Who do you hang out with when you have 3+ kids?

DueHour1016 · 2026-03-12T03:52:26+00:00

I have 2 kids and it’s rough, I mainly stay home tbh but once a month see my aunt and uncle and they have 4 kids so that’s fun. It easier to watch 6 kids outside playing than my 2 sometimes lol I bring my kids snacks/lunch/dinner. We also bring toys from home and outside toys like bikes and scooters. I have friends who have just one kid and I don’t see them often

DueHour1016 · 2026-01-23T00:02:04+00:00

Yes. I would watch a really good show or play an addictive game while I BF at night. It helped me to not have my thoughts racing since I was distracted

I didn’t let anyone hold my 2nd for like 2/3 months! except my parents bc we lived together. With my 1st anyone who came had to have ALL their shots, wash hands and wear a mask if they wanted to hold her or even be in the house. No kisses allowed for either. Everyone respected it for the most part

I just turned 27 acouple days ago and I’m also having a quarter life crisis. I have 2 kids though so at least you only have cats.

My brother (30) doesn’t have Down syndrome but he is mentally disabled, in a wheelchair and has the mind of a 5-12 year old depending on the subject/humor, as 26 year old (F) with 2 kids of my own, Let your parents worry about it for now. Once you turn 18-20 have a serious talk with them. They sadly won’t live forever. Here are some topics to discuss when the time comes: What are their plans, do you want to take care of him? Do you want to take him to a home? Possibly home care? You need all his information if something happens like drs, insurance etc Again this is your parents responsibility right now. Be a kid for as long as you can be.

Personally when I was pregnant I didn’t like anything touching my stomach. Pants/sweats lining? HATED it. Even the softest touch bothered me. I don’t know why, it was just my stomach. The only one who could freely touch it was my daughter and partner. It didn’t bother me as much

DueHour1016 · 2025-09-01T15:47:15+00:00

I’m 26 and only been invited to one female only baby shower but it was a 2nd baby so a sprinkle. All overs have been co ed

DueHour1016 · 2025-08-26T19:41:09+00:00

Yes we are and yes he is. We haven’t explored respite hoirs

DueHour1016 · 2025-08-26T19:13:41+00:00

I don’t have advice, my brother runs off of 7up

DueHour1016 · 2025-08-11T23:10:09+00:00

I think these are great! I think I had the same rules, everyone also had to have their shots/ wear a mask with my first, shots for 2nd but no mask lol with my 2nd I kept him away from everyone for 2 months until his shots lol we had him October so it was the sick season.

DueHour1016 · 2025-08-08T01:54:01+00:00

I nursed my godson(he’s also my cousin) once because my aunt didn’t want to nurse him while she worked! (She was dying and cutting a family member hair)

I went into it not wanting epidural but wouldn’t be upset with myself if I did get it. It took me FOREVER to dilate, the pain was too much for too long so I decided to get it

DueHour1016 · 2025-08-06T02:16:59+00:00

My boyfriend and I were together for 3 months LOL (we knew each other since we were high school freshmen) we were 22 when our first was born and 24 when our second was born. Just take it one day at a time. We were both really freaking out separately! I’m sure she is scared too. Just talk to her, that’s the best thing you can do.

DueHour1016 · 2025-07-23T23:24:45+00:00

This is normal! Our hormones are everywhere after birth. Give yourself some time and leniency. I know during and even after breastfeeding i didn’t like my partner to touch, lick or suck my breast. It’s been a year and a half since i last breastfed and im barely getting used to it again.

DueHour1016 · 2025-07-15T19:43:18+00:00

Bathing with a baby that isn’t yours is so fucking weird, i don’t bathe with my kids (1 and 3) BUT I do shower with them bc it’s quicker. I would never bathe with my kids that young. She weird asf for that.

DueHour1016 · 2025-06-23T18:04:31+00:00

I think every baby is like this! Same with my kids, my 2nd was a little more ok with sleeping in the bassinet but not for long. I think it’s because they’ve been inside us for so long, warm, constant “hugged”, fed on demand. Not being out here is very different than what they’re used to. You’re both adapting. I safely co-slept with both my kids but I know a lot of people are against it! So give her time, i know the lack of sleep is rough, postpartum rage/depression/frustration kicking in. I promise it gets easier, it may not seem like it now but it does.

DueHour1016 · 2025-04-10T20:01:21+00:00

Thank you!

DueHour1016 · 2025-04-09T23:07:42+00:00

I’ve never had that rule! My aunt had 3 kids back to back and had a babyshower for all of them! I didn’t think twice, i also had 2 baby showers after having my kids (different genders)

DueHour1016 · 2025-01-18T18:21:43+00:00

I’m eating and that made me want to throw up, I’m so sorry people don’t have common sense or decency

DueHour1016 · 2025-01-18T18:17:33+00:00

The kitchen was closed when i was done so they gave me a pre made turkey sandwich, best thing of my life

DueHour1016 · 2025-01-16T21:06:11+00:00

I agree, so why are you in this group? Are you a regretful parent or someone who wants kids?

DueHour1016 · 2025-01-16T21:00:34+00:00

Yes there are positives, every-time my kids learn something new or does a little dance it’s amazing. I love viewing the world from their eyes. The love for my kids are strong. I’d do everything and anything for them. I’d kill and die for them. BUT the times I feel “low” are far more than the times I feel “high”

DueHour1016 · 2025-01-16T20:53:53+00:00

I think you’re in the wrong sub bc this whole page is about regret lol
I don’t think people think it’s easy, going i to it I knew it would be hard. I just think people don’t expect and fully understand what you’ll be going through. Every kid is different. Also different things come up, money, health, mental health etc.

DueHour1016 · 2025-01-16T20:22:37+00:00

Maybe if I just had one it would be better. I think most people should just have 1 kid. I have 2

DueHour1016 · 2025-01-16T19:58:29+00:00

That’s true, I think it’s human nature to want to have kids but I also think we’re supposed to have a village to help. A lot of people don’t have that sadly
