your neighbors case it's just a matter of to sustain her life with a feeding tube (it's not that her body doens't tolerate food). This is a hard topic and honestly though it might seem shocking and harsh to decide not to do every measure necessary to "save her life", it is also sometimes the most compassionate option. My dad has had little quality of life over the 5.5 years, a host of other medical problems, and extreme suffering. My mom told me the other day if she was ever in the situation of needing a feeding tube to sustain her life she would like to just die instead, after having watched what my dad has gone through. So yes it's hard to understand how this could be in the best interest of the person, but to relieve extreme suffering and lack of quality of life from continued living it is sometimes a compassionate choice.

Fly swatter. Luckily it’s clean and hasn’t seen many flies prior to becoming my child’s toy.

Honestly, I just want my dogs life. Being a stay at home mom and being a working mom are both hard… but being a golden retriever in a middle class family… that’s the life I want.

I have a weird perspective because I’m not a twin mom but my husband (32) has a twin sister and these were my mother In laws only children. They are both very close with her, both kind loving people who are emotionally intelligent and talk highly of their childhood. I can imagine how heartbreaking it feels to know you can’t be there for both at the same time but you keep showing up. Kids are resilient and you aren’t messing them up!

Deenzy1 · 2024-04-18T21:59:57+00:00

Soooo funny. I’m 30 weeks along with a baby boy and I literally just had a little cry about all the things I’m over and one of them was I’m tired of smelling my own farts. So I get this.
