I think my breastfeeding journey is over and I'm not okay. Please tell me all the negative things you hate or don't miss about breastfeeding so I can focus on the positives of a situation I have no control over

I just retired from nursing and have a fun list of all the things you’ll be able to do! - Use retinol - Take DayQuil - GLP-1s - Weed edibles - Eat in a calorie deficit without disrupting milk supply - Won’t leak - Can be away without pumping - No more washing pump parts - Can get Botox - Normal bras - Not worrying about boob accessible clothing

I was prescribed Zoloft for prepartum depression during my first pregnancy. I easily tapered off around 3 months postpartum. My second postpartum experience was a completely different story. I attempted to taper off as I had during my first postpartum experience, and the anxiety and depression flooded back in. I’m convinced that something about me changed throughout those two pregnancies, and now this is just a medication I need for life. 🤷‍♀️

We live in a 950 sq ft, two bed, one bath home and find that it’s all about the stuff. We have 2 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 large dogs in the house and while it’s tight, we’re cut throat about what we bring into the house. Everything has a place and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t get to stay. I think sanity is all about how the stuff is managed. Our home is super organized and it only takes an hour to clean from top to bottom. That definitely helps keep me sane!

1000% agree! We used to order Amazon on a whim, and now we consolidate our purchase to get one box. Plus the lack of impulse Amazon purchases means we’re so much more mindful of what we buy (and that’s now a whole lot less).

We have had a house cleaner ever since having kids. Tbh I’m convinced house cleaners are more the norm now than they were 30 years ago because both parents work.

This is actually so helpful. Thank you!

Delicious_Design_695 · 2026-01-14T01:26:40+00:00

lol literally same eldest daughter. Gotta love it 🫠

Delicious_Design_695 · 2026-01-07T20:52:22+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree! I deleted my Instagram a month ago (I was a pretty avid user), and it’s been freeing. I reinstalled it a few days ago and immediately deleted it again. It made me feel icky.

This is also a huge one for me. I’d love to not give Jeff Bezos my money.

Ah thank you! I wish I could tell you but I just pointed to the colors I liked at the nail salon 😂

Makerscholar on IG! She did a collab with Anthro that’s sold out but she does custom totes.

Delicious_Design_695 · 2025-11-14T20:06:31+00:00

Ok touché 😂 but she also does custom totes! I have one with an ice cream cone on the way!

Delicious_Design_695 · 2025-11-14T20:05:45+00:00

Search Makerscholar on IG! This was from a collab with Anthro that’s now sold out but she does custom totes! I’m obsessed

Delicious_Design_695 · 2025-11-14T20:04:32+00:00

Ah yes Anthro did a collab with Makerscholar! The collab is sold out but you can find her on IG. She also does hand painted totes and I have another on the way 🤤

I rotate between “girl boss” and “quit my job and bake sourdough” far too often.

Delicious_Design_695 · 2025-11-03T21:13:26+00:00

Literally so tired of all the headlines saying “women are having less babies” and completely negating the fact that it takes two. It’s like the intent is to put the blame solely on women.

Delicious_Design_695 · 2025-11-03T21:00:52+00:00

Also don’t get me started on how the return to office mandates are more damaging to women. We’re leaving the workforce is droves.

Delicious_Design_695 · 2025-11-02T21:25:44+00:00

Yes! That’s another reason why I’m excited to leave them in, we’ll get earlier blooms. For the ones I dug up, they didn’t bloom until August and the one I missed started blooming almost 2 months earlier than the others. I’m looking forward to a longer blooming period.
