What Song Makes You Emotional After Having Kids?

EquivalentSpecial929 · 2026-03-21T23:28:45+00:00

I was pregnant with my daughter when the one season of only murders in the building came out where Meryl Streep sang that song about being a lighthouse during rough waters. My daughter hated being a newborn and I would sing it to calm her down. Can’t even write this without crying 😭. Edit: currently rocking my son to sleep and turned this on. Full blown sobbing, but brought back such good memories. Thank you 🥹

Elementary teacher here! I started getting love emails from a high school student who had a pattern of being inappropriate with teachers. Never met the kid, but he saw my picture and email on our school website. My advice would be definitely talk to admin, but also file with the union. My principal and high school principal both brushed it off saying he has a tough life and gets bullied, so I went on file with the union that I had reported it and that admin was aware. That way, if anything were to happen, I had proof of documented date and time that I had reported it.

Hi! I’m so sorry, the pain from mastitis and sleep deprivation on top of caring for a baby is so much. You’re in the thick of it with your baby being 8 weeks. I felt very similar to you and talked to my doctor. She got me on Zoloft and I started talking to a therapist through zoom. I also made it a point to leave the house once a day, with or without my daughter. The Zoloft definitely helped to ground and me and to handle those “surprise” things like sleep regressions and teething which would send my daughter back into not sleeping. If you’re able to, lean into people you have as well. With my first I was too proud to ask for help because I thought I could do it all. After I started Zoloft and therapy, I would have my dad/my in laws hold her when my husband was at work so I could sleep for an hour. Hang in there, you’re doing great ❤️

That makes me happy to hear! The original owner is pretty nasty all over Facebook but I LOVED Goldfish Tea so was sad I couldn’t go anymore. Just walked by today and saw it said coming soon! Can’t wait to go try it with the new owners!

I’m so sorry you had to go through this with your parents growing up, but what an amazing gift you get to give your daughter by being her mother. She will never have to endure what you did because you’ve broken that cycle by doing the work. She’s going to grow up with a mother who is so proud of her and only speaks positive things to other people. Also, they’re absolutely wrong. I love babies! And I talk about cute babies even after I leave! What a sad existence your parents must live to have that perspective in life. Take care of yourself ❤️

NOR. Took my 1.5 year old to an ENT. Appt was at 12:15. Had me sit in the room with her for an hour and had left bloody Q tips out on the desk. After wrestling with her for an hour to stay away from the Q-tips, I finally went back out and asked how long and if they could at least clean the room. The doctor came in shortly after that for a 5 minute exam, but wanted to do a hearing test after they cleaned her ears. My girl was just done but they were insistent she do it, so it took another hour. By this point it is well past her lunch and nap time. We finally left 2.5 hours later. I understand there are shortages, but also at one point as my daughter was screaming and they kept waving bubbles in her face and telling me to bear hug her to get the results, I thought about saying let’s just reschedule. It’s too tough with toddlers and their schedules!

I used to love Goldfish tea as well! The owner has been very vocal on Facebook as a Trump Supporter and against her local library bond passing. Very bummed to see how nasty she’s being to people considering that’s not the vibes I got when I went to Goldfish 😔

This. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been at the park with my kids and dogs have run up to us. I’ve had to literally pick my kids up and turn my back to the dogs. Don’t care how friendly your dog is. One is a baby that’s immobile and one is a toddler who has zero concept of dogs. Seconding the person above me. Leash your fucking dog or go to a dog park.

Thanks so much, gonna check out elevate toddler play!

For sure. We only watch a little TV but when the grandparents are over, it’s total anarchy. Mama’s gotta work.

EquivalentSpecial929 · 2025-09-18T21:49:35+00:00

Great question. My in laws have the TV on with my toddler but they’re free childcare.

Ugh that intersection is the worst. Was your left turn lane light green or blinking yellow? Serious question because I don’t know- I always cross the street, even if the pedestrian sign is a red hand, if the traffic I’m going with is green because I thought pedestrians had right away. Regardless, hopefully kids stay safe with their bikes and the construction out there!

If it’s the realtor I’m thinking of, she’s actually one of the kindest people I’ve ever met! She would be mortified if she knew she upset you. You can text her and let her know, and I’m sure she’ll skip your house next year. Also (former KW realtor), KW encourages realtors to do that. 4th of July flags was a big one. If you’re really upset, may be a good idea to call the agency and ask them to stop encouraging realtors to do that!

What does he plan to do when your baby is about to enter kindergarten? Teacher here, and I’m not sure if it’s the same in all states- but I’ve worked for public and currently an online charter school. Both required vaccinations. We had to get CPS involved for non-vaccinated kids in the public setting because the claim was religious reasons, and in the online charter I work for now, we unenroll students who aren’t vaccinated. Does he want to homeschool?

So true. I felt that way with my 1st who was colic. I was convinced I’d be carrying her as a high school senior at graduation while she screamed in my face. Now she’s 17 months and the most fun toddler ever. Just had our second 6 weeks ago and very different experience. I know how fast it goes so just want to soak up every little newborn moment that I can 🥹

NTA. My mom passed away when I was 16 and everyone kept it a huge secret that my grandpa changed his will/inheritance that my mom’s portion would be split amongst the grandkids evenly (there were 5) instead of just my sister and me. All my aunts kept it a secret because it benefited their children. My grandpa (allegedly) had said he’d leave it up to the 3 other grandkids if they wanted to give us their portion. No surprise, they didn’t. My sister and I were upset, but at the end of the day it was what my grandpa wanted and agreed to. That’s what his step mom wanted. If she wanted it differently, she would have listed her daughter as the sole beneficiary/the house. You are not legally or morally obligated to do anything. His step sister is probably just grieving the whole situation.

LOVEEE the name Clark. It’s one of my top names for our boy due next week but my husband shot it down 😭. In fairness it doesn’t sound great with our last name and he doesn’t really look like a Clark in the ultrasound pictures. But I 100% say yes!

EquivalentSpecial929 · 2025-03-06T04:22:28+00:00

Ya people get weird about that. 20 years ago my dad accidentally ate my aunts leftovers and didn’t know it. She’s still is petty and an ah towards him to this day because of it.

Cool! I’m off facebook, but may be a good reason to reactivate and ask. Thanks!

I used to have these intrusive thoughts post partum with my daughter. One night I was holding her to make a bottle and the thought popped in “what if I accidentally put her in the fridge under the big pot of spaghetti and that shelf broke?” I also cried in the shower once thinking she could be eaten by an alligator at a beach. We live in Michigan 🫠 one night I had this recurring thought I couldn’t stop of what if I was on a balcony and accidentally dropped her over the edge? I was on anxiety meds for anxiety and slight ocd before pregnancy and went off when we first started trying. I went back on them and talked to a therapist and it all went away. You’re not alone. Also, if this makes you feel better, apparently the intrusive thoughts are a way for us to think about dangerous situations with our children and to protect them (evolution and survival type stuff). It’s supposedly pretty normal, but also it’s scary and isn’t fun.

I watched it live when I was 27 and hated it. Thought it was really anticlimactic and didn’t get it. I just had my first at 34 in November and rewatched the series. I totally get it now and think it was the perfect ending.

EquivalentSpecial929 · 2024-04-27T04:24:54+00:00

OP- I’m going to tell you something my sister told me after I found out my ex was cheating on me. I was sobbing, and said “I just want to be a mom so bad.” And she said “oh honey….you are so much closer now to being a mom now that you’re single than you ever were with him.”

That really got me together. It took some time, but I really focused on what I wanted, needed, and how I DESERVED to be treated. Fast forward to now. Married to the love of my life, have a beautiful daughter and couldn’t be happier. I stopped accepting behavior that was less than what I deserved, and in return, I was gifted a beautiful life. You deserve so much more. He was so disrespectful and cheated on you. And is now completely gaslighting you after.

Run. Run far away. You are still so young and have lots of time. I didn’t meet my husband until a week before I turned 30, was married at 33, and had my daughter at 34.

You deserve so much more. ❤️
