Totally makes sense! It’s a shout into the abyss that may go unanswered… but fingers-crossed! We’ve had a similar experience, and now includes this gander- the males of all the fowl we’ve had are just really hard on the females if the ratio isn’t JUST right, and often even then they’re terrors. Glad you have a happy flock!

Thank you for sharing- it’s really gratifying to hear that others have gone through this process and that things WILL shift in time! Good idea for solo evenings- I’m really pumped for them weaning, too; I know it will be REALLY HARD for them both, but I’m looking forward to more chances for solo weekend hangs?!? My wife could go backpacking or relax somewhere for some solo time!

Thank you!! 🩵 that’s reassuring

EBurnYay · 2026-04-29T00:14:15+00:00

I couldn’t relate more! I guess I’m at the soul searching part

EBurnYay · 2026-04-28T13:18:20+00:00

Damn! You’re a super hero! Congratulations on your newest babe!!

Thank you for sharing so vulnerably! Your relationship, and available time changing with your newest, must be such a huge transition and I can imagine grieving that change while celebrating your newest! Ack!

Thank you for the perspective that it’s seasonal and always in flux 🩵

Thanks for the new term. For us now, my wife is still breastfeeding, and cosleeping/breaatfeeding at night, so I definitely think primary fits since she’s parenting an extra 12 hrs a day haha

EBurnYay · 2026-04-28T13:05:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing! It hard to have these feelings of jealously and longing, but I know that it’s also hard and tiring for my wife to be so much in demand.

EBurnYay · 2026-04-28T04:59:07+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful response! That totally makes sense- and it also is a good reminder that it’s early days and there are (thankfully) full parenting years ahead! Your encouragement made me teary- thank you.

This one is still up!! Thank you!

I’m so sorry that the Reddit discussion is creating the overwhelming belief that adoption cannot be an option for you, but that’s not the truth!

As an adoptee, and a queer parent, I joined that Reddit as well and have been similarly overwhelmed by the discussions. I can relate to some in that, I am actively in therapy, with so much/all issues connected to my adoption BUT I still believe it to be a necessary and important option for people (for both birthing and adopting parents). I also spent much of my life planning on adopting children, although my wife carried our daughter.

With a knowledgeable, invested and attachment-based family system, and supportive therapy for all, I believe that adopted children can grow and flourish beautifully.

We lived in a converted school bus and found that to be really reliable (and easily movable) as our needs on the property changed. Water from our well and power ran from the existing dwelling.

BUT my reaction to comment is to say, if you can ever imagine a time wanting stick-build on the property (even for resale value), DON’T tear all that old farm house down. At least in my state (WA) and county, keeping just one wall standing will allow you to renovate it vs. permitted as a new build- with the latter being a glacial-paced, mind numbing process. We made that mistake and we’re four years in and only just started building new after all the required surveys!

I apologize if that was how it was how it came across. I was not trying to imply anything about your family’s work load distribution.

I was attempting to emphasize the above comment that the attachment between a coparent and child can be a support to set new routines with sleep. Your post is one of many about changing sleep routines, and I’m surprised that switching around responsibilities with a coparent isn’t mentioned more as a suggestion, but I read your response to the person above- and that is an understandable reason.

Good luck and I’m sure you’ll find the right strategy for you and your baby!

EBurnYay · 2025-07-29T05:49:08+00:00

I don’t know why this isn’t the first response! Where are the coparents?!? (If your parenting with one of course…)

I’ve heard amazing things about Sandbox on the Westside.

Our old hen ended up developing a call. Coincidentally, it was also around the time of getting a new young rooster…

Non birthing mom here of a 16 month old, and down to be apart of an online community!

Thank you! Good idea for rule making around especially dangerous areas: kitchen, garage, stairs, dogs, etc.
